My first born munchkin lover is hilarious! Having a three year old is quite entertaining as well as draining. She really throws me for a loop most days with the crazy things that come out of her mouth.

Some of my favorite sayings are:
“Whatever you say mom” ha this one rarely gets said but when it does I love it!
“I love you big mountain” (We say this to each other in reference to how much we love each other.)

Some of my favorite stories are:
After talking the neighbors ear off in the car Ben told Hallie, “You are really good at talking.” To which Hallie replied, “I know, I’ll never stop.” lol This explains my life with Hallie perfectly. She never stops talking!

While riding in the car Ben and I were having a conversation and after it ended Hallie asked, “Mom why are you not talking?” I told her because sometimes you don’t have to talk you can just be quiet. She looked at me and asked, “Why would you be quiet?”

She and Ben went to the hardware store to pick up a few things. One of which was a snow shovel. Hallie saw the small shovels (made to go in your car) and Hallie asked Ben for one. He told her no and then she said, “Come on Dad don’t be shy. Just buy it for me.” haha After hearing that Ben was putty in her hands and bought it for her. We wrapped it for her for Christmas and it might just have been her favorite present. lol

Hallie, Kyle and I went to see Santa at the mall planning on just visiting and not buying a picture. It is such a rip off to pay so much money for one picture. I hadn’t mentioned any thing to Hallie about them taking pictures etc. I just told her we would go see him. She had no idea they took your picture and tried selling it to you. Anyway, we get there and Hallie is ecstatic! She jumped right on his lap and talked his ear off telling him how much she missed him and how much she loved him. I am watching her snuggle and squeeze him tight as if he is her best friend in the whole world. Now this Santa is a.maz.ing! He looks just like the real thing and is chatting her ear off too. He tells her she has been a great big sister and he is so proud of her for being a good girl etc etc. Then he asks, “What do you want for Christmas this year?” Hallie looks at him, squeezes him yet again and says, “I only want a picture of you!” My mouth dropped. I then turned to Santa’s helpers and told them to take the dang picture. So $16 and one awesome picture later we made a memory. She was so excited the rest of the day and her excitement rubbed off on the rest of us.

She loves playing pretend. Every hour of every day we are in a world of make believe. We are rarely ourselves. She tells me who I am and what we are playing and we go with it.  If there is ever a break in conversation she says, “Mom talk”.

She and Kyle bath together all the time and one night Hallie looked at his penis and said “That is craziness!”

She makes up the best songs. She defiantly takes after me with her singing abilities but man are the words hilarious. Two songs are never the same.

I can’t remember what we were talking about but she came to me and said “That is ridiculous!”

She told her uncles Shawn and Tyler and her aunt Marci that “sometimes Kyle is just annoying”. I don’t remember teaching her that word. lol

She got mad at Kyle and yelled at him, “Kyle. you. are. a. genius!” haha It made me laugh. There is nothing like trying to insult someone but complimenting them instead.

We all love our Hallie bug! She has got just enough red in her hair to explain the reason why she is the way she is. lol
