RIght On Our Heels

Halle is literally on our heels anymore. She is practically running! She loves to be outside in an open area to just go for it! These videos may not be the best of quality. They were filmed on the macbook. And please excuse my over exagerating the word, HI. I was trying to say it the way she does so that she would repeat it. Dan is right when he says parent hood is the death of cool. Ha! We are so proud of Halle Grace.

My ambitious little baby girl

Halle has been walking since two weeks before she turned ten months old and she is only getting faster. I think she just couldn't wait to hang with the big kids at church and run around with them. She is now chasing the cat around. My baby Halle is no longer content in my arms, she only wants to get down and waddle everywhere which means we are overdue to safe proof the house. This is just a tid bit of a video. Much more is to come. I have so much to show you guys and so much to share. I can hardly keep up with little Halle.

Oh and funny thing about this video. Halle loves necklaces. She will not take it off. She will wear one all day. And when you take it off, she immediately goes to wherever you dropped it off and puts it back on herself. One thing that'll make my baby happy is a necklace. She is my girl.

I am so proud of my ambitious little baby girl.

Sturgis Fall Parade

Two weeks ago, we were able to participate in a famous yearly parade part of the Sturgis Falls festival here in Cedar Falls. Dan led the GT Church band in a 17 song set in a 45 minute route throughout downtown Cedar Falls. The band did an AMAZING job. I was sooo proud of GT Band and SUPER proud of my hotty hubby Dan! We received so much positive feedback from people that saw us. We even heard people passing by talking about how rockin the music was coming from the GT Church float. PRAISE JESUS! So glad we could rock it out for Him. The decorations were designed, started, and completed the day before the parade. They turned out pretty good for one day of work. But the silhouettes of our trees at the ends are not seen in these pictures because a few minutes before the parade started they were chopped in half by the wind:( My camera went down right before the parade started so I was unable to get some good float in action photos. The pictures below were taken by one of our church members who was in the crowd. I wish I could have got some closer but am thankful for being able to retrieve these. Sweet, beautiful Amy! SHE"S GETTING MARRIED in DECEMBER!
GT Church...A city within the Cities. Taylor looked really enthused.
Deb, our piano player and her cutie son Brennon.

There is Carol Smiley, the sweety that she is justa smilin and waving.

There were a few close calls of falling off when the truck jolted.
We had some kids follow behind the float with signs and balloons and their KMotion T shirts.
