Sad Day

Yesterday Betsy passed away. It was a sad sad day and
we sure are going to miss her. My family got Betsy when
I was a senoir in High School and when Mosley died
(mine and Branden's first dog after we got married)
Betsy came to live at our house to help me get my mind
off Mosley. She lived with us before I had Quinton and for
about a year after he was born so Bran and I consider her
our dog. She was the funniest dog I have ever meet and
wasn't even really like a dog but more like a loud
breathing little old man that roamed our house. She
adored Quinton from day one. When we moved Quinton
into his own room we would be laying in bed and all the
sudden hear Betsy breathing through the monitor. She
would have slept by Q's crib every night if we would
have let her. She was a very easy going dog who loved
getting pet, shaking her bum in your face when you
would stop, pretending to be a lap dog, Chasing the
4-wheeler, and of course her lover the wheel borrow.
Yeah she was a goof!! We will miss Besty so much and
never forget all the good laughs she gave us!!!

This is the last picture I got of Quinton and Betsy together

a few weekends ago the the cabin.

More Summer Fun

We have had so much fun at Rigby Lake this summer.
Quinton loves that place!! We went with my sister and
her kids and we have also been there with my friend
Jessica and her cute little boy Krew. I have never been
to Rigby Lake until this summer and now we can't get
enough of it. It is the perfect place for little kids. Quinton
was a little timid about getting in the water at first but once
his older cousins got in he followed right behind them. He
also was not a huge fan of the sand on his bare feet. He
must have his hands and feet clean at all times.













Q doing a little stretching before hitting the water.















The kids loved playing in the sand.



















Cute little Krew





































A few weekends ago my cousin came into
town so we all went up to the ranch to ride
4-wheelers, roast hot dogs, swim in the creek,
and ride horses. We had a great time and
Quinton loved playing with his cousins.











Our intense Volleyball game in the creek.












Bran was playing in a golf tournament that weekend so he
wasn't able to make it. That would be why he is not in the photo.











Quinton was cracking us up in these shrubs. He was
striking poses and everything. What a goofball!!




























Riding old Grey. Q's first time riding on a horse.












My cousin Kaleena, my little sister Megan, me, and my
older sister Chelsi

Playing in the water(apparently with cows)
and exploring with cousin Conley













































My parents bought these for me and my sisters when
we were little and now our kids feel the same
way about them as we did. They absolutely love them!!
Quinton hasn't driven one by himself yet but I'm sure
there will be plenty of that in the future. Good times!!

Fun Summer Happenings

We have had a crazy busy summer so far and have been
loving every minute of it. I have gotten way behind on
blogging so this is a major catch up with tons of pictures.










One of Q's new favorite activities. He got this bat about a
month ago and loves the thing. He watches baseball games
on TV with Bran and copies exactly what the hitters do.
His swing is looking pretty good. He got a tee for his
birthday and we have spent many days outside playing
t-ball. The kid loves his sports.












Happy Father's Day! I told you I was way behind.
Bran is such a good daddy and we love him so much.
Here's Q giving Bran his sweet homemade gifts we made
him. Too cute!!












Quinton has been playing a little to hard outside and has
gotten plenty of these beauties. He takes the bonks like a
champ now a days. Atta Boy!!!


















Who doesn't love licking the spoons




















*************************
We had a super fun day with
cousins at Ross Park. Quinton's
favorite thing was the lazy river.
The fun splashing toys -not a fan.













Laying out. That's my boy!!






















Q with his cousins Bryler and Conley.
**************************************************
I took Quinton to the Splash Park with his good buddy
Drake a while back and yes it was before Ross Park so
I had no idea my child was such a wuss when it came to
water splashing on him. He hated it. Pretty sure he didn't
even touch the water. At least Drake had a good time. He
was a mad man at that place. Quinton was much more
interested in the carousel.

We have spent plenty of fun days

with buddies

Cute Drake

Quinton and Stockton. My good friend Kylee came into

town and we were able to get the kiddos together. **************************************************

Some typical summer days around the Hall residence.

It has been pretty hot this summer and Q is usually always

cruising around in his diaper. A little white trash-maybe.

**************************************************

Boating. We love it!!!

My little sister Megan and I

Q cheering on Aunt Megan or May May in Quinton's words.

That's one cool cat!!

We played softball again this summer and had a party.

I am so sad it is already over. We had seven wins and only

three losses. Whoo Hoo!! Way to go Kelley Appraisers.

(Thanks Greg for sponsoring us)

*********************************

And finally the end. This weekend we went

and watched the Blue Angels. They were

Amazing!! We sat at the soccer fields right

by the airport and had an awesome view.

Those things flew right over our heads. It

was nuts. They were crazy loud and Quinton

quickly figured that out and started covering his

ears. Before they started we had a nice little

football game going and you know Quinton

was not missing out on that action.

By the end Quinton was so wore out he actually passed

out while they were still preforming. I seriously have

no idea how he slept through all that noise. Poor kid must

have been exhausted!
