Fun with the kiddos!

We had lots of fun while Lexi, Brecken and Tayden were staying at our house last week! Some of the things we did were play with cousins, watch Frozen, take Lexi to dance class, help the kids with homework, run errands, play outside, visit the baby at the hospital and much, much more! Jeremy and Meg got the Frozen soundtrack for the kids, so anytime we were in the car (which ended up being quite a bit!), the kids would always want to be listening to Frozen! We all loved it! It is so fun to hear sweet Lexi singing along in the back seat, she is such an awesome singer for her age! I am so glad that we got to spend so much time together this past week! It was so much fun! I love those kids! 

Here are some pictures we snapped while the kids were here!

Evelyn is here!!

Evelyn Pearl Hall was born Tuesday March 18th at 10:33 pm. She is an angel and I am so glad she is a part of our family! Congrats Jeremy and Meg! I love you guys!

I was able to watch Lexi, Brecken and Tayden while Jeremy and Meg were at the hospital. On Tuesday night we were up waiting to hear any news about the baby with the kids, and when the clock hit 9:30, we decided it would be best to put all of the kids to bed and just go see the baby on Wednesday. So we got everyone situated and they were all asleep by 10:00. I was lying in my bed with Lexi and Brecken when we got the text saying Evelyn had finally made her grand debut into this world at 10:33 PM! We ended up waking up all of the kids and going to see the baby at the hospital because we were all so excited! The kids were kind of hard to wake up, but when they heard their baby sister was here, they were so ready to see her!

We had a fun couple of days going to visit them at the hospital and taking this kids to and from the various activities! I am so glad that I got to spend so much time with Lexi, Brecken and Tayden, I love those kids so much! I am glad that both baby and mommy are safe and that Evelyn is here safe and sound!

  

I love you Evelyn! I am so glad that I am now an aunt times 9!!

P.S. Soon I will post some more about things that we did with the kids while they were staying with us, like getting FROZEN in the mail and watching it multiple times!! We also were constantly listening to the FROZEN soundtrack this week! We might be a little obsessed ;)

I love being an aunt! {LIAM}

Liam Ezra Whittle

Liam is a cutie! I have loved having him and his family back in Utah! I missed them all so much! I have loved getting to know this little boy more over the past few weeks. He has such a fun personality, he is always so busy and on the go! He is always happy, and loves playing with toys! I love you Liam! I can't wait to see the young man you become!

I love being an aunt! {TAYDEN}

TAYDEN JAY HALL

Tayden is such a sweetheart! He has been growing up so much lately! He is getting to that stage where he doesn't ever want to be held and he just wants to walk around and play with all of the big kids! He is so sweet and will grow up to be quite popular with all of the girls with those big brown eyes! He is always on the go and very busy! I have loved seeing how cute he is with Lexi and Brecken and I can't wait to see how he is with his new sister that will be here in March! I love you Tayden! You are so sweet and loving!

This past summer when I watched him for a few weeks while Lexi and Brecken were at swimming lessons!

Playing with the Backyardigan guitar, which seems to be every kid's favorite toy (and the most annoying!)

I love being an aunt! {LINCOLN}

LINCOLN ANDREW WHITTLE

Lincoln is the sweetest little angel! I love how his glowing smile can always brighten my day! He has really been a true light in all of our lives! I remember when Lincoln was born, he was in the NICU for a while, so I didn't get to hold him until he was home, which I think was a few weeks after he was born. We could only see him through the window. He was so cute and it was so heartbreaking to only be able to see him through the window. I loved being able to finally hold him. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. I am so proud of how much he is growing up in the past year! He has accomplished so many new things! I love you Lincoln! You are a sweetie!

Lincoln loved seeing himself in the front facing camera on my phone!

How can that smile not brighten your day?!

Lincoln and Olivia when he was just little bitty!

Poor little baby in the NICU.

I love being an aunt! {BRECKEN}

BRECKEN JAYCE HALL

Brecken is the second of my nieces and nephews. He is such a sweet little boy and really cares about other people! Brecken gives the very best bear hugs! I love Brecken and I am so glad that he is a part of our family. I can't believe how fast he is growing up! I got back from school a month ago and I remember seeing Brecken and thinking he had gotten so big! He grows more each day! I always notice more sweet things that he does every time he comes over to our house! I love this boy and I am so glad that I am his aunt!

Holding Brecken for the first time in the hospital! I was already in love!

Sweet Brecken giving me a kiss! I love this boy!
