The pond in front of the lincon memorial was full of baby ducks! We had to get pictures!

DC trip



Poor Jayden got stuck behind us


I had to get a picture of this for all the Halle's. The restaraunt went out of business though.

Just a couple pictures of my house. I recently painted my kitchen. I finally went red! Now I need a few more lights in there to brighten it up a bit.

They aren't the graetest pictures. They breezed through the ceremony and I was at the back of the room. Brittin is now officially a Webelo1 and Jayden is Officially a Tiger!

May

We just found out that our school does a 1 month summer school/camp and we will be able to enroll our 3 for free! So we have our summer pretty much planned out now! Yay! We have cub scout and girl scout camp the same week in June. Still figuring out how we're going to swing that. I am volunteering as a den leader for Jayden's den for 4 days and then will be spending Friday at Aleyna's camp. I wish I could go with her more, but someone has to be on sight with Jayden since he is a Tiger. Matt has to work, but is taking Friday off to be with the boys. So I get at least 1 day with Aleyna.

In July we have the Baltimore COunty fair which all 3 are entering things with our 4-h group. Oh and I get to enter some things too! I've always wanted to do that! I'm entering photos and an art project. Just have to pick them out and print them. I'm still taking pictures. It's just hard to choose from so many. Brittin wanted to ride in the fair, but he has to pass a written and a riding test. I have had him up on Domani only a handful of times. I told him next year he will be able to. I wish I could afford real lessons. I think he would listen much better to someone else. All 3 love to ride. Brittin has a natural talent for it. He has no fear at all. He will trot around all day if I let him. I would love to get them a smaller pony that would be easier for them to lead and tack up themselves. My guy is wonderful, he's just too tall! He really is a sweetheart. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He seems to love toting the kids around. Aleyna has finally decided she enjoys trotting, but Jayden isn't quite there yet. This is my daredevil who is terrified of going fast! He still doesn't like rides on the motorcycle. He's very baffling!

End of July beginning August we go to Wisconsin for our anual trip without Matt. Matt is going to fly up for 4-5 days though and help me drive home. Our whole family is so excited. They already have a trip planned to Bay Beach in Green Bay which is this really neat amusement park where the rides are $.50 each! We went last year with all the cousins and second cousins and everyone had a blast! It's already planned out 3 months in advance now!

Matt loves his job here. It is the best job he has ever had. It pays quite well and the people he works with are awesome! Plus I found my dream job as a barn manager, though I have to admit the job sucks ass. Sorry but it really does.


Everyone at Matt's job loves him. The docs request him by name. The patients give him good comments by name. He has met a doc from New Zealand who owns a 700 acre horse farm who has invited us to come stay with them!!! Can you imagine!New Zealand! Where Lord Of The Rings was filmed. He said when he is finished with his residencey here and moves back we are welcome any time. You know people across the pond actually mean it too. We have never been anywhere except NC, WI, or AZ for trips. If we could drop our kids off with my parents and take 2 weeks down there. Man what a dream. We could finally go on our honeymoon like 15 years late. He has also met a super awesome doc from Ireland. These docs keep his name and give him cards and tell him to come work for their practice across the pond! He is that well liked at work. So it would be monumentally unfair of me to ask him to leave his job to move closer to my family.
