Driving to Joies Birthday Dinner...

We had just as much fun driving to Joies Birthday Dinner as we had at the actual dinner. Dani thought that we were all crazy. On the way into Boise, Joie and I stopped to the Homecoming Game to sing the National Anthum. It was really good. It was raining and we were standing in a box so there was no pictures.

I never knew how much of a nut Joie was until this night.

And Jenna just plays along with the nuttiness.

See!!!

Nutty Girls!!!

Again, Nutty!

But can be so ADORABLE!!!

The Walker Sisters!!!

Crazy Joie!!!

Crazy Joie!!!! AGAIN!!!!

Horseshoe Bend High Homecoming Parade...

Jenna looks thrilled to be here but we had a lot of fun. The high school has a parade consisting of a float for each class, Senior, Junior, Sophamore, Freshman, and the two fire trucks in Horseshoe Bend. A couple of Police Cars and a Couple of the students cars. The principal and a few students ride their horses. They all throw candy and the whole town lines the street. It is a bunch of fun to watch the high schoolers enjoy themselves.

Gettin' Ready to Start!

The Town linning up on the street. The Highway Patrol stops traffic on the only road through the mountian range for this 2 minute parade. It is great!!!

Here is the Volleyball teams float. Joie was front and Center.

Joie VolleyBall Game...

Joie is a GREAT Volleyball player. It was so much fun to watch her and her team. It was a really close game and we all enjoyed it. Even Dani enjoyed watching the ball go back and forth over the net. Great news...Joie and her team are District Champs.

Good Job Joie!!!!!

Horseshoe Bend...

Danilynn had so much fun visiting her aunts and grandparents. She and Jenna spent a lot of time wondering around the yard. Dani loved to be outside. It was a bit cold but she still enjoyed walking around out there.
Joie spent a lot of time on the floor will Dani. Dani started to scoot around while we were up in Idaho.

Oh, Jenna! She has been through a lot in the past year and a half. She is currently going to Boise State and is doing really good in school.

Happy Girl!!! Dani loved to play with everyone. She is Such a Joyful Baby!! My mom kept saying that she acts like a little person already. She has her mind made up about what she wants and she goes for it.

Here is my Beautiful Mommy. Isn't she Gorgeous? I love her. She is such an amazing mom. Thank You Mom for all that you did, are doing and will do in the future for my family.

We Love You!!!

Danilynn's First Plane Ride!!!

Dani and I were lucky enough to go and spend a week in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho with my parents. We flew from Phoenix to Las Vegas where we stayed on the plane and the headed to Boise. Grandpa and Grandma Walker were there to meet us. We were so EXCITED to get off the plane. Dani did a really good job flying. I had her out of her car seat most of the time, except for when she was sleeping. She was the entertainer of the whole plane. The all loved her.

Cousin Cameron Barber...

This is Danilynn's cousin Cameron Jason Barber. He is so much fun!!!

We went to say goodbye to Cameron and his parents Cami and Jason before we left Utah. We had to play in the grass while we had the chance.

The "Farewell"/Blessing...

Jordan was nice enough to share his special day with us. He did a marvelous job on his talk about miracles. Jeremy gave Danilynn a very beautiful blessing full of wonderful promises.

It was Our Anniversary. It was so great to be in the garden where we had our Reception. We had a lot of great memories to talk about while we were there.

Uncle Fred was kind enough to share his backyard with us for the day. All the Hale grandkids had fun fishing out the little tiny new fish. Some parents let them take them home, some didn't. Whitney already had a few at her house so she put hers back.

I love this picture!!

Snoozing with Grandpa Walker after such a busy day!!!

Jenna, her hair is really growing good. Good job Jen!!!

Elder Jordan Hale Walker off to the Chili Santiago West Mission.

JoAnna Kaye, Senior in High School. So Beautiful!!!

Bathing with Nate...

The first thing that I have to say is...how in the world is my child more tan than Erika's? We may live in Arizona, but this summer it was way too hot to go outside so Dani's natural skin tone is darker than Nates. She really didn't get it from me.

They had so much fun in the bath together.
OH, so very cute!!!
Hi, Grandma Walker!!!!

Staying at Jon and Britt's...

Whitney is so adorable. She crawled into Dani's carseat and just hung out there for a little while.

We had so much fun with our family. We stayed in Jon and Brittany's brand new home. It is so beautiful. And we all fit. Jerrod and Erika's Family stayed there too.
Grandma Hale even came and spent some quality time with us and the grandkids. It is so good to see her. She looks so good. WE LOVE GRANDMA HALE!!!!

Nate was excited to see her too!!!

Justin's Soccor Game...

We were lucky enough to be able to see Justing play Soccor. We were excited to see Anna play too, but her game was canceled because of the Rain. Justin was so fun to watch. His neighbor Garrison is on the same team and they are so cute. Garrisons mom, Heather, and Erika are the coaches and they do a terrific job.
Justin wasn't so much a fan of playing in the game as he was practicing before the game. But it was still fun to see him play. We have our own little athlete on our hands.

Playing with Nater...

We drove all night to get to Utah. It was the best way we figured for Dani to do the best traveling. She slept most of the way. But once we got there she had so much fun playing with her cousins. Nate and her would laugh at each other while Nathan would slowing get closer and closer to her. She couldn't get away so she would just laugh. They had a lot of fun.

Nathan is such a cute kid. I hope that one day we can all be closer together so that Dani can enjoy all of her adorable cousins.
