Bathtime

This girl loves her bubble baths! She could stay in the tub all day long!

She's loving playing with her feet these days :)

Fiesty Babe

I love dressing this little punk up, especially for church. Even if she is awful to take there.. haha. Three hours is a long time for adults to sit in church, but for a baby who isn't ever even awake for more then two hours at a time (and who won't sleep in my arms anymore I should mention..) three hours is wayyyy too long! So we take some naps in the car ;)

Trip to Portland

In January, Jonathan came across an amazing deal on a boat. We've been wanting our own boat anyways, and January is a good time to buy cause thats when you can score on some deals! The catch was that it was in Portland, so we decided to make a little trip out of it! We just crashed at a hotel nearby and Jonathan checked out the boat in the morning and got to cruise on a lake to test it out. Everything checked out great & we made it ours! We then had an afternoon to spare before the next day driving home, and our friends, Kat & Andrew Matthews happened to be in town for a wedding, so we got to spend the day exploring Portland with them!

 We had an amazing donut at the famous Vodoo Doughnuts:

And we also checked out the beautiful Portland Temple. 

It was a quick, but fun trip, and we couldn't be happier to be coming back with a boat of our own! YAY!

3 Month Old Hallie!

On Christmas Eve our tiny baby turned 3 months old! She's the cutest!

A Georgia Christmas!

We started off our Christmas festivities with a little faux-Christmas with the Eldredge's. We of course were so spoiled, especially little Hallie who didn't even know what was going on ;)

Then we got excited for Hal's very first flight, to Georgia!!

Ok, truthfully I was more nervous, than excited to fly. I was terrified I was going to have the non-stop screaming child on the flights that everyone hated. But actually she did REALLY well! And she was asleep almost the whole time we were in the air!

 Zonked out!

 After flights being delayed, and not getting in until 4am, and having to walk seriously at least a mile to baggage claim due to the trams at the ATL airport being down (anyone who knows ATL knows that is NOT ok...) we finally made it to my parents house. Hallie miraculously did great the whole traveling experience, and luckily I had Jonathan with me to calm my nerves :)

Finally we got to party with the fam! Which, let's be honest, mostly consists of lots of picture taking of the babies!

We spent an afternoon bowling as a family, it was Avery's first time which was really fun to see her try to lift a ball as big as her!

 We had Christmas Eve snuggles after going out to eat. Which fyi, is a bad idea with as big of a family we have! haha seriously though, over an hour wait in a crowded restaurant with no waiting area and 4 crying babies isn't the smartest decision we've ever had ;)

 At least this one eventually went to sleep, after I got spaghetti sauce all over her white top of course haha

And we just had fun with all the littles!

 We were wayyy too entertained by recreating this hilarious picture! hahah we think we're so funny!

We had a fun Christmas morning, especially watching Avery get so excited to open presents, she's at such a fun stage!

A gift bigger than her!

I was grateful to be able to have another fun Cushman Christmas! (even when I was stuck in a room with a very feisty 3 month old who got her very first cold from sharing with the little cousins haha yikes!) 

The night after Christmas we went to the Lights at Callaway Gardens, it was fun to explore somewhere new!

 Then before we knew it, our week was up and it was time to head back to Boise. We had to get the baby girls in their matching outfits of course! Then we went to Atlantic station for a little shopping.

Since our flight was ridiculously early in the morning and we were already going to Atlanta the night before, my dad was able to get us a hotel stay at the Marriott right next to the airport to save an additional drive! We said our goodbyes, then crashed for the night (Hal took over the whole bed ;)  Then it was back to flying! So long Peach State! 

Hallie Visits Santa!

We took Hallie (dressed as a little Elf!) to visit Santa! Hope to take her to do this every year!

We then took our little elf for a family dinner at Texas Roadhouse. YUM :)

Utah Trip

After Thanksgiving we decided to take a little weekend trip to Utah! Jonathan and his family wanted to go to Logan to see Natalie's boyfriend, Eric play his last game at Utah state, and Summer and I thought we'd take the opportunity to go see Brooke, Jordan & Boston! We got to Logan Friday night and went to dinner with the fam then crashed at a hotel. Summer & I got to hot tub for a few which was fun. It was cool to see the cute town of Logan where Natalie goes to school! Then in the morning while J went to the game we made the drive to Ogden area :)

Hallie was a champ on the drive, so sleepy :)

Auntie Sum Sum with two babes!

With Brooke Jordan & Boston we decided to go to Salt Lake and to the City Creek Mall 

 It was fun to see all the cool lights, then go to the temple square and see how beautiful that was as well

 Cute Family

After Summer, Hallie and I got lost for 30 minutes in the parking lot trying to find our car we finally made our way back up to meet with the Eldredge clan & head home. It was a fun little weekend!
