Catch Up & Happy Birthday Emmie!

April 10, 2011

Oh my, where has the time gone?
So much has happened in the Halterhome since I posted regularly.
But first let me say a giant HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY to my niece, Emmie.
We had her birthday dinner here tonight.  Grace spent the afternoon making chocolate cupcake "ice cream cones," a fabulous card, and personalized wrapping paper.  Emmie also wanted a birthday pie, so that was where we stuck the candles.
Here are the pictures from the birthday party tonight:

 Finally, a good one of everyone...

Guess what's in the package? A pogo stick.

Happy Birthday Emmie!

Miss Halter Goes to Washington

October 20, 2009
My niece, Emmie, and her mom, Kathy, spent their fall break in Washington D.C. It was much cooler and wetter than Arizona.
They saw lots of cool monuments and museums.
Now our family wants to go visit the Nation's Capitol. Maybe Spring Break?
My one request to Emmie was that she bring me back something with Obama on it. Apparently, the vendors in D.C. slap Obama's image on just about anything. They had a hard time choosing




I love this one of Emmie reading the Gettysburg address.  Hope she has a good memory because Tommy had to recite it in sixth grade.




Here are some of the Obama souveniers Emmie picked out for me: a deck of playing cards and a keychain. 

The deck has joker cards and to my disappointment they did not have Bush's image on them. 

: )

 Sorry.  I try not to be political, but I had to get that one in.

Thanks Emmie (and Kathy).
