THE BISSETT FAMILY

A Very Princess Christmas

2010-12-14T19:25:00.000-08:00

So as I'm putting Hallie to bed tonight I asked her to tell me a story. She told me about "Hallie Princess" who fell and got dirty and her fairy came and gave her a "booful" (beautiful) dress to dance in- basically the condensed version of Cinderella. When she got the part about losing her slipper I said, "Oh no, how did she get it back?!"

She just smiled and told me, "The wise men brought it to her!"

Who knew? Apparently the wise men deliver glass slippers along with frankincense and myrrh!

Don't get too excited...

2010-11-09T08:15:00.001-08:00

No pictures, and not much of a "real" post from the Bissett's...life's been pretty crazy which is why I need a break and want to win this give-away from Mandy Baker Photography!

my way or the highway!

So Hallie is an independent sort of girl. She knows what she wants, when she wants it, and when it doesn't happen she gets a little attitude...

I can't really remember what it was that she wasn't impressed with here; I think maybe that I'd run out of Rocket candies.

She's also been really funny lately about asking what's going on. She likes to be involved and will ask, "What you talking about?" if she feels like she's not part of the conversation; or "What you mean "insert word here"?" usually preceded by a wrinkled nose and several huh? Huh? HUH's? The other day I was a little exasperated with her and let out a big sigh. She turned to me and says, "Mom, why you say *sighing noise*?" Needless to say my frustration was diffused and all Chris and I could do was laugh!

Summer is for the birds

2010-07-17T19:16:00.000-07:00

Earlier this month we went with some family to the Bird's of Prey center in Coaldale. Hallie enjoyed watching the birds...from a distance. She wasn't quite brave enough to try and hold the little burrowing owl like her cousins.

Oh lovely.

2010-03-04T09:33:00.000-08:00

We've noticed Hallie's been growing a lot, and doing lots of "big girl" things lately, but last Sunday she decided that she is now grown up enough to wear heels and make-up...what am I in for!?

I don't think she even got any on her lips.

Wearing Mom's red heels most of the afternoon.

Hallie found my lipstick...need I say more.

The Latest of Hallie's Antics

2010-01-29T00:23:00.000-08:00

Hallie really likes to watch me cook. She pulls up her little stool and observes everything very carefully and is thrilled when she occasionally gets to mix ingredients for me. The other day I came into the kitchen to find that Hallie was stirring up a little concoction of peaches and toast and left-over eggs on the stove...yummy!

A few Saturdays ago Chris and I were getting all ready to go to the temple and Hallie immediately asked if we were going to Church and if she was going to nursery! "No," I told here, "Mom and Dad are going to the temple and Hallie is going to Aunt Caitlin's" Her reply was "Hallie go to the temple too!!" Hmmm, I couldn't very well tell her that she couldn't go to the temple so I told her that we would take her later that day, as we were going up to Salt Lake in the afternoon. She then ran to her room and found her dress and stockings so that she could go to the temple. I guess she talked about going to the temple the whole time she was with Caitlin and Grant.

She was very pleased when we got there, but disappointed she was not allowed to play in the water- it was freezing!

Here's my thrilling news; Hallie is potty trained. Whoo-whoo, as she likes to say! All it took was some good ol' fashioned bribery and a week indoors with little else to do!

A few Tootsie-pops and a fancy sound-making puzzle and Hallie is a full-fledged, potty using, underwear sporting girl. She now only requires a marshmallow or Tic-Tac to be satisfied...we'll seen how long it lasts!

Yup, we love her.

So this is Hallie sporting the new dress I made for her out of an old t-shirt and some kitty fabric. I found the pattern on this site and I'm pretty much obsessed with making things from it. So far I've also done their wipes cover(just in time to not have use for it any more) and Kleenex box cover which you can see in the background.

Hallie insisted on wearing the Canada socks she got from Grandma Regehr for the picture. She likes the dress fine. The socks, on the other hand (or foot perhaps), she loves! I'm pretty sure they didn't come off for about a week and, once washed, they went right back on!

Hmmm, this looked rather suspicious...

...and then I saw this. Lovely.

As you can see we keep...busy. And entertained to say the very least.

2010-01-27T09:18:00.001-08:00

I am not the most organized person around. But some days I feel like I'm living like this:

When I really want to be living like this:

Note all the books in that first picture; that would be Chris and his English major's doing...the rest of course is all me. I don't think I'm a real "hoarder" but I do have a hard time getting rid of things sometimes. I mean really. How many spatulas do I need in my kitchen...I think I have 5. By the end of today I'm determined to only have 1.

Chris and I have decided to live more simply, and considering we're probably going to move 100 times over the next 10 years (maybe not that much, but we do anticipate a few moves) we really want to cut down on all the stuff we don't need/use.

I went to a class by a couple of professional organizers who said that we use 20% of our stuff 80% of the time. I feel like I've been sucked into the consumerist vortex! Let the purging begin!

It's January?!

2010-01-17T00:23:00.000-08:00

This is mostly the Hallie Chronicles, I know, but she's cuter than me and Chris so be glad she's the star of this post.

Hallie made a good haul this Christmas. Though I'd have to say that her favorite thing has been those snowman pj's. She hardly ever takes them off!

One of the best parts of this year's Christmas holiday was getting to know Chris' new niece, Emery. Hallie was in LOVE with that baby!

Hallie's Birthday is the 26th, so we decided to celebrate by pretending it's spring. This year we did a bug themed birthday party. Complete with edible grasshopper, ladybugs, bumble bees, butterflies, and (of course) ants on a log!

Hallie also had fun learning about Santa Clause, just in time for the holidays.

Projects Part I: "The Crusier"

2009-11-17T07:21:00.000-08:00

It's done!!! Okay so not quite. My bike still needs a few new nuts and blots, new handle grips, and maybe even a basket to finish it off....but for the most part it's done.

At the start of September I started working on a 1958(ish) Schwinn Hollywood bicycle that belonged to my friend Marjorie (I should post more on her later...) anyway, I didn't get a good 'before' shot (the first picture is the same model...just to give you an idea...only imagine it dirtier, super rusted out, and covered in cobwebs.)

Tadaaa!

I yam what I yam!

2009-11-14T16:07:00.000-08:00

If there's anything that Chris and I love more than a good yam; it's a good yam in the shape of one of our internal organs! I loved that yam.

Speaking of autumnal vegetables...we carved pumpkins! On the 6th of November. We got a little busy before Halloween and just didn't get around to it. Hallie was very unimpressed with the innards, and even looks like she might hurl just looking at them. She liked it being on her arm even less; I'm pretty sure she started crying right after these pictures were taken.

Hallieween

2009-11-04T21:01:00.001-08:00

Hallie loves her monkey costume from Halloween and insists she wear it every time she sees it; as a result it spends most of its time hidden in the back of her closet. She was very pleased with it and learned just in time to say trick-or-treat. At one of the first houses we went to Hallie knocked, said her "trickatreat" and the lady held out a bowl of candy for her to choose one; not being very experienced at this point, Hallie reached into her bag, pulled out a candy, and put it in the bowl! After letting her eat some of the candy she'd collected, however, this did not happen again.

Pre and post-candy faces. (Note the much happier post-candy face)

Hallie loved showing off her tail to everyone!

While Hallie's costume was pretty obvious mine was, apparently, not so much. 10 points to anyone who can guess correctly...here are some of the clues taken from guesses I got that night...

A. Miss Hannigan

B. Mae West

C. Madame Medusa

D. A woman posing as drag queen....long story

If you guessed C. Madame Medusa, then you're right, and this is why we're friends! There were several people who just haven't even seen that movie (The Rescuers) which is really tragic. Medusa is my very favorite Disney villain. "Madame Medusa's Pawnshop Boutique!" Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the classic Medusa pose; removing the eyelashes!!!

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween, filled with lots of diamonds...I mean candy!

Favorite Things

2009-10-25T20:09:00.000-07:00

A few random pictures of some of the things Hallie likes.
Pockets, gloves, hats, and clothing in general.
ICE and GRANDMA! There was a period of time when Hallie would not go to bed without asking for an ice cube. She also really likes freezies, slurpees, and icecream!

Cameras. Hallie figured out how to turn on and use the camera the other day, we ended up with about a dozen pictures like this- thank goodness for the digital!Dresses! I was making this dress, and although it's about 2 sizes too big, she insisted on wearing it all day once it was done.

Water, water, water! Hallie would've played on this bridge forever had we let her. She's a really good little swimmer and love blowing bubbles in the water...she recently figured out how to blow bubbles in her chocolate milk (see video below.)
Music, playing with her friend Josh, and playing music with Josh (see video below.)

MESSES! After breakfast one morning I heard Hallie shouting from the kitchen, "Gicky, Gickeee!" She was indeed a "sticky" mess. Lucky for me she only dumped the syrup onto the plate, and a bit on her pjs. Hallie is a very proficient mess maker.

someone told me it's all happening at the zoo (and checking off #42)

2009-10-20T14:32:00.000-07:00

Last month Chris' sister, Sara, brought two of her kids and Mark for one of Benson's appointments in Salt Lake. Hallie and I decided it would be fun to take Taylee to the zoo while Benson was getting checked out. It was a great day for being outside, and the zoo had several new baby animals on display, as well as a really fun playground.

I think that drinking out of the lion's mouth was the girl's favorite thing about the zoo. There are several fountains around the zoo and we were sure to get a drink from each one...several times.

The playground was full of really cool animal stuff...the bug was my favorite.

Hallie, a gorilla, and a cookie. Life is good.

Hallie's excitement for the baby elephant is almost tangible in this picture. It was more fun watching the animals than taking pictures.

Swingin' Good Times

2009-09-11T15:17:00.000-07:00

I like swings. Hallie likes swings. Sadly, for me, there are only Hallie sized swings at this park.

Snip Snip!

2009-09-11T14:37:00.000-07:00

I really should have taken a "before and after" shot, but anyway, I trimmed Hallie's bangs for the first time a few weeks ago. Kinda scruffy looking here-then again, that's pretty normal for Hallie. Oh well. She seemed pleased enough with it.

Thanksgiving point

2009-08-30T09:54:00.000-07:00

Last Tuesday was a fun day! Thanksgiving Point has $2 Tuesday for some of their attractions during the month of August so we decided to go to the "Farm Country" and the dinosaur museum (apparently the world's largest.) The whole place was packed with kids, strollers, frazzled parents, dinosaur remains, and other petrified items. Needless to say we didn't spend as much time at the museum as we'd have liked...maybe we'll go back on a quieter day sometime. Hallie loved the farm and seemed very pleased when she got to pet and then ride a real horse!

Jail time with Dad, down by the farm...probably caught creating a stir over at "Miss Kitty's Dance Hall!"

There were 5 other small ponies going around the pen and Hallie, the smallest child there, rode the biggest horse. She enjoyed it all the same.

Hallie was very sad when the horse ride ended or maybe it was the fact that I let go of her to try and get a good picture of her alone on the horse...probably the latter. There were some really cool displays at the museum, but Hallie really didn't care to be still long enough to be in a good picture with any of them, these are the best shots we got. She wasn't even concerned by the fact that a giant great white shark was about to eat her and her dad!

Glam Girl

2009-08-09T11:50:00.001-07:00

Hallie LOVES to dress up, play with make-up, and do her hair. She gets into my make-up on a regular basis and is always finding headbands and hats to put on. Any little bottle that she finds becomes pretend hair mousse, or nail polish, or lotion; if I'm using any of the above for real, Hallie is right there wanting to use some of her own.

Her favorite hats seem to be her bathing suit. I like the blue one best!

She also has a big shoe fetish and loves putting on, and walking in, EVERY pair of shoes she comes across. She figured out how to put her boots on by herself and would not take them off; she also gets very stubborn about wanting to wear her jackets even when it's 30 degrees outside!

2009-08-09T11:39:00.000-07:00

Hallie and I went to Provo Canyon Park with Caitlin and Grant for FHE one night in July. We were sad that there was no water to play in, as there was in the spring, but enjoyed the mountain grandeur.

Yum

2009-07-17T08:57:00.000-07:00

Hey Hallie, do you like icecream?
We'll go with a resounding YES!
We stopped at Arctic Circle on the way to Canada, and Hallie got a free kids cone. She was very pleased!

Rock Canyon

2009-05-12T08:16:00.000-07:00

Chris got a day off school last week and it was gorgeous outside, so we decided it would be fun to go up to Rock Canyon. We stayed near the base and played by the creek most of the time, which Hallie really enjoyed. Hopefully we'll get some time later this summer to go hiking there.

Cheerio

2009-05-06T16:40:00.000-07:00

Hallie's been really funny about what she'll eat lately. Last night I tried giving her pasta soup (which she used to like) but it was a no go. So I put another bowl on the tray; pork'n beans (she used to like these as well). I think she took one bite. Fine, Cheerios for the 3rd meal in a row. She happily began to eat, and at some point when I wasn't looking she stacked the bowls so her cereal was on top! At least she's addicted to Cheerios & Raisin Bran, not Froot Loops & Lucky Charms.

HOORAY for green grass and no-coat-weather!

2009-05-04T12:22:00.001-07:00

The other day I discovered that our apartment complex has a little fenced in patch of grass. I'm not really sure who was more excited about it, me or Hallie, but we had some fun and look forward to spending more time outside these days!

Most of the shots I got were blurred from Hallie running around so fast.

She did, however, stop long enough at one point to flap her arms and watch while an airplane flew overhead.

I wanted to get a picture at Hallie's level so I got down on the grass and Hallie immediately came running over a sat on me...maybe hoping for a horseback ride? Sorry kid, that's Daddy's job.

Just being cute...it's what Hallie's do best!

It was great fun to explore new things. She even tried tasting the rock she found...it got chucked on the ground about 1 second after the camera flashed. Hallie, apparently, is not partial to rock cuisine...go figure.

Home

2009-05-02T20:23:00.000-07:00

During our whirlwind trip home, the many good intentions of picture taking were forgotten, and the only pictures on our camera were of the drive home.

Hallie enjoyed her treats from Aunt Jana, during the drive, and I was very grateful for the entertainment and distraction they provided!

Back to Blogging

2009-05-02T20:15:00.000-07:00

We're back! I've given the blog some much needed sprucing up; and, in spite of our lives not being brilliantly exciting, we'll be trying to post more frequent updates so you all know what the Bissetts have been up to.

2008-09-30T19:49:00.000-07:00

Chris reading Hallie a bedtime story...I believe it was "Baby Costumes," trying to decide what she will be for Halloween. Actually, she just gets über excited to see babies! Hallie has recently been "reading" books by herself by pointing at things (like we do when reading together) and whispering "tah tah." Grown-up girl all ready for church!

The flower clip made it through the first hour, which I was very impressed with!
Hallie's close-up.

2008-09-08T18:40:00.000-07:00

I just really like Hallie's face here.

Hallie has become quite mobile; crawling, pulling up, and though neither of these pictures show it, she's been standing without holding onto anything! She's growing up way too fast and I'm sure we won't be keeping up with her for long!

Hallie Joy: The Musical!

2008-09-08T18:25:00.000-07:00

We love music. Hallie seems to be enthralled by it. She very much likes to hum along when I sing lullabies (if she's not too sleepy) and has been exploring the guitar and piano as well. I'm sure as soon as she figures out how to blow into her daddy's recorder instead of just slobber on it, she will master that instrument too!

She's really quite funny to watch as she will stand there picking at all the strings for quite some time, occasionally humming along with whatever she's playing. I'm sure she'll be writing hits before long...

Put your finger tips together...

2008-07-09T13:15:00.000-07:00

Hallie tries to sign "more" while she's eating, she mostly just claps her hands, but she's managed to get her fingers together for it a couple of times.

Food! Glorious Food!

2008-07-09T13:03:00.000-07:00

Hallie like her food. She just got a high chair so she can now sit up to the table with us, but she likes it just as well in sitting a box...or with a fox, in a house, or with a mouse...

Chris was giving Hallie her first tastes of smoothie and she just about had a tantrum when she couldn't have more, which is saying something, because she rarely gets upset!

Fun-in-a-Box

2008-07-09T12:55:00.000-07:00

I've started packing some books and various things in preparation for moving. Hallie is a good helper. She sat quite happily in this box for some time, while I cleared the bookshelf. I've got a lot of good memories of playing with cardboard boxes, making forts, spaceships, pianos, bubble factories, etc. I'm sure Hallie with come to enjoy them as much as I did as a kid!

It's Quilt'n Time

2008-07-09T12:36:00.000-07:00

So I like to quilt. I didn't think I would, but the Magrath 6th ward ladies taught me how and it's great! This is one that I did for my nephew, Brigham Baril, and quite honestly it took a long time so I wanted to show it off, despite the rough edging...the red corners were supposed to look like stop signs...)

We Wish You a Merry Chris, And A Happy July 1st!

2008-06-29T17:19:00.001-07:00

Christopher and some friends from high school used to celebrate the 25th of June as the half way point to Christmas, a holiday which they liked to call "Merry Chris." (Not to be confused with my favorite self proclaimed holiday "Marry Chirs," which happens to be on the 28th of December.) Merry Chris is a day to renew the festive spirit of Christmas and, more importantly, an opportunity to brush up on one's gingerbread house building skills...some of us need it more than others as you may see from my "artistic endeavor."

2008-06-29T16:29:00.000-07:00

Spencer was pretty happy about his red tree!

...I was going for Picasso...

Chris was REALLY excited to make gingerbread houses!

Mandy's Whooville House

Even Peeve caught the Merry Chris spirit

Hallie, the cutest of Santa's reindeer!

Yoohooo It's Picture Time!

2008-06-19T10:27:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally convinced Chris to go and get pictures taken! The results will be posted soon, in the mean you can see a couple on our photographer's blog. http://jillalston.blogsome.com/
She did a marvelous job...but with such a great subject, ie Hallie, how could she not!

Welcome to The Crib!

2008-06-07T21:32:00.000-07:00

Hallie has quickly out grown the cradle, lucky for us, cousin Tristan got his new bed the other day so Hallie is borrowing his crib until we move. She seems to thoroughly enjoy turning over and moving around as she pleases.

Sittin' Pretty!

2008-06-07T21:20:00.000-07:00

Hallie is getting really good at sitting on her own and seems to really enjoy it. She also enjoys sucking on her bottom lip all the time...I think it's a teething thing.

...Hip-Hurray for moving...

HURRAY! Chris has been accepted for the fall semester at BYU. We were pretty excited to get the news on Monday; Hallie laughed for about 2 minutes straight at Chris' happy dance! We're definitely looking forward to seeing much more of all the Utah cousins, and being close to Caitlin & Grant, as well as seeing what kinds of opportuinties arise for us. It will be an exciting new adventure, despite my serious dislike for moving!

First Trip To Waterton!

Last Monday we took Hallie on her first Waterton excursion. Almost all the trails are still snowy, so we walked around Cameron Falls, and enjoyed the town site instead of going on a hike. It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine a warm weather in spite of all the snow!

A Killer Starfish

Hallie enjoys chewing on her fingers and toes these days, but before she really managed to get them to her mouth every time she would get her hand "stuck" to her face. She'd try and get a thumb, but would freak out because she couldn't get this "thing" off her face. It often made me think of what a vicious starfish attack would be like!

Another One!

The Bissett family has now joined the billions of blissful bloggers so that you can become bedazzled by all the bamboozeling balderdash happening in the Bissett barracks (much of which will be devoted to Hallie, as she seems to be our main attraction)!
