>District Pastor’s Conference.

The entire Hale family went to the Nebraska District Pastor’s Conference this weekend. Even though there was a very interesting speaker this year, I think Phil only goes for the food. He and Randall take these conferences very seriously….
Randall’s serious “Rat Face”.
Lily spent the entire weekend on the floor halfway under our table learning a lot about the two kinds of righteousness.
We stayed at Randall and Christi’s house so Lily, Audrey and Ian got to spend some down time together between sessions. Lily and Ian did some Tummy Time together.
She really impressed him with her rattle shaking abilities.
I think she’s the same size as Audrey who just turned two…. is that ok?

There’s nothing like a Nebraska football game or I should say there’s nothing like Nebraska football fans. Phil and I have never seen anything like it. We went to the Nebraska vs. Baylor game last Saturday, what an experience! The whole of downtown Lincoln was transformed into the Red Sea. Thousands of people in red making there way to the stadium. Those not headed inside were gathering outside to tailgate like I’ve never seen tailgating. These people take game day very seriously to say the least, and this was just for the Baylor game. I can’t imagine what this place must have been like during the “glory days”. Maybe we’ll see those days again. “That Bo Palini is really turning things around!” right Wes?

I don’t feel the need to comment on this picture. Yes, that’s a television in the side of a trailer. I think that speaks for itself.

Massive tailgate party #1. We passed several of these affairs.


This isn’t Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Phil is in a Nebraska sweatshirt and really did go to the game. I didn’t superimpose him into this shot. In fact he’d just had a delicious game day hot dog even though it was only 10:30 in the morning and was very satisfied.

This is me in my Nebraska sweatshirt after and during my delicious game day hot dog.



It’s easy to miss, but note the amount of RED in the stands. The red balloons are released after the first touchdown, it’s really quite a sight! Also a sight was the entire stadium doing the wave… two times!

Here are the adorable love birds in their matching sweatshirts. (I promise I only ate one hot dog, not the entire hot dog stand!)

We put Lily in her entertainment center for the first time last week. She mostly just drools on everything, but seems to have a great time doing it. (sorry for the sideways filming, I guess I was trying to be “artsy”.)

>One Year!

Today Phil and I celebrate our one year anniversary! It’s been some year!

Aunt Jan sent a special gift for Lily to wear on this big day, a paper hair net for year #1, fashionably reworked into an adorable bow. Almost as cute a look as what Jan sported a year ago while slaving to make the yummiest bride’s and groom’s cakes I’ve ever eaten! Thank you Janis!
