About Us

Hey everybody! We look forward to using this blog to share all of the Halbert's adventures with our family and friends. With the military moving us to Corpus Christi or where ever, we thought this was the perfect way to keep everyone upated on Jack and life in Texas.

Fall Festival!

We visited a local church that was having a Fall festival and had a great time! Jack loved walking around the pumpkin patch and seeing all the pumpkins. He was especially taken with the straw, love that straw!

Visit with Aunt Jenni

Jenni came in September on business and we were super lucky to have her at the house for a couple of days. Jack and Jenni are best buddies, ol' nose pickin' pals!
"Please don't go Jenni, I'll be so super sad!"
Jack pickin his way through lunch, he discovered his nose and was obsessed with it for 2 weeks, that's our boy.

Our trip to Austin

The family loaded up the Tahoe and headed North to Austin for the weekend. We went exploring, checked out the sights and ate great food. Can't wait to visit again! Here are a few pics of our adventures.


Jack and I at the Capitol building. "Hey Govenor Perry, Jack says tell Ol' President Obama we don't want no Obamacare!!!"



Jack's enjoying lunch at Hula's at Lake Austin, he's wondering why he's eating Puff's and mom and dad are eating delicious fish tacos.



Matt and Jack at the Oasis at Lake Travis, I guess you never outgrow the ol' bottle!

Has it been that long?

The last picture I posted of my Jackers was from Easter. . . hhhhmmmmm, ya, I have been putting it off for a long time. Sorry familia, did you want to see Jack beyond 5 months? Enjoy our growing boy! He is almost 10 months old so I have a lot of cathching up to do. Jack is pure joy and we could not ask for a happier baby! He has two teeth and one on the way, is a little over 21 lbs and crawling, low crawling I should say--he strives to remain tactical at all times, and loves to eat--his favorite meal right now is avacados and cereal. . . Ya, I know!

I'm what????

Yup, It's official. . . I'm 30!!!!!!!!!! Wwwoooooo Hhhoooooo!! Had a fantastic birthday thanks to all my friends and family! Thanks to all for your phone calls, cards and love!! Matt threw me a party this Saturday to celebrate such a monumental occasion. Had an awesome night with my friends! Thank you, Matt, for being so thoughtful, making tons of food and decorating the house. You're the best! The balloons really showcased your artistic ability! 30's here I come. . .

Go Blazers!!!


Representing for mommy, go VSU!!!!

Under the sea

Jack and I went to the Aquarium with our friends Marisa and Cody and we had a great time! Jack loved watching the fish swim in circles!

Grandma's visit

My mom came to visit while Matt was on a detachment for 2 weeks. We had such a fun time, filling our days with shopping, lunching, watching chick flicks and cooking. My mom could not get enough of Jack and he loved being with grandma! We miss you!!
