In the last month...

Hailey turned 15 months on the 19th. I can't believe how fast she is growing! Well, not really growing. She's still tiny! Her feet haven't grown at all. It's amazing she can even walk on them. Madi calls her 'Little Foot'. She's still in an infant car seat, too. By this time Addison was in a forward-faccing seat, and was wearing 18 month clothes. She had lots more hair than Hailey too. It's interesting to me how different my girls are!

For the most part, Hailey is in a fun stage. I'm really looking forward to April though, so that she can finally go to Nursery...she's so hard at church! She is stubborn and wants her way, which is never to sit still and be quiet.

Hailey loves to point at things, and can say please. She points at what she wants, and says, "pwease". She can also say thanks. It seems like she is learning more and more words every day, or at least attempting to.






Hailey has a silly little smile, and goofy sense of humor. She loves to make people laugh, and has a way of teasing people..sometimes to the extreme, but mostly just likes to make them laugh.



Hailey loves her Momma. She won't ever leave my side. Most of the time I find myself annoyed by my little sidekick, but I am realizing more and more that I need to enjoy every moment of her loving me. She is a sweet baby, and soon won't want to have anything to do with me..so, I'm trying to love every moment.


About two weeks ago, before I put the girls in the tub, Hailey grabbed the potty seat, and said, "pwease." So, I put her up on the toilet to humor her, and to my suprise, she pooped. Since then she has gone potty twice on the toilet, and tries almost every day to squeeze poop out. It seems like she'll be much easier to potty train than Addison was.




Addison and Hailey play pretty well together, until Hailey ends up hurting Addison, or Addi takes something Hailey was playing with, but generally, they are good buddies!!

New Years

We had a fun New Years Eve day, goofing around. We played with Trav's helicopter, took pictures of each other, watch the Utes pull off a win, and I got to visit with Trav's family at a Gal Gathering. Our fun day was capped off with an even better night! We ate and ate and ate the yummiest cheese and chocolate fondues with all the delicious things to dip in them. We also had sweet and sour meatballs, and little smokies wrapped in bacon...YUM! Then we watch Zookeeper, a funny little movie. After that, we played the XBox Kinnect and laughed and laughed!














2011 was fun year. It went by far too quickly, but we enjoyed every minute of it! Happy New Year, everyone!

Christmas Evening

After a long day of festivities, we headed to Grandma Jer's for a Christmas Pajama Party. We had a blast opening even more presents and eating even more delicious food! Hailey got a baby doll and stroller. As soon as Travis got it out of the box she was in love! She gave it huge hugs and squealed in delight! Addi got more play dough, cute clothes, and of course books! We sure do have the best family! It was a fabulous day!!







Christmas Afternoon

After church, we headed to Grandpa Greg and Marty's house. We had a yummy lunch, and then started with a song that Addison had been working hard on. She learned all the words to Silent Night, and we preformed it with Janelle's adorable Nativity people. Travis and Hailey were asleep, but the anxious kiddos couldn't wait so we went on without them.

These kids got spoiled again, and it was fun to watch them! We had an awesome afternoon hanging out and laughing together!








Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was very fun. Santa visited, and this is the scene he left behind.


We ate cinnamon rolls in Mom and Dad's room while we waited for the grandparents to get here. The girls were really patient. Their Dad on the other hand wasn't. He kept saying, "When are they coming?"


Addison asked Santa for a a bike and a sled. He pulled through for her, and she was so excited!



He brought her a pin wheel in her stocking..fun!


Hailey loved the zoo Santa brought...well, she loved to sit on it!


As Addi kept opening presents, Hailey just wanted to eat the M&Ms that Santa brought in the stockings. The M&Ms and Addison's bike were Hailey's favorite things of the day for sure! I especially love the chocolate face trying to get on Addi's bike!


Addison got princess dress-ups from Mom and Dad - four of them, Cinderella, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and Tiana. She is a new princess every minute of every day! It's pretty cute!!


After presents, we headed to church. My girls were beautiful in their matching dresses from Grandma Jer. These pictures should have been an indication on how things would go at church. It wasn't pretty, but their dresses were!
