Hailee has spent a lot of time chatting with real and pretend people on the phone. She is lucky to have enough options available to call, that she normally converses with a Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, or Uncle. Below is a conversation she had with her Aunt Cathy. She is having full out conversations now, which is completely heartbreaking!!! She tells people she is doing "good" and that she is "one." She also tells them about her movies, lunch, and games she is playing. I love that she is learning so much and is such a smartie, but I HATE that she is growing up!!!
She is also catching on to everyday tasks. She'll pick up the broom and get out rags when I am cleaning and start to help out. She also loves to help make dinner, cookies, and snacks! Below she got out a can of corn and the can opener, then she slid out her "table" (a bread drawer, we never use) and started making dinner.
The three of us (Curt, Hailee, and I) have spent a lot of quality time together. After going to my game and making a trip to Rexburg, we went for a ride and then sledding. It was a beautiful day! I love days where the world seems perfect, and I don't even think about the things that I should do, need to do, and forgot to do!!!
These pictures were taken right here on the farm.
We are so lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful scenery!
This experience was hillarious. We had riden up on top of the Butte on the farm. Curt and I kept falling right through the massive amount of fresh pouder. Hailee was like an energizer bunny. She got off the sled and started walking. I think she wanted to walk into the canal below or something. She walked FOREVER down this hill and Curt chased after her, which was difficult considering the snow. It was pretty funny watching her so determined to walk down the hill!
It was a great day with my very best friends. We had a blast!!!
These pictures were taken a while back. Hailee got a HUGE sticker book for Christmas. She got pretty overwhelmed by the idea of stickers. She loved them and all hated having to choose just one. She would pick one for you to take off and then change her mind. She wanted them to always go right back into their original spots. Well after spending an evening with her friend Berick, she learned that the stickers can be fun when they go all over your face. She came home and hasn't had too much of a problem since.

She got this shopping cart from Aunt Cindy for her birthday. Up until recently she thought of the thing as a recliner. She would crawl in and relax. A while ago I noticed her using it to push her babies around, and then I noticed she would pile it up with some real treasures. She loves her movies and now that they are more accessible she is constantly loading them up. She piles them high then tells us bye as she heads to leave!!! It cracks us up....
Within a matter of hours, she started with all of the regular flu symptoms (minus the fever). She never got a fever and we never got sick. This is why I rule out flu because there were a lot of people around, with a lot of chances to get sick!
