Hailey doesn't have a tumor!

Just in case you were wondering....There are no tumors! What's that all about? The Family (except our little 20/20 Jake) all had eye appointments this week. Dan new pair of glasses that he never wears, myself, stronger contact perscription to try and correct my crazy eye, Hannah, stronger lenses to help her eyes (shel definately Not "Legally Blonde," she's legally blind, and then there is sweet little Hailey. I wanted to have her eyes checked just to make sure her eyes were developing normally. I snuck an appointment in with Dr. Ackerson (Dan's old dorm roomie from College) just to be safe. I didn't want her to go for the first 5 years fo her life like poor Hannah Bug did....Blind as a Bat and we had no clue! Anyway, long story short she's just fine and she doesn't have a tumor! I guess the Dr. could tell by looking "into" her eyes. It's really quite amazing! One thing I learned today...dilating a baby's eyes and trying to look at them don't mix. Needless to say she does NOT like Dr. Ackerson!!!!

Movie Day!

Today is a movie day for me! Hurray! Daniel took the day off and just left for Provo with Jake in tow. Hannah is at school and Hailey is down for a nap. I waited up until 12 midnight last night waiting for "I am Legend" to come out, I never had the chance to see it in the theater (who does with 3 kids) then I realized how stupid it sounded to be waiting outside McDonalds at the Red Box, in the cold, waiting for a movie to be released. Can we say "GET A LIFE!"
Anywho....Daniel stopped and got it for me! What a great guy! I'm an action packed kind of gal, I don't care for comedy, and I'm not super crazy about the happily-ever-after, cheezy movies. I want to see real life stories, ya know like Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom....I can relate to that! Love that show! I'm just a mom trying my hardest to stay afloat while drowning in a bowl of soggy half eaten cheerios! But on the other hand, who isn't?

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. -- Dickens

It's just not right looking at snow through a window with Easter Bunnies plastered on them!

Welcome to a March afternoon in Heber City! 2 days ago Hannah and I were out riding bikes, the sun was shinning and I was beginning to make the "outside" spring cleaning list. Our yard is a mess. We had one too many newspapers shot through the snowblower, and I was getting excited to be outside. It's been a long cold winter. Yesterday I awoke to this! Will the snow ever end?

It's just not fair!

My little chunker Hailey is such a good baby. She is happy, healthy and a delight to care for. Recently she has begun babbling, of course she is loudest during the most inconvient times...at the movies, during meetings and she is especially loudest during Sunday School.
"Oh what a cute baby," everyone says. It's true, she is an adorable baby, what mother doesn't say that? However, it's not fair. When you see these huge chunky thighs on this little girl of mine I hear comments like, "Ohhhhh I just want to squeeze those chunky legs." Well this baby totally takes after her momma, thunder tighs and cankles. No one ever says to me, "Look at your chunky thighs Melissa, they are so cute. I just want to pinch them!" Why doesn't anyone think my thighs and my cankles are cute. They are just as chunky as Haileys....it just not fair!

Jake and His Prophet

Jake and His Prophet

Jake and I went on a date a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday Night. We were shopping at a bunch of different stores in Provo, things I wanted to do but can't with the whole family, Jake and I ended up at the Distribution Center in Orem. While we were looking around, Jake found a picture of President Gordon B Hinckley, our beloved Prophet. Our conversation went like this,

"Mom, can I have a picture of President Henkwey?"
"Why do you want a picture of President Hinckley?"
"Because he died and I want to remember him."

What a precious little guy Jake is. The next day we took his new picture and hung it up where he wanted it to be, by his bed so he could remember him every night. For the past 2 weeks every time Jake prays he says, "Bwess President Henkwey because he died and went to heaven to be with Jesus and Heavenwy Father." He can be such a sweet boy!

Bad Hair Days

Hailey

She's Gettin' Crafty

I made this cute bag for Hannah yesterday for her church stuff. I'm so proud of myself. I gave it to her and she showed me that she decorated it.




She is so creative and descrutive.
