I guess it has been almost a year since my last post. Wow the time did fly. So I thought I would give an update since our little girl in now 16 months old!! We are still in Colorado and Kellen is still working for the pest control company. Hailey and I spend a lot of time together and she is loving the summer. She loves running around outside and looking at the bunnies that live wild around our apartment. She also loves playing out on the deck. She sits in her princess lawn chair and eats her snacks or helps me water the tomato plant with water from her little pool. We live right by the club house and she is always waving at the staff and maintenance people. She is just starting to talk and can say, "Dad," "Mom," "go," "up," "all done," "dog," "cat," "no," and a few more. She also is very smart and knows what most animals say or do. Her favorite is elephant and she puts her arm up by her head and makes an elephant noise. It is funny because we ask her what a bunny says and she sniffs her nose.
She is not too much of a troublemaker yet, but I always know when she is doing something she isn't supposed to because she is saying "no, no" and shaking her head while she is doing it. Hailey is still a tall and skinny thing, barely weighing in at 20 pounds. But anyone that knows her knows that she NEVER stops moving and burns more calories in a day than a normal person would in a month! I have lost 15 pounds since she started walking! Not bad I suppose, but I am exhausted by the time she goes to bed at night.
Well, enough about Hailey for now! Kellen and I are doing the same old thing again this summer and when you get a kid, basically your whole life revolves around what they are doing. I did get a new sewing machine and am attempting a few basic projects. And I mean really basic. I don't have that Grandma Jones talent for sewing! So that is about all for now!!!

Michelle!!! It was so great to hear from you and see pictures of Hailey...holy cow, she's a little girl now and not a baby. No lie, my first though when looking at the pictures was "Kellen has hair!" =)
Hooray!! I had pretty much given up on your blog, Michelle. :) That little Hailey is so cute! I bet she's so much fun. We have a little 4 month old now! And yes, our lives pretty much revolve around her. I'm glad you guys are doing good. You should post more often! :)
