Thanksgiving!!!

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!! We spent the day in Utah County with my family, the Wilson's. We had a lot of fun. The greatest part was getting to my family what we are thankful for.
We let this picture of Hailey announce it to the Longenecker family! Yes, it is true. We are going to have a baby headed our way around May 31st.

Santa's Elbows

Two great stories in one:

Since time out, no toys, no treats, no Dora, or Mom is going to give your toys to some other little girl.... is not working out so well for us anymore, we have turned to Santa. (I really don't like Santa he takes all the credit but whatever.) We now remind Hailey that Santa's elves are watching to see if she is being good or bad and that they will let Santa know if she should get any presents for Christmas. This has worked pretty well until of course Christmas is over. Anyway, the other day Hailey was playing in her room while I was busy finishing some work in the living room. Of course it got quiet and that means trouble. She came out and poked her head around the corner and said, "Mom, ummm just so you know, Santa's elbows are not watching me right now, -k-." ( We have tried to tell her that the elves are like little people, Santa's helpers, but she tells us we are wrong and that no, it is his elbows that watch us.) Turns out Hailey had colored all over her body with markers. Then Hailey tells me, "Did you know Santa's elbows only watch me when I help clean up."

I Hate commercials!

Hailey has found out that her birthday is getting closer and is really really excited for it. The bad part- all of the sudden every commercial that comes one whether it is for a boy, girl, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, pets..... she says " I want that for my birthday." Yeah it was cute at first but she says it after every commercial. The best is when a commercial came on for dentures, you know the glue that keeps peoples dentures in yeah, she wants that for her birthday. Just putting some ideas out there!

Halloween

My cousin Crystal has the cutest little guy named Jonas. Hailey is so happy to have a cousin close by. Crystal and her family have been such a blessing to my family. She watches Hailey for us during the week and it has been amazing to see how happy Hailey has been since she has been able to go to their home while I work. Thank you so much Bradley's.
Hailey is almost 4 and yes she still holds grabs on to people's ears when she is tired.
Jonas and Hailey ready for fun!
Crystal, Hailey, and Jonas trick-or-treating down main street on Halloween Day. Hailey was a kangaroo and a butterfly this year she could not make up her mind.
