Getting Started

We finally decided to jump on the band wagon and join everybody else doing blogs. We'll give it a try and see how long I can keep it up for. Well, let's just start with a little update on where we're at. We are finally settled in Dewey, AZ. (A little town just outside of Prescott.) We absolutley love it here, especially the weather. It's the middle of February and we've already had 3 or 4 picnics on our back porch and at the park. This is quite the change from North Dakota, where we spent the previous two winters. Jared loves his job and he is just working on getting certified right now. I (Melissa) am just busy at home with the two little girls and church callings. Kyla Kay will be 3 in April, and she is really getting to a fun age, she loves to sing and dance for us, and she is constantly coming up with interesting things to ask us, her new favorite movie is the Little Mermaid, and she can almost quote it word for word, (which also means the rest of us can quote it as well!!) She loves being a big sister and helping out whenever she can. Now there's Haley..., she is 9 1/2 months old, and she is the most active child I have ever seen, she wears me out!! She has been crawling since she was 5 months old and she has been trying to walk for the past month and a half, but she can crawl so fast that she hasn't been too interested in really taking steps. She only stands up to be able to reach things she's not supposed to. She is also the happiest little girl, and she loves everybody, a complete opposite from Kyla. Her and Kyla have finally really started to play together and it is really fun to watch them interact. They love to go outside and play on the trampoline and they love to play with our dog Turbo, (Kyla named him). Well, so far we are doing really good down here and we love the area. We'll keep you posted on anything coming up.
