Haley is 1, yeah!!!

I finally got 5 seconds to sit down and update about Haley's birthday, it's only been a week, oops!! The girls have had a continuous cold that just keeps rotating through, and it is getting really annoying, and of course it's only a virus, so they won't give me any antibiotics to help clear it up! So needless to say, Haley really wasn't all that happy on her birthday, but it was still a fun day anyway. We had the McIntyre's over for lunch, since both dad's had to work in the evening, and we had lot's of fun eating and playing. Poor Haley was miserable, so she ate her lunch, opened her presents, took a couple of bites of cake, and went down for a nap, and the rest of us finished her party for her. After she woke up, she was feeling a little better, so Jen and I decided to take the kids down to Anthem, about an hour away, and we went to the outlets, then we went to this really fun park and fed the ducks, had a picnic, and played until dark, then we headed home, we really did have lot's of fun. Haley loved the park, she loves to climb on things, and by the time we left she had climbed up the slide (the slick part), at least 4 or 5 times all by herself! Even Kyla and Joseph tried it and they couldn't do it, she is the most determined child!! She has been a lot of fun and really challenging at the same time this last year, she has started coming up to me and she wants me to hold her and she'll put her arms around my neck and give me a big hug and kiss, she puckers up and everything, it's the cutest thing ever. One minute she's the sweetest thing ever and the next minute she makes you want to scream, we love her very much and can't wait to see what this next year brings!! Oh yeah, before I forget, I took her in for her one year old check up a few days ago, and she weighs a whopping 16 1/2 pounds!! I was really hoping for at least 17, but she is also 29 inches, which puts her in the 50% for her height and the 0% for her weight! She just never stops moving, and burns off every calorie she puts in her mouth, which is a lot!! You should see this girl eat, sometimes she will out eat me at a meal, the other day we had pizza, and she ate 2 adult size slices, I just don't get how she doesn't weigh 50lbs. I guess she'll be happy when she's older!
