Not much has been going on the last week, except this miserably cold weather! It even snowed this past weekend! 
The highlights of the week were:
Kevin got his knee checked again- after deciding we would wait it out for 2 more weeks before opting surgery, Kevin had his 3rd x-ray and the bones have gotten closer together. Now he can put weight on it, but still can't bend it until another X-ray in 3 more weeks. I guess like Kevin said it's better to try everything else before just rushing to get knee surgery!

One thing I feel guilty about is not getting the one on one time with Hailey that I did with Scott. About 2 months ago I started a trade with a friend in my neighborhood. Every Wednesday I drop Scott off at her house or she drops her son at my house for 2 hours. (we switch off) Our boys are only a week apart and they look forward to seeing eachother each week, plus us moms get to spend time with our babies running errands or whatever! I love it!
Kevin's brother Carson and his wife Lana came into town over the weekend, but unfortunately there wasn't much to do with the snowy weather and Kevin still in crutches. We watched movies and let the kids play. Here's Amanda and Hailey doubling up on the four wheeler. 
Finally I got a decent picture to show what Scott does at least once a week. He grabs these ties from his room and puts one on himself and one on Hailey. It's too funny watching them wear them around the house all day....and Hailey doesn't seem to mind. She's just glad she's on Scott's good side for that particular day! In all fairness though, Scott has been a pretty nice big brother. He has his moments, but I started to notice this week that he defends her big time if others aren't nice or aren't sharing with her. He gets mad and says, "That's my baby sister-be nice!" It's too cute.
I can't believe we got yet another climber! Hailey climbs into and up everything and she even pulls out drawers now to use them as steps.
Although Scott and Hailey have their differences, their behaviors are sooooo alike! I noticed this when Hailey was only a few months old and it got me looking at kid astrology just for fun since they are both Sagittarius. Here's the link to one I liked. It said:
Sagittarius Nov. 23rd to Dec. 21st-Fire
The sagittarian children are gregarious and are seldom alone as they enjoy a great measure of popularity. This popularity is usually keyed to his or her athletic or sporting abilities. these children are great lovers of the outdoors and must be pushed and guided to get even their homework finished.
He or she must be taught early that life is not all fun and games and everything cannot be rearranged just to suit him or her. The parent should try to instill a more serious and giving side to the nature so that he or she will be likely to achieve their goals and dreams once they are adults.
They value their freedom above all else and rules, to them, were only made to be broken. Rebellion and aggressiveness are also a large part of their makeup when faced with opposition from any quarter and so they will need a kind, but definitely firm hand in the early years. Discipline will be hard with this one but flattery, persuasion,and firmness will work wonders when actual force fails to do the trick.
Broken bones may be about the only serious childhood illnesses that will afflict this active little person as they tend to be particularly healthy specimens.

Scott looks a little tired in the above picture, but at least he wasn't covering his eyes like he has been! It's fun to see them side by side. Their eye shapes are so different! Scott has Kevin's, and Hailey has mine.
