Happy 9th Birthday Haley!

Haley turned 9 on June 17th. I can't believe how old she is. I feel like she was just Whitney's age. She is one amazing girl. I'm not sure how I got picked to be the parent of such a great girl. I have always thought that Haley was an old soul. Since she was a small baby she seemed older than her age. Some think it is because she is surrounded by her older cousins but I think she was just born this way. She just finished a great year in third grade. She usually keeps her self busy playing the piano, doing gymnastics and playing with friends.

Two days after Haleys birthday she had and accident playing on the monkey bars at the park. She fell on her arm and broke it. So unfortunately most of the things she loves to do have been put on hold. She can however still play with friends and we have figured out a way for her to go swimming. She gets down sometimes because of her arm and the things she can't do. But she has amazed me at her bravery and her spirit to keep trying things that are hard for her to do. She usually insists on trying to do thing on her own. I'm not sure where she got that. I think she will always remember this summer. It will be a growing experience for both of us.

There are a lot of other great parts to Haley besides her broken arm. She is smart and whitty. She has a great since of fashion and can sing and play pretty songs on the piano. She has amazing eyes and a great smile. She has great faith in her Heavenly Father and a strong desire to choose the right. She is just an all around beautiful girl. We love her so much. She is an important part of our family.

You Go Girl! Love you Haley! YO!
