Haylee's Birthday.

I love this little girl...

Haylee's celebrates her 11th birthday. We had her party a few weeks early. Looking at the calendar for the month of Decemeber we realized we don't have a free weekend. Decemeber birthdays are hard. Haylee is so a minnie me. She is an event planner. She had a notebook of all her ideas for her party. I literally had to no planning at all. She planned for a Rock Star party. With coloring hair it temporary bright colors, and music notes hanging all over the house. She loves the fact that she can read music since she started playing the flute. She is still in the beginning stages but she is doing well with it. We had a fun night with her friends. I still can't believe she is 11 years old... Where does the time go.

she loves her "New Moon" cd she got from Shaila.. Thanks Shaila

Here they are outside piled on the swing with their colored hair and silly faces.The girls painted these cute ceramic cupcakes. This was a great quiet activity.. they came out so cute. You could almost eat them. We spray painted them with gold glitter. I'm so glad that Haylee has a great group of friends to play with. I love the fact that she is 11 and still loves to play. She loves barbie dolls, and toys.. As long as she loves and plays with them she can have them.

11 things I love about Haylee.

1. She is very independant

2. She goes after what she wants and stays focused.

3. She is quick learner

4. She keeps her room cleaned up without being asked.(most of the time)

5. She reminds me to say my prayers

6. She loves to play girls stuff and as well as dig in the dirt with her Dad.

7. She is doing great with her grades.

8. She follows me around the house hugging me from behind as I'm cleaning the house.

9. She loves to cuddle still.

10. I love to watch her twirl around the house doing her dance routines.

11. I love the she has her own personality and that she is funny, and silly and serious when she needs to be.

I love being her Mom.

Happy Birthday Honey !

Time sure flies when you are " Stressed" You thought I was going to say "when you are having fun" right? Well, yeah we are enjoying living even though these are stressfull times for our family. I'm just so happy that we could celebrate my "GUY'S" Bithday. Can you believe he is 45 years old. WOW, To think I met him when he was 15 years old. We have known each other for 30 years and have been married 21 years.. How amazing is that? The girls made thier Dad a happy birthday banner and hung it up on the railing ovre looking the entry way in our home. I took Mike out to dinner that night and when we walked in the door the girls poured little cut out hearts all over our heads and yelled " Happy Birthday" It was cute..

one of my favorite pictures of him. This is what we love to do when we go back home to California. We visit the beach and just sit and stare at the ocean. I miss my beaches... Here is mike today. Yeah, I can "clearly" see the handsome grey hairs all around. Thankgoodness I'm going to Cosmetology school. I was able to color the grey right out. He was also pampered with a manicure and a pedicure from me as well. " he was pampered"

My sisters Allison and Carla and thier hubby's and all the kids went to the Bass Pro Shop for dinner. It was fun all going together. We spent a few hours in the store. There is so much to look at....

I can't wait to spend many more years with my best friend as we move into the different phases of our lives...
