My Haley Baby turns 9!

Why do my children have to get older? Why can't they stay this small and cute forever?

My Haley turned 9 on Feb. 13th. I can't believe she's been on this earth almost a decade! Haley is a very helpful, sweet, and reliable girl. She has been an enormous help since Alina was born. I can count on Haley to feed her a bottle or calm her down when she's fussy. She's such a great little mom. Although, she drives her brothers crazy when she tries to be the mom where they're concerned ("Nate, please come put your boots away.") I'm grateful she's in our family.


These two pictures where taken on Haley's actual birthday. The girls were dressed for church and one of the boys mentioned that they were dressed similarly, so of course we had to take a picture!


We had Haley's birthday party on the Saturday after her birthday. We had her party at the Rochester Athletic Club just like Andy. It was such a help for me to have it there since Alina is under 2 months old. Haley wanted a cookie birthday cake. This was what she picked out at Sam's Club. I thought it was kind of cheesy, but she wanted the one with the most frosting on top. She LOVES frosting!

We requested to have Nikki again, since she had done such a great job with Andy's party. She had a lot of fun games planned for the girls. She came up to me afterward and said that we had the nicest kids that she had seen in her two years doing birthday parties. We do have nice kids.

Wow! Time sure has flown by! The girls look beautiful.
Jason and I had a chance to chat with your in-laws last weekend. They came to our stake to speak for our women's conference. They did a great job.
I hope you're all doing well!
