Happy Birthday Haylee!!

Wow. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. 5 years ago (also on a Friday the 13th) my beautiful little girl came into this world. She was 6 weeks early and already asserting her independence. For 2 weeks she stayed in the NICU as she learned to fight for what she wanted. Now she fights with her siblings all the time. :) Haylee is the sweetest little girl. She always wants to help me in the kitchen and is such a good big sister. She has always been very empathetic with others. If you cry she will cry. It doesn't matter what you are crying about she will be there to cry with you. She became grandpa's girl during the 10 months that we lived with my parents while Dustin was in the Academy. As the first grandaughter on both sides she is still grandpa's girl. Haylee loves to read books, and play with her friends. She doesn't like chicken enchiladas, spiders, or dogs. (If you have met our dog no explanation needed. He is as big as her.)
Haylee you are my little bug and I love you so much!!! Happy 5th Birthday.



Haylee with her hat from preschool.


The theme for her birthday was a Hawaiian Luau in February.
This is her beach party cake.


She had friends over for a party and played Chicken Limbo and had Hawaiian pizza and slushies to eat.


She got some great stuff. Thanks so much to all her friends (and their mothers!! Angie I can't believe what a cute apron you made and Tosha she loves the tutu... but so does Kenzie)


Haylee wanted a Wii game that she could play so she got the Disney Princess game.


She now has all the fairies from the Tinkerbell movie.


Yay a Barbie to swim in the tub with her.


And last but not least finally mom and dad got her a bike!

and of course Jayce is making sure she gets all the candles out with one blow.
