My Baby girl is 6

Haley is a beautiful, sweet girl. She is a daddy's girl no doubt. She looks forward to his coming home every day and always wants to talk to him on the phone. She is also definitely an oldest sister. I'm already having to remind her she's not the mom. She is extremely well behaved at school, her teacher has told me several times she wishes all her students were like Haley. She is very into doing what is right and will tell you EVERY little thing she does wrong. She likes to color and paint. She is in dance class and getting ready for her first recital. She has asked all the girls at school if they want to be her friend. She does well in school and loves to do her homework. We love having her around and I'm not looking forward to her being in school all day next year. It's going to be really hard.

Haley had her first "friend" birthday party this year.

We started by decorating some party bags.

We also had a big bounce house with a slide.

Kevin (who came home from work early for the party) played Simon Says and Duck Duck Goose with the girls.

Having birthday cake.

Opening her birthday presents. The friend who was giving her the present sat with her while she opened it. It helped to keep everyone from crowding too much.

Breaking open the pinata, this is why they decorated the bags. Uncle Dallin had fun making the pinata swing from the top. Notice, in the background, how huge the bounce house was.


On her actual birthday with her family presents.
Thanks to daddy for coming home early and providing entertainment, Aunt Melinda for helping to run the party and bringing Jenna and Lauri, and Uncle Dallin and Aunt Katie for being here and helping with the pinata.
