HAILEY TURNS 1!!!

Hailey on her 1st birthday!




We can't even believe our little girl is 1!
As Sean said, "We'd like to say this past year has been smooth sailing, but...!"
This little child has changed our lives so much (for the better). My mother-in-law once told me never to pray for patience, because the Lord just might answer you. Well, I didn't listen, and along came Hailey!!! Wow, does He ever have a way of teaching patience. Anyone who says God doesn't have a sense of humor needs to give me a call!!!

Anyways, even with a little string hanging out of her nose, (that's for her dilation!),
she's still the cutest little thing ever!


I actually had to get a friend to babysit Hailey because Lexi wanted to pick out a present, but "didn't want Hailey to see it!"


Lexi just couldn't wait to give Hailey the gift she picked out!
(She also couldn't wait to open it for her!)

She LOVED the Glow Worm Lexi picked out. The flashlight was supposed to be from Sean and me, but somewhere along the line, Lexi snuck it into her bag!

Lexi, so kindly, shows Hailey how to make the Glow Worm glow!

Hailey's had enough and wants her toys back!

As you can see by the look on her face,
she reeeeeeally liked the gift from Grammies & Grampies!
I just had to get a close-up!

Yep, the family picture!
I don't know how people do it! We tried for seriously 15 minutes to get us all looking at the same time! Finally, I realized that it was time to accept the fact that our family just isn't like that!! (Just check out the picture at the top of our blog!) I guess, as long as we can get 75% of the family at least looking at the camera, it's a keeper!!
