Happy Birthday Hailey!

This past week Hailey celebrated her 9th birthday! Good golly miss molly, where did the time go? We were just in Tucson at Hailey’s baptism and now this? It has got to stop.

Hailey has been so excited for her birthday. For at least a month before, she asked us everyday if it was her birthday or informed us that she was going to have a birthday. I love the picture above because it perfectly captures how happy she was once her birthday came. We decided to go down to the West Valley Fitness Center which has an indoor pool. They also had a party room right off of the pool area so we had a swimming party! Woohoo. All the kids had a great time except for Jos. She stuck to us like white on rice.

Speaking of Jos. She is up for adoption. Any takers? That stinkin kid is doing good. Her eye has completely healed. She has one more doctors appointment and if everything is ok then, the doc says that she wont have anymore problems like that for the rest of her life. She is entering her terrible 2′s right now so that might not be that long. Joslin’s birthday is on Monday. What were we thinking having 2 kids birthday’s so close together?!? That’s going to bankrupt me in a few years.

Noah, sigh. He was up for adoption too but we didn’t have any takers. He is so ready for school. Or maybe Juli is ready for him to be in school. I haven’t figured it out yet. He is so full of energy and activity that we can barely keep up. He always has something to say even when his parents are trying to talk, about adoption.

Conference is about to start for the final session. We have all been enjoying conference and hope you are too….
