Hailey's 12th Birthday

Hailey has been planning her 12th birthday party for years. But with that aside, she planned a great one. She invited 3 of her closest friends. They participated in the "Parry Relaxation Spa". We started out by doing facials, then pedicures and manicures. They had spa treats and drinks.

When they had finished with the fun, Hailey opened her presents. They moved into "sleep over" mode and got in there p.j.'s. They started watching a movie and then played the Wii.

All in all I think it was pretty successful. I am so proud of her and the choices she has made. She is now 12, she has started Jr. High, is now in Young Womens and is babysitting. What is so crazy to me is that I remember being 12. I am not old enough to have a 12 year old. Where does time go?

Kids Pictures

Over UEA weekend I thought I would take the kids pictures. No one really wanted to participate, but Mom made them. I am to cheap to have the school take the pictures. After this experience I should have just had the school do them.

None of the group shots turned out. This was the best.

First Day of School

This was a big year for us. Hailey started Jr. High. She is attending a school out of our district. She decided to go to a different school because of friends, curriculum, and sports. She loves the decision she made (& so does mom & dad). 7th grade is just been amazing and the changes have been good for Hailey.

Curtis started the 3rd grade. He loves to go to school, because he is so social. He enjoys his teacher and trys to be a people pleaser.

Jessica started preschool this year. She is going with her friend Alice. She has made many new friends and love her teacher. She wakes up with such joy to go to school and can't wait for show & tell day.
