Feb. 2010

It has been a little while but there are some things we would like to share.

Hailey is doing great in school. 4th grade is half way over. She gets all 1's and 2's...thats the equivalent of A's and B's. She has been reading a lot and enjoys mystery books. She is a great big helper with Bethany. She can make her laugh harder than anyone else. You can tell she loves her little sister. She loves to spend her money but not on herself...she will spend it all on Bethany if we let her. Last week she started guitar lessons and loves it so far. She started because she likes Taylor Swift! Hailey also chopped her hair off to donate. She had to cut 10 inches off and her hair is still past her shoulders. She loves it. The whole time we were there she had the nervous giggles but whe was super brave! We are proud of her.
Bethany is doing great. She goes to her cardiologist next month. If this one goes well then we will start going yearly instead of every six months! WOO HOO! She is super sassy and a typical 2 yr old! She tries to push her limits then when you get mad she gives you a hug and says sorry...what a kiss up! She will let you know if she does or doesnt want something. She loves to follow Hailey around and if Hailey is busy she yell across the house "Hailey Paige, come here" Hailey is really good about getting to her fast! I have a feeling in a couple yrs that will stop and Hailey will just be annoyed! lol

Tyson and I are doing so much better these days. We just celebrated out 3 yr anniversary last month. We had a rough year last yr but I think we have gotten past the worst of all of it. We found out in November we are expecting another little one. I am due August 5th but will probably end up going the end of July. Finally a baby that is nowhere near Christmas!!! We will be finishing our basement so Hailey can move down there and we will move Bethany into Haileys old room and the baby into Bethanys room. Hailey thinks she has to share a room with Bethany! That has been fun teasing her about it....we will eventually have to tell her she gets her own room!

Hailey

Hailey is in the 4th grade this year. I can't believe how big she is getting. She is really into science stuff. She loves anything about the universe and planets. She loves to experiment and figure things out. Hailey is a wonderful big sister. She loves helping out and taking care of her little sister. She can make her sister laugh more than anyone and is VERY protective. We are so proud of her.

Bethany

Bethany just turned 2. She is a sassy little girl but I wouldnt have it any other way She is a tough girl. She loves her big sister so much. She loves to play with her and they have a lot of fun together. She is into Curious George and Super Why. She can count to 14 and say her ABC's. She eats EVERYTHING! You would never know this kid had to have heart surgery!
