the beginning of graduation week

 Tonight is the beginning of  a very exciting week around these parts~

Hailey is GRADUATING!

Seminary graduation was first up tonight.

We are so very proud of her & excited that she is finishing up this chapter of her life & moving on to bigger & better things.

She is a joy- an absolute joy.

High school has not been easy for Hailey (is it easy for anyone?) She has struggled with many things-
 but can I say-- she has overcome, she has been courageous & she is winning the battle.
 Oh my mother heart has been busy & my prayer... we will talk about that another day.

Even though her official H.S. Graduation is on Thursday we decided to open her main presents tonight in honor of her finishing up everything.

Hailey finished her last 2 months of High School at home, working with a counselor & teacher who came to the house a couple of days a week to drop off & pick up homework.

Today- she turned in her last assignments.

DONE

All Done

Honestly - there was a time there where we were starting to worry

but that was in vain.

In honor of Seminary Graduation

NEW SCRIPTURES

Scriptures get pretty worn & marked up (that's a good thing) and we wanted her to have a fresh new pair.

Second....

~drum roll please~

The IPhone 3GS!!

She has wanted one so so so badly.

Now she has one & we are committing to paying her contract for the first year.

As you can clearly see the presentation of the IPhone brought out the green eyed, jealous, monster in one 12 year old red head.

 It's tough being the youngest.

Hailey & Tiffany 

Seminary Graduation was held at our local church building & it was a beautiful ceremony. There were lots of graduates, parents & friend who have grown up with our Hailey.

 Hailey & Larkin- pals since they were 8 years old!

We are just so very thrilled for Hailey. We are so proud of all her hard work- she has definitely learned a lot & grown in many more ways than the average teen. I'm so glad she is ours. So happy she is such a great daughter & friend to me.

Come back soon to see the graduation pictures.
