Family Updates: Haylie Mae

Big beautiful eyes and long dark eyelashes.

More hair than anyone I know

Haylie is a first born child.  

No sisters and lots of brothers.

She is dependable, driven, smart, helpful and careful.

She has always done well in school.  

Math is her super subject.  It just comes easy for her.

She was born in Provo when Matt and I were young.

Her goal is BYU and we are hoping she can get there.

She loves her cousins.  

Spending time with them is always a treat. 

This summer she will go with her cousin Shannon to EFY in Provo.

They went last year together too and they had the time of their lives.

She loves the beach.

Although she has adjusted to living in the snow too.

Haylie had to move in the middle of her 8th grade year.  

It could have been real tough but she chose to have a positive attitude.

Her positive attitude rubbed off on all of the family and how thankful we are for that.

Haylie is a spiritual girl.

She take church things very seriously.

She is a great example to me. 

She doesn't go a night without reading her scriptures, writing in her journal, and of course saying her prayers.

Seminary starts every morning at 6:00 am.  And she loves it!

Sunday she received her patriarchal blessings, it was a special day.

Friends have always been important to Haylie.  

We are grateful that she has always had amazing friends.

Her friends have always been a good influence on her.

Haylie is a freshman.

This year she decided to tryout for the cross-country team, basketball team, and the soccer team.

It has been fun to watch her compete.

She has enjoyed challenging herself and having new experiences.

She is working on Driver's Ed (on-line) and of course she is excited about driving!

Yesterday she applied for a passport

because this summer her plans will take her to London and Paris.

Just the two of us...This is one of the perks to having only one daughter :)

We love you Haylie and I love being your mom.  

You make my job easy.
