A Party for Haley

Haley is able to spend more time lying about without much more then, well anything really.  She has finally turned a corner and is able to just be without me having to hold her.  It is fantastic.  I spent this morning with the youth from my church washing cars to raise money for camp.  I got to drive an F250 and an F150.  It was pretty fun.  Oh, and a BMW, my favorite car, and a Lexus 350.  Wow.  Anyways, this afternoon my friends from college hosted a shower for Haley.  Amy Miller asked so long ago if she could be the one to host a shower for my baby because Michelle Clark, who usually is the hostess because she loves it, moved to Sacramento.  It was really nice not playing any games, but what they planned instead was to design some onesies for Haley.  There were different types of fabric and markers.  It was awesome.  Thanks Amy, Michelle, Toni, and Holly for planning such a fun event.

Two Years Old

Wyatt's second birthday snuck up on me.  He is now two, as of 6/7/10.  I couldn't believe it.  I think back to the day he was born and can remember the pain.  Today My friends hosted a baby shower for Haley.  We spent some time thinking about the day Wyatt was born.  (Wrong child, I know.)  But Marilla pretty much called me a liar, "you're kidding me, right?"  I called Michelle Clark first and little more than 20 minutes she was up in the room just laughing at the absurdity of the whole situation. 

Well, we had a family dinner at my parents house.  I frosted the cake and needed a place to put it where their dog, Turbo, wouldn't jump up on the table and devour it (like he's done before!).  Well, Wyatt got up on the bench and started handing Ally, his 18 month old cousin, onions.  When I took them away he found the next best thing, the cake.  He grabbed, and it was like slow motion to me, the cake and left a huge gaping hole in the side. 

Wyatt's play therapist (Sue) has been working with him to be able to blow out his candles.  And we placed the cake before him, sang happy birthday (like he understood!) and let him blow out the candles.  Well, Ally was also on the chair, so they both got to blow out the candles.  Thanks Sue for being so diligent to get Wyatt to learn so much!

My camera is somewhere in the mess of a house of mine.  Once the birthday pictures are on the computer, I will share the hand in the cake and the blowing out the candles. 

The only person missing from the party was Jane.  I miss you so much. I know you are where God intends you to be and I look to you as an inspiration for following the Will of God for your life.  Love you so much!
