Hailey turns seven!

I can't believe we have a seven year old!  I know I keep saying this, but time is literally zooming by.  So much so that it scares me!  Hailey is such a trooper.  Last year she didn't get a birthday party, so we promised her one this year.  With my back issues and upcoming surgery, I had no idea when to schedule a party for her.  We asked her if she would rather have a birthday party with friends, or if she would rather go to Toys R Us and pick out whatever she wanted, and have a family party.  I know she really wanted a birthday party with her new friends from her new school, but she knew it would be easier with my surgery if she didn't have one this year.  So, she decided on picking out her gifts. She later changed her mind and wanted a family party, but wanted me to pick out her toys so she could be surprised.  Next year this girl is DEFINITELY having a fun birthday party with friends!  Jaren had to work almost her entire birthday, except for coming home for an hour in the evening, which is when she opened her gifts.  Then on Saturday Jim, Gwen and kids, Grandma Petersen, and Rachel and Elsie came over for pizza and cake and ice cream.  She had lots of fun.  This sweet girl is definitely easy to please.  We love you Hailey Bug!

 Since Daddy had to work all day, we put her 

candle in her waffles that morning!

 Cute little sisters ♥♥

 Hailey started playing Wii that morning and couldn't 

believe the Wii knew that it was her birthday, and that

on the T.V screen the Wii board was wearing a party hat!

She came in yelling "look what the T.V says"....haha,

it was so cute!!!

 Nana & Papa came over during the day to wish her

a Happy Birthday, and to give her a gift.  I love this

picture of her and Papa.  The look on her face

shows just how much she loves him ♥

 Reading their card. 

 Smarties, or "farties", as Addy calls them.

 This was a book of Hello Kitty tattoos, that

were darn near permanent lol.  Hailey put one on

on her face and we literally tried everything to get it off.

Jaren kept calling her Mike Tyson...lol.

 She did this herself, little turkey!

 Nana knows how to pick out the best gifts!  Hailey

got a bag with a TON of stuff in it.  She especially

liked the two huge craft paper books.  She was pretty

much obsessed with them for two weeks straight!

 Awwww love this picture of Hailey and my mom ♥♥

 Another of Hailey and Papa.

 Opening gifts when Jaren came home 

from work for a bit.

 She was SOOO excited to get Sorry!

We've been having lots of fun playing it.

 Haha...love the look on her face!

 She was SO excited about this.  Unfortunately it

was crappy and didn't work, so we took it

back and exchanged it for another toy.

 Hailey mostly wanted Littlest Pet Shop toys. 
I went to a million stores looking for them!

 Jaren putting batteries in her Littlest Pet Shop remote car.

Vroom Vroom...the girls LOVE this toy.

 Having fun with balloons!

She got to celebrate her birthday at school

by making an "All About Hailey" poster.

She also got to bring treats.  She picked

rice crispy treats and Hershey kisses.

So cute!

 Making her treats for school.

And of course, she got to lick the spoon!

 The morning of her birthday

she made party hats for some

of her animals...so cute!

 We made her cake, and she loved

licking the spatula!

 Opening her gift from Elsie, lots of girly

stuff....hair ponies, head bands nail polish!

 Grandma Petersen gave her money and a sand dollar!

 Cute girl!

 She loves to by silly!

And the birthday fun continues!  Two weeks after
her birthday, we went with our old neighbors
to Chucky Cheese and Toys R US
to pick out a present.

 

Reagan and Makenzey.

So cute...Raeley and Addy watching the
mouse dance.  I have to say, I am the most
paranoid parent EVER!  I freaked out every
time I lost sight of the kids!!
