But it's not a lie. I was just kidding!

It is so obvious when Hailey is tired. She rubs her ears when she is ready to hit the floor and fall asleep. The other night we were in the car going to get some really late dinner and I looked back at Hailey and her eyes were closed. I grabbed her legs and told her, "Hailey no sleeping until you eat some food, okay." She starts to talk with her eyes still closed and says, "Mom, see the sun in the sky, it's shinning in my eyes. That's why I have to keep my eyes closed because it's so really bright." I said, "Hailey, guess what? It's night time and the sun is not out" Okay so her first fib did not really work so she comes out with fib number two. "But Mom, she that red light over there, it is shinning in my eyes, that's why I have to keep my eyes closed." I looked down the road and about a 1/2 mile away, sure enough there is a red stop light. I turned to Hailey and said, "Hay hay, are you tired?" She said, " NO, I told you the lights are shinning in my eyes." I reminded her that we are not supposed to tell lies and we always tell the truth. And this is what she says, "Mom, Hailey is a good girl, I always tell the truth." "Really, what about the sun and red light stories you just said." " But it's not a lie, I was just kidding!!!"



Hailey had her first day of dance today! It was so cute to watch all of the 3 & 4 yr. olds try to copy what their teachers were doing. Hailey is just a jabber mouth and would not stop talking to the other girls. The teachers kept telling her to face the front, to copy them, to stop talking. But in the end she was not the worst behaved kid. To bad she is so dang competitive and thinks that doing across-the-floors is a race. When it was her turn with two other girls she would just start sprinting across the floor. Oh, yeah and she let the other girls know that she was the winner by a lot. Maybe we should think about running, or soccer for her. We will see.

Happy 48th Birthday to my Dad!!!
Bub and I entered in some of our photography into the fair this year and guess what? I got a 1st and 2nd place ribbon. Bub got a 2nd place ribbon too! Yeah so um, it was a big win. Together we won $11.00!!! Pretty hot huh. Anyway, the experience was a ton of fun. We will definitely do it again.

MTC

My brother Sam wen into the MTC this last week. I love how people totally lie about when they drop off their missionaries at the MTC and say "it was so good!" Our family has become especially close this year and it was hard to say bye to Sam but we will see him soon. Although it was supper hard, we all are so proud of Sam and his excitement in wanting to serve a mission. We love you Sam and know that the people of Colombia need you and the message you will bring them. See you in two!!!
We figured out that Hailey will have started Kindergarten by the time Sam gets home.
Liza is a little relieved that Sam will not be around to bug her now that she can date. Turns out Bruce and Bub have stepped up and are both 3x's more protective and more annoying about the dating situation. Good job boys!

Oh, what have I done!

Bub went camping with the Young men this last weekend to Bear Lake so my brothers decided to come up to Logan to stay with me and Hailey. We went to 30 min. of the rodeo and then left after we decided that we might die. After the rodeo had started a really bad rain and lightning storm had started. We sat through it thinking it was kind of fun until the rodeo announcer started cutting out due to the lightning and then it got really uncomfortable. We realized we were all sitting on metal bleachers and that if lightning hit one of us we would all get zapped. So we started home. This is a picture of us dripping wet, I mean soaked to the bone by the time we reached my apartment. It was kind of fun though. I love rain storms!!!

Hailey rock climbing! She saw Bruce and Sam climbing at the gym and had to try the real deal. Bruce and Sam keep on reminding me that if she starts climbing now, she could be a pro. by the time she is 13 years old!!!
We went to Tony's Grove up Logan Canyon. It was amazing and soooo beautiful!!! The water was crisp blue and we walked on the mile trail that surrounds the natural lake. I love being in the mountains.
Oh boy, what have I done! Let me tell you the story. So, I reserved a copy of the new vampire book, Breaking Dawn at Hastings. They said that I could come and get it at 10-12pm. I showed up at 10pm and found out that was just when the party started. Yeah, it was kind of weird. There were girls dressed up in prom dressing looking like vampires and all sorts of weird stuff. Anyway, the books were not going to be given out until midnight. I had to work early the next morning and decided to just go home and then come back in two hours. I came home and told Bub the situation and guess what? He sent me to bed and he took Hailey to Hastings at midnight and waited in line for 1hr. for my vampire book. What a sweetheart! To top it off, Bub has been coming with me on my photo shoots and doing my lighting for me. I love it when he comes, we have a lot of fun together. Anyway, he has been really sweet lately, so I did it, I gave in. My hubby now has an XBOX. Just before we walked in the door with the XBOX I stopped Bub and told him, " Now remember, you love Hailey and me more than the XBOX, right? So wish me luck, I hope we did not just buy a widow maker!

Fishing in Mexico!

My bro. was cleaning out his room and decided to give us this electric piano. Hailey loves it! Look she's already becoming creative with her music. (Our neighbors under us hate it.) He, he, he!
A nice Sunday drive brought us to 1st Dam. Turns out Hailey found some little Mexican friends. These cute little Mexican kids were fishing with bread and Hailey thought it was so cool. She just walked right up to the group and started fishing with them. The boy next to her was a little concerned that she was going to drop his bread into the water. He kept telling her, "Alto, alto, nina." So what does Hailey do?
...Well of course she thinks she can have a full on conversations with these kids. She would just start making up some weird sounds that kind of sound like Chinese and she thought she was good to go. If only speaking another language was that easy- it would be awesome.
Yeah, my project is almost done! Bub gave me this frame on Valentines to put all of our friends and families pictures on it. I still need to find some stickers to put, "We are family, we are friends!" on it. Clear back in Feb. when Bub and I were about to leave to go to Texas, Hailey gave us a hug and said those cute words. This way where ever we go, we can take everyone with us! Hey, we still need a picture from some friends in the Spanish Fork area to put up it here. Don't worry, we have a spot reserved just for you guys! Love ya all!!!
