Hailey's Birthday

Hailey celebrated her 8th Birthday in McCall this year. Her birthday lands the day after our Anniversary so we always seem to be somewhere celebrating. She also was able the share the day with her Dad who was also celebrating Father's Day.

This is Haiely at age 2. She was lots of fun and always making people laugh. She has always been fun to be around.

Hailey's 8th birthday party was with friends and family about 6 days after her birthday. We were in McCall camping and both her and Jared didn't get much that day. We planned a fun swimming party and had the girls stay for a late night. They had a lot of fun swimming, eating and playing up stairs.

Hailey is loving, talented and full of personality.

Swimming Lessons

Oh, how the kids love summer and swimming. We started the summer off with swimm lessons the Monday after school got out. We will be doing two sessions this summer to make sure they know their strokes. They are doing so great! Hailey joined Grace in the advanced class and Grant is right after them in the advanced beginner. He has really taken off in swimming across the pool on his own.

Art Fair

Grace and Hailey have been involved with so many wonderful things at school this year. One of them being the Art Fair, they both played the piano and gave demonstrations with Clay and stamping. Hailey also was involved with another school play, and clogging.

Grandma Howard's Graduation

Mom graduated with her Master's Degree May 10, 2008. We all attended her ceremony but skinned out early to go eat at Red Lobster. We are so proud of her accomplishments and the example she sets for us. Here is a picture of all five of her beautiful children. Danial, Derek, Kimberly, Mom, Courtney and Daris.

Grandma Hill's visit

Grandma Hill came the first weekend in May with
Aunt Autumn and Uncle Ryan. She came to meet Sophia and spend time with Jared and the kids. Here are some fun pictures of Grandma, Claire and Taylor. Taylor turned one in February and Claire turned two May 11, 2008.

Sweet Cousins

Sophia and Corbin finally met Memorial Weekend. They are so cute and we were excited to get them together. They are only 10 days apart. The funnest thing is they remind me of Grace and Gaige, it's almost scary how much they do. We had fun taking pictures of them together

Here is Courtney, Tyler and Corbin. What a sweet little family.

Sophia's Blessing

Here we are at the Hill cabin after the blessing. This is one of our first pictures as a whole family, can you believe I have five children?

Aunt Courtney made the blanket for Sophia and I always like getting their blessing pictures taken with it. Thanks Aunt Courtney, we love it!

We Blessed Sophia Memorial weekend while home with the family. Here is a picture taken by Aunt Tracie capturing the sweet moment of that day. Sophia was about 2 1/2 months old.
