A Special Thanks to MaMa and Papa

Haley was sick with a really bad cold and pink eye in both eyes last week. She was out of school for a full week and of course MaMa and Papa were right there to cancel their plans and spend each day with her. I'm sure by the end of the week Haley had tested every bit of patience they had but Clayton and I were so thankful to have them around to always help us out when we need them!

I know that I have told all of you over and over how much Haley looks forward to her Friday's with MaMa and Papa, but I have finally caught it on video! Here is Haley anxiously awaiting MaMa's arrival early Friday morning! You can see from the pictures that from the moment she wakes up we have to start watching out the window...it slowly gets lighter outside in each picture. So that we make sure we don't miss MaMa pulling into the driveway Haley pleads every Friday that she gets to eat her breakfast in the living room so that she can take a bite and then climb back up on the stool to anxiously wait! Now the big moment....MaMa has arrived! I love that video :) Papa typically comes over a little later in the morning and then they all head out for lunch and quality time shopping, park, etc.

The big day finally arrived for Manace and Jason...the newly weds both looked Beautiful and Handsome and the whole weekend went off with out a hitch! Friday night was the rehearsal and dinner and then Saturday we headed to the hair salon and then off to the church to patiently wait for the big moment when Manace was able to walk down the isle to join hands with her Husband! Haley was able to keep us entertained for a while and she was full of kisses that day! We are so happy for Manace and Jason...that have always been meant for each other. Congrats to the newly weds!

Haley is becoming quite the pro at being a flower girl...maybe we'll start selling her services along with Mimi's Candelabra's business :) (website not yet completed). Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of her walking down the isle but I did get to watch her and she did great! Since I was a bridesmaid Clayton and I sent her off down the isle to take her basket to Mimi who was at the other end waiting to trade her tag blanket and M&Ms for her basket full of flowers...works every time! Thanks to Mimi and Melissa for getting her dressed and ready that day! Later that night Manace, Mim, MaMa and Haley all had a great time on the dance floor and Clayton was able to have another Father/Daughter dance. Haley had her first boy get down on his knees for her....and she completely ditched him :( I guess we'll have to teach her some manners but I must say her Dad, Papa and Grandpa were happy to see it!

Recently we have had several fall days where Haley has been able to enjoy some of her new Birthday presents! She loves her new Car that Sheryl and Ryan gave her and already knows how to use it...they learn fast these days. She also got to go for a ride on her new tricycle from Gary, Mandy, Macy and Makayla! She can't quite reach the petals yet but she loves for us to push her up and down the street on it...i think she feels like a big girl. Thanks Sis for the adorable Minnie Mouse outfit that Haley is wearing! Thanks to Haley's new doll from Russell and Brandon Haley is almost ready to start cheering!

Papa, MaMa and Grandpa have all had Birthday's lately and Haley has taken the opportunity to sing Happy Birthday to all of them. I only captured one on video but note that they all heard it :)

Even though it was cold and rainy Haley loved trick or treating and I think she would go every night if we would let her. She would say trick or treat just before they opened the door and then she wouldn't say ANYTHING! She just held out her bucket and hoped for the best. Haley got to go to her first haunted house....I think she liked it...haha! I did snap a picture of all of Haley's body guards...I don't think anyone was going to mess with her that night! Kobe was there to sniff out the candy :) After trick or treating we were off to Sher Sher and RyRy's house to help hand out candy to the kids and their Halloween Party! Haley had such a great time hanging out with RyRy and Sher Sher and she even got her very own Halloween basket from them too!
