Haylie Turns 6!

Well, here is proof that I take FOREVER to blog! Haylie turned 6 in January and I am just now getting around to blogging about it. Wow, I'm lame!
She begged for a friend party this year, and since I kept turning her down last year, I felt I should give in and do it since all of her other friends had invited her to their birthday extravaganzas. All I can say is "holy crap, that takes a lot of energy". There were so many cute little girls in my house with so much energy I felt like I'd need to sleep for at least six months just to recover.
Luckily, I had the help of my sisters, Erin and Darby and Dallin to entertain the kiddos. They saved the day-literally! It was super fun and the girls all got along really well, but I told Haylie we'll revisit the friend party when she turns 8...or 18. :)

Here's Mikaela and Chloe after all the excitement! That's what I needed!

Haylie had a whole "Princess and the Frog" theme going on for her birthday. She asked for a Princess cake so we chose to use "Charlotte" from the "Princess and the Frog" movie to make her cake. Here's my attempt at professional decorating. Oh well, Haylie was impressed.


Lately I look at my sweet little Haylie and wonder how it is possible that she's 6 already! It doesn't seem possible. I love her inquisitive little mind, and her funny comments. She is so smart and learns so fast. She told me recently that she plans to be a cheerleader doctor when she grows up. I say "Rah rah, Dr. Haylie!" She is such a blessing to me and Eric. We love her so much and couldn't even begin to imagine our lives without her! Happy Birthday, Haylie-bug!
