Haley's 16th Birthday!

This girl (:

She's my sweet, sweet other daughter...

my precious friend....

Hadlee's favorite person...

and my student:)

She truly has brought so much 

love and joy to our lives.

Totally didn't expect this or plan for this...

But can't imagine our lives without her!

Haley has amazing parents who have

become our dear friends...

I'm thankful that they share her with us!  :)

I love having an extra daughter!  

And even better, Hadlee 

loves having a "sister"!  

I love that Hadlee has Haley to 

look up to, talk to, and love!  

They are CRaZY about each other

and I love it!!!

Our girl turned 16 in February!!!

I thought the words to this card were perfect...

Since her life is so busy with softball

and such, they have postponed her

Sweet 16 celebration (she got a car for

her birthday though!!!).  We love that

she can drive over anytime now.

Troy made steaks one night so 

we could celebrate with her.  

Speaking of, Troy loves her like his own, too!

Happy Sweet 16 Haley Girl!

This girl has one of the kindest

spirits I've ever known.  I have yet

to hear her say something ugly/negative

 about ANYONE.  There are NOT many 

people I could say that about.

She is mature, grounded,

and has a deep love for the Lord.

I'm blessed to know her and 

have her in my life.
