My BABY is 16!!!!!

Oh NO – where did all the time go???  My baby is 16 today!!!!

I always buy her a bouquet of flowers…and balloons. 

And today she is wearing the "BIRTHDAY" tiara…just like mom!!!!

Here she is leaving for her High School Workout program this morning….WEARING THE TIARA!!!!

How funny is that???  Have you ever pumped iron wearing a diamond studded tiara??? LOL!  I wish she would've let me come with her to the gym…so I could take pictures of that….but that's where she draws the line – LOL!

And here's Hailey leaving for her papa's house….that's what she's doing today.  Her boyfriend is driving her up north (2 1/2 hours away) to spend the day with her Grampa…it's his birthday today too!!!!!  What a GREAT kid!!!!

It's a surprise - her grandparents don't know that she's coming!!!!  I KNOW RIGHT???  I would love to be a fly on their wall!  My dad isn't able to travel anymore….so she's going to him.  He can't come to her big birthday/pool party bash on Saturday.  So this is the next best thing!!!!

As I'm taking all these photos – her boyfriend, Austin says "this is really weird!"  "It's not weird – this is a HUGE day – it's Hailey's special day!!!  That's what we do in our house!"
 

Here's a photo of Grama & Papa with Hailey on her 13th birthday…with the Moped he bought her!  Yeah – they're pretty tight!!!!  Crazy right???

Can't wait to share the photos with you from our big party on Saturday!!!!  Even better than that…I can't wait to tell you what we are getting her and why.  She's a VERY lucky girl…but she's also a very kind, caring daughter!  Is she spoiled?  You bet…Is she rotten?  NEVER!  I LOVE her to death!!!!
