Hailey's XC season and "stuff"

Hailey has grown so much this year! She also started 6th grade at Lake Hazel Middle School. This is a big move in her life. She now has a locker and gets to play sports. She was so excited to run XC and is looking forward to playing a little volley ball.

In August I was able to take Hailey to a Jon Schmidt concert.  We had a great time and had front row seats.  Hailey even caught one of the balls that he threw out to the audience.  We went with some friends who also play piano.  We were all able to talk to Jon afterwards and he autographed the ball.  I took pictures on my cell phone and as soon as I can figure out how to get those pictures off my cell phone and into my computer I will post them!


Hailey had a great XC season. She talked a few of the 6th grade girls in our ward to run, which made it fun.  She improved her times a lot.  The middle school races 6th-8th grades together.  Hailey always finished in the top 5-7 runners for Lake Hazel. The course in middle school is one and a half miles.  Here are the dates and places of her meets with her times.

Tallie, Ashlee and Hailey  (All in the same ward, all 6th grade)

 Brooke, Kylie and Hailey.  Best friends since 2nd grade.  Now all go to different middle schools.

Hailey beat them both : )

Hailey had to do a spot light of herself in her home room.  She had to make a poster and present it in front of everyone.  Joel was home, and took her to school and stayed to listen to her.  He snapped these pictures.  The sailboat is a painting that she did. 

I thought this was cute.  Hailey came home upset the other day and said the kids at school call her

 "the goody goody mormon girl".

When boys ask her to "go out" with them, she says no.

She doesn't swear to be cool or fit in and she doesn't talk about naughty stuff. 

This may not be "cool" in middle school, but this makes her a CHAMPION with her family!
