This last week there was a bridal shower for Cassi Hakes. (Did i tell you that she is getting married? To kelly wood, also from las cruces but they both live in Utah. funny, huh?)  I had a lot of fun!  On saturday, Josh went to the Albq. Temple because Cassi was recieving her endowment.  I was feeling sad that I didn't get to go especially because I have been to the temple for a little while.  We both felt like it was the best thing for our family.  I'm still nursing her so it would be hard to leave her but doing a whole day of driving...I would have probably been pulling my hair out.  She goes nuts!  Josh and I decided that she is very active because she pretty much can't ever sit still not even for a moment feels like.  In church she is always playing or acting busy but it's really cute.  Today I was trying to have her sit quietly on my lap for the sacerment and she was not having it.  She started to scream because she wanted down.  Oh well we'll try again next week!  This upcoming week I have a dentist appt and I haven't been in a year and a half.  I have to tell you that I'm scared.  I'm going to a dentist that mom and dad recently found and they say they really like him so that is reassuring.  I just hope that there is not a lot of work to be done, or cavities.  I very glad that I'm not seeing bridget burris anymore.  I almost feel like she was hope for a cavity to fix or anything close.  I definately thought that she was dramitic about things like when my wisdom teeth came in she was like if you don't get those out now then you'll need root canals. Then she went on, You might need root canals anyway on those back teeth.  (Because my wisdom teeth were pushing up under them and possible damaging the roots.)  Needless to say I got them out asap and I didn't go back to her and I've never needed root canals. Lucky for me.  I can't hardly remember when you got your wisdom teeth out.  Maybe I'll ask mom.  I think I can say now that Hailey is offically walking.  She has very good balance, she does it alot and does still fall down alot too, and she does crawl a quite a bit too but over all she is pretty good a walking.  It had definately been very gradual for her.
  I was putting Hailey in the car today after church.  I had one leg in the car and one leg out of the car and just as I was finishing the wind blew really hard and pinched my leg in the door.  It hurt so bad. I couldn't believe that the wind blew so hard.  Looking back it was kinda funny and all I got was a bruise so really it wasn't so bad.   Gotta love the wind! (Yeah right)

 the dentist went super well!  He is a great dentist!  Mom told me that she already has an appt for you in July when you get back!  it's good she did because the dentist is so booked that you have to call like two months before to get in!  I guess Dave and mom have their cleanings for that time too!  I have to tell you that I didn't get any cavities!!  I was very excited!  Guess about Josh...  he had two cavities.  I can't hardly believe it, I'm the cavity getter in our family but my luck or you could say both our luck is changing!  We are looking forward to Hailey Birthday next week!

we had a tough week!!   Hailey got so sick!  On monday night she threw up and she had threw up two more times.  Both on me.  It was so gross.  Josh was home so I was so glad that he was there to help.  It was so stinky!  Poor girl!  Then on Thursday Josh got sick with the squirts!  He needed me to help him a lot like make him soup and get him medicine.  I think he liked being taken care of!  We had to postpone Hailey's party until Today.  I'm glad because she felt so such better and she really liked having the kids come and play!  We had all our family come and a lot of Hailey's friends from church, there were probably 20 people here.  I think next time I would split it up (friends and then family) because I felt like I didn't get to enjoy everyone as much as if there were less people so that I could talk to everyone more.  You know what I mean?  But it still was very fun having everyone come over.  Hailey got some cute things. Some clothes and mom and dad made her a little baby cradle.  It is so cute.  I bet they put a lot of time into making it.  It looks really nice.  She also got a cute little back pack, a bear, bubbles, a bib, and a blanket.  After we opened like two things she didn't care anymore about opening presents, she wanted to play!  She can be very independent!!

 .  You probably heard from mom but Uncle Randy passed away on Saturday.  It was also Nathan's Birthday on Saturday. I feel really sad especially for the Merrells.  That has gotta be so tough for them!  And also for Allen who is away on his mission.  You know what though, the last six months about since uncle randy had been having treatment and feeling pretty bad he really was not like himself at all.  He looked like he felt so awful and although he still had a happy attitude he wasn't as talkative.  Josh said when we found out on Saturday, He has no more pain and he's in a better place.  It's really good in that sense.  I think it would be especially hard for Barbara!  We will have a crazy weekend. His funeral on Friday, Saturday is Cassi and Kelly's wedding in Albq and on Sun. a Hakes nephew is being blessed.   Although Friday will be a sad day it will be really nice to see the cousins.      Hailey has had a tooth coming through and I think it's been really hard on her.  There's another one that's close behind!!
