What a special little girl our Hallie Mae is she has developed quite the little personality over the last 3 years. She is very polite and always the 1st to offer to help someone. She has really enjoyed joy school and is still very much ahead of most kids her age. We have started doing more reading and writing full words with her. She love to be outside and to play with friends. She loves the trampoline, sandbox, and swingset with slide.  She is great at helping us to remember to say prayer and read our scriptures. She is very mature for her age. She loves music some of her favorite songs include Payphone, Call me maybe, Thousand years, and Wide Awake. She loves guacamole with chips and eats everything we do. She is very good at trying things at least once to see if she likes them. She is very much into princesses and loves to dress up and dance. She has developed quite the imagination and I quite frequently find her talking or teaching her dolls something I had said or taught to her. We just started her with an allowance and some "responsibilities" so we will see how that goes. She loves to watch tv and play electronics of any kind and sometimes I think she know better how to run them than I do. She is very good at listening and rarely gets put in time out. She is great at sharing with Gracie but at times has a hard time sharing with other kids. One of her favorite things this summer has been to pick raspberries off our raspberry bushes and eat them by the handfuls...I don't think I will ever get to do anything with them we eat them to quick. She has loved helping the the garden, mostly picking the fruits and veggies. 

 Today after we finished the yard work she asked if we could wash her car like we wash our car.(She just got this car from a friend last week and it was pretty dirty). So we pulled out the soap, sponges, and rags and gave her car a good wash. After we got it cleaned she said that's much better now it looks loved and taken care of(we have been talking about how we treat and take care of things) it made me smile and my heart happy.

 She is so sweet and thoughtful of Gracie. Yesterday while in Walmart on the  shaving isle she informed me she needed a picture with Gracie. I thought it was so cute and is just one example of what a sweet little girl she is. She wants to make sure everyone is included and happy.

Where have the last 3 years gone? Matt and I feel so lucky to have such an amazing little girl that helps teach/remind us to be better everyday.
