Okay, so maybe she doesn't represent America and maybe she isn't necessarily the "top" but she is the next spokes model for Jena Golden Photography. Ironically, she got a call the very same day about being a spokes model for another photographer. She can only represent one, obviously, and she has signed a contract stating that. Hayli chose Jena (pronounced Gina) because WOW, she does fabulous work!! She is this little, bubbly lady, probably in her late 20's early 30's, and you can tell she LOVES being a photographer. We went to her studio last night and it is fabulous. Hayli will get a thick book of all her pictures (approx. 30-60+) both indoors and "on location" shots, personalized cards that have her pictures on them, a online gallery of her pics to send people to see, and a T-shirt. I am WAY excited. Hayli's "job" as a spokes model means she has to be walking advertising for Jena. (The idea is to expand her senior-client base). Hayli will get a $50 credit or cash for every person that books a session with Jena. The credit would be for more prints. Being at her studio made me think I would LOVE to be a photographer. How fun would it be to do what she does? She has two little boys and she is very conscientious about having time for her family..love that. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HAYLI!! Today is her birthday and I can't believe my baby is going to be in college next year! Where does the time go!
P.S. I have to mention this thing that happened on Sunday...about a minute before sacrament started, every ones in their seats, prelude music is playing, one of the Bishopric members comes and kneels beside Hayli and I think he is asking her if she will give a talk. Like as in now. She says "Sure, on what?" Whatever you want, is what he replies. She is the first speaker and gives about a 7-8 minute, wonderful talk on missionary work. Could I be anymore amazed?
P.S.S. Obviously, looking at my pics on this blog,it is safe to say I will not be entering into the world of photography.

Vball.
My girls had a big tourney this weekend and won all ten games straight! WHOOHOO! I took a ton of great pics with my brother-in-law's awesome camera but when I uploaded for a slide show, it cut the photo's off in places and made them look blurry. Oh well.

Awww..I love it.
I am on page 207 and I love, love, love the new book. I am trying to take my time with it (although my girls are chomping at the bit) because I know that it will be a good while before she is done with book number four. I don't know what is going to happen in this book but I still love me some Edward.

School, school go away, come again a month or so from now.
Sadly, school has come. Summer, although it is 100 degrees outside, is gone. I remember when summer seemed like it lasted forever. That was when I was young and a year seemed like a decade. All of my kiddies have gone back to school except Meg. She starts next week. Her private school schedule is different form theirs and she only goes to school Monday-Thursday. That will be fun.
This is the last of Hayli's high school years. This time next year she will be packing up and moving off to college. We won't think about that right now.
Kayla has officially become a high schooler! She will hopefully adjust well and most importantly right now, find someone to sit with at lunch...
Chandler is a big fourth grader! He loves school and the girls love him!
Now for the big news. My girls are big volleyball players. It's what they do for sport and it's what they do for fun. Hayli is one of 7 Seniors on the Varsity team this year. There are 5 Juniors, one which is an alternate. There is one big, bad Freshman named KAYLA who made Varsity!!! Kayla is the Varsity setter! It's a pretty big deal and we are proud! My girls will get to play together again!!! I am thrilled. Hayli is super thrilled because she thinks hands-down Kayla is an awesome setter and she loves the way she sets (Hayli plays Outside and Middle).
I love to watch them play. Can't wait until next week!
