Alexa Mae Haws



She's finally here! I'm officially an aunt! She is so beautiful! 7 pounds, 10 ounces.. 18 1/2 inches. She is the most beautiful baby! I'm so glad that she's here, and that she made it okay!

I am so blessed to have this sweet spirit enter my life, and my family is so excited that she's joining us! Its still so crazy that my sister had a baby.

Alicia is my older sister, and she was always someone i looked up to, since the time i could stand up and waddle around after her. Follow her every step. Watch her go through her hardest times, and grow up.. and now she is a mommy. MY sissy, leesha. is a mommy(:

i'm so happy for her, i will love this little girl forever.


love, erin

December:
Dance and Drill consumed my life this month. Practice at 6 every morning and stayed after school until 6 everyday for 2 weeks. Dance Concert was a blast. First competition. We took 5th place in our Kick routine out of 9 schools. It was the best thing ever to take an actual award home. It has never happened. We are working our way up for sure. Mom had some medical problems on Christmas Eve, but we pulled through it. Christmas Break and Christmas were amazing. UVU dance on New Years Eve was a blast.

This year really was a good one and I am so grateful to everyone in my life, no matter who it is or what they've done for me, i love them all. I'm so thankful to have all these great memories.

I know 2010 will be just as great. It is going to be a year of big big changes. Turning 18, Graduating and starting College. It is going to be a good year and I can't wait to see what will happen. Thank you to everyone who has and will always stand by my side. I love you. Happy New Year!
