NOW THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE!!!!!!

Lost part of her eyebrows...eyelashes...inside of the nose hairs & the front of her hair burnt
Synged Hair....
Burnt nose...the skin on and around the nostrils is blistered & the skin is falling off...its like a really bad sunburn.

Hayli wanted to cook dinner on the BBQ tonight so I went out and started it and she was going to put hamburgers on for us. When she went out to put the burgers on I guess it didn't stay lit so she pushed the ignite button again as she was lifting the lid and it exploded on her.

Hayli is one lucky little girl because one of the guys at the Fire Station has a friend that this exact same thing happened too...sadly he didn't have a good outcome. He was life flighted to the burn unit in Salt Lake City and now has massive burns on his face.

I know that Heavenly Father was watching over her and I am grateful to him for keeping her from being hurt worse than she did.

Hayli's first day of JR. HIGH...

Typical teenager...always texting
Our Hayli Bug all sorts of grown up
Mom....look how LONG my TIE is!
Hey at least in this picture she looks small....its only the angle YOU took it from MOM!!!! "quoted from HAYLI"


Hayli started Jr. High on Wednesday at the new Legacy Prep Secondary School. This is the same school she has been attending just the new Jr. High/High School. We went to back to school night and toured the new school and went and found all of her classes so she would be ready. The first day was great and she is happy to be back at school with all her friends and new friends to meet. Its hard to believe my first born baby is now in Jr. High School it doesn't seem like it has been that long ago that I myself was in Jr. High. How time flies by and now with my own children it seems to go even faster.

Hayli's new DO....

Before...
During....
Still working on getting them done....
After!!! Hayli's beautiful long hair =)


Hayli has been saving her money to get HAIR EXTENSIONS. She has made jewelry and done lots of chores around the house and for others. She also used the money she got from people for her Birthday. She was able to raise all of the money ($150.00) she needed to get them done and I'm so proud of her. Between the money she got for her Birthday and the money she earned she had a total of $180.00. She now realizes with hard work you can accomplish things you want.


Hayli & Amy getting finished with the hair.

Amy did a great job!!! Thanks a million for the hard work and the great deal on Hayli's hair =) Normal cost of the extensions would have been ($300.00 we got the cosmetologist discount since I do hair too) thank goodness :)

Back in August of 1997 Hayli was due the middle of the month and all Steve would say is that he wanted the baby to come on his Birthday. That is all he wanted and he said that would be his Birthday gift forever. Well at 1:21 am on August 24th he got his wish. Hayli Mikael Chaffin was born on his Birthday. Ever since then we have had a double Birthday for Steve & Hayli. They share their Birthday with each other and also Grandma Karen (my Dad's wife). How fun to have 3 people born on the same day. We love you so very much and hope you all had a very great Birthday.

Kenli's first day back to PRE-SCHOOL

Kenli walking out of school. She was so excited to be back to school this year :)

So Proud of what she did at school :) They made a ROBOT

Kenli loves school and could not wait till it started again. Through the whole summer she kept asking when school would start again. Her best friend Brookie is in her class. They played during the summer but I guess it just wasn't enough for the two of them. I'm just so happy Kenli loves school so much. What a great attitude she has already for school and I hope she keeps it up for years to come.

I figured out how to do a video of pics....

Missing my Grandma & Grandpa Mayne

Joseph & Ivy Mayne


I was doing laundry today and came across the nightgown that was my Grandma's. I love wearing this nightgown its so comfortable and reminds me so much of her. I miss my Grandma and Grandpa Mayne so very much. Growing up we had so much fun living just a house away. We went fishing together, camping, lots of Sunday dinners and just walking home from school and seeing them working in the yard. One thing I miss is listening to General Conference and Picking Apples...the occasional apple that would strike you in some way or another from Grandma giving it a little toss. Playing UNO at fish lake or any other fun place with them and being able to see Grandpa's cards in his glasses because they would be sliding down his nose. Grandma making HOMEMADE bread and how her house smelt when you would come over. (which I later learned was RHODES!) The many parties we would have that would end in a water fight and all would participate.

I just want to say how very much I love and miss my Grandma & Grandpa...I can't wait for the day that we will meet again. I love you and miss you please watch over my family and I while you are away from us. Love always!!!
