Once upon a time there was a happy little preschooler named Tommy who was in dirt pile heaven one day when a load of top soil was dumped onto the driveway of his family's lovely home in
North Salt. Also living the lovely home in North Salt Lake there was a cute little first grader named Betsy who loved to serenade her mother in the mornings especially with the "Six Pink Peppermints Till Christmas" song in December . . . there was a cute little 4th grader named Shelly who started taking piano lessons that year . . . and there was a cute little 6th grader named Emily who did a history fair project about the Wright Brothers with her best friend, Jackie.
In addition there was a pretty preschool teacher
(also known as Mommy) who was quite excited when she got to play on a real baby grand piano at Uncle Roger and Aunt Jeannette's wedding reception. And there was a handsome, hardworking banker (also known as Daddy) who was released as the bishop of the ward after four plus years and was a Gospel Doctrine Teacher in Sunday School for a little while before he became the Stake Clerk for a long while! And there was a new family member named Aunt Claudine who moved into the lovely home in North Salt Lake temporarily while she worked in Salt Lake City in the daytime and went to school at night. However, she was not the only new person to come to live in the lovely home in North Salt Lake.

After one long, hot summer where the handsome, hardworking father was forced to buy an air conditioner for their lovely home in North Salt--his very chubby and hot, tired wife had another baby. They had agreed (not) that if the baby was a boy, they would name him Jerry so that they could have a Tom and Jerry after the famous University of Utah basketball players. (Or was it after the funny cat and mouse cartoon characters at the time?) They had also agreed (sort of) that if it was a girl they would name her Harmony because the handsome, hardworking father had always wanted a Harmony. The chubby, hot, tired wife agreed that if they had twin girls one of them would be named Hayley and one would be named Harmony. Lo and behold, only one baby girl was born on the lovely Friday morning of September 16 in 1988. It turned out that Hayley was the very last baby born to this little family, but even without a Harmony, they all lived happily ever after!
Happy Wednesday!
Love, Hayley's Mommy
