Congratulations Hayley And Aaron

Congratulations to Hayley and Aaron who are expecting there first baby around April 24th 2013. There were a lot of strange events that happened around that time and i want to talk about them for a minute. It seems that at certain times little things happen to us. Its like my mum is trying to tell us that she is aware of what is going on in our lifes at that time. For those of you that read my post on her anniversary of her death will know what i mean. And since then myself, my girls and my dad have had things happen to remind us that she is stil sharing things with us. Well anyway on the day that Hayley found out she was pg. She was in deep deep shock and went to the car to drive to the store. She turned the radio on and the song that came on was A New Day by Celine Dion. Some of you may know that that was a song that is very special to my mum and to us. My mum loved that song and its the song Lucy did her solo too. It was also the song that played when we all walked behind her coffin into the chapel at her funeral. Since then at certain times it comes on. Like her year anniversary, or her birthday, mothers day, our birthdays or when Lucys having a hard time it will come on. Anyway Hayley turned the radio on and there it was playing. She said she sat in the car and cried and cried. She just knew that her Nanny who loved her so much was letting her know she knew about her happiness that day. Hayley found out on the sunday and didnt tell me till the following thursday. She had wanted to do something face to face which is hard when shes in Hawaii. lol. That week everytime i opened my facebook this picture below came up thoughout the day. I just liked it everytime and didnt do anything with it. On thursday morning i woke up and turned my phone on and this picture came up. I didnt even know facebook was signed in. I got the strangest feeling that i needed to do something with it. So i shared it on my status and wrote a few words about my mum and her still being able to spend time with her great grandbabies. All day it kept playing on my mind and everytime i turned on facebook there it was. It was strange like it was talking to me. As soon as i got home i did a blog post about it. You may have read it. It was called What is Jayson laughing at. It was less then two weeks ago. Right after i finished it. I went to the store with Ralph and Hayley called me. She hadnt seen my blog but she had seen that i had it on facebook and she just had to tell me she was pg. Lol. I thought it was just crazy that i had just done a post and then she was telling me this. Of course i was totally thilled and swore to silent as Aaron was away at training and she wanted his family to know also before we told to many people. She did also call her two sisters after me so that made it easier for me. lol. Anway that evening i turned the TV on and you guessed it. The song was on there on a show. Other people were singing it but there it was. I then went and told my dad about all these crazy things that were happening with the song etc and that Hayley had experience it sunday. He got tears in his eyes and said that he had turned the radio on that day also and it had been playing and he felt like she was trying to tell him something. I know some people might think we are crazy but this happens everytime something is going on in our lifes. If we are sad, happy or whatever. Its like she tries to tell us SHE KNOWS. Thats what we really think it is. If you read my post a few weeks ago you will see how crazy it was that i wrote that right before i found out Hayley was pg. Just crazy. But im so glad that my mum is still able to share in the wonderful news of a new grandbaby. She loved Hayley so much and i know she was just going crazy up there too when it was decided to send a little spirit down to her. Im sure its someone my mum aproved of. lol.. But we are so thillled for Hayley and Aaron. I guess we will be getting grandbaby number 4 in Feb from Jay and Emmalee and then grandbaby number 5 from Hayley and Aaron in April. So excited. We have already booked to visit them in jan so Hayley and i will be hitting the stores to baby shop. Also her sweet friend Chelsea who i totally love is going to do a baby shower in jan in Hawaii when im there so i wont miss out on that. Isnt that so cool of her, it was her idea. Love you Chelsea! (she has the cutest little girl too that was born last april).. Anyway that kinda stops the reception for next summer but i am hoping that Hayley and Aaron will still do something to celebrate there wedding for people that wasnt there in Jan.Carole is doing a Bridal Shower when they are
here this month and maybe we can not only have a baby shower next summer when they visit with the baby but maybe we should do just a meal or something somewhere like at Gardner Village or something for family and friends that missed out on her wedding. A time for them to not only celebrate there wedding but the birth of there child. Its up to Hayley of course. She may also just do a renewal of vows in a few years instead but i thought this other idea might be fun too. But up to them. Of course if goes without saying that i will be heading back to Hawaii in May sometime to visit my new grandbaby. Want to give them a few weeks together and for her to recover of course but am excited to have that other trip to look forward to also. Of course they may be in another state but we will see where he is posted hopefully in the next few months. But again just wanted to stay congrats to them both and we are so happy for them both. There baby really hit the jackpot getting them as parents. What a lucky little boy or girl. Oh they would rather it not be posted on facebook until they have there ultrasound so please only do congrats to her private. But im glad Aarons home and everyone knows and its not a secret anymore and that i can finally post it on here. Yay for Grandbabies.

This last picture was taken Dece 27th 2009. The day before my parents flew out and just mins before Hayley flew out to Hawaii. You can see Hayleys teary eyes. Hayley cried and cried after this as she kenw it would be the last time she would see her. I made sure that day to take as many pictures as i could of the kids with her one more time. She passed away two weeks later. Love you mum.
