Carly Throughout the Years

As a mother brings into the world her child she hopes and wishes the best for the little one. She wants a life of happiness, success and peace for her. She wants her to be able to experience life to the fullest...Carly Denise Haynie

Fourth Child

Third daughter

born to LaVor and Michelle Haynie

Carly was born with a head full of dark hair.

When Heavenly Father takes something he always gives back more...

One of the hardest things I have done was to call my mother after Carly was born and tell her that Carly was born without a hand. I didn't want my mom to be hurt or worried but of course she was she is a mother. But throughout the years the relationship between my mom and daughter has grown into one that is very much like my own with my mom. My mom has held Carly's hand many times...

When we brought Carly home it was a good week before Jarom (he was 22 months) realized that she didn't have a hand. When he did finally notice it he ran across the room away from her and was afraid to come near. After time he came closer and looked at her hand and then slowly reached out and touched it...and all was okay.

I also remember being very hesitant to take her to church...I was worried that people would shun her and treat her different thinking that she wasn't perfect.

My first week to church a friend of mine pulled off the sock I put on her stub to cover it, held her stub in her hand and told me what a beautiful baby I had...

I never forgot that...she was and is beautiful.

Jarom and Carly

I love sleeping babies!Carly loves popsicle big sister Alisha is feeding her!

(Check out the infamous mohawk)

Carly always had a smile.

This picture was posted to remember" blankie" when she was pretty and pink.

Carly still sleeps with "blankie" to this day...ask Mike.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Carly and Jarom.

It was taken in the back yard of 8557 Schneple Drive, San Diego.

Same day with daddy.

Learning to sit...6 months.

Carly's smile covered her whole face...ear to ear.

Chicken pox!

She got one on her right eyelid and her eye was so swollen she had a hard time opening it up.

Jarom got the Chicken Pox the same time and so we had a very fun time...not! Aunt Debbie loved Carly!

Beautiful Utah summers.

Carly with daddy and Grandpa Brimhall.

5 year old When I sent Carly off to Kindergarten it was with some trepidation.

I know how cruel kids could be and I didn't want anyone to hurt her.

Her kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Tamara Smith and she assured me that she would do all that she could do to make sure that Carly had a successful year.

Below are pictures of a PTA meeting that her class performed a patriotic song and dance for. They came out marching and singing and at the very end the did a ripple where they grabbed each other's hand. The litle boy didn't even hesitate when it came time to grab Carly's hand. He took it and they did the ripple.

It was at this time with tears rolling down my cheeks (yes at the PTA meeting) that I realized that my daughter was going to be just fine and I had no reason to worry.

I know that little boy never knew what he did for me that day...

Here's a good picture of the prosthesis' that were made for Carly.

She could use them and she made them functional but she was always so much better doing things with her stub.

Heaven knows what she threw up to catch...

Never tell Carly she can't do something...

She came home and said she wanted to try out for Cheerleading.

I told her that she probably wouldn't make it, but she proved me wrong.

And she was the best cheerleader that Libery Middle School and Bob Jones High School ever had!

(of course I am not biased or anything)

9th gradeShe wanted to go to Homecoming with friends in 8th grade.

I made her a dress and did her hair.

She looks so grown up!

Jarom was her chaperone.

Carly's best friend Lauren Mills.

They were always doing something crazy like this mud fight...

Again I told Carly that she probably wouldn't win when she wanted to enter into the Miss Madison Beauty Pageant.

She won of course...1st place.
