Another day....

Days fly by so fast its almost like I forget they started, and then they are over. Our kids are growing up so fast, I feel like if I blink I will miss something special. The kids grow up so fast, and so smart.
Kita is going to be in Jr. High next year I AM NOT READY. As much as she is I AM NOT. We have a good relationship I hope it always stays this way. She is going to start some dance classes, and I think she is excited. She is such a good big sister. Even though they fight everyday they grow together too.
Kalvin will be in 4th grade next year and attending a new Elementary. He doesn't have as many opportunities down in the elementary they are in right now. There are no Higher educated classes which KJ needs to keep his mind stimulated and busy all the time. He is beyond ready for football to start even though its not until the end of the summer.
Renati is going to be 4 at the end of May. She wants a Princess Party!! She keeps us beyond busy. She if very smart and always on the go. I am trying to find a school for her to attend next year to keep her busy. She cant stand to see everyone else go to school and she isn't.
Myself & Ren are just taking everything one day at a time. As a couple I think we have grown more respect for eachother in the last 6 mths, but more in the last 4. Alot of people wonder if we have issues between us. But the thing is we are stronger now than we ever have been. We both put eachothers interest in front of our own. Which someones can be the wrong thing to do I am sure but it balances us out.
We are excited for June 6th. We did have our special day in Vegas on 1/20/09 and this will be a special day for the family, kids, and my parents.

Renasia, We all love you all around the world and back again! There isn't a day that goes by when aren't thinking about you!

Help with our MS Walk!!

Everyone,

Our Family has decided to join the walk for MS!As most of you know our family deals with MS on a daily basis, the struggles, ups, and downs. However we also deal with the benefits we receive from the MS Society. Without the MS Society as a part of our daily lives we don't know what we would face each day.Ren has made tremendous progress on a daily basis thanks to the MS Society.So, we are sending this email to all of you to ask for your assistance in this Walk.

If you would like to join us in walking on April 25,2009 (Saturday) in Ogden we would appreciate it. Also, if you could assist us with reaching our goal of $500.00, now its our FIRST year we would love to exceed this amount with all of your help.We are not asking for any specific amounts anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated. This is a Cause where those with MS see the benefits, we want to give back also help those in the future with all the researches etc being done.

Please help us raise money for Team Hackley! If you can also pass this email on to your co-workers, friends, and family to help us it would be greatly appreciated!!

With Love, The Hackley's

My Little/Big Bro Korbin

As everyone know this is my Little/Big Brother Korbin. I say Little/Big because he is younger than me but Taller than me. He attends Cottonwood High School and plays Basketball, and Track for his School. He also plays on a AAU Team that travels and plays other states which gives him plenty of opportunities to be seen by other Colleges and Scouts.
Were going to Vegas this week to watch him play in a Tournament its so exciting to him grow up so fast! More to come about him......

Mr and Mrs Hackley

Nati & Ren- Where do I start with Us?
Most of you know we did in fact RUN to Vegas on
1/20/09 to get married. We had our reasons. However, we are going to do a vow renewal on 6/6/09 so that our kids can be a part of the ceremony, my dads can have the opportunity to walk me down the aisle. Of course I want to put on the pretty dress and walk down that aisle..But more so to have a semi bachlorette party. LOL :)

Me and Ren have grown so much in the last few months with what we have been through. Sometimes it doesn't seem like were making progress in regards our grief, but our relationship has grown stronger. We have more respect for each other. Without eachother I dont know where we would be today. We cherish everything we have now and don't take anything for granted. I have expressed to everyone how much Ren means to me and the kids. He is the best thing that was brought into our lives. The father the children need and want!

As a family we will continue to keep everyone updated with our lives. I think this will be much easier than sending out updates!

The Kids!

Where do you start with 3 very different crazy brother and sisters!

Nakita- She is 12 yrs old (thinks she is 21) But who doesn't at this fun age? She is definetley her Mother's Daughter. She will help with anything we need. (without a fuss? YEAH RIGHT) But she does like to be very helpful. Kita will be 7th grade next year, and going to a new area Butler Jr. High. I think she will have many more opportunities there than in our area. I don't know who is more scared me or her? Probably me. The thought of your 1st born who was once your baby is

going to be Jr. High. I know she will make the right choices in life with our guidance as parents.

She has worked so hard to improve her grades, and prove to herself that she can do it. We are going to sign up for Dance, gymnastics, ballet, and Hip Hop! Her passion is dancing and just being in the light. She also wants to play Volleyball in Jr. High and continue on! She can do anything she puts her mind to.

Kalvin- He is 9 yrs old. He is in the 3rd grade and his teacher has made comments that he should skip a grade and be in advanced classes. However, his school doesn't offer either. He will also be changing schools next year Butler Elementary. Up there they have plenty of excelled learning classes which is what he needs to keep himself busy! He completes all the work and gets bored. He always needs something to stimulate his mind! If it's not playing PS2, crossword puzzles, computer games, reading and drawing pictures.

Kalvin loves to play sports. He had is 1st year of Football last year and can't wait for the next year to start. He also played Basketball for the first timeand enjoyed that. He is a natural when it comes to sports. We offered him to play FLAG Football and he said NO it's boring. Which is funny because he loves to hit, tackley,and run the ball! Were looking forward to the new season starting soon.

Renati- She is 3 yrs old and will be 4 in May BUT with her you look at her and think she is 7! She is tall obviously gets that from Mom and Dad. She is so smart you don't realize you are even talking to a 3 yr old. Were going to start her into Pre-School this next school year which will be awesome for her to get a headstart and be smart!

She loves to dance, sing, yell, jump, play with my IPOD, oh and she thinks he plays Soccer. She tells us she has her own team and they practice all the time! Were trying to get her signed up so she can realy be on a team! Psst just so you know she is the MINI REN! Well shouldnt even say MINI because nothing on her is small.:)

Renasia would be 5 mths. old today!

As a Mother you always want to protect your children from anything such as falling down, scraping their knee, getting picked on, and doing anything that can put them in any kind of danger.
As a Parent you plan to live longer than your children because you want to raise them and then to raise their kids, and for them to then help you when needed.
But I know for a fact ONE thing a parent never expects to do is bury their own child. Or the thought never crosses your mind you will loose one.
As most of you have read numerous times Renasia was definetley my Miracle Baby she wasn't suppose to be here since I had my tubes tied. BUT, God decided she needed to come down and make it know she was Truly a Miracle and take care of businss while she was here. Then when she came I thought why would God give me this Miracle baby and then make her be sick. Was it really to show what a Miracle she was? Was it to prepare her parents for much worst. A parent never wants their child to be sick or in the hospital. When Renasia made it through that first week I KNEW she was here for a reason and that was to serve a purpose.
Just holding her could make you smile, she was so perfect in every way. Her sister's and brothers were so proud to have her there. They helped whenever they could and always wanted to do something for her. She made the worlds biggest impact on our family.
January 12, 2009 I can't even describe in words how much I almost wish I would never of woke up that day. I can truely say that was the WORST day of entire life! To know that you very special Miracle baby is going to return home because her job here was done is the worst feeling in the world.

Today being 4/5/09 Renasia would be 5 mths old. What does that mean to most parents?
~Trying to sit up
~Rolling
~Crawling
~making noises
~Smiling
All the fun exciting things in life a child brings are within those early stages of live.

I was robbed those moments. I was robbed the ability to take all those pics of all her 1sts and to fight with daddy to see who gets to see her roll first, or crawl, or say dada. All those were taken from me. Now this day 4/5/09 means another day of heart ache and another day of pain.
I try to be that strong Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, and Friend. But really inside I am that weak, sad, Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister and Friend.

Our family has been through a very tragic moment in life. But as a family we have also grown to love eachother even more! We have received a whole other type of love for eachother. I cherish every moment I have to look at my kids, see them breathe, walk, talk, and sometimes even talk back to me. Just thought of hearing their voice makes me so excited as a mother. If we didn't have eachother I honestly don't know where we would be!
