Silliness

Her new style of wearing her shirt.

Ahhh the fun she had with Grammy and Auntie Donna on Xmas eve while Mommy and Daddy were at work! She shares a fondness for peanut M & Ms like her Grammy and they enjoyed some together. Auntie Donna took this to prove to Hazel that her tongue really was blue!

Rockin around the Christmas Tree

Kept trying to get a picture of Hazel in front of the tree...thought might happen with Auntie Donna and Grammy joining her! That little one just doesn't stop moving!

Feeding Ducks

Had to get the Californians out in the cool, crisp Oregon air first day after arrival! Hazel wanted to go feed ducks so she took her Uncle Bob, Aunt Carol, Aunt Donna, and Grammy to the park. Had a short, but fun time playing before that called uncle!

Yes...She Ate a Carrot

It is our nightly dinner ritual with Hazel to have her "try" a veggie. This particular wet wintery night she took us up on it and actually ate one carrot circle! From that moment on she will tell you that "Carrots are my favorite vegetable".

Painting Lucy's Nails

Hazel wanted to "paint" her baby's nails, so she busted out her water colors and gave Lucy a manicure and pedicure.

The Royal Family

We made these on a rainy afternoon after reading about Kim and Carrots making crowns in her Babybug magazine.

Hippo Song

This is a song that Hazel learned at library story time.

Shhhh

Went to wake lazy bones from her nap (I know, but it was 4pm! Time to get up!).
She was snuggled up with Lucy, her baby, (dressed in her witch outfit). It was almost a shame to rouse her, they looked soooo cute!

Making Funny Faces

Striking her most silly face!

Birthday!

Getting ready to help me blow out my candles!

Showing me the beautiful card she made just for me! Love the glitter!! She is all about the bling bling.

She was so excited about these pjs she and Daddy found. Apparently she picked them out all by herself at the store. Jim tried to sway her to a more grown up pair, but she was sold on the Hello Kitty! I love them, they are warm!!

Singing Happy Birthday

Ha

The three goblins out foraging for treats! Hazel made out very well and even received a couple "special" treats from some dear neighbors. Love our neighborhood!

JoJo doing her "hissy" cat hands.

Baby Winston and his daddy, Chino, at the parade with the Crazy Hazie doing her famous Witch Hat Dance.

Hazie with some of her girlfriends at the parade. Fiona in the wagon and Zena the Warrior Princess, aka "the Other Hazle". So cute all the kids in costumes running around!

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!

Isn't she the cutest little pirate???!! Confused? Hazel wanted to be a pirate, so we made her a costume and she talked for weeks about being a pirate, but wouldn't wear it at all! Last minute, she decided to be a witch! This is her costume from her 1st Halloween!

Doing the Zombie at the Monster March.

Hazel with her cousins: Jojo and Nate.

Is 2 years Too Young for Chores??

Hazel and I made a pumpkin pie and she "helped" me clean up by doing the dishes. After 10 min of moving water back and forth, the bowl was actually pretty clean!

Fall is Here

Hazie's New Kitty....Frida

So the balance has been somewhat restored to our house with the addition of Frida. Pancho and Diego are missed dearly every day, but this little kitty has been homeless for about 2 months now and we felt it was our place to change that and give her a home. She is a sweetheart at the core, but very rough around the edges having been on the street for awhile. It will be interesting getting her and Jasper to be friends.

More Amusement!

Told you she loved the Carousel...we rode it 3 times

Amusement!

Hazel took us to the Oaks Bottom Amusement Park to ride the rides. She firmly didn't want to go on the Roller Coaster, too bumpy, but loved the Carousel, train, and slide.
