Halloween 2013

 Start of the season....pumpkin patching with the cousins!  Even though we had 7 of our own home grown pumpkins, couldn't miss the tradition of hunting for the perfect pumpkin with the cousins!
 Trick or Treating with her bestie, Hazle Isabella!! 
 Her Kindergarten class all decked out in Halloween costumes for their "Boo Breakfast" party!  

Our little Pippi!!!  We had a photo booth and each kiddo had their picture taken and then decorated a photo frame.  At end of the day they got to take home a picture of them in their costume! 

Happy Birthday Daddy

Helping Daddy blow out all of the 48 candles!!

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!








Yep, it is true.  Today is Hazel's first day of Kindergarten.  So hard to believe that we have reached this monumental day in our lives.  She woke early, so we had plenty of time to get ready.  She, who usually takes forever and a day to eat a meal and get moving, was dressed, hair combed, and breakfast eaten by 7:05!   We were out the door at 7:30 and walked with her buddy, Coleman, to school.  They walked, ran, jumped all the way there.  It was a jumble of energy at the school, but the best kind.  All happy faces around.  Hazel got right to her desk, put her name tag on, put her picture up on the "question of the day" board (today, "are you excited about kindergarten?"  Yes of course!), and got right to work coloring a picture.  Very proud to tell us how well she was staying in the lines!  She was smiles, no tears.  Gave a thumbs up as we said our goodbyes.  No tears from Mama, Daddy said he had to hold back some at one point.  But now as I write this and look at the pictures, and not hear her little voice in the house, tears are streaming down my face.  So amazing how one little person can fill your heart.  She is amazing, while amazing me every day!  Go Hazel, we are soooo proud of you!!

All Dressed Up


We went to see Jen get married and Hazel was pretty close to stealing the lime light from the bride!  She wore her very fancy dress and had her hair in a up-do! She had a blast with her cousins eating, drinking, and dancing!





Fireworks Fantastic!



No Fourth of July is complete without some home done fireworks if you are Hazel.  She invited her friend Coleman from across the street to help us with the fun.  This picture really shows the two sides of fireworks...Hazel found them noisy, ears plugged while Coleman has his hands on his cheeks in awe!!  They play so nice together, glad they moved into the neighborhood.  Fingers crossed they get into the same kindergarten class.


Look Mom, No Training Wheels

Mark today on the calendar!  Hazel took her first ride without training wheels and is now ready for the Tour de France.  Do we still have time to get her over to France??   
Amazing.  Now a few words from the bicycle princess herself....

Mother's Day Tea

For Mother's Day Hazel's Pre-K class put on a show for their Mom's.  They sang us lots of beautiful songs that they had learned and practiced.  They also made us lovely necklaces and then served us treats.  It was wonderful!
