Still my baby

As my kids grow they really grow out of naps fast!!  My older kids were done with naps by 2 1/2 years old.  Hazel is almost 2 and she only takes about 3 naps a week.  I am usually pretty desperate and try to rock her to sleep without any luck.  If I put her in bed while she's awake its about a 50/50 chance that she will just talk for an hour.  So I cherish the moments that remind me she is still small and still my baby:)

Swimming in February

Fun with daddy

The kids got Skylanders for Christmas.  This has been something fun for them to do with Daddy!  They love spending any time they can with him, even if it mean they are climbing all over him.

First chapter book

Rhylan received her first chapter book for Christmas, Junie B Jones.  She is an excellent reader and is reading well above average for a 1st grader. This was the first day she started reading her book.  I loved watching her and listening to her giggle as she read.

Hazel

Hazel's little personality is really starting to show!  She is one funny little girl with a spunky attitude.  Terrible two's are hitting hard and she can often be found throwing a huge fit!  But other times she is a great helper like these moments:

Swiffer

Active Tablet User

Potato Wrangler (she actually pulled them out and put them back in over and over again)

Cozy sleeper-she loves to sleep with all these stuffed animals.  This particular day they HAD to be under her head.

Flying high and day dreams

These kids spend so much time on their new trampoline!  They are finding new ways to jump every day.  They are even using it for other activities: bubble blowing station, club house, cloud watching area, wrestling arena, fort, etc.  BEST.GIFT.EVER!

Madera canyon snow

Forever ago (March 1) we went on a hike in Madera Canyon.  We actually saw snow on the top, but never got close enough to touch.  My kids love being outside so it was a fun family outing for us.

Family date

Just a fun family hike up Madera Canyon:)
