Hazel turns 2!!

I can hardly believe my baby is 2!!  She is such a fun part of our family.  She is the comedian and is always looking for a laugh.  We call her Hazel Bug most of the time.  Hazel remembered how to open presents and wasted no time opening all of them right away.

Learning ABC fish, Little bunny family, Daniel Tiger figurines, Bubble Machine and bubbles, and a toy made by Rhylan.

We had to try out the bubble machine right away!

Then it was cake time.  She still really loves Minnie Mouse.  She wasn't too sure about the candles and needed help, but she didn't need help digging into her cake!

Birthday party

For Hazel's birthday we went to the zoo! I didn't bring a stroller and we let her lead us around.  We all had a great time hanging with the birthday girl.

Pima Air and Space

Toy room camp out

 

Sometimes my phone can take really aweful pictures!

Sunglasses

Hazel went a couple days where these sunglasses were not out of her sight!! Yes even nap time.

Cougar encounter

Gracin and Hazel looked like tasty snacks for this cougar one day at the Desert Museum/Zoo.  He came right up to the glass and was staring them down and pacing.  Freaky but cool.

Hazel loves Frenchy

Hazel is always trying to sneak in to see Frenchy (and make a big mess) in Rhylan's room.  She seriously adores her.  Frenchy I think is terrified of Hazel.

Learning to help

Gracin is now in-charge or unloading the silverware from the dishwasher.  I often find my drawer looking like this:) But at least I didn't have to unload it!!

Game night

I sometimes feel like I don't get enough time with Rhylan.  She goes to school at 6:50am then comes home at 2:30.  After that I am putting Hazel down for nap, helping with homework and making dinner.  I've started to plan a game after dinner with the kids.  It's been fun and they really look forward to it.  This is one of the new games we bought.  Gracin also enjoys playing it be himself throughout the day.

Learning colors

I have been helping Hazel learn the colors lately.  She loves it!  I found her matching these blocks all by herself one day.  She's a smarty just like her siblings:)
