BYU and Gonzaga vs. the Rain

Last Saturday we got tickets to the BYU v. Gonzaga baseball game and Alumi tailgate party before. The tailgate party was a blast. Balloons, stickers, Cosmo, J-Dawgs, etc kept the girls very entertained. Check out these cute little cougars!

 Just was we were about to head over to the stadium for the game it started pouring. A half hours of hiding in the car, about 2 inches of rain, and an hour rain delay later they started the game. By then we were all a bit damp and it was still raining on and off. Needless to say we only make it though about 2 1/2 innings of the game before the girls were too cold and we headed out. It was fun while it lasted but the final score of this game was Rain - 1, Ballards - 0.

Walkin' and Rindin'

 The other day the girls and I had a fun little walk up the street like this....

 Hazel riding on her bike,

and Eliza pushing the walker. Right as I snapped this picture was honestly the only time Eliza stopped smiling from ear to ear. She loves her walker and is so close to taking her first steps on her own!

No more helmet hair...

As of Friday all of Eliza's head measurements are within normal limits and she is done with her helmet! After 78 days of wearing it her head looks amazing. Check out the before and after pictures:

 From the profile pictures you can really see how the flattening on the back of her head was affecting her whole skull. See how far her ear is shifted forward in the before picture?

The adjustment to not wearing the helmet has almost been harder than the adjustment to wearing it. Since Eliza went from barely crawling when she got her helmet to now crawling, standing, and scooting along things she had become rather reckless. Why be careful when bonking your head doesn't hurt? So, she is slowly learning that she does actually need to watch her head haha.

Of princesses, glass slippers, and everyting girly...

 Hazel has hit the princess phase. It has been coming on for a while but now she is in full force. She literally believes she is a princess. And thanks to Cinderella she is obsessed with growing up and marrying the prince. She tells us, "When I grow up I will be taller then I can reach (the door) so I can get married in the temple!" and "There will be bells when I get married in the temple!" It's so cute! I'm glad that she has the part about getting married in the temple down:)

She has been asking about my wedding dress a lot so the other day I let her try it on. She was in heaven! She even put on the heals and successfully walked around for a few minutes. I was impressed.

Two more cute princess quotes...

Hazel has been pretending a pink comb is her magic wand when she is the fairy godmother. Well the other day we were stuck in major traffic and I was annoyed. She took out her comb and said, "I will make these cars move. Bibbity-Bobbity-Boo!"

One night Hazel kept talking about her favortie princess (which changed from minute to minute). Mike's sister Alicia asked her "Who is your favorite prince?" to which she replied "Daddy!!!" Good answer Hazel. Good answer!
