Life Lesson

Before every meal we say a prayer and bless the food, and Hazel has always loved it- huge smile every time- but I never thought she really paid that much attention to it. But, as I'm learning more every day, never underestimate Hazel Henderson. Yesterday I made her lunch and sat down to feed it to her. Just as I was about to give her a bite, she looked at me, folded her arms, and just waited. Leave it to my one year old to remind me that I'd forgotten to pray.

the dream diet

who thinks chocolate, butter by the cube and cheetos make a good diet???

Hazel does!!

I blame her grandmother.

Happy Valentines Day!!

{and a shout out to my sweet hubby for a dozen red roses, my favorite box of chocolates and some rad sunglasses! Love you!!}

for the love of chairs

hazel is obsessed with sitting on chairs lately. usually it's the big ones at our house but at my mom's she found one just her size...she was in heaven!

Girls Day Out

For my mom's birthday she wanted to have a girls day last Saturday with me and my sister Amy and go cross-country skiing. We had so much fun- we saw a moose (which made mom go into a detailed and very funny looking plan of what we needed to do if it charged at us; let's just say it involved skis flying everywhere and all three of us stuck in the bushes), fell down lots of hills (mostly alisa), and managed to get the car stuck in the snow twice (you would think that would be a downside of the day, but in our family the stuff that goes wrong makes us laugh so hard that it makes the day even better. we're a strange bunch of grownups). It was so nice to just be us with no kids needing our attention. We went out to lunch after and even did a little shopping at Oneity. I love my mom and hope that she had as much fun celebrating her birthday as we did! Love you!!

p.s. shout out to the husbands for taking the kids! we have the best guys!


hidden moose...can you find him??

word of a New Kids On The Block reunion???

I only have one thing to say to that...

Best Super Bowl EVER!!

Hazel might be traumatized for life from all the screaming in my dad's basement- and her mom's screaming right in her ear- during those last 2 [incredible!!] minutes. The poor thing couldn't stop crying. If only she had a mom who could control herself during games...
