The Dreaded Walrus

I am not sure if it made the national news yesterday, but there was a walrus loose in Gilbert and unfortunatey was coming straight for my girls. Luckly they had red tubs to hide/play in all day to protect them from a walrus attack.

Because I am a shameless mom ....

and I think these pictures are really cute!

I found that other than mixing bread and having an amazing blender, seriously it is the best blender, my bosch is also amazing at putting my sick and fussy baby to sleep in seconds. I think I will be making a lot of bread until she gets better.

My nightly routine as of late

Feed Hazel ... check
Try to get Hazel to sleep ... check
Look in on Bailey ... check
Give Bailey a kiss ... check
Look in on Claire ...check
Make sure Claire still has clothes on .... BLAST!!!!!!

Well at least she has her diaper on this time.

Just beacuse I think this is a cute picture!

Look what I made!

Family Fun

Last week was a really fun week for our family. My mom had spring break at Harvard so she came home to meet Hazel. My girls love it when Grandma comes because she takes them on special dates, to buy candy at the Dollar Store, invites them over for sleep overs, you know all the important grandma stuff.

Later in the week Scotts parents and sister Kristi came from New Mexico to meet Hazel and visit the girls. We went to lunch, shopping and hiking.

Saturday we decided to have a girls day. My mom, Lauren, Celeste, Scotts mom, Kristi, Bailey, Claire and I all went to a local playhouse and saw a childrens production of Sleeping Beauty. The girls loved going out with the big girls and Aunt Lauren even made their day better by buying them fairy wands. After the show we went out to lunch and the girls got to drink rootbeer!

That night we blessed Hazel at my parents home since both sets of grandparents were leaving to go home the next day. Scott gave a beautiful blessing and Hazel didn't make a sound during the whole thing. I wish I could say the same about Claire who was telling everyone to close their eyes and fold their arms during the whole blessing. After the blessing we had a picnic in the backyard.

I feel so lucky to have so much family around me to support and love me and my little family.
