we were headed to Kaos Pizza to eat dinner with a friend.

i didn't plan to take amazing photos.

but we were walking by some flowers

and i had hazel look at me & the flowers.

i sent them thru instagram

and voila!

where in the world is hazel my little baby

i made hazel lay on a piece of paper

and i traced her.

then we drew clothes and decorated.

when i had her do this, that drawing looked SOOOOO big!

where did my baby go?

 later that day we babysat ethan.

he is amazing.

he is 10mo old and wearing 2T clothes!

splash pad

 hazel, axel, and autumn

 add in aspen

 watermelon isn't messy...

autumn and i took the kids to the splash pad,

it's only $1 per person to get in, and we had so much fun!

A and I hadn't anticipated getting soaked... but we ran through the water more than the kiddos.

it was so much fun and we were all pooped!

june 18 & 19

oh hazel, you are so weird...

that's a plastic flower pot on her head...

 even though i made fun of kirstin so much

for liking these devilish cookies,

i ended up loving them and making ice cream with them

 the 19th it was super duper hot,

so hazel and i headed to Pirate's Cove

a mini-like water park.

she's still free, so i was down with going.

we were armed with snacks and sunscreen!

 we both had fun, but boy was she tired.

-

that evening we made corn

(but instead of on the grill b/c we had run out of propane, i had to make it in the oven)

7th anniversary

apparently the traditional 7th anniversary gift is copper or wool.

so cam could ave gotten me a penny or a sheep?

instead, we got a babysitter

and headed to the low country dining place on pearl street.

it was delish, and i am glad we are married :)

father's day

making ice cream :) with dad

 saturday we celebrated a little early for cam

and i purchased some lawrence free state brews while visiting sus.

so he got a little tasting!

 sunday on actual fathers day,

cam went to work on his dis. 

and h and i headed to church.

lawrence visit

after work saturday, i went to bed early after i packed the car up.

i woke up at 4am to drive to kansas to see sus and fefe.

i scoured pinterest for how to travel alone with a toddler...

and came up with:

pretty much have a billion different things available

prizes to unwrap every 30 min if need be

snacks

movies (of course the dvd player broke, but we had the ipad)

toys that she hadn't seen in awhile

and a new baby

-

i woke H up and we headed out, about 30 min late... but oh well.

she fell asleep for about 3 more hours, 

and i stopped halfway, Hays I think

we got a snack and played and got back in the car.

she was a champ, and we made it to the next big stop (whatever that was)

and got more food and played.

she fell asleep until right before we made it to sus's house.

she was amazing.

it really made we think, man we could do this a lot!!!!

 she was so excited to see her fefe

 we played in the water at alyson's house

and then headed to the big pool!!!!

mom hadnt made it yet.

 then momma got here!

we played bubbles, did a chia pet with chris, and ate sushi for dinner!

hazel didn't leave any edemame for us :(

 the next day we headed to kansas city

we dressed fefe all up :)

we ended up taking almost all this stuff off

bc he was getting too hot :)

 i can't remember the name of where we ate lunch

but it was delish

and everybody liked their food they ordered the best!

hazel had hummus.

 felix, you are so cool!

 hazel and i tried on matching hats...

they were toddler sized...

at the gap.

 then we headed to Glace for the best ice cream ever!!!!
between me, hazel, sus, and mom we ate 11 scoops!

 hazel fell asleep on the way home.

 then, instead of going to the pool,

we played in the sprinkler with the chickens.

 the next day we walked around lawrence

we went into the coolest toy store

i wanted to stay all day,

but it was getting to be dinner time.

so we walked to the burger place.

i snapped this pic of hazel in her dress from uncle dd.

 gosh, can these kiddos get any cuter!

it was a great trip

and i can't wait for another!
