my friend from nursing school, susanne, and her family were headed this way for a wedding. they stopped by to see us for a bit before heading to the mountains. her middle kiddo was in the tornado and was only saved b/c her teacher laid on top of her. these kids are so good. and their parents are even better. they should move back here!!!

 the 5th i was on call

i moved around hazel's furniture a bit

and hung a curtain rod (finally after a year)

zoo & dresses

we went to the zoo

 we could go everyday.

she loves it so much!

 during naptime

i don't know how

but i whipped up a couple dresses with fabric i got

A LONG time ago.

model

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 :)
