Hazel is already six months! We made m&m cookies to celebrate-and ate too many of them!! 
These days Hazel is into anything and everything.



-She loves to be on her tummy (she never stays on her back anymore)
-We put her on her back during nap and bedtime, but she always rolls over to her tummy and sleeps like that.
-She scoots everywhere, but only going backwards
-She has started to bend her knees under herself and get up on all fours.
-She has crawled forward a few times but usually plops down on her tummy
-She is crazy- she likesto push up on her arms and straighten her legs behind her and stand on her toes (downward dog)
-Loves to suck on her pointer finger or stick her fingers in your mouth!
-Still takes two naps a day
-Sleeps from 8:15-8:30 pm...until 8:00 to 9:00 am.
- Loves to smile, coo, and watch her parents.

-Weighs 15.12 lbs (30th%)
-Height: 25.6 inches (36th%)
- Head Circumference 16 inches (11th%)






Our sweet friend, Naomi not only babysits Hazel so I can go to class, but also takes awesome pictures for us! We wanted to get a few graduation pictures taken before the big day and she captured exactly how we were all feeling! I am so excited to be almost done and I know Brice is so proud and happy to have a wife with a college degree. Let's hope I use my degree :)
Enjoy these snapshots!








This one will for sure be framed and hanging in our house!

We're working on finishing up my announcements and they should be sent out in the mail this Friday..if you have a new address and want an announcement- make sure to leave it in the comments!

Graduation is just around the corner. We have 9 school days left. I think I'm going to make it. 
I cannot wait for the semester to be over, to enjoy a weekend with my family, and to pack up our apartment for our summer in Seattle! While we're gone our apartment is being remodeled and I cannot wait to see it and put things back in order in a fancy little place! 

At the beginning of this semester I was overwhelmed and still fighting some crazy hormones- i think. Somehow we've survived and really enjoyed Hazel along the
way! I am so so so grateful for the lovely ladies that have babysat for me and have taken the biggest mental burden off of my mind.
Here's to 3 more tests, 4 Pilates lesson, and a practical exercise physiology test. 
The countdown continues...


Something about Easter and Spring makes you hopeful and happy! 
I know we love the spring colors, the sunny skies, the time with family, but most importantly we are so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ. What a miracle it was that he rose from the dead and how grateful we are today- for a living Christ! 
We enjoyed our Sunday worship, dinner with family, and a few sweet treats! 

Hazel enjoyed scooting all over the place. This girl can scoot backwards all day and is trying to get up on her knees to go forward. So far she's only moving backwards though and we're glad...its easier to keep track of her this way :)





Sometimes four p.m rolls around and I look at our weekly menu and whatever meal I have planned for that night just doesn't sound good. Combine that with Brice's excellent pizza dough and you have a family that's been eating homemade pizza on Saturday nights! 

We add whatever we have in the fridge- this week half was sausage, pepperoni, and cheese (Brice's half) and the other half was chicken, artichokes, and cheese (Breann's half).



And Hazel enjoyed her dinner naked!
...i just love her eyes in this picture...

Hazel and I drove down to Las Vegas this weekend for a very short little vacation. Melanie, Kris, Hazel and I stayed at a resort a few minutes out of the strip area. It felt like we were on a tropical island. We spent our time watching Aunt Chelsea play soccer, (she scored the winning goal in her first game!), shopping at the outlets, trying out her new swimusit, and swimming for the first time! Everyone loved being with Hazel and I was so grateful for a weekend away from the snow and school! Thank you Mom and Dad for helping us surprise Chelsea and thank you Melanie and Kris for making the trip happen!


I know it doesn't look like it but Hazel was loving the water. She was kicking those legs around and loved being in the pool. I think she was a little unsure about the sand under her feet though.



Lastly, It was just our luck- the GAP outlet was having a 50% off everything sale on Saturday (Gap may be my favorite store-but not the cheapest so its a treat). Hazel and I loved spending some of my birthday money on some new clothes. 
Icing on the cake guys.
This girl is making us happier and happier!
This girl is almost sitting up on her own.
This girl is laughing and smiling at everyone.
This girl is about to go on her first roadtrip! ahh
This girl makes me so happy!
