Crabbing 2014

We anxiously anticipated the annual family crabbing

trip this year cause Hazel was able to come with us.

We were so excited to show her how it's done

and she loved every minute of it.

We went to the Museum of Flight the day before 

and we got to spend some time with my dad.

It was a great weekend with lots of memories made.

 

 

 

 

I can't get over this picture of Holland and Chester. 

The nugget stayed with Berta & Dave and as you

can see, didn't worry about us for a minute.

We took Holl to breakfast on her birthday.

We told her she could pick out any donut she wanted.

Nothing could have prepared her for 

how happy she would be. 

She ate every sprinkle. 

This pic just perfectly captures her birthday joy.

Holland turned 2!

Our little h had her birthday. 

Those two years sure went by fast. 

She's a spunky and feisty little thing

and we sure love her.

Easter

The girls have loved learning about Easter along with the 

activities and traditions that come with this special holiday.

Hazel has asked some thought-provoking questions

about Jesus and His crucifixion. In talking about His

death and Resurrection, she got worried and asked, 

"Is Holland going to die?"

It was a parenting moment when you realize

your children understand more than you think they do.

We've also been through a little case of denial 

that Holland's just not a baby anymore. 

She's been protesting her crib and climbing out, 

which has helped us come to terms that she's a big girl now.

As we've gone about this Easter holiday,

we've been reminded how blessed we are to have the

knowledge of the gospel. We are grateful for 

The Savior's sacrifices that allow us to be

resurrected and live together as a family one day.

Tappity Tap!

Hazel had her first dance recital.

She has loved every minute of it and watching 

her on stage was so fun.

10 Princesses

Grandma put on a Bippity Boppity Boutique

for all her young granddaughters. 

It was the highlight of their whole Christmas break. 

I have to say,
it was a real highlight for us moms to see it all happen.

Kiari was sick so she couldn't come
but we sure missed her.

Santa

Jolly Old St. Nicholas was a real treat.

Hazel was star struck and Holland, well

you can see how she felt. 

Deck the halls!

Merry Christmas!

Sending our warmest wishes to those we love this holiday season. 

Love, 

Jason, Liza, Hazel & Holland

Toe Pick!

What else are we supposed to do when it's 20 degrees outside?

 

  

Our Hazelnut turns 4!

Happy Birthday to our sweet Hazel!
