beautiful blue skies...let's go for a walk!

so for family night last night
we decided to go for a walk
it has been rather rainy
but yesterday it seemed to have cleared up
we wandered over to marshalls, sports authority, and shaws grocery to get a redbox
as we are leaving i feel a drop or two and don't think much of it
it progressively got worse, and then all of a sudden
we were consumed in this crazy downpour
we laughed and ran
hazel babbled and loved it
and we got home a little wetter but all in one piece
it was great

note to the sun: please come visit us soon

harvard...where smart people go

a few weeks ago
brandon had a little work in boston area
so we made a date out of it
we ate sandwiches in this awesome cafe,
dance along the river (joined a party with music),
and went on a great walk just around sunset
this was all right around harvard
it's a beautiful campus!

family photo op

this weekend we were kind of home bodies

but we had so much fun

i crafted up a storm

and now have like a hundred baby hair clips in my living room

along with zebra drapes in hazel's room

well...almost finished drapes

for our date on friday we walked to the mall

yes we only live like a mile from the mall

and it was a gorgeous night

so we just walked

hazel loves her stroller and fell asleep by the ride home

these are photos from saturday

we got hazel all dressed up

and were about to take pics

then decided we should join her for a few

then snapped away until the mosquitos drove us insane

eating and brushing

i don't know if babies can have wheat pasta

but she had some

just a few bites

i've started letting her have a few bits of our dinner

so she gets used to different tastes

she liked the spoon better than anything

and insisted on trying to feed herself...yeah right

another day i was brushing my teeth and she seemed to think it was some fun toy

so i grabbed and extra dry toothbrush

and she gave herself some minty fresh clean gums

funky baby

i got this hat at this strawberry festival/craft fair last saturday

hazel was so fascinated with it

i let her play right after her bath

(hence the lack of clothing)

man...i can't get over how adorable she is

hanging lights

hazel has these three hanging lights in her room

they are eyelet lace style, but you can't tell in the pic

i caught her eyeing them the other day

and couldn't get over how cute it was

so brandon grabbed the camera

yum...who said eating healthy couldn't tast good

brown rice topped with sauteed peppers and chicken, and a salad with a generous portion of fruits on top with fat free poppyseed dressing...delish

Pretty Girl

Here she is, dressed to the T for church

wearing a little dress straigh from thailand

(thanks to jeanene and papa keith)

i'm a finalist!!ahh!!!

i found out that my tables from my furniture design class got accepted as finalists in a national competition
crazy! i'm so excited
they are flying me to vegas in july for the show
so hazel and i are going to go party
anyone want to join us?

i made these in my furniture design class at byu
made of 3 layers bent over a form
with glue between each layer
i created the design graphically then had it laser cut out
and this is what the final creation looks like
