One update, which should be a bunch.

I made this awesome Strawberry Shortcake dress and Hazel hated it. But now she is tolerating it. Probably because of the mad twirling.

I won, or more precisely, Hazel won, a fabulous dress from the Sew Mama Sew day giveaway at Bluebirds and Cherries. It is lovely and she looks great in it. She has actually taken to layering it with a multitude of outfits and it is adorable.

Ben and Zoe came to visit for a couple of days and one of the nights we had a cookout. It was good times and everyone ate a lot of marshmallows, hot dogs and char. Hazel was a bit worried when her marshmallow caught on fire.
But the cookie smores were delicious.
The worried eyebrows return. How can she be this concerned over toasted marshmallow and fudge-striped cookies?!?!
Here Hazel is demonstrating her guns. She needed them to help carry everything back in the house.
The kids, they are crazy.
Oh, so we had a bunch of leftover drywall and Geoff decided the best option would be to take it upstairs. Hazel was a good helper. This looks to me like a totally posed pictures but I just caught her in mid-stride.
Geoff fits in the tiny tent.
Hazel modeling her West Valley hair. Really, the entire scene is awesome. The ratty hair*, the belly, the naked baby. Perfect.
Geoff busted out laser tag. Hazel loves it. I believe this will soon be on the toddler issue of "Guns n' Lasers".

Unfortunately, or fortunately, she is not very good.
*Hazel had been wearing a hood all day, which is why her hair is so ratty. Normally, I like to keep it brushed.
