Tea Party

Eliza got a princess tea set for her birthday and ever since she got it Ty was begging me to get it out so we could have a tea party. So before school one day we got it out and had a quick tea party.

Eliza is Two Years Old

A little bit about our sweet Eliza:
-Weight-20 lbs (1%)
-Height-32 in (7%)
-Loves mac and cheese, noodles, spaghetti, cheese, chicken nuggets, fries, grilled cheese sandwhiches, quesadillas, rice, crackers, craisins, apples, chips, milk, juice ect... (she is still pretty picky but getting better)
-She loves her baby dolls and has to sleep with them at nap time and bed time.
-She takes a 2-3 hour nap during the day and goes to bed at 8 pm and wakes up between 7:30-8.
-Really likes to play with her kitchen
-Loves, loves, loves her blankie
-Loves shoes(and is very particular about which ones she wears), purses...anything girly
-Loves books and reads to herself all the time.
-Anytime music comes on you can find her dancing...she loves music.

-Still doesn't talk a lot but says peek-a-boo, mama, dada, thank-you, Tyson, I love you, night-night, purple, blue, uh-oh (those are the main ones I can think of)

-She growls for every animal

-She enjoys nursery
-Loves to brush her teeth
-She is sassy and if she doesn't get her way plug your ears and watch out-she will scream and throw herself about.
-She can hold her own...especially Tyson and knows exactly how to push his buttons. She loves Ty and hates when he is gone...or when we drop him off to school.
-Has the sweetest little personality and the cutest smile.

"Two" Sweet Celebration

We had such a great time celebrating Eliza's 2nd birthday. I came up with the theme of A "TWO" Sweet celebration. Eliza can smell candy and sweets from a mile away so we had a little candy buffet at her party along with cupcakes and ice cream. She got spoiled rotten with a few things for the play kitchen, Minnie Mouse, a tea set, a stroller and a doll, clothes and other girly things. She had a great time with all her family and friends.

Hazlett Family Update

Mike has been very busy with school. He is in his last semester of school. He will be done this December but will walk at graduation in April. We are both so ready for this to be done. I am ready to have a husband back and the kids are ready for their dad to be back. There are many days the kids go without seeing their dad so they are ready to be able to spend some more time with him. Mike spends most of his time working, going to school, and doing homework. On the side when he has a little bit of time he enjoys rooting for the Kansas State Wildcats football team. He is the 11 year old primary teacher and loves to teach those kids.

Chari is very busy with taking care of the house, the kids, and her calling. She was just called a couple months ago to be the 1st counselor in the primary presidency. It is very busy but so much fun. Getting used to teaching sharing time has been the biggest hurdle. She is also busy teaching for Ty's joy school. She is busy taking care of household needs, christmas projects, and other fun projects. She is in an FHE lesson swap group. She has recently taken up sewing and learning that new skill.

Tyson is loving going to his little joy school twice a week. He also loves attending the library once a week for story time and to pick out new books and movies. He loves to go to playgroup to play with all his friends. He has been having fun playing outside with some new friends that just moved into our complex. He currently loves anything fireman/firetruck related, still loves tractors, trains, and garbage trucks. He loves bob the builder and Handy Manny and still loves Curious George and Thomas the train. He loves to read and look at books. He is such a good helper to me and little Eliza and is the best boy a mom could have. He makes me laugh every single day.

Eliza is about to turn 2 in a couple of weeks so there will be a big update in a couple weeks about her. But she is such a girly girl. She loves to play with her brother and loves books and anything girly. I will leave the rest for her 2 year update. We love our silly little Liza.

First Snowy Day

Tyson was so excited for the snow to come. I told him yesterday that it was going to snow. So this morning when he got up even though it started off by just raining he got his hat, gloves, boots, and coat on and said I want to go play in the rain and snow. I told him he would have to wait until after school and he was not happy about that. So right after school he said look there's snow, lets go play. Well I am not a huge fan of being cold and playing in the snow so I convinced Mike to take him out and they had a lot of fun. Tyson was SOOO excited to be out in the snow. I just love to hear Ty laughing and having fun. It makes my heart happy. Tyson can't wait to go back out tomorrow so he can build a snowman. Hopefully I can convince Mike to take him out again.

 

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Mike. Mike had to work and go to school on his birthday so his hour break in between we celebrated by opening presents and having birthday cake. Mike got a Kansas State shirt and some cash from the kids and I. Mike and I celebrated last weekend by going on a date to red lobster for their all you can eat shrimp. Mike was in heaven.
