Hazel is 4!

Hazel turned 4 back in December! We had a fashion show dress up party! Seriously so fun! Now if I can just get my hands on the video of the fashion show!

Hazel's prayers have becoming more personalized these days, as in she doesn't repeat the exact phrase for every prayer. It is so adorable and sometimes hilarious to hear her concerns and wants. For example, on Sunday, Mitchell and Jason stayed home from church because Mitchell has a cough. Hazel is just getting over her cough so she asked why Mitchell is staying home because he is a little bit sick, but she is a little bit sick and going to church.. Valid question my Hazel... I responded in the best way I could and told her that Mitchell is more likely to get all the other kids sick because he likes to put things in his mouth. Her prayer then consisted of, "Please help Mitchell to not lick anything.."
Some other requests, "Please bless that we can paint tomorrow" "Please bless that Quinn and Reese can come play." "Please bless that we can go to Disneyland again."

I love the tender mercies of our sweet children. I guess she is learning how to pray, and this is only the beginning... :)

On another note a few of my favorites from Disneyland

Grandma Wagner

This post is long overdue, but better late than never. My Grandma Wagner passed away on October 11, 2015. She is missed but I am grateful for my knowledge of forever families and that I will see her again! We were able to visit her grave while we were home.

I was fortunate enough to go home for her funeral with the kids. It was so great to be around so much family and to feel the great love of my family and my grandmothers life

New year!

Happy new year my friends!! I hate getting so behind on my blog then I feel like I can't start blogging again. But my auntie Barbara (hey auntie Barbara!) told me it doesn't matter- I don't need to back blog, just start from where I am at! So here it goes. Welcome 2016!! I have not had a chance to set New Years resolutions, but I have decided this is one! My blog, which is also my journal. We were able to go to Disneyland with the Pickett clan for Christmas, and then spend some time in Napa with the Wagner side. It was so fun! Here are a couple pictures!

Sandpoint Idaho

At the end of September Hazel and I were lucky enough to head out to visit Diana and livi (jase and Ben too) in sandpoint Idaho. We flew into Spokane and spent Friday to Tuesday playing!! We went out exploring and site seeing the beautiful outdoors, shopped, ate delicious food, went on a couple runs, chatted, laughed, picked up like we never were apart. I got to see where my best friend is from, the place that makes her the happiest and even though it's far from me that makes me happy that she is where she wants to be!
