Egg Hunt

We had the cousins and cousins-in-law over for breakfast and an egg hunt!

Happy Easter

 We are getting into it.  This holiday is a lot more fun with kids!

18 Months

Wow! Times flies! Here is what the spicy bean looked like one year ago...

And here she is now...

Just a little bit more hair! And a few more teeth too.
And all I can say is this girl is BUSY! This is what I get for trying to do my hair! 

Rozzi is turning into quite the talker and is surprisingly a girly little girl.  She tries to put on lotion and perfume all the time and loves to push around the swiffer.  She was also caught vacuuming in a princess dress and refused to let go of her cousin's purse so we let her sleep with it on her arm all night.  She loves pushing her baby around in the stroller too.  And she loves chapstick!  

She is currently obsessed with cows, cats, and dogs.  She can say moo, meow, ruff ruff, baby, mama, dada, out, up, uh-oh, cheese, tub, car, cow, shoe, hi, and bye bye see ya.  She loves going down slides and is quite the little daredevil.  So there's the latest on our little chica.  She's the BEST!

Lazy Sunday

daddy + rozzi = crazy delicious!

love these two!

Thai Peanut Noodle Salad

So I've been hearing a lot of good things about this website, and after searching through recipes for about 2 hours, this is the first one I've tried. It definitely did not disappoint and will probably make it's way into the weekly rotation.

i wish you were here with me....

on the beach in Hawaii. Can I just tell you how RE-LAAAAAXXXXXED i feel?  WOW!  That was good.  No kid, no plans, no problems.   We just chillllllled.  And "The Most Romantic Beach House in Hawaii" that we rented totally lived up to it's name.  It was amazing.  That's a picture of the backyard on the top left.  And no, it's not fake.  Seriously though: good weather, good food, good friends, and good surf.  Perfect vacation.  Of course we didn't get any pics of our friends cuz I suck, but we got a few of their cute kids.  Thanks to the Bowens, the Kontoes', the Lees, the Loveridges, the Thomanders, the Smiths, and the Speeds for showing us a great time.  And thanks to the island for showing us aloha!

Fun with Grandma!

Rozzi had so much fun with Grandma she didn't even know we were gone!  And when we got back she learned all kinds of new tricks!  Like how to hum the ABC song, how to turn on the tub and brush her teeth from the faucet, how to draw, how to say "Car", how to eat all her cereal without spilling, and how to go down slides like a pro!

And by the time Grandma was ready to go home, I think they were both pretty exhausted!  Thanks Grandma! You're the best!
