Hazel's First Plane Ride

When baby girl was 3 weeks old, she and I flew to California for a long weekend.  Chris had planned a camping trip with his friends (Neal and Garrett) so I took advantage of the opportunity to go visit family in California while he was away.  I didn't get too many pictures while I was home, but it was so nice to be around family... everyone (especially my mom) was super helpful with Hazel.  Plus baby girl got to meet almost all her aunties, uncles and cousins on the Foster side. 

This is Hazel on the plane.  She slept the whole flight.

So sleepy...

 

My dad came up to Utah on Easter weekend to surprise my mom for their anniversary.  I was also due that weekend, so we were hoping she would come while my dad was still in town.  Unfortunately, she was a bit stubborn and took her time, so this trip was the first time my dad got to meet his 20th grand-baby.

Hazel Rue and Grandma K.  My mom was so nice and stayed up with baby girl while I caught up on some much needed sleep.  She's the best. 

 Meanwhile...

Chris and his buddies went to Goblin Valley and hiked some slot canyons.  I his pictures so I could document the trip.

 The day after he got back from this trip (while I was still in California) he left for North Dakota for a week to help his friend build some fences.   He drove all day and most of the night... then worked 15 hour days in the hot hot sun, in the middle of nowhere... and five days later, drove all day and most of the night back home to see his girls.  I am so grateful for such a hardworking husband.  Hazel and I were super excited to have him home with us again.
