Love this little girl!!! She has already been a huge blessing in our lives. Sure life is a little crazy with two. How many times today did I put my hand in the toilet to pull something out that Dillon had tossed in? Don't ask! Sometimes things are nuts, but we love it!! And of course I always look forward to blessing day. Loved the family, the meeting, the food, and even the super bowl.
Our little angel. Beautiful right? So here's the story behind the dress: My grandma (below) made it before I was born, 25+ years ago. I wore it when I was blessed (as well as all of my sisters), and all of my nieces on my side have been blessed in it. Kinda cool right? It is still in excellent condition! I loved dressing my little princess in it!
Hazel and great grandparents (my mom's parents)
Hazel and great grandpa (my dad's dad)
Hazel with Grandma and Grandpa Dyreng
Hazel with Grandma and Grandpa Christensen
And, of course, Hazel with her dad. Such a cool thing to have your husband bless your children.
Now, playing catch up. Random pictures of what we've been up to lately.
Dillon LOVES his bed, it's like his safe haven. He takes anything and everything there with him: boots (funny fact: he calls them boobs), books, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, and anything else he thinks will keep him company.
We got Dillon snow clothes, and I think he's worn them once. Why??? He just doesn't really care. Casey took him sledding not long ago and worked like a horse pulling him around on the sled. I think Dillon gets more excited about reading books! So sledding? Not worth all the effort! But, doesn't he kinda look like Andy on Christmas Story? :)

A POST! Hooray! I almost jumped for joy! :) It's so fun to see more pictures of your cute kids. Dillon is getting so big, and Hazel is so beautiful. I love that we've all worn that blessing dress.
Your cake turned out AMAZING! You have some talent there!
Last thing, how come Mom comments on everyone's blog but mine? :) I'm starting to feel some favoritism there. J/K! :) Love you! Have fun on your trip.
Oh my gosh Sam! She is gorgeous, and I LOVE the story about the dress. That is so special. Dillon is getting so big too! ANd I was glad to hear about how he likes his bed; we've been wondering when to do that whole transition. Hope you guys are doing so great! We miss you!
Happy Birthday Dillon! I can't believe he is two! I look forward to spending some time with both of your adorable kids next week! The blessing turned out great, and Hazel is soooo beautiful!
