Cornbelly's

My in-laws were in town during oct. and we went to Cornbelly's while they were here visiting. Here is a picture of the cute aprons my mother-law made Clara and I for Halloween. Aren't they cute? She also made my kids Halloween pillow cases which they loved. What a nice mother-in-law I have.

Here we are at cornbelly's I had to include this picture because when I saw it I was laughing so hard at my face. Click on it big and you will laugh too. Looks like I was really scared. Alvin loved this slide though. I kept putting him down on his stomach feet first and he has never been so excited. I have never seen him smile so big. So cute.

Sitting on the huge rocking chair. This place is full of photo opportunities. My mother-in-law was in heaven. She is a picture fanatic.

Sitting on the pumpkin princesses carriage. Clara still won't get within 100 feet of a princess. The pumpkin pricess was there, but sure enough like every other princess Clara doesn't like to get near them. Have you ever met a girl scared of princesses. She is more of a timkerbell kind of a gal.

We went through the corn maze. This way or that way?????

Our favorite part is the big jumping pillow.

The cow train. This is such a fun place. We were there for hours and still could have stayed longer. Lovin the cornbelly's.

Reid's 7th Birthday Party

Reid turned 7 this year on Oct. 21st. I decided not to make a mess of my house and go somewhere else for the party. It was so much less stressful and not too expensive at Pirate Island Pizza. The kids loooved it. It is new so nobody was sick of it yet. Reid didn't want a pirate themed party so we did a costume party. Here is the ghost cake I made with fondant. It was really yummy too. I made 2 layers inside, one was death by chocolate flavored and the other was the same recipe as the death by chocolate, but with a yellow cake and white chocolate chips. And then it was frosted in Wilton's butter cream frosting(it is a great frosting recipe by the way)

Reid really wanted a Power Ranger Party, but i figured that would be kind of hard to do in a pirate themed pizza place. He did dress up like on though.

Clara and her friend Ellie. We always include a friend or 2 for Clara.
Lots of fun games and rides to play on.
When you walk in to the place it looks like the Pirates ride at Disneyland.
My dad and Alvin.
Blowing out the candles. Reid is such a special boy. He is getting so creative and responsible. He is such a good helper at home. He can get upset, but he can also calm down very easily. Lately he is really into illustrating and writing books and they are so neat. I am always so impressed when he comes out of his room with his creations. He is such a nice boy at school too. He is always careful to include others and is always concerned for others. He started a French Immersion program this year at school and is doing so well. It is so much fun to hear him speak in French. It sounds so cute coming from my little boy. We love him very much.

Trip to Arizona

David's brother blessed his new baby girl over Labor Day weekend and so we took a trip to Arizona so that we could be there. The kids were in heaven with all their cousins. There are now 9 kids under the age of 9, and there is one on the way very soon. Here is Reid reunited with his BFF Tyler. They are 3 years apart, but they have had a connection ever since Reid was just a tiny baby. They are a lot alike. They have so much fun together and they still hold hands. We keep wondering when that will stop. It is so cute, but we know when they get older they will be too cool for that.

Hanging out at Grandma and Jido's house.

Of course doing hair at Grandma and Jido's house.

Playing with all the billions of toys at Grandma and Jido's house.

Playing Wii at Grandma and Jido's house.

And of course taking the famous waterfall shot at Grandma and Jido's house.

Oh and wearing the wigs and hats at Grandma and Jido's house.

The whole Hazar Fam at the blessing of Mackenzie Candace Hazar. My brother-in-law TJ gave the most beautiful blessing. The spirit was so strong. His wife Carrie, my sister-in-law, bore the most beautiful testimony as well. It is so nice to hear each other's testimony's of the gospel since we don't get to hear them all the time even though we should be sharing them all the time.

Here we are at dinner at one of my favorite places to eat in Scottsdale. The White Chocolate Grill. Everything is good there. I like this picture because you can see how big the family is getting, we need 2 big tables to fit us all.

It was still really hot there so we spent Labor Day swimming at a family member's house. The kids had diving contests (oh wait that was Carrie and Chad:)), they played water games, and they were thrown up in the air by their dads. All fun.

Again the big Hazar Fam(minus Grandma, Jido and new baby).

More Pictures

My sister-in-law Katrina was out of town and so my mom watched Chloe and so she brought her over for the day. We had so much fun with her. We really wore her out. She slept for over 3 hours in the dark basement in a port-a-crib. At least we think she slept that long because when we went to finally check on her we opened the door to look inside and there she was standing in the crib in the pitch black room not even making a peep. So who knows how long she was awake.



This was the kids playing outside one morning in sept. Alvin loves to just be in his diaper. Look at his cute little body.

Here they are looking for the neighbor's cat in their driveway.

Here they are at a condo in park city. My parents stayed there for a week and we went up one Sunday because David was out of town. They loved the bunk bed.

A very late first day of school

As you can see I am way behind with my blog. I haven't been taking very many pictures lately and I haven't been posting the ones I have. Anyway here is Reid and Clara's first day of school. Clara has the same teacher that she had last year, but it is at a different school this year, because they canceled the UVU preschool she went to last year. She loves it just the same. It is at Orem elementary so she feels like she is like Reid now that she is going to a real school. A lot of the equipment is the same as last year and so she still sits on the same "C" square on the rug. Every time I come to pick her up and the class is on the rug sitting she is in the far corner on top of the "C" square. She has 5 teachers because 3 of them are student teachers from UVU and so she loves all the attention. Every time I drop her off she walks in like everyone is watching her every move and she kind of shows off when she walks in. She is a lot more outgoing this year.

Reid is in first grade this year and he also started a french immersion program which he loves. Half of his day is all french and half is in english, and once he is in the 3rd grade all of his day will be in french. Reid is really good at immitating sounds so I think this will be a good thing for him. He has transitioned pretty well into a full day of school. He never complained although for about 2 weeks he came home from school in the worst mood. He was so cranky. He is getting a lot better now.

Family Pictures

We got our family pictures done this year by one of my best friends from high school, Jill Tew. She did such a good job. I love them. Here is her blog if anybody wants to use her. daytewdayphotography.blogspot.com We got a lot of good pictures, even though Reid fell in the beginning of the shoot and so he was very difficult because he was crying a lot of the time, but we managed to at least get a couple of him not crying. Clara was good so you will see there are a lot more of her than the other difficult boys. It was all worth it though. David my tell you differently, but to me it is always worth a good picture.

I bought this t-shirt dress for $10 and I made the apron to sew onto it. I stress so much about the outfits in pictures. I not only want them to look just right, but also I am a tight wad and so I try to do it and spend little to no money. David dies at me. It is the artist in me that wants it to be just right.

Clara always does this dance when a song she likes comes on. She points her 2 fingers up in the sky and sways side to side to the music. It is a pretty fun dance:) I usually join in with her.
