Normal Week

This week has been just a normal week for that Hazards. We had some Wal-mart trips (what would we do without Wal-mart?), dental visits (this is a normal occurrence as well), a few interpreting appointments, and some lazy nights at home together.

On Thursday night CADA had the annual welcome dinner for new student wives. CADA is an organization set up for dentist's spouses. I am the secretary again this year and I am excited for a new year! We have some fun events planned; "A Toothy Affair," elementary school presentations, our annual carnival, date nights, and many other fun things.

Sunday night we had a fun family night activity. We decided to bake and decorate sugar cookies. We have never done this before and have heard that sugar cookies can be quite finicky to bake. We made two cookie sheets and the second sheet turned out the best. The frosting was the difficult part. It held its shape really well for a few minutes, but then melted down into blobs. We will definitely be experimenting more in the future... The distant future. The cookies were great, but I think I am sugared out for the time being.

These are the cute kids that we babysit. Austin and Sala are so much fun to have around! Whenever Evelyn sees either of them she bursts into giggles! She gets a kick out of seeing kids her own size. Evelyn is turning out to be pretty musical! She loves the piano and the guitar and will play each and sing to herself for a good long time before getting tired. Also, this week she learned a new sound that she freely incorporates into her songs. It sounds like this: Ba Baaaa Ba Ba Baaaa Ba. She can't just talk, she has to be singing or squealing.

Here are some of the cookies we made. We have a ways to go before we can open shop. Rachel made the top ones and the bottom middle. I made the car and the boy.
