The Green Mustache
Green Smoothie's are our breakfast of choice. Quick, easy, healthy and (no joke) it actually tastes good too. This picture just cracks me up!

Hazel Elizabeth Householder
Introducing the newest addition to our family. Born on May 12th weighing 7lbs 6oz and 20 inches long. Some pictures capture her blond hair better then others. We are in love!
The Aunties (Julean, Jessica and Christine) brought Grace to meet Hazel.
Hazel with her Aunt Shaunna
Hazel's birth was so different compared to Grace's. I started going into labor during the evening with both, but with Hazel, I was able to catch little naps between contractions and they didn't feel very intense. When I checked into the hospital I was dilated to 4.5cm and 100% effaced. I arrived at the hospital at 7:30am and labored un-medicated. They broke my water around 10:30am and I had Hazel at 11:16am (with Grace I arrived at the hospital around 3:30am and had her just after 4pm). I spent more time pushing with Hazel then I did with Grace; her head is seriously huge compared to Grace's!! :) Kelly has been working down in Southern Colorado and staying there during the week, so when he got the phone call that it was time he drove up and made it to the hospital only 1 hour before Hazel arrived. My Mom was able to be there with me while I labored and gave birth. My sister Heather was also able to be there arrive only 10 min before the birth..now thats cutting it close! :) Birth always feels like such a miracle, and we are so grateful Hazel is here healthy and strong! Life is good!
