Ho ho ho. Me n' Claire got these strawberry hats from Claire's grandma Carolyn. Man, just the thought of strawberries gave us the munchies so bad! Claire gets nutty for Zweiback toast, so I just sucked on a lemon. Check.

Wait, wait...I think I'm getting the hang of it. No. Wait. I think I'm stuck. Maybe if I rock a little. No. OOh. My muscles kind of hurt. Uh. Can someone help me?

Grandpa Schaub turns 65!

Well, would ya take a gander at these crazy folks! You all know my dad by now. He's the rock-star-cum-lumberjack on the left. Next to him Great Aunt Suzie. She's Grandpa Schaub's sister. Man, G-Schaub looks like he's going to blow those birthday candles straight outta cake! Uncle Tim seems surprised--are his arms crossed or is he wearing a straightjacket? Aunt Annie, well, I don't know what to think about her drinking. We don't really talk about that in the family.

Me, I was hangin with my cousin Claire that weekend while our moms went skiing at Bridger Bowl and took in the best powder days of the season (so far).

Happy Birthday, Grandpa Schaub!!!

My Grannie Nannie just came to Bozeman for a visit. She's real nice because she dresses me warmer than my parents and takes me on sledding rides. Sometimes I could just blow bubbles with her all day.

Here's another picture from Thanksgiving. These are my mom's sisters and their 2005 babies. I'm not sure exactly what I'm chewing on--it looks like a fresh kill from this angle. Hm. Maybe a Zweibeck toast? I love those.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just got back from an awesome Thanksgiving weekend with the Lasher cousins. We all stayed in one big house so my parents could stay up late binge-drinking with my aunts and uncles. I'm thankful for all my cousins.

We went hiking this weekend up at Blackmore Lake. My dad wanted to be sure to get Mount Blackmore in the background. He said he's going to take me skiing there soon.

This is me and my dad, ICE SKATING at a pond in the Tobacco Root Mountains. Dad and Uncle Tim are really good ice skaters. My mom maybe needs a few lessons. She fell on her face. I'm pretty glad she didn't carry me on the ice.

After skating, we went to Norris Hot Springs for a soak. Live bluegrass, friends, hot water, and cold air. Topped off with a little breastfeeding. Life doens't get much better than that.

Viva la Revolucion!

Parents are SOOOO frustrating sometimes. Sometimes while feeding me, my mom will scrape food bits off my chin with the spoon. Well, you don't have to be a baby to know how annoying this is. What, is she trying to feed me regurgitated food?

Rise up, infants! Take charge of your own spoons!! We will wipe our own faces from now on!

Kitchen help

My dad finally let me take control of some key kitchen activities today. I tested all the spoons, spatulas and wine corks. I was a little disappointed with the metal spoons; they tasted cold and had no tooth. I much preferred the rubber spatuals--easy-to-grab, vibrant colors, nice chewy rubber with a great woody flavor on the stick.

Geared up

I'm really into hiking. It's just a great way for me to burn off some of my extra energy and get in touch with nature. I've been a hiker for most of my life, really, and I'm pretty good at it. My parents hooked me up with some nice gear that I'm getting the hang of, but you know, it's not about the gear -- it's about how you look in it. I look good.

New friends

Last night my parents thought they could get away with putting me to bed and then having twenty five people over for a pumpkin carving party -- as if I was going to miss my first pumpkin carving! I like pumpkins, in fact I've just started eating squash and find it quite tasty. It's the whole thing with the knives, faces, and fire that I'm not so sure about.

Like I said...

I've got six cousins. These are my walking and talking cousins, Zoe, Grace, and Cal. They're all Seattlites. I'm gonna see them at Thanksgiving. Mom says I can have pumpkin for dinner that night. Sure sounds better than that rice cereal slop I get around here.

More cousins than a jackrabbit

These are my cousins Zoe and Van. I like them a lot. Zoe sings a pretty good "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and eats sushi and raw oysters. Van is a lot younger than me, and that has made it hard to communicate long distance, but next time I see him, I hope to stick my fingers up his nose.

Chillin with Claire

I'm hangin out with my cuz today. She's gettin the hang of my jump-up. She's pretty good at it. She's got skills.
I've been showing her some of the features of my entertainment system. It's pretty nice, not top of the line, but cool.

Finally!

So, my parents have finally gotten around to realizing that I'm grown up enough to eat something besides milk. Boy have I hit the jackpot -- now I get milk and a plain rice cereal served lukewarm! My mom says the cereal looks like fishfood. Maybe they'll let me try that next.

HAPPY 6 MONTH BIRTHDAY HAZEL!

Yippee!

I went to my first yoga class today. It was cool because there were babies crying, fans whirring, music thumping, and lots of ladies with pendulous boobs swinging their arms around.

Revenge!!!

It all started with this greasy bag of olives. My parents and my cousin Hazel's parents used to sneak these things back and forth to eachother - hiding them in places you'd never expect, like the freezer or the bottom of a sleeping bag. Then one day, these fetid things showed up on my blog!!! I don't even like olives! It's Hazel that likes them...

Now I want my revenge.

R.I.P.

Conrad
Originally uploaded by Hazmat05.

This is Conrad, nee Connie. He was an excellent rooster. Dad made soup out of him because he thought Conrad was waking up the neighborhood, but we found out later that everyone really liked him. Fortunately, we kept his sister, Anna, and five other distant cousins. They lay about six eggs a day.

Snowbunny

Yesterday I woke up to find our house and backyard covered in white. I was stoked!
With enough prodding I convinced my parents to get me a ski pass, so we went up to Bridger in the afternoon to wait in line and get our pictures taken.
I was a little freaked out by the chairlift, mostly because the thing didn't have a bottom, but I got the hang of it pretty quick.
I'm pretty sure we'll be getting lots of first tracks this season since I'm such an early riser. Though my dad says 5:30am is too early to get to the hill to wait for first chair -- I'll probably be able to change his mind.

First Car Ride

I would like to take a moment to reflect upon my childhood. I remember being catapulted into the world, wrapped in a straightjacket and whisked off almost immediately in a car seat that could have fit two of me wearing nothing but a T-shirt and diaper (early spring in Bozeman is NOT the warmest time of year), looking like Ronald McDonald. Young children should not have to endure such indignities.

My cousin Johnny and I hung out together this summer at Spirit Lake. Mostly, we just tanned on the dock, watching my dad screw up the motorboats. My Aunt Jenny is a pretty good waterskier. Uncle Tom's got a little practicing to do, though.

Here's my cuzn Claire and aunt Eliza hangin out in my van. They borrowed it last weekend and went somewhere. I'm not really sure where.
I sure like roadtrippin in the van. My parents pay a lot of attention to me cuz its such a small place. It seems like Claire liked the van, too.
Claire's cool. We hang out. Mostly we sort of wave our arms at each other and drool. The annoying thing is that we can't do anything on our own, our parents are always hovering around laughing and taking pictures and stuff. It'll be cool when we can take a roadtrip just the two of us in the van.

Missing my bootie

Originally uploaded by Hazel Glaze.

I sure love wearing homemade outfits. My sweater and hat was knit by my Grannie Nanny and the booties by my Great Aunt Sally. Unfortunately, I lost one of my booties in the Lewis and Clark Caverns one evening when mom, dad, and Aunt Annie took me on an after-bedtime THREE HOUR tour of the place. Wow. What a spectacular collection of stalagtites and stalagmites! You should really pay a visit to the Caverns next time your in the area (take Annie with you, 'cause she knows a lot more than the guides). Oh, and look around for my blue bootie.

Today while out birthday present shopping for Annie as my dad was paying for a card the guy at the register said, "what a nice, quite, little ... boy?"
I was dressed in all pink. Whaddo I have to do, lift up my dress?

Our cat Toast, who really is just a kitten herself, arrived on our back porch hungry and homeless a few weeks ago. When her stomach started bloating my dad took her to the vet to get her dewormed -- turns out the worms were kittens. We've now got a half-dozen cats under our roof. I'm not sure I like sharing the attention...

Hazel hits the web

After spending an afternoon with Uncle Tim, Hazel has created her very own blog! (Whatever that means)
We hope you enjoy it -- don't count on daily updates, but we'll do our best...
