Meet Wizard the Lizard




Well here is the cute little guy. Hazen is going through a rhyming stage, and said that his name is Wizard. Wizard is a good little pet. He is a chinese water dragon, and really pretty personable. He eats his crickets and basks in the sun all day. He swims in his pool, and keep a close eye on Hazen. We can pick him up and he lets hazen pet him. He can move fast though. When I try to put him back in his cage he runs up my arm and tries to get out. I like him, but I do not touch the crickets. They are really really gross.

Abilene Zoo










Jed managed to get one day off for spring break so we headed to a zoo near lubbock. We spent the night in Abilene and went swimming in the hotel pool. Hazen is a great swimmer and loved to jump off the edge. He really liked the warm hot tub. He kept going under and blowing bubbles. Hazen did so good to sleep in his own bed and slept through the whole night! The zoo was great too. We saw some really unique animals. The giraffes were great because they gave you crackers to feed them on a bridge that went over their pen. One reached up and grabbed a cracker right next to hazen. He also liked the rhino, zebra, monkey, and leopard. However, the creepy crawler room was by far hazen's favorite. He loved the snakes, lizards, and spiders. I was a little creeped out. The drive home was nice with a sleeping little boy and some huge windmills out our window. I had to work the next day, and when I came home Hazen had a new pet, and a new haircut. Jed said they were having a really good father/son day and so he went and bought hazen a lizard because after the zoo, hazen kept saying lizard (or snake) pet. Well, now hazen has a little lizard in his room. He really does like him, especially when he eats crickets and shows his pink tongue. I don't really want to talk about it....

New Toys!!






Grandma and Grandpa spoiled hazen! For his birthday, both grandparents put in to get him a jumper! He loves it more than I can say. Jumping is his new favorite thing to do, wherever he goes. He also got a plane that blows bubbles. I just love the expressions on his little face. What a joy!




My parents came to visit and we had so much fun hanging out with grandma and grandpa almond. I can't believe I didn't get 1 good picture of them while they were here. Here is Hazen's cute new church outfit Grandma picked out for him. He loves to be outside, and after church he ran over to the blossoming tree and said "popcorn!" He looks so grown up to me! I love him! But I will find better pictures of our time with the grandparents. I bet my mom has some great ones.
