You've got a friend in me

Getting Soaked with water with neighbor Ella

Lounging with neighbors, Mickelsons

Sharing toys with Drew
'Mom, he's touching my hand'

Claire- 'This is my buddy, this is my pal'...(Dennis the Menace)

Becoming mesmerized by the shaking, singing, silly dog


Dancing with Thomas

10 Months

She wouldn't touch the cut up kiwi, but she loved eating half a kiwi.

Lucky parents!


Giving Kisses

Yes, she gives kisses to mom and dad this way too...lol

9 months

She found a way around our homemade barriers (diaper boxes), and to the back side of the couch... she was pretty excited to get to explore there.

'Ohh man, what was I ever thinking, trying out dirt.....'

Cute Kneeler              Loves the swing

This pic (above on the right) reminds me of my baby pics.. since her eyes are in the shadow and look dark, and uber chubby legs...(yes, she got other feature of mine, but I was a chubby baby, so that stands out in all my baby pics:))

'Ohh mama, what did I do to deserve two things on my head'

For the love of the Cheerios              Miss Twinkle Toes

More exploring... Don't these bar stools look great? My brother made them and they are so comfy!

Love her long eye lashes and curly hair (after swimming)

Our neighbor says that Claire's hairdo reminds her of an 80's rock star- long on top and short on sides. This picture exemplifies it! Notice her teeth! She has 6 teeth now, even though you can only see 4 :)

'You want me to eat this...'

Springville Art Museum- Quilt Show

Thanks to my mom's patience.. Now, I love quilt shows. My mom tried to instill a love of quilts and quilt shows when I was young, I made a few quilts (one for a teddy bear :)) and cut out all the blocks for another (that's the part I dread the most!), but nothing more. Now its fun and fulfilling. I don't think I'll attempt quilts like these... but they are fun to look at!

These two are my favorite!

This quilt looks like a painting- Amazing! Here are my two cuties, in front of a skier statue outside the museum
