loving summer

 

Claire painted a pic for grandma- Trevor loves the water!

4th of July BBQ - Alyson's cousin Alice and Trevor

Jack and Ellie- Claire adored Ellie and talked about going to Oregon after they left

Big kids eating dessert- Nathan, Johnny, and their cousins Arwen and Ellie

If Claire asks me to take her picture- I never refuse- they always turn out so much cuter than when I ask her to take a picture-  Standing Trevor- Now he's 15 months he prefers walking to crawling

Spanish Fork Splash Pad & Park- I forgot all the shade cloths- so nice!

 

Claire is always making freinds

Having fun now!

Even Trevor had fun

Until he got soaking wet from a big kid running around...oops

Trevor desperately trying to get Lance & Logan's water bottle

24th of July fireworks at Chrissy & Bret's

Silly kids... yes I got the idea for Claire's shirt from pinterest

love my cuties!

Jason's made us an awesome swing set

Tried to get a cute pic of both of them thinking they can't run away in the hammock...nope, not happening

Although I do miss her blue eyes... her green - blue eyes are just as stunning

Trevor was in a ride 'em cowboy mood...ergo, ride 'em caterpillar- I love this smile

Claire loves books... She looks too grown up in this pic...ahhh stay young

Last year we were picking weeds while a 5K when right by our house... this year Jason ran in it

You can see Jason's mad dash for the finish line- inbetween the yellow shirted kid and grey sweatshirt lady

Trevor is learning early how to make big messes... he has quite a good teacher...unfortunately this is one mess (stacking books up) that Claire gets so frustrated doing- that its easier to just clean myself

She did this all herself- the bag are her wings- She has a great imagination

Beginnings

Popsicles and Trevor's little pool

This handsome guy was gone for 4 days- we missed him!!!- 110 mile bike ride scout camp (yeah our ward is awesome)- But we are glad he got a break from his laptop and work/ dissertation- He is such a hard worker.
  He even talked all they boys into waking up uber early just to come home a few hours early- but one of the other leaders (whose wife he saw on the trip) said NO...Jason kept getting teased for being a newlywed- It was the longest we have been apart since we met/got married 7 years ago

We were so excited to have daddy home, we did our hair curly- mine didn't last- but Claire's did!

My kids have the best silly faces!

Claire loves making friends. Any kid she sees, no matter the age/gender, she says there are some friends.  Well these cute 10 year old girls were outside biking and Claire somehow got their attention.  Probably by saying something like, "Hi friends"- lol...she adored them and picked flowers for them (the roses were flowering then) and showed off her bike.  They adored her too- saying I wish I was little like you, you are so cute.  Well Claire loved having the attention of three 10 year olds, she found a BB, from a BB gun and asked them whats this- to which she heard baby... She loved that thing for a while- calling it her baby- So funny!
