Family Bowling Night

Some of Jacob's family came to visit a few weeks ago so we all went bowling!! It's been a while since I've been bowling and it was so much fun. Nothing like a little healthy competition! Claire was our little cheerleader.

I'm pretty sure Jordan ended up kicking all our trash, but I'm pretty sure it was really close at one point! :)

Thanks Montague's for a fun night!

LUNCH

We went to lunch today with our friend Teri and her little girl Riley and my in-laws. Riley and Claire are only a week apart so its so fun to get them together. They live in Cedar but it still seems like we never see them!

We tried to get them to give kisses bye, but they more or less mauled each other. Riley was trying to eat Claire's face. It was so funny!

They are gonna be BFF's, they just don't know it yet.

Thanks Teri and Riley! We had lots of fun!

Big Girl!

Out with the Bumbo, in with the High Chair! She is diggin' her new high chair and so am I. I'm not worried she is gonna pop out of the Bumbo at any given moment and the tray actually stays on!

My favorite is when food gets stuck on her face and she has no idea, total crack up!

BLING!

Little Claire's BLING!

Claire got her ears pierced today! I was so nervous about doing it, but she did such a good job! She cried for a second but then was just fine! We went with Jaz and she got her little girl, Hallie's, done too! She looks so much older now, its kinda sad, but so cute at the same time!

Getting a good picture of BOTH ears, impossible!!

Right after we got home, she was so happy!

After we were done, glad its over with!

Hallie and Claire (It's hard to see either of their ears, lame!)

I'm not gonna lie, the sound was gross, good thing it was over fast! She looks even cuter then she was before! My little girl is growing up, tear! :)

Latest Project

So my sisters and I started this project while I was in Salt Lake:

and never quite got it finished. We copied it off another blog, of course, and I think it turned out so cute. So here is the finished project!

I only have one holiday done, there are like 6 others, but I wanted to get St. Patrick's up before the 17th! Barely made it by 2 days! Haha
Love crafting at 7 AM, seems to be the time when I get the most done!

Can You Breathe?

Claire's new sleeping style...

(The sun shines right on her window all day so her room gets SOO hot,
therefore we sleep in a diaper most days!)

Should I be worried? HAHA
Silly little girl- I've found her like this the past couple of times I have checked on her. I try and pull it off but It usually just ends up back where it was. Oh well!

"The Airplane"

So Jacob has been research RC Airplanes FOREVER and finally decided to get one. I'll have to admit, it's pretty cool, but boy was it an investment! Haha K, so they aren't that expensive, but they are pricey. We awaited the package last week and it finally came and Jacob HAD to put it together that night. He's like a little boy at Christmas, it was so funny! It has a motor that takes gas and everything, its pretty high tech. We finally took it out for a fly last night....

Jacob Getting it All Ready to Go

Tony assisting with the takeoff

Me and Wend took some pics, of course, while we waited

The sun went down while we were out there and it was a gorgeous sunset

Claire chilled in the car seat to escape all the bugs

Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of it in the air because, I'll be honest, it wasn't up for long. :) It was kinda windy and it was his first time flying so...! It was a lot of fun though! Its a fun hobby for him and I'm sure our kids are going to love going with dad to "Fly"!

I Think.....

..... It's time for a real high chair. Claire is onto the fact the tray on the Bumbo comes right off. Smarty pants. Oh well, bound to happen sometime.

So long Bumbo.....

2 Teethies!

I keep forgetting to post about Claire's teeth! And this is the first REALLY good pic I have gotten of them since they came in! She now officially has 2 teeth! They are so dang cute, I can't even stand it! She is totally cheesing it in this pic too. She almost looks mad or something. Oh how I love this little girl, she does nothing but make me smile.

Park Time!

It's been so nice this week, finally! I think spring is finally here, closer to summer in St. George already It seems like. It was 80 degrees today so we took full advantage and went to the park. It was a little later in the day, after Jacob got home, but it was still so nice out! Wendy and Tony are down visiting for the weekend, so while Jacob works and Tony has drill tomorrow- Wendy, Claire and I will be enjoying more park time and catching some much needed sun rays! We put Claire on the swings today and this is the reaction we got:

She LOVED it! She was in pure heaven..... So of course I snapped more photos!

We chilled on the blanket and had "snacks" and played with little Claire

And of course we did the slide! It will be so fun when Claire is a little older and can do all this on her own, until then... its me AND Claire! Fine by me :)

Ahh I'm loving this warm weather! Here's to more days at the park...

SLC/Idaho Trip

Claire and I took a little vacation, actually a LONG vacation, up to Salt Lake to see my family and then on to the great state of Idaho to visit my sister and her little family. We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks. We made sure to do A LOT of fun things while we were up there, saw lots of friends and family and were also able to relax a little and enjoy ourselves.

Claire and Kole were able to play with each other (Claire is already stealing toys from Kole, not a good sign!!)

Had a Craft Night with the sisters, minus 1 (which turned into 3 babies crying, us chit chatting and not much craft getting done!)

Dinner with all the girls (minus Allie- we missed you!)
Played with Grandpa Ray while he smothered Claire in kisses!


~Our trip to Idaho~

My sister and her husband went out of town part of the time we were there, so Missy and I watched her kiddos! It was so crazy, but so fun! 7 kids under 7... wow! Not to mention 3 of them were under 1!

Claire got spoiled with attention, especially from cute Brooklyn

Don't let them deceive you, they are adorable 3 year old's, but boy can they both hold their ground, geez!

We tried a little ponytail while we were in Idaho as well. It was so cute, but SO tiny!

All the hoodlums, minus Dax

Kate and Claire in their matching outfits! Thanks Grandma Mern!

Mamma and Claire

One of the days it was finally nice enough to go outside. So the big kids got on their scooters and Kate and Claire got in the wagon; they LOVED it! Claire decided to just relax and kick back on Kate's lap apparently.

Claire's new smile, open mouth all the way

Playing outside with the kids. Still a little chilly but we all had cabin fever!

We had such a fun trip but it's good to be back home! Until next trip....
