Ahhh the Memories!

More fun shots from our time here with the family!

Steps!!!

Clara took 2 or 3 pretty good steps on her own today!!! Yay!!! She's had a few other times where she's sort of taken little things that look like on-your-own steps! Gonna be running all over pretty soon. She'll MAKE her momma loose the rest of those pounds!

Fun Times!

Here are some fun pictures from the last while:

Music "lessons" with Grandpa and Uncle Randy!


Lookin' Happy!


Who says people can't fly... at least when you have an Uncle Randy!

Sister Pictures!

About a year ago, when we were last all together, my sisters and I had fun getting all fixed up and taking sister pictures. Well, yesterday we had fun doing the same thing! My Mom took us to the park and patiently snapped pictures of us. Clara put up with it nicely, and even got to be in a few herself. Her Uncle Josh road his bike over and played with her some! Here are a few from the day:




Grandma!!!!!

Clara and her Aunts!




My eyes are closed in this one, but it's a way too cute picture of Clara not to include!

Sweet and Sour

Sweet and sour. That is what Clara and I are getting right now. We are enjoy the very big treat of being in California visiting my family and friends for almost a month!!! And we are having a very nice time so far! I didn't say anything about the up comping trip on the blog because we wanted to surprise some people. It's been a treat to get to introduce my little one to friends and family and enjoy spending time with them! It's almost exactly a year since I was last here.

And what is the sour part, you may ask? Well, that while we enjoy this treat we must also be away from our Daddy and Hubby for all that time! Stephen is doing Marine Corps reserve duty right now. So, although we're going to really miss him, we are very proud of him! I guess Clara doesn't know enough to be proud, but one day she will!!!!!! For right now she's probably wondering where on earth he is!!! She loves him so much!
