Arizona Trip

We were able to take a trip to Arizona last week. The warm weather was so nice and it was fun to see family and see Claire playing with her cousins.

Went went to the Desert Museum. A good smiling picture of Claire doesn't happen too often.

Trying on bat ears in the cave.

Digging for dinosaur bones.

Most of the grandkids with YaYa.

We went to the County Fair another day. Claire enjoyed the sea lion show, or at least she enjoyed the music they played during some of their tricks.
She like the petting zoo a lot.


Here is her normal "cheese" face.
Dad built her a tunnel with giant blocks.

We enjoyed the chance to get down there before the baby is born. It was so nice to see everyone and enjoy the sun.

Claire Gives us a Tour

Claire loves to hold and use the camera. So I helped her give us a tour of her toys...

March Madness and Jimmermania

Being the sports addict that I am, I've been teaching Claire a phrase over the past several weeks. Here it is...

Claire's Bubbles Dress

Claire calls anything with dots, "bubbles." Thus, she wore a bubble dress to church today. This is Claire striking a model pose by her play kitchen set.

Claire smiling.

Suzy at 30 weeks and one day.

Random Claire

Since life revolves around Claire, at least for the next 3 months, here are some recent pictures.

Claire is very two. She is getting quite opinionated and really doesn't like it when she doesn't get her way. She is learning so much and is talking all the time. I'm always amazed at the words she can say. She is very sweet, when things are going her way, and loves to give hugs and kisses.

Big Blue Eyes.
She has learned how to say "cheese" and now has that cheesy picture face.
She LOVES water and she could stay in the bath forever. This is her concentrating face.
She wants to be like dad who was wearing an apron, so I found a Claire-sized one.
She is always running around. Her hair is usually a mess too.
Here she is looking her best. What a cutie!
