So excited!!!

I know I have been the worst at blogging, only a year behind! But I vow to start again! :) We are super excited that we found out this morning we are having a BOY! Never thought it would happen to us.  Seriously.  But, even the ultrasound tech was excited to tell us.  She said after a couple minutes of looking at the baby, "Ok, I can't hold this in any longer, you're having a boy!" Dave I could tell was thrilled even though he tries to down play everything.  I recognized the little smile and gleam in his eye, it'll be exciting to see what this little boy looks like! Hopefully these next 20 weeks fly! Can't wait to hold him!

Summer 2011 Part Uno


Alright, so I've established I really stink at blogging, so for those who want to skip photos from 7 months ago I don't blame you! ;)
We had an amazing summer.  Number one, I wasn't preggo..so right there it made it fabulous.  It was full of swimming at Aunt Laura's pool, camping, Utah, family, soccer, friends, bbq's, movies outside...So here's summer part 1:

4th of July







We spent the 4th of July at my parents with family and friends.  It was one of the best 4ths ever.  My parents and sister Laura went all out at the reservation and bought a booty load of fireworks.  Neighbors even came to watch, it was that spectacular!

 Soccer!

 My mom and dad went to every game, they are the best grandparents!

 Players and a super hero...







 Cousins lovin' on each other



 Would have been a cute picture if my glasses weren't wonky!
 Claire and Emma loved soccer.  They had a great coach and played in heavenly weather.  By the end of the "season" the girls were pretty good!
 After the last game of the season (which Jamie, Ben and Charlotte got to go to) we celebrated Ben's birthday.
 Lotte's "cheese" face
 I could see these people every day!
Happy Birthday Ben-jamin!!!

To be continued...hopefully...;)

Claire

My very favorite photo of {Claire}


May...hurray!

Ha Jamie, proved you wrong! So May in our family brings Claire Bears birthday and of course Mother's day! Claire's kindergarten class had a Mother's tea so I brought my mom along with me.  This is also the month that we found out my dad had colon cancer, so it was a pretty difficult month for our family. 


 I thought this was the cutest idea! Free and darling!


 Claire's friends and their mom's



 Me and my girls on Mother's Day!

 Heather's birthday party for Claire - she's the best friend! We love you Miller family!
 The babies!



 Claire's Scooby party at mom's.  Dave and I made up a mystery for the girls to solve, they absolutely loved it! Now we have requests for every birthday party having a mystery to solve...great...


 Dave dressed as the Tiki Monster! He ran out to where the kids were and stole the cupcakes leaving behind a puzzle for them to put together and read for the next clue!


The next clue was to pop the balloons in the living room and find the papers to put together for the next clue!
 

 The last clue led them to the pinata that held the final clue to the cupcake's whereabouts.  A miniature Cinderella and prince fell out along with a ton of candy.  They recognized the dolls as belonging to my mom's playroom
 Wow! Don't get in Hallie's way!
 Love the fierceness!

 They caught him!
Awww....what a great daddy! And Birthday! Happy 6th Claire!

A few things about Claire:

{LOVES}  
The Last Airbender
Her "Teddy" bear that she sleeps with every night
Great Grandma's lemon bars
Drawing and putting together books
Flipping on the trampoline
SCOOBY DOO!
She's got the best imagination! In time out she occupies herself with finger plays...
