Round 4 and Birthday Celebration

Our Family minus Riley

Adorable expecting parents

Yummy dinner

Claire's buddy

Grandpa is so much fun.

We had Rich, Megan, and Andrew over today to celebrate Pete and Rich's birthday. Their birthdays are one day apart so we usually celebrate together. We had a great time playing games and eating dinner. Claire loves having everyone's attention. It was a perfect day to have a picnic.

Round 3 at the New House

Pete and Henry were buds.

We needed the diaper picture.

The Huebscher's

They loved the water table.

Such a happy boy.

Pete needed some help installing the microwave and pot rack so Scott, Jen, and Henry came over to help him out and have dinner. Jen, Claire, Henry, and I did some playing while the boys worked hard in the kitchen. It is always fun to see Claire and Henry play together. They are pretty cute together.

Round 2 at the New House

Claire was napping, but we still needed a picture with the two pretty girls.

This is the best we could do.

Claire's first picnic

Sunday morning the Skarphol's came over to see the house and show off their beautiful baby girl Addison. She is just as pretty as her big sister Hannah. Claire and Hannah had a fun time playing together, but they are pretty used to that because they go to day care together. It was a fun way to spend part of the day.

Round 1 at the New House

You have to love that face.

Brynn and Pete always having fun together.

Bath Time

A Natural

We've had a very busy and fun weekend at our new house. Our friends Jennie, Darren, Brynn, and Cara came over on Friday night for dinner and playing. The girls had a great time together and even had a bath. They are pretty darn cute.

Home Sweet Home

Enjoying her drink on the deck.

Grandpa makes everything fun.

"Really Mom, another picture?"

Claire loves her water table.

They love the window seat in our room.

We are very excited to be in our new house. We love all the space and the big yard. Claire is having a great time exploring the house and finding everything that isn't child proof. She is definitely keeping her parents busy, but in a good way. Riley also loves the new house. He wasn't sure about it in the beginning, but now he loves it. Life is good.

The Twins Turn One

Great Family!

Cutest nephews ever!

My pretty girl!

Claire's cousin Madison was so great with her.

He should have had triplets!

We were very excited to be able to celebrate Dominic and Cameron's first birthday with them this past weekend. I can't believe they are already one. The party was a blast and the boys were as cute as ever. Claire loved all the attention and some of the boys' new toys.

Two Peas in a Pod

Do you need your face wiped?

Good Girl

Pretty Girls!

We are pretty sure and Samantha and Claire will be the best of friends. They already love each other and by that I mean Claire adores Samantha. I'm not sure how she feels about Claire yet, but if their parents have anything to say about they will be the best of friends.

What more can I say

You have to love it.

How hard can I pull this tail.

What more can I say

Come and get it

Look what I have

Claire loves playing with her brother Riley and thinks she is pretty funny when she does it. She will show him a ball and then run to the other side of the room because she knows that he will chase any ball. She laughs so hard as runs away from him and we can't help, but laugh too. She also loves yanking on his tail now. Thank goodness Riley is such a good sport because she isn't gentle.

Grandpa Rich

You can see the love.

Claire loves when Grandpa Rich comes to play because she knows that she will get his full attention. He is way more fun than mom and dad. :)

Packing Up

Claire thought she should help pack up our townhouse, but I'm not sure you can call it help. She loved climbing in the boxes and emptying drawers. She also loved emptying boxes that I already packed which makes packing even more fun. At least she is pretty darn cute doing it.

Sad Day For Our Friends

The Group

We will miss the dearly

Claire and Grant

Henry, Claire, and Avery

We are very sad to say that our friends Mike and Alexis are moving to Ohio so we had to have a going away party for them. Jen and Scott were kind enough to host it. We had blast chatting, playing with the kids, and of course a couple drinks. We are very sad to see them go.

Zoo with the Skarphol's

Claire and her "dog"

Good Friends

Pete, Claire and I met our friends Andrew, Jennifer, and Hannah at the MN Zoo. They had the farm babies for the month of April so we had to check them out. Claire had a great time feeding the goats, but she kept calling them, "dog." It was pretty cute.
