20 Minutes in Claire's Life

Finally I enjoy some milk on the deck.

Then I "take" pictures with my camera.

Next I'm in the laundry basket.

Then I pick up poop.

First I golf.

It's hard to explain how busy Claire is unless you spend time with her. I thought I would share some pictures of all the different things she can get done in a very short amount of time. I love that girl to pieces, but she does keep me pretty busy.

Jennie's Birthday

Very few people are special enough to cuddle with Cara.

My favorite girls.

Cutest Twins Fans Around!

Always the life of the party.

Don't worry Brynn, I'll catch you.

Pete and the girls.

Dinner on the deck.

The Aslesons were nice enough to invited us down for a fun night of pizza and a bonfire. It worked out well because Jennie's birthday was the following day so we picked up an ice cream cake to celebrate. We had a great time playing together and Pete is always a big hit with the Asleson girls. Claire loves "Jennie House" so she was in heaven.

Pretty in Pink

We had a fun night with the Andersons. Claire absolutely loves Samantha so any time we get together she is happy. The girls did a lot of playing and "talking" on their phones. I think it is a sign of our future with these two. Claire has even come a long way with Shawn and spent some time cuddling with him.

Uncle Mikey's Birthday

"Do I have something on my face?"

She loves her Uncle Mikey!

We had Mikey over for dinner and cake the day before his birthday. Claire was very excited to have him over and she took full advantage of the extra attention. She was attached to him most of the night. She even sang "Happy Birthday" to him several times. It was pretty cute.

MN Zoo with Aunt Mae-Mae and Carter

Before the goat bit her.

First time feeding a goat for Carter.

Such a big her.

Megan, Carter, Claire and I dared the huge crowds of the first weekend with the farm babies and had a great time. We knew it would be busy, but WOW it was crazy. It was still worth it and it was a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Claire and Jack

It had been a ridiculously long time since we'd seen the Stensruds so we were very excited to spend the evening with them and see their beautiful new house. Their son Jack is 1 now and him and Claire played so well together. They did a LOT of chasing each other through the house. We will definitely need to do this more often.

Daddy

Where's dad?

Priceless

I love that face.

Claire and Pete always have a great time together. If you want to hear Claire laugh, just bring her dad around. They are definitely two peas in a pod. I love to sit back and watch them interact. It's a pretty funny show. Claire is one lucky girl to have such a great dad.

Adam's Hockey Game

"Young Love"

Natural!

Pete had to work so Claire and I went to watch Adam's hockey game a couple weeks ago. He did such a great job and Claire loved every second of it. It was probably the longest time she's ever stayed in one place.

Hiding with Grandpa Rich

Claire was very excited that Grandpa Rich would hang out in her fort with her. I wish it was on video because I heard several adorable giggles coming from in there. It's always fun when Grandpa Rich is around.

Weekend with the Asleson Girls

Special Day for a Special Girl

Cleaning Machines

Jennie was nice enough to invite us down for most of the weekend since Pete was putting in our new kitchen floor. Of course we had a blast like always and Claire never gets enough of "her Jennie." On Saturday morning we went to McDonalds with the girls to celebrate Brynn's accomplishment of no more pull ups at night. It was so fun to spend the special day with Brynn.
