All Smiles


Claire is 3 months old now and all smiles! Unfortunately, I'm not keeping up on taking photo's like I should but I've set a goal to do better!

Claire's Day of Blessing






It was special to have Erik give Claire her Name and Blessing in church. It is always great when family can be together for these special events in our lives -- we missed the rest of you and wished we could have been complete! Claire was perfect, Elizabeth all smiles and McCall as beautiful as ever. The only problem was I had made a commitment to speak to the youth in our church that evening, so I had to run off on everyone who stopped by after the blessing. I feel like I missed out on seeing everyone.


You can see Claire wasn't too happy by the time we got to the individual pictures with Elizabeth and McCall -- but they are treasures all the same.

Utah County Fair






One afternoon I headed out with the girls to the County Fair. They went on rides and had fun but it was sure hot. Luckily Claire slept in the stroller so they were able to do everything they wanted. I am so glad McCall and Elizabeth have fun together. McCall is such a good big sister and Elizabeth is happy doing whatever McCall does.

County Fair and Cotton Candy




It's just not the Fair if you don't finish off with sticky hands and faces from Cotton Candy. They sure made it look good!

Day by Day





At times I feel so overwhelmed -- I'm having to let go of the spotless house and hope that surface clean will suffice. I think our checking account hasn't been balanced for a month. I can't remember the names of my girls...and my list of things to get to keeps getting longer. But I did find time to read my book for this month's book club -- so life isn't all bad!!! I just take it day by day.
*The bows on the girls head were made by them using their napkins from lunch and clippies!

Could Time Stand Still?









It get's crazy sometimes but we wouldn't change a thing. We are so tickled with Claire... and the older girls continue to amaze us with there unique talents and personalities. We look at how much Elizabeth and McCall have grown and we wish we could slow down time -- it just seems like yesterday they were little babies like Claire.
