Claire's first birthday party!

We had a big party for sweet little Claire this weekend. It was fun that everyone could come celebrate her first year with us!

Serious Mouse

Our best buddies Jack and Marin came to celebrate with us!

And our cousins Dev and Tommy.

Claire hit the jack pot! Emme couldn't believe it!

The love for babies is in FULL force!

The trucks were a hit too!

Cake?!?

Emmerson was so upset that we were putting our fingers in the cake!

Hoping someone is planning on sharing!

Giving it a try!

Trying to decide if it is worth the messy hands!

YUM!

Silly Kevin!

Of course as the party is winding down someone is warming up!

Sleepy little birthday girl!

Dora the Explorer

We went with Anna and Martha to see Dora. It was such a fun morning.

All excited to go!

Emmerson was very serious during the show but it is all she has talked about since. SO I guess she enjoyed it!

Anna liked it too!

BIG girl

Can you believe I am this BIG? My Mom and Dad can't!

A date with Marin

We got to spend some time with Marin last weekend! It was so fun! Marin is 10 months older than Claire and 14 months younger than Emmerson. As of now Marin and Emmerson have a great time together. Claire is starting to get in on the action. It will be fun to see them all play together as they get older.

I walked in the room to find this! All three girls packed in the tiny house!

This was there car. Not sure where they were headed.

Reading some books before bed.

Must be a good show...or WAY past bedtime!

Daddy's Birthday

It was just Daddy's birthday! We had such a fun day!

Waking Dad up to tell him Happy Birthday!

Headed to Daddy's favorite place for breakfast!

Emmerson's favorite part...CAKE!

Winter Fun!

We have all kinds of ways to keep busy around here!

Sadly, I thought the camera was on video so I missed the real action but Claire LOVES to dance!

Emmerson finishing a few chores on her way to the tub! (She will love this someday!)

Her picture of Dad! Check out the eye brows:)

Just reading Daddy's Rolling Stone.

Funny how she loves the toy bottles but would rather poke her eyes out than take a bottle from a babysitter!

Maybe not "winter fun" but this seems to happen daily. She manages to get stuck somewhere every. single. day!

Claire loves babies now too!

We had a few more nice days that we could get outside to play!

Just working out!

11 months old

It's true! This sweet little girl is 11 months old! She is so much fun! She smiles and laughs all the time! She loves her sister and all of her sisters toys! She crawls all over the place trying to keep up with Emme. She walks along furniture, and is starting to stand alone much more often. She claps, waves, and newest trick is blowing kisses. She is still a good eater and is starting to try different foods. It is easy to eat real food when you have 8 teeth. She is crazy over her Daddy still (he doesn't mind a bit). Time is flying by with her but we feel lucky everyday that she is ours!

We can't believe we are starting to talk about her first birthday party. Here are pictures from the birthday invitation photo shoot!

Will these work mom?

Trying to escape anyway she could.

Take that!

Fine! I will be a good girl!

All done!

11 months old today! Look at all my teeth!

Even though we just told you how big she is getting she is still our sweet baby! This is after a long day of doctors appointments for her sister! Does it get any sweeter?!?
