{Baseball Time}

Last night before supper the boys headed out for a little ball.  Clara was wanting to get in on the action, so we went out for a bit to watch.  Cash is actually getting pretty good, and hit the ball quite a bit!












kiddos!

Cash wanted he and Clara's picture taken with their ni-nights the other am.  I thought it was too adorable!

Could be twins!

I took this picture of Clara last night in the bath.  After checking them out after both kids were in bed, I remembered that I had one just like it of Cash!  Their teeth are THE SAME!  Cash was older, maybe 13 or 14 months.

Happy Birthday Benjamin!

Friday the 13th was BJ's b-day. He was out of town all day but the kids and I celebrated his birthday all day! Cash picked out Spider Man plates and napkins while we were grocery shopping earlier in the day. We also picked up balloons and streamers to decorate the house. We made the "family nut cake" as Cash has named it before it got too hot to have the oven on. Cash asked if I could please make him a chocolate cake as that was his favorite cake and he didn't really like nut cake. So I ended up whipping up two cakes!
BJ got home later than usual that night, so Clara was unable to help us celebrate. Hence why there aren't any pics of her! I took the kids to the dollar store earlier in the day and let Cash pick out a few gifts for BJ. He chose: a metal spoon, a soccer ball that opens up to a washcloth, a box of toothpicks and a putty knife. We all got a kick out of his choices!! I also let him pick out a card....it read: "Hey Girlfriend, remember if it feels good, do it! If it feels really good, do it twice!" SWEET!! HAHA!!

Clara 10 Months

Ten months old?! Soon it will be first birthday time for our sweet girl! The last month has brought lots of personality! We are pretty convinced Clara will be giving us a run for our money in the future! The girl is getting WILD! She loves playing rough with the boys and jumping and climbing all over! Her crawling style is getting more refined and has now learned to pull up on the coffee table. I imagine she will be walking sometime around her birthday. We caught her the other morning pulled up to the toy box checking out the toys. Just the other day she learned to clap :) This is what she was doing when I was trying to take her picture. She says "yay" and claps. She can say Mama, Dada, yay, more and buh-bye. She still just has the 4 teeth, and likes flashing them all the time! She has just started this scrunchy nose smile so her teeth are blazing for all to see!! It's pretty cute. She is kinda starting to be less clingy to me. She will go to BJ a tad more often these days. Clara is still Cashys number one fan! I think she has already realized what buttons to push with him....She often pulls his hair then starts to laugh or smile, so I think she knows exactly what she is doing. Just the other day she started bouncing her knees and throwing her head back when I ask her to dance. She must be gearing up for class in about 2 yrs!!

Exotic Birds and Chalk on the Walk

Every Thursday at the library in Butte, there is some kind of childrens program in the afternoon. It not a sure bet that we go, depending on moods and naptimes. I am glad it worked out to go this week!! And I just so happened to throw my camera in the diaper bag. Cash was loving the birds!!
Our friends Melissa, Dylan and Ryan
Clara is happy to sit in the stroller, as long as I have plenty of snacks!

[No Title Necessary]

And afterwards, we made them clean up!

Lunch on the Lawn time...

It feels like summer has officially begun around here! Lunch on the Lawn in Bozeman is the unofficial kick off of summer for us! We went for a visit yesterday and took the car in to get the tint fixed up and purposely scheduled it for Wednesday :) The Emerson and Lunch on the Lawn did not disappoint! It was fiery warm day, the kind where you merge out of the air conditioned car to be met head on with the brick of summertime heat we all know well. Gathering the blanket, sunblock, lunches and toys for Clara we marched in the park greeted by the sounds of the first local band to play at the festivities.
A square of tiny pink flags blocked off an area holding an inviting aray of bright colored hula hoops. Cash was gun-ho to try this year! He did pretty dang well, and had lots of fun spinning the hoop around his tiny waist!
Having lunch....
Bubble machines from Parks and Rec Dept and Roeby's from The Museum of the Rockies provided extra fun for the shorties!

[Backyard Swimming]

We got a new backyard pool last week and it's PINK! After all the dang blue around here, I decided that our pool can be pink this summer. Leave it to Cash to tell me that he "can't swim in that pink pool, since it's a girl pool for Clara".... He finally changed his mind and his sissy couldn't have been happier!
Isn't her had ADORABLE?! My Etsy score :)
Apparently things looked funner outside the pool...
....and then she decided to take a dip again!
We are enjoying the warmth that has finally made it's way to Montana! It's so nice to be able to head out to the backyard for some sunshine and fun!
