Sunday night camp-out

We took a little road trip to Helena last Sunday afternoon.  The kids and I did a little Target shopping while BJ got a haircut.  We packed along our dinner stuff and our grill and had supper out in "the woods" as Cash calls it.  I think having a camp-out dinner may be one of his favorite things to do!!


::A 1st Birthday Celebration::

This post has been sitting in the "draft" box for about 2 weeks!  I upload pictures here and there, but never seem to be able to finish....
 
We had Clara's Birthday Party at Rocky Creek Farm in Bozeman.  I got the idea last summer before she was even born.  I love Rocky Creek Farm, and thought that it would make a perfect scene for her birthday! 
 
I spent weeks planning, and getting all the decorations ready.  I think it turned out pretty cute.  Clara and the other kiddos seemed to have a good time.  The pictures pretty much speak for themselves!!

12 months!



It's hard to believe this sweet little thing is already one!  This past year has gone by in a flash.  Although time has flown by, I can hardly remember what our family was like without Clara.  She makes us all laugh with her wild budding personality and made us a complete family when she was born.


Not a whole lot has changed since last month.  She is babbling more, and just this weekend started saying "bumpa" to Grandpa Hugh.  Nana and Grandpa got her a shopping cart for her birthday, and I would venture to guess walking may be just around the corner!  She pushes her new baby in it like a pro!!  She is so tiny, it will be crazy when she starts walking (or running!) around here...

We had her 12 month check-up on Friday.  She is healthy by all accounts!  Right on track developmentally where she should be.  She weighs 18 lbs 11oz (13%) and is 28 1/4" tall (24%) she is such a tiny thing!  She has the tinest feet!  I am glad she didn't inherit my big tootsies!! She is still only in a size 2, which makes the super cute girl shoes out of reach for a while still :( 

Her favorite things to do lately are.....unload a clean, newly folded laundry basket, steal her big brothers ni-night (blanket) and YELL!  I think she has learned that in order to get any attention and a word in over Cash, she needs to be loud!  A small temper has been budding lately...I think I may be in for it in years to come. 

A new tooth popped up last week, so she now has 5 teeth and working on a 6th.  All in all she tolerates them coming in fairly decent.  I am happy to continue to report that she is still sleeping through the night!!!  Usually she goes to bed between 6-7pm and is up between 6-7am. 


This is her last picture with Jenny.  After 12 poses I am done!!  It has become harder and harder to get her to sit still as the months go on.  This was actually the very first shot I took of her, and it was perfect!  She is quite the ham when the camera comes out.  Making a huge smile or opening her mouth up real wide to flash those new teeth is a common occurance around this house.

Time flies and sometimes days are long and stressful around here, but we love our Clara June and can't imagine our life without her!

Hauser

We were planning on meeting up with friends on Sunday to go out on their boat...but a change of plans had us heading up to Hauser with just the four of us.  The kids had fun playing in the sand and water.  After we parked and were unloading, Cash started to strip down....he said that he needed to get naked to go to the beach!  Apparently he thought we took them to a nude beach?!?!  Afterwards, we headed to the cabin for supper.  I would have taken pictures up there, but after someone told me  " "I pooped my drawers" (his words, not mine!) he was forced to strip down nude until I could get his alternate shorts dry enough in the sun!  Never a dull moment around this house I tell ya!  We ate and headed home to two sleepy kids (my favorite, by the way!!).
