Happy Mother's Day!

We spent the day at the lake...what a wonderful way to spend the day with my family. I love being a mother! 








Fun times with Bryan and Sarah!

We always look forward to spending time with Bryan and Sarah. Once again, we had a great time! 

The boys are busy getting the corn on the cob ready...

                                           
Claire just loves all the attention Sarah gives her :)

Havin' a good laugh!

6 months old!

It's hard to believe that Claire is 6mos. old already! So far we've been blessed with a pretty relaxed little girl. 
Her two bottom teeth just cut through the skin and she's almost mastered sitting up!
 Her latest stats:
Length: 26 3/4 in (81 percentile) 
Weight: 19lbs. 5oz (95 percentile) 

Here are some more recent pictures of Claire at 6mos old...




                                               

Happy Easter!

Once again we had a wonderful Easter celebration. We started our day with worship at Uncle Dave's church and then headed over to the Larson's for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. I love getting together with family...everyday should be a holiday :)

Easter Weekend...


Playing with cousins and eating lots of Easter candy pretty much sums up what we did this weekend :)
