Claire LOVES bubbles!

Claire's Birthday Party

We celebrated Claire turning 2 on Saturday. My incredibly talented friend, Jenny, created this adorable invitation for Claire's 2nd birthday party. We got a cake made to match. It was delicious!

We had lots of different things set up in the yard for the kids to play with and Jason's dad suprised Claire with a water slide for her birthday. I was worried about it being too big for her but she is fearless and climbed to the top all by herself. She had a blast sliding even after everyone left and it was way past naptime!
We had a hard time getting the kids to come eat. They all wanted to swim and slide. I still don't think some of them ever ate by the food we had left over.

Claire blew out her candle (it was the number 2) all by herself.

Although she couldn't eat the icecream, she loved the cake and has eaten leftovers today.



Daddy decided to slide after all the kids were gone. I think he had just as much fun as Claire did and she loved having her daddy slide with her!
The day was absolutely perfect and we had lots of fun spending it with so many friends. I can't believe Claire is 2! She is growing up so fast!

Wow! A lot has been going on lately. We moved into our new house and I started back to work. This summer went by way to fast but I was ready to get back to a routine and meet my new little students. This is Claire's favorite place to eat now. We have a great island in the middle of our kitchen and this is our new place to eat as a family thanks to Claire. She started this little tradition and we all enjoy eating together.



I cannot believe Claire is going to be 2 a week from tomorrow. She is growing up so fast and amazes Jason and I everyday with the new things she has learned. She has moved up to the 2 year old class at school and church and comes home with new things she has done everyday.













Claire helped Jason and I wash our cars today and she had so much fun with the waterhose. She is such a big helper!






I am feeling good and cannot believe Grey will be here in 2 months. This pregnancy has gone by so fast! We got some great 4D sonogram pictures at my last visit and he looks just like Claire.
