Swimming in Houston

We went to Houston this weekend since Brad had a three day weekend. He starts his new job Monday! we had a great visit with Mom, Dad, Nanny, and Aunt Alli. Claire loved swimming in the pool, going on walks, tormenting the cat, going up the stairs, watering the flowers, visiting Aunt Alli's classroom at the middle school, checking out project graduation at the high school, going to church, getting her toenails painted for the first time, and eating lots of good food! The adults got some sun and played games. It was also my parents 34th wedding anniversary! So much fun!

Splash Park

Another fun play date!!!

Full Moon

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Friday night we went out to eat with friends, Saturday we went to the mall to do some shopping and let Claire ride the carousel and eat lunch. We bought the wall stickers you see in the pictures... Claire was avoiding a diaper at the time and just happened to run over to the word "moon" with her cute butt sticking out!!! We also went to church Sat. night because it was Father Joe's 50th anniversary of being in the priesthood. He baptized Claire. Sunday we went to a pool party (Claire loved the water and we had a great time as well) and today Brad took Claire for a jog in the jogging stroller and this afternoon he is going to the Rangers/Yankees game! We are also remembering all of those brave men and women who serve our great country.

Goodbye Mimi

We got back last night from Brad's Moms funeral and burial. We drove to Lubbock on Sat. The viewing was on Sunday and the funeral on Monday. Both were very difficult but the amount of friends and family that came to support Brad and his family was amazing. This was the first funeral I have ever been to so I was kind of a mess...sorry Brad for having to comfort me at times instead of the other way around. I didn't want Claire to see her Mimi because I want all of her memories to be of Mimi alive and happy. There was always someone there to babysit Claire and that was so helpful. We drove to College Station after the funeral on Monday for the burial on Tuesday. My parents met us there and again it was a beautiful service. We know Mimi is at peace now. We will miss her, but I will try my best to make sure Claire knows how much Mimi loved her!

Fun in the Sun

It was a hot one today so I put Claire in her bathing suit and let her splash around. The water was freezing! She had fun at times and hated it at others (you might be able to tell from her expression.) I'm glad we have this for those 100 degree days that aren't too far away...

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful Mom's I know and love!

Slide and Haircut

I ran to Toys R Us this morning and bought Claire a slide. She loves it!!!! I also bought one of those slpash pads that you hook the hose up to but I think I'll wait until it's really hot to get that out. Also, I cut Claire's hair for the first time...just trimmed the back and sides a little. Enjoy!
