Clay class projects

In April, I took Claire and Maddie to clay class.  Here are three of their beautiful creations!

 Ice cream, butterfly and blue bowls!  All of their projects had the same colors on them, since Claire would follow Maddie's lead. 

 Silly girls always trying to make one another laugh.

Dancing Claire and Mads

The girls loved dancing with McKenna on her third birthday!  It was so cute to see all of the girls dancing together!

Allie 18 month stats

Weight:  23# (25th %tile)
Length: 34" (>95th %tile)
Head: 47.5" (75-90th)

She is starting to talk a bunch!  I love hearing her answer me and she surprises me every day!  My favorite right now is when she responds "I don't know" with really cute inflection. 

Some of her favorite things: animals, bubbles, being outside, baths, singing and shoes.  She is a little momma's girl and is rather shy around new people.

Pretty in Pink

Cutie pie Claire!  I really like this shade of pink on her!

A day at the zoo

Upon entering Brookfield Zoo, we noticed a beautiful peacock in the tree! 

 Frankie, Claire and Maddie had a blast!

 The sea otter was so much fun to watch.  The kids were chasing him from side to side!

 The kids tried to get the parrot to speak back, but it didn't happen.

 The perfect end to a great day on the Merry-go-round.

 Oh yes, it gets better!  I stopped at DQ in PR since it was a hot day and I couldn't resist!

 Want some?

Museum and Boulder!

We had a great time at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.  Look at the size of that snake!

 Group shot!  Not an easy task!

 Allie loved these guys!

 Rock climbing and enjoying a beautiful day in Boulder.  I bet that cousin William has sat on this exact rock many times!

 Allie did not want to be in the stroller at all!  Too many fun things to explore!  She can really move those legs now!

Chip's Birthday party

We had a fiesta celebration.  Allie only lasted long enough to greet everyone, then had to go to sleep.  That allowed Claire to soak up all of the attention!  She loved spending time with everyone!

 She also enjoyed using Great Gramps walker and adding some cute animals to it!

 Claire loves her Gramps!

 The lovely ladies

 Claire was eager to get her hands on the cake!

Lots of Newtons!

 Claire doing another of her favorite things.  She helped Gramps open up his presents.

Here we are making our way to surprise Gramps for his 60th Birthday!

The kids were pretty good,  but with almost a 2 hour delay, Matt and I were exhausted trying to keep them entertained and happy!
