Got Carrots?

Claire and I carved pumpkins last night while daddy was in class, we had a good time, honestly she slept through most of it, and I had a good time. I will show you the finished products after I take there pictures when I get the candles.


When my sister was in from Australia, we went on a few shopping trips, one was to Wal-mart and we found the cutest bunny costume ever, I wasn't going to get it, so Stacy got it for me, therefore our baby girl is the cutest bunny ever. Her daddy was going to dress up as a carrot, but we ran out of time to get the costume ready, sorry Stace I know you were dying to see that one.



We took some pictures in her First Halloween shirt, and apparently it glows in the dark, but Claire doesn't always like the dark so I haven't tested it out. what fun we had taking pictures, even though I am not all that great at it.



Well, I am aware that she is crying big time in this picture, but it was so cute, I set her down to take a picture and that is what happened she just sat there, the costume was so bulky for her that she couldn't slide or anything.

Gardner Village

Sorry not everyone was looking at me, or they all would have been in the shot.

Well, Last Friday, my sister, sister-in-law and my mom and I headed over to Gardner Village. They were having there wee witches events and therefore was very very busy. We didn't stay very long but took some pictures with some witches.


There was one witch that was so fun, she was all dressed up and acted just like a real witch, she was so fun, we hd to get out pictures taken with her.



The rest of the witches you are suppose to go on a witch hunt, we never got the paper so we don't know if we found all the witches around Gardner Village. But it was fun to see what was there, we also found floating pumpkins in the river. Good times ladies.

Claire absolutely loved the witches, okay so I don't know about that, but she was so good while we were there.

A belated baby shower

Well last Wednesday I was given a baby shower by the people I work with. I was suppose to have the orignal shower the 4th of Septmeber, but seeing as my little one was born the 3rd we had to change that to a day that we could come. They were all so great and generous with there gifts. We got some great stuff, clothes, diapers, wipes, books, puzzles, fun stuff. We love our new book, "Little Pea". It is about a little Pea that has to eat all of it dinner, but the dinner is candy. He has to eat all of his candy or he can't have any dessert and he does not like candy. It is such a cute book. If you know of any other cute books please leave them in the comments.





We got a picture with one of my most favorite teachers at the school I worked with. She and I worked together the last two years, and a little in the month I was there this year. She is an amazing 3rd grade teacher!


Thank you so much for the shower gifts everyone they are so great.

Claire's Blessing Day

Yesturday we were able to Bless Claire. it was a great day, she although knows when big things that involve her happen. She didn't sleep all night, therfore I got about 3 hours of sleep. She did the same thing before her surgery as well. We had lots of family come, Aunts Uncles, cousins, brothers sisters. It was a lot of fun, after the block meetings we had lunch. It was a long, but good day. Anyways here are some fun picutures that were taken.



Here she is in her dress and her beautiful blanket Grandma Cooper made, thanks Grandma Vonnie



The cute Family!!!



It is amazing the spirit of a blessing day. Babies are absolutely special, and carry the spirit with them.

Park City Here We Come!

Well two of my sisters, my Mom and my oldest niece took a little trip to Park City on Friday. this is us in the Drive through at Wendy's, my mother is not in the vehicle anywhere in the first picture, she decided that it would be faster if she got out of the car and went inside to order, we finished at about the same time.



NO MOM, Where did she go? Oh right inside!!


theres Mom
this is Claire while driving



This is her "Mom are you finished taking my picture yet?" face



it was a good trip, we got some good deals. I got some warm clothes for Claire

Haircut

Well I got my haircut, I cut a good chunk of hair off, I did so for a few reasons:

First: I was painting a shelf white and my hair that was in a ponytail fell forward into the white paint, oops

Number Two: It was in my way, I would eat and it would fall into my plate, I would lean over and it would get in my face. That is when you know your hair is two long.

Three: Claire didn't like it when it got in her face


So I chopped it off. I will show you the long and then the Claire Blessing's post has the short.

What?! One Month already!

Well, our beautiful girl is already a month old tomorrow the 3rd. I would write this tomorrow, but I have time today and don't know about tomorrow yet.

Claire is an amazing little girl, and has been through a lot her short time here!
Mommy getting sick and having to have her early was such a blessing in disguise. I might have had a 8 pound baby and 21 inches or more. I am grateful for 5 lbs, 7oz.

Having a pediatrician who found a heart murmur and something that wasn't quite right, it could have not been found until she was older. We are grateful for great doctors.

She loves being outside, when we go on walks she is awake almost the whole time, loves the world.

She has a love/hate relationship with the bath tub. Sometimes she loves it and sometimes she absolutely hates it, someday when that rubber ducky and toys come out, she will never want to get out.

She loves blankets, and has started to grab onto them.

She doesn't always have to have her binki, which is a relief for me, and she doesn't suck on fingers, yet.

She is gaining weight and is almost done with premie clothes, is starting to fill into newborn clothes. She has graduated into newborn diapers.

Her skin rolls are turning into fat rolls, and she seems to always be hungry

When she is awake she is awake. She can't seem to get enough of the world around her, when we go to new rooms or places she has to check everything out.

We think she is absoultely great and beautiful and even though we don't get a lot of sleep it is more important to have her fed and loved.
