Clara, refusing to sit on the blanket!
Jack and Clara!
Johnny, pushing Jack, his first time ever in a swing!
Hollywood, Kate!
Clara and I met Johnny, Tara, Jack, Katie, Kate, and Sawyer at the park today. We had so much fun. Clara had an allergic reaction to her sunscreen and the poor girl's eyes swelled up. She was also a little blotchy, but other than that we had fun! I think Clara and Jack will be good friends. They are both pretty busy, but really happy. Kate is literally the most laid back child I have ever met, and simply adorable! Robby and I are so excited about Tara and Johnny moving to Birmingham! I think this summer is going to be filled with lots of days at the Zoo, and the park! Clara says, "Yeah for friends"!
We like to read in the mornings.
She made it to the top! She gets so excited and squeals when she slides down!
Here first 
Booths at the Magic City Art Connection
Walker (singing) and Uncle Larry (with the straw hat)
The Magic City Art Connection is going on this weekend. Robby help with it on Friday by Volunteering at a booth in the children's section. He and some other architecture peoples made movable walls with the kids. I thought it looked pretty creative! We took Clara and went Saturday for a couple of hours. It was a beautiful day, but so very very hot (I think the summer might kill us)! We were delighted to finally see Walker, Jessica Marie, and Uncle Larry play some great music on stage. Clara rocked out in the grass to their music, it was her favorite part of the day! There was some amazing art there, Robby and I decided that when we can, we will buy art for our house from some of the vendors. We particularly liked one artist by the name of John Lytle Wilson. If we ever have a son I want one particular painting of his to hang in his room!
Clara really loves "helping" me with laundry! She is also starting to really show her personality! Robby says that she is a lot like her mommy!
Thomas, my sister's 5 year old, spent the night with us Friday night. His teacher, "Mrs. Piggy", who's real name is actually Mrs. Peggy, gave him Traveling Ted for the weekend... To Thomas this was a HUGE responsability and he was very worried about it. TT is a monkey that each weekend a different child takes home. While they are with TT the child is to take pictures of something they do, or write a story. Robby and I tried to help him, but apparently our story might not be appropriate for a class of 5 year olds........
This is a picture I took sometime last week! I had put Clara in the bed with her daddy while I was getting ready for work. When I came back in the room to get her, this is how I found them! Soo precious!
Clara and her daddy in the waiting room at Children's right before her surgery! (above)
We had to wake up really early this morning to take the Princess to Children's Hospital to get her tubes placed in her ears. She did really well, honestly I think the worst part about it was not being able to feed her after midnight! She was not happy with me this morning when I didn't nurse her! She was fussing at me and pulling on me and yelling! It was quite a show! But when we got to the hospital she was just so interested in everything that was going on. She panicked when the nurse took her from me, but got over it quickly when the nurse pulled out this butterfly for her to look at! The doctor told us that her ears were still really infected today, even after the weeks of antibiotics. That was just one more thing to let me know we had made a good decision about having the tubes placed. Clara has been great all day, she doesn't even seem like she had surgery! Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers!
Easter Morning! Clara woke up and was so excited to see what the bunny left for her!
This is a new bowl she got that she can keep her snacks in. We put some animal cookies in it and she was so cute trying to figure it out!
Here is the Easter dress I smocked for Clara! Isn't she 
It was supposed to be a Christmas dress, but it took me so long to make it I had to add the yellow flowers and call it an Easter dress!
We spent the afternoon at Robby's grandmother's house! 
Rob and Clara about to go on the Easter egg hunt!
Clara had so much fun looking for eggs and putting them in her basket.
Making an Easter bunny house cake with Jakob
My brother dressed up like the Easter bunny for everyone at my mom's house (my mother wants me to note that the brown house is where we keep my dad's tools)! It was really great!
