"Jack, Jack" and the zoo!

Clara tells me all of the time that she loves Jack, Jack and that he is her best friend!
She looks so old to me in the picture!
Jack was so brave today! He fed the "ducks".. Clara told him that they weren't ducks, they were "fingos"!
The gator was out today! Clara was very disappointed that we couldn't pet the "cocodrilo"... thanks Dora!
Clara loves the kangaroos! Jack and Clara spent a long time in this area!
Clara kept trying to push over the log!
Jack looks so much like Johnny to me!
Clara has finally started to smile for the camera!
Coloring with Jack!
Clara LOVED petting the animals!
Well, she actually never really touched one, but she pretended to pet them all!
Clara and Jack got along so well today! They are finally getting old enough to play together! We had so much fun at the zoo and Tara and I actually got to talk!

Our happy Princess!

Clara's favorite candy besides "worm gummies" is chocolate!
Clara insisted on putting on mommy's running clothes the other day when I was folding laundry! She ran around the house and danced and then she decided to carry her baby around in the shirt! It cracked me up!
This is Clara's favorite hiding place!
Eating a snack and watching Dumbo.. her favorite movie at the time this picture was taken! Now she loves The Lion King. She says "Fiki" is her favorite "monkey thing"!
Working hard!
Clara is starting to look like a toddler now. She has grown so much in just the last few weeks! She is always so much fun and is so funny! Her daddy and I think she is the greatest thing since sliced bread! She is about to be 2 years old!!!

Lane & Jeremy's Party!

Lizzy, Sarah, & I busily making cupcakes before the wedding shower that we gave Lane and Jeremy a couple of weekends ago! Sara, Lane, Lizzy
The cooks... Robby and Kyle (Lizzy's hubby) were in charge of the grill and they did great! We made 48 hamburgers and two big packs of hot dogs and everything was eaten!!
I think it has been a long time since I have posted a picture of the two of us! My hair has gotten so long... if I ever have a day, I will get it cut! I like my hair better short...
Our cupcake creation! It was Lizzy's very great idea! we made the flowers out of marshmallows! I love it so much that this is what I am going to do for Clara's Birthday!
The happy couple! I love that you can see Lizzy's preggy tummy in the background! She is one of the cutest pregnant girls I have ever seen!
This is my favorite picture of the 9 million I took of them opening gifts!

Bubbles

Remeber the movie where the guy says, "I wish I loved anything as much as my kid loves bubbles"? Well, now, I actually understand what he meant! This is what I get when I say "SMILE"!
Trying a different angle!
This one worked!
Taking a break!
Robby and I have set up our patio as a place for Clara to play. She loves it and we are both really enjoying being outside in the beautiful weather! Eventually she will be able to play in the whole backyard..... but we will have to wait for the funds!

Easter fun!

Keeping the tradition, Clara and I made bunny cakes for Easter! She did a great job with the eyes and ears! Me standing by what the Easter Bunny brought Clara. (The oh, so giant duck was actually from her Grandaddy Austin)
Easter Morning!
When she figured out that the eggs had prizes in them, she opened every single one of them!
Yes, candy for breakfast! Now I know why the 4 year old in our Sunday school class were always to wired on Easter Sunday!
YUMMY!
Thanks Grandaddy! She loves her Ducky!
Hunting Easter eggs at Mumzy's house with Thomas!
Grandmother made her dress.
Harrison!
I love this picture!
Thomas just lost his first two teeth!
The basket is getting heavy!
This is my favorite Easter picture!
THE EASTER BUNNY!!!
Clara loved him!
Harrison wasn't so sure.... Thomas knew it was my brother! (Thanks Michael, you are such a good sport!)
Family picture!
Clara studied him really hard!
I love the look she is giving him!
I love our little family! I think this might be a Christmas card!
FOUR generations!
