PIRATES!!!!!!!

All of the pictures above are from the McWane center. Robby and I took Clara there yesterday morning just to hang out for a little while and decide if we want to be members or not. It was fun. Clara has been potty training and she loved the fact that they have a kids potty that is just like a "big people potty". She has done so well, she has had hardly any accidents and will go all night without wetting! YAY! My baby is such a big girl!

We made pirate hats out of newspaper yesterday. Clara loves crafts and this was one the whole family enjoyed making!!!! :)

Imagination

These are just some pictures that I have randomly taken over the pst couple of weeks. Clara is really fun to play with. She has a great imagination. She and I make the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse a lot out of a sheet and either the couch or the kitchen table. She loves to play in warm clothes, she loves crafts, playing dressup and lots of other stuff. My days at home with her are the best days. :)

WAAARRRRR EEAAAAGGGLLLEEE!!!!!!!!!

We watched the game at Will and Sarah's house with a bunch of other neighbors! War Eagle!

Snow!!!

Everyone remembers the "big snow" the other week. Here are the pictures from that. Clara had a great time and it was the perfect "break". We didn't lose power, but the roads were too icy for anyone to fo to work on Monday. This is where we realized just how awesome our neighbors are. We spent the entire weekend and into the game on Monday night with our neighbors... eating breakfast, eating dinner, watching the game, playing games and watching movies.... it was great fun! Clara especially loved our make-shift sleigh........

First day of school!

I finally found a way to post the pictures that are on my camers. Here are pictures from Clara's first day of school! She still LOVES school. She has a friend named Saide. She loves to color and sing and cut with scissors. Apparently it is the best place ever. I am so happy that she loves it.

Clara's first day of school!

Clara started school Friday the 7 of January. She just walked right in and started playing. She did great! The teacher sent a note home saying that she loved painting and playing in the sand box and that she was always first to clean up! I was so happy that she loved it. She told me all about it today and even says that she has a new friend named Saide. We took lots of pictures and I will try to post them, but our computer crashed Thursday and I am having to use the iPad for everything. I was so upset when it crashed because I lost everything, every picture and video we have of Clara that is not on this blog was on that computer..... Why do people create viruses? It just seems mean..... Hopefully we can find someone who can at least get my stuff off.

Sock Puppets!

Clara with "Mommy Puppet" (BTW, she dressed herself today) Clara talking to "Clara Puppet"

Robby went into work today, so Clara and I played at home and rested. We made sock puppets! It was really fun. She colored everything on them and I sewed on eyes and bows! Clara named the puppets, "Mommy Puppet" and "Clara Puppet"! Maybe tomorrow we will make a "Daddy Puppet" :)

Hiking!

Clara rode on Daddy's back for the first part of the hike.

She ran and picked up things and jumped over stuff for part of the hike...

Learned about trees, seeds, and roots...

Rested on a log.....

Rode on mommy's back and put her "seed family" in mommy's shirt for part of the hike...

Saturday was such a pretty day that we went for a hike. Robby and I used to go for hikes at least once a week, and it is something we want to start doing again. It is so much fun and is so relaxing. Clara really loved it too!

Playing with Christmas toys!

Clara and Jack play really well together now. Clara really loved the train set that Jack got from Santa! I tool this picture at Tara and Johnny's house Friday night.... I thought it was cute, they are both playing with their new Ipads :)
