And she's off!

Claudia has learned to get out the back door and into the yard with the kids. She loves to be out there. 

She loves to just be anywhere they are.

Just the other day she didn't realize the patio ended and went face first into the dirt. Poor kid! 

We cleaned up her face and off she was again as if nothing had happened. 

Love how she bounced right back!

10 months!

 

I feel like I just posted about Claudia turning 9 months and here I am posting about her 10th month. Crazy!!! (I guess I was a little late on posting her 9 month info and pics.) She is still has happy as EVER! She is so friendly to ALL she sees. She just started waving and it is just too cute. When she looks at you (not just me, almost everyone) her eyes just light up and she gets this big grin on her face and she opens and closes her hand to wave at you and you feel like you and her and the only ones in the room and that she wouldn't want to see anyone but you. It is so fun to see! She just melts my heart. She hasn't started to walk like the other to kids but she does cruise a bit more and can stand without holding on to anything for about a minute. Her legs are getting very strong and I'm sure she'll walk before shes one.

More fun with Daddy.

Daddy made the best fort by far! We ALL could fit in it and it was great! Way to go Daddy.

Chop Chop!!!

 

My wonderful sister Janelle chopped Madison's hair for me and 

WE LOVE IT!!!!!!

Well everyone except for daddy. But he'll get over it.

My baby boy is 6!

WOW! I have a 6 year old. That makes be feel old! We are so blessed to have him in our family. He is such a great big brother. He takes really good care of his sisters. He's even learning how to give Madison what she wants so she will stop screaming. Yeah sometimes it's a problem. But he loves to make people happy. He is growing by leaps and bounds I can't even believe it. He started reading in Kindergarten and has been doing great!!! He reads books to me now instead of me reading to him. It's Wonderful!!!! He reads anything he see.
For his birthday we got the Garthe and Anderson families together and went camping. It was a lot of fun despite triple digit temperatures. The campground has a splash park that the kids played at and had a great time. We will definitely be going camping again soon, maybe two nights instead to make all the packing and unpacking worth it.

On his actual birthday, Saturday we met up with the Anderson's for some Red Robin. Yum!

The "Suite" Life

 

Got got some pretty "Suite" tickets to the Angels game on Tuesday. Yup you guest it we got to watch the game from a corporate suite. It was Awesome!!!! We had food and good seats and great company. We took my brother and his wife who are HUGE fans and our good friends the Johnson's. It was really cool and it was a GREAT game! There were 3 home runs from the Angels. I could get used to going to baseball games like this! One of the best kids was not having any kids with us. (Thanks Goo!!!)
