A Day at the Zoo

A couple of weeks ago, we met our friends the McIntyres for a day of family fun! We met at LaGondola for an early lunch and then headed to Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington!
Here is our crew....
Eden, Claire, Harper, Lydia & Gavin. (Claire just said "those are my friends")
Claire posed for a picture with the Tiger.
And they all acted like monkeys!
But the highlight for Claire was definately the Merry go Round!
They also have a wonderful playground and splash park at Miller Park!

Our baby girl is 2!

Blogger is not my friend these days....here is a post from about 2 weeks ago. I am trying to post another one, but not having much luck.

Claire had a very big birthday weekend! We've been on the go a lot this past week, and the weekend was no exception.

Saturday morning Claire woke up on her own, but she didn't know mommy was going to catch her sleepiness on camera.

After a little cuddling and cartoons, daddy made Claire a special birthday breakfast. Claire was less than enthused when we set her in her chair.

But she got excited when she found out she got cinnamon rolls from a can! Or maybe she was laughing at daddy's singing!

Doesn't she look so proud of her self and soooo grown up!

She did a really good job blowing out the candles until her nose got a little too close to the flame.

She wasn't a big fan of the cinnamon rolls and requested a banana instead.

Saturday afternoon we headed to Onarga to celebrate the wedding shower of Trever's cousin, Kelly.

I tried to get a picture of Claire and Maddi together but didn't have much luck. This is a good picture of Claire! :)

The bride-to-be!
When we got home Claire wanted to help daddy with chores. Since her dress was already a mess from her snack at the shower, and it was from a garage sale, I let her wear it outside.





On Sunday we tried to take a few more pictures between church, breakfast with Maddi & Kempton, and a shower for Miss Cierra.

But after all of that, Claire was soooooo sleepy that she put herself in time out.

And finally, after a full weekend of parties for everyone else, we got around to unwrapping Claire's presents from mommy & daddy!

She got a diaper bag with bottles, powder, burp rag & diaper for her babies, a charm for her bracelet, a book and a big bubble wand!






And at her 2 year check up last week she weight 29 pounds and was 36 inches tall.
