Fun Times!!

I have been wanting to post these pictures in a while, but never have. For Christmas Claire got a camera. She absolutely loves it (even Mia enjoys it). Here are some of the pictures she has taken with her camera. The camera lens rotates so she can take pictures of herself. She can also add fun things to the pictures; which is one of her favorite things to do. She had added piggie tails to her hair.
In this pictures she added a binkie to Mia. Which is so funny cause I think Mia had a binkie in her mouth when Claire took the picture.
Here is our big lipped big smiles girl. This is one of her favorites to add on to the photos. We do get a lot of blurry and and random photos too. She loves taking pictures of her feet for some reason.
I can't believe this is happening already!! Mia has started to try and climb out of her crib. Luckily this is as far as she has gotten. I hope and pray she doesn't learn how to climb all the way out of it. I am not sure I am ready for her to be in a big girl bed.
We were able to go support Bryan's sister Terin in her role as Joy (a stepsister) in Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. The girls both had so much fun. We were able to get a picture taken with both stepsisters, Cinderella and the Prince. Claire of course was her silly self as always!
Our last big news is...Claire can now ride a two wheeler. She is no longer in need of training wheels. She is so proud of herself. Now to get her a bike she fits. This one is a bit too small for her.

Our Past Month

This post will not be in order of what happened in February, but at least it is an idea. This picture is one I love because it just shows what a great big sister Claire is.
One of Bryan's mission companions and his family came to visit us. They have a daughter a month younger than Mia. It was great. Mia and Liberty had so much fun together.
They also have a son a few months older than Claire. Hunter and Claire were quite the pair. They played so hard they were just exhausted by the end of the night. It was a great few nights of sleep at our house!
We let Claire try Pop Rocks for the first time. She wasn't so sure at first, but by the end she loved them!
The girls had so much fun taking Buddy to the groomer with me. It isn't the best picture since I was in the front seat driving and it was taken (quickly) at a stop sign.
Mia had a medical set back this past month. She was diagnosed with RSV. We lucked out with her and she never had to go to the hospital. We were able to treat her at home. She loves her fishy mask!
Claire discovered the Rock Band instruments. As a family we have had so much fun playing the game together. Bryan and I are grateful to Claire for always wanting us to play Rock Band as a family. What a great way to spend time together.
Mia even joined in on the vocals for our "family band". It was so cute to hear her try and sing.
Bryan was assigned to get the girls their Valentine's Day gifts. I think he did a great job (since we didn't really want too much candy in the house and they have plenty of toys), he got the girls pajamas and they love them!! Here is Mia in her cupcakes.
Claire was so excited for her Hello Kitty pajamas. She is even more excited that she has figured out how to make a heart with her hands. She loves to show you that she can do it.
