Scared, Nervous and What a Rush!!

This past weekend we went to Spokane to visit with John, LeeAnn and Katelynn (Bryan's cousin and his family). We had so much fun with them...just like we always do. They took us to a shooting range. I have done this before and was excited, but when it came to trying out this gun I was terrified!! Here we all are after shooting the full auto...Kriss Vector .45!!

 The following are pictures to prove we shot it. You can even see the fire as it comes out of the end of the gun. Hopefully soon I can post a video of us shooting as well. Bryan and John loved it...I was terrified and nervous to do it, but so glad they supported me and I can now say I shot a full auto Kriss Vector .45 machine gun!!

 

Here are the videos....

She is 6!!

I can't believe it has been six years already. Claire was so excited for her birthday and her ice cream cake!

Claire wanted to have a princess birthday party. We told her she could have one IF we were in our house. At that point we didn't realize how crazy it would be...we moved in Friday and Saturday, Claire's birthday was Sunday and her party was on Wednesday. I am so grateful to all those who helped us move, but especially to my parents who helped me pull off everything.
At her party, they decorated crowns, dressed as princesses, watched Barbie Princess and a Popstar and then were able to have glitter fingernails and or toenails...then of course presents and cake. Claire loved every minute of it...her only complaint was she didn't get to invite everyone she wanted (if that was allowed she would have had like 30+ kids at her party).

 

Here are the beautiful princesses...minus Mia (she was still sleeping).

I can't believe that Claire is already six years old and she is already talking about when she turns 8, 12 and 16...oh man I hope the time doesn't pass that quickly!
