Porcupine Bay

Well this Summer has been such a busy one. We have had so much fun. We had our annual trip to Porcupine Bay a few weeks ago. I was really worried how Claire would be since we camp so close to water I was worried how she would be. My worries were for nothing...she was so cute. It was a great week. I'm so happy with how she did. Here are some of the pictures from the week. Hope you all enjoy them.

Well this first pictures is of one of the bats that seemed to fall in love each night with the inside of one of the wakeboarding boots. For three different nights bats seemed to make the boot their home. The first time we found them...the boot had about 15 bats living in it and then other two times there were at least three bats in the boot. This year was the year of the bats I guess!!


Claire loved to help cook. She thought that by using the giant spoons and moving the dirt around that she was somehow helping cook.
We took Claire on her first tube ride behind the boat, but it didn't exactly happen like we had hoped. She cried almost the entire time, but after that all she kept saying was "Tube Claire Ride." She loved it.
We brought this new tube called the "see saw". It was a bit of a work out to do it, but a lot of fun also.

Claire would put the tubes on over her head...all of them. Than she would say "hula hula hula." She thought she was hula hooping.

Claire loved to be on the boat. Even in her prayers she wold pray for the boat. It is cute how much she loves being on that boat.

We had fun swimming together as a family. Claire wasn't so sure of swimming in a lake. She is used to swimming pools.

Claire just loved to hold the flag for anyone wakeboarding or riding the tubes.

Tubby Time

The other day we told Claire it was time to take a bath. Being the kid that she is...she went to the bathroom and climbed right in and started playing with her toys. What a smart kid we have...there were only two problems. #1 there was no water in the tub yet and #2 she was still in her clothes.

Look out American Idol

One of Claire's favorite things to do is sing. Of course we like to have her sing for us. Here is her new microphone (which she loves) and she is wearing her high heels (poor Claire she has wide feet and the heels don't really fit her).


Here are some of her favorite songs to sing. I am sorry in order to enjoy them you must also listen to me sing. Please forgive me.

Storm

Last night we had a storm come through last night. At first it was just lightening, but then the down pour came. Before the rain Bryan and I caught a few pictures of the lightening. We thought you guys might like to see some of the pictures. These were our favorite ones.

Its been a party

Daddy is excited. Clarie has found an interest in playing guitar hero!! She's a natural!

Cole had a good time pushing Claire around in the stroller after our family pictures. Claire had such a good time she fell asleep.We got to attend Cole's baptism and Janey's blessing. It was a great to be there.We took Claire to her first parade while in Utah.

The cousins got together and had a dance party. This is a little video of Claire dancing.

Ute Stampede and Carnival

One of Claire's favorite things was the flag that was skydived into the rodeo arena. All night long she would look up and say 'flag'.

Claire loved being so closer to all the horses and cows at the rodeo. One of the rodeo queens were nice enough to allow Claire to pet her horse. She loved every minute of it!!

Claire really didn't like the Merry-go-round, but summer was happy about riding it.

Claire wasn't so sure about the choo choo ride

She did like the giant slide.

Family Reunion

Summer even helped me make Fry Bread for dinner. She was such a wonderful helper. I'm going to miss her being around. Summer you and your family will have to come visit me. I miss you all lots!!!
Each one of Claire's cousins helped out by playing with her and pushing her around in her carseat...Summer especially loved helping us out with Claire.



Grandma and Papa brought hats for each grandchild to decorate. Claire loves hers and her cousins love their hats also.





We went the the zoo while we were there. She found an animal that she loves to say the name of. It was just so cute we couldn't help but put it on here.
