Pumpkin Patch =)

Well, we made the trip to Greenbluff yesterday. It was a beautiful day and Claire loved the pumpkins! It is so much fun to see her experience things for the first time. More than anything, she just wanted to eat the pumpkin stems=)

Brandon just installed a pull-up bar in our garage (crazy, I know...who wants to do those for fun??) He strapped Claire into her front carrier and she thought doing pull-ups with Dad was about the coolest thing ever! It was so cute so here's a picture of that too.

Happy Fall!!

Well, a busy week as ususal around here! Brandon was out of town for work so it was just us girls! I'm not going to lie, it's much harder by myself! You don't realize how much you really appreciate taking a shower while Dad plays with Claire until he's gone a few days and showering is dwindled to about 2 minutes=)

Claire got to spend some precious time with her Great Grandma Mary last weekend, 4 generations of girls together! It was fun to see. She is rolling over like crazy and trying so hard to crawl (it's more like a scoot). She is really starting to laugh often now which is so much fun and the cutest thing we have ever heard.

We hope everyone is enjoying the changing fall colors as much as we are!!=)

Claire and Gracie love eachother...it is so cute!!! She is such a happy baby and I can't help taking a TON of pictures!!! We are doing great will add more soon!!!

Here are a few pics of Claire

October already!!

Well, we're finally doing it. Karissa and Jeff talked me into starting one of these things so here goes. Brandon and I have been married for almost 4 1/2 years now and life is definately in full swing!! We had our daughter, Claire Nicole on May 24th and she amazes me more and more everyday!! She was 8lb, 22in at birth and now weighs in at 16lbs and 26in so she is definately growing like a weed=) Having a child is so much different and more than I could have ever imagined and I thank God everyday for blessing us with this little angel.

As for Brandon, he is busy as ever! He is the district manager for Boyd Coffee here in Spokane and when he's not working he's "crossfitting." This is a new workout he started a couple of months ago and he literally has a different body from it! I'm not surprised though, he works hard at everything he does. Brandon is also a great Dad and Husband. There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing him with his daughter and she lights up everytime he comes in the room.

I am really happy these days. I am incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to stay at home with Claire and loving every minute of it. She will not take a bottle so this pretty much dictates my day=) I love to take her and Gracie (our 2 year old Golden Retriever) on walks and spend time with family and all of my good friends who have recently had little ones also! I will try and update this often and want to thank Karissa for talking me into starting!
