Claire's first birthday, new backpack and the lake!

Once again, it has been a while since I've updated the blog. Tons went on in May so here are a TON of pictures to document it! First of all, for Mother's Day Claire got me a Kelty Kids backpack which I have to admit that Brandon wears it most of the time because the 23 lbs Claire weighs plus the 10lbs the pack weighs is pushin' it for me. It is AWESOME though and Claire loves to ride around it it.

Claire turned ONE one the 24th and to celebrate we went up to Bayview and took the boat out with my parents. She had so much fun and mostly liked picking up and trying to eat all the rocks=)

The next day we had a birthday party with family and friends. It was a blast and a great time was had by all. Claire absolutely demolished her cake and had a great time with all her friends. Here are the pics I promised!!

On her new Barbie hotwheels from Grams and Gramps

Her Lego wagon from Grandma Kari, she loves to get in and watch the people walk by!

Brandon and his brother Adam. Parker is one month younger than Claire

Claire loves to sit in the rocks in our yard and examine each one=)

This is one of my favorite pics! Claire fell asleep while Brandon was vaccuuming. So sweet.

Claire was so excited that Gramps let her drive the boat!

The water was cold but Claire could have cared less!
