Cincinnati Reds

 The other day we got invited to go to a Cincinnati Reds game by a doctor that Ryan has been shadowing for school. It was so neat. Ryan and I both love any sporting event. Dr Kaiser was so nice. He bought our tickets, paid for dinner and bought Claire a cute little Cincinnati Reds hat. I guess it's official. We will be Cincinnati Red fans from here on out!

We sat in front of some annoying, loud drunk people. They made it up to us by getting Claire her first baseball! How cool is that?

There is no better way to celebrate summer then by the old American tradtion.... baseball!!!

Thunder Over Louisville

We had the opportunity to go to Thunder Over Louisville. It is an air show and "the best pyrotechnic show in North America". It was awesome!! It was also free! How cool! This is definitely going to be a yearly thing.

Claire was enthrolled! She loved the airplanes. We thought it was going to be too loud, but it wasn't. She loved every part of it! She would do her little cat call every time an airplane went by.

Our little airplane girl! Grandpa White (who is an aerospace engineer) would be soo proud of her!

Seriously?!?! How precious!!

One of her favorite airplanes.

During the firework show there would be a random cannon that would make her a little clingy...

But if mama was there she'd be just fine :)

We already have to fight the boys off! This was a little four year old who thought Claire was quite cute! They actually both tried to kiss each other at different times...Oh man!

The whole day was really fun! We can't wait to go next year!

Roayl Lineage

She is a princess for sure! We were at a store and my sister put this on her and she automatically lighted up!!! She knows she comes from a royal lineage!!

An Easter Trip to Denver

Claire and I had the awesome chance to visit Ryan's wonderful sister and her sweet family of four beautiful girls during Easter time. Amy just had her baby, Akayla two weeks before, and Charles, her husband, had an neat opportunity to go to the Masters Golf Tournament. Amy and Charles flew us out so we could help while Charles was gone. I don't know how much I helped but I know we had a ton of fun. I love that family! They are just so much fun!



This is Claire acting like a big girl eating her icecream! So cute!



Once again, I couldn't help myself and I had to make the girls all matching dresses. They looked so cute!

Claire and her cousins. Amaya (far right) was still trying to figure her little sister out....

Now she is trying to figure Claire out. They were a ton of fun! The two kids on the left were Amy's kid's cousins. That was really fun getting together with them!

The two girls were worn out after such a fun day!

This picture was taken on another day. This is my sweet four neices and Claire. The three little ones were passed out! They were such a fun, vibrant, sweet group of girls!

Aaliyah, Akyra and Akayla, some of the most beautiful, sweet girls ever! Aaliyah was a baby whisperer. Claire absolutely loved her!

Claire was such a doll. She ended up having a double ear infection...poor girl. She was such a trooper!

Two sweet diapered cousins!

Easter morning girls! These two little girls are three months apart. They loved the egg hunts and then loved shaking the eggs!

Just like Santa Claus, Claire DISLIKED the bunny, greatly!

Amy and her beautiful girls!

Claire at Amy's mother-in-law's house. You can tell she was starting to get sick....

Can you imagine what these goregeous girls are going to be like in 15 years???? Yikes! hide the keys!!

And....they're off!!!!

We had such a great time in Denver and we are so grateful to Amy and Charles for flying us out there. We also had a great time getting to know Amy's in-laws. They were wonderful, sweet people! So grateful for family!

For the Love of Animals!

My sweet little baby Claire is practically perfect in my eyes ;) One thing that leads to her perfectness is her intense love for any kind of animals and the animals intense love for her. She'll probably end up being one of those crazy cat women but that's perfectly fine to me :D

Claire loves any kind of cat. She especially loves our cat Vlade. Ever since she was about 10 months she had learned how to make that squeaky cat call. She purses her lips up and calls away for him. He loves her too. He loves to sleep with her. Sometimes he loves her so much that when he is done sleeping her will wake her up so he has a play mate...Thanks Vlade.

So during Ryan's spring break we decided we should take Claire to the zoo. She LOVED it!!!

She pointed at and cat called all the animals.

And she growled too. She thought that she needed to growl at the giraffe to show him she was tough...

The otter was definitely her favorite one. She was so excited! She was banging on the glass and calling for him and laughing. It was so cute!

 Claire has also been in the process of learning how to walk. She wanted to walk everywhere we went.

I really can't put into words how much I love her!

Her daddy is just as obsessed. Its fun when we go out in public with her. Ryan is so proud of her and loves to show her off.

That's her cat calling to the bears...That's my girl!

She loved the vantage point she had on daddy's shoulders.

Then we saw a bunch of bamboo and she wanted to walk in between them so bad... What a weird child.

Don't worry she growled at the aligator too. Infact she tamed him...

Yup, she is perfect to me!

Monkey see, monkey do!

The tulips were beautiful!

It was a successful trip to the zoo! She got completely worn out! I can't wait to take her again. We completely skipped the petting zoo. She will have a hay day there!!

St. Patricks Day

Our church had a St. Patricks day dance. I just couldn't resist. I HAD to make a tutu!! We had to celebrate our Irish heritage!

Dad and Uncle Scott dancing with the Claire bear. She loves to dance!

A group from our relief society. Awesome sisters!

Claire was such a doll she got this group of primary girls following her around. So cute!

Our little St Patricks doll!

Her dad is so proud of her and loves her so much!
