Another Year Older... Life is Sweet!

Claire turned 4 on August 14 and Lindon turned 1 on September 2.

Claire had a Barbie birthday. It was great to get the family together. We are so proud of the little girl Claire is becoming. She loves going to Kids Club (a 2 hour daycare for kids at the gym while parents exercise). She loves going to church so she can go to Primary and her Sunday School class. She enjoys dancing and singing, playing with her Barbies and Princesses, and dressing up. She has a great vocabulary. Sometimes too good! :) We are truly blessed to have her in our family.

We didn't have a party for Lindon. I just baked him some cupcakes, and people brought him presents periodically. He is such a sweet little blue eyed blonde haired boy. He is a momma's boy, loves his sister, loves to eat, laugh, and smile. It's such a pleasure to take care of him.

Vacation

We went back to Moody Gardens this year. We had fun, and there were only a few dramatic meltdowns from Claire. ;)

Mother's Day 2010

My Mother's Day was wonderful. Kevin (and the kids) bought me the new Reebok Easy Tone shoes. The primary kids (ages 3-11) get up in front of the congregation and sing on Mother's Day. Claire refused to go, and when I did finally convince her to go up she wanted me to go with her. So she didn't go up. I was bummed a little because it would have been her first time to go up and sing in church. Oh well. There's always next year. :)

In Primary Claire made me a card and some chocolate covered strawberries. All the kids who went up and sang got a rose to give to their mother's, but since Claire didn't go up she didn't get to give me one. After Primary was over she went up to the Primary president and asked if she could have one for her mommy. :) She's so sweet.

I am truly blessed to have such wonderful kids. It's so hard being a mom, but it is SO worth it. I would never trade it for anything. Thanks Claire and Lindon for being so great and Kev for helping me!

After church some friends came over and brought enchiladas. We ate and had fun talking.

Lindon's First Astro's Game

We're raising our boy right and teaching him to be an Astro's fan! :)

HIS RED SNOW CONE FACE. HE LOVED THE SNOW CONES.

Pete caught a foul ball bare handed, and Seth never woke up!

We had a really good time, and the Astros even won!

Nederland vsPN-G Baseball Game

Kevin and I decided we were going to embrace being a Nederland Bulldog, and start early showing some school spirit with the kids. It's funny because Kevin graduated from PN-G, and if you know anything about this area you know that Nederland and PN-G are huge rivals. So Kevin is pretty much a traitor for living in Nederland and sending his kids there. :)

There's a store in Central Mall that sells shirts, hair bows, bags, etc. for the surrounding school. We went there and bought all of us a Nederland shirt and Claire a bow.

The game was fun. We left after the fourth inning though because it was way past Lindon's bedtime, and Claire said it was too loud. To her defense it was really loud and there were A LOT of people there.



I think she's trying to wink. ;)
When he's really excited he curls his tongue in his mouth.

After she's ready to leave. HAHA

Go Bulldogs!
