Clara's first Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Clara!  Her birthday was yesterday, August 10th.  We can't believe that it's been a year.  Time really does go faster when you have kids.  With her birthday on a Sunday, she wore her new dress, and we had a few good friends over for cake and ice cream.

This is her birthday dress from Grandma and Grandpa Fell. 

 And she's wearing her hair clippie from her Aunt Wendy.  

Chocolate Cake with chocolate frosting!  Don't we all wish we could eat it this way?  She was a little hesitant at first, but she loved it!  She had a 4 inch round cake all to herself, and almost ate it all!  Who does she get that from?  Mom or Dad?  Uhh.... both!

Clara's little Owie!

On our last night in Idaho, Clara fell and hurt her little arm.  She was wrapped up in a sling for the next week. Our family wanted to see pictures of her with her little cast on.  I know this is the first of MANY owies yet to come.  What a cutie! 

This is the face she pulls when you ask her to smile for the camera.  

She smiles, squints and waits for the flash!  

Catching Up!

Ok!  So it's been a while since my last post.  Here are a few pictures to let you know some of the things we've been up to during the past 8 months!  I'm new to the blogging world, so forgive me if we're jumping around here!  We loved having some of our family up to visit.  If you need to get away- come see us!  

Brandon and Lacie came for a visit.  It rained the whole time (of course) but we had fun.

Here we are with our Boise family Ryan and Emma Beery! 

 

Up on a hike to Twin Falls in Washington.

My mom came to visit in March.  Clara loved getting to know Grandma!

We missed you Grandpa!

Rock on, dude..... Rock on!

Adam's parents visited in April.  We took a tour around Puget Sound.  Perfect weather!

We had a blast!  Clara loves her Grammy and Grampy!  

April and Guillermo visited this spring also!  We went up to Victoria, BC, and stopped at the Tulip Festival on the way back towards Seattle!  The fields are really amazing.

Sarah and Maddy came to Idaho all the way from Virginia.  It was so great to see them.

We all stopped in to see Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Fell.  We miss them all so much!

Clara and Kaden!  Notice the flow of drool from both of them.  Their shirts are soaked!
