Thank you!

Just wanted to send a thank you to Great Grama and Great Grampa Klassen. We LOVE our new rocking chair. It is especially welcomed when Claire wakes up for her 4am feedings!
Thanks again Grampa and Grama....we sure love you!

Still friends

While I was in Canada, Brice went to Colorado to pick up a motorcycle. While he was there he ended up beating up his little sister...as usual. We like to call this Rileys third eye. It is a rug burn right in between her eyes. Nice big brother huh?

But, they are siblings and no matter what, they will always be friends. One day Riley will be able to get her revenge!

Claire in Canada!

Claire went on her first plane ride to Canada this past week to meet the other half of her family. It was so much fun. We were sad to leave but happy to come home. Here is a picture of Claire on her first plane ride. This is what she did the entire time. My little angel I am so proud!

Claire meeting Great Grama Dedman - my mom's mom. The four generation pictures are on my moms camera so I will upload them when she comes!

Claire with Great Grampa Dedman. He was quite infatuated with little Claire. I was surprised!

Claire with her Uncle Scotty. I think he liked her! Haha

I cant believe my baby brother graduated. Here is a picture of big sis and little one with Claire. I am so proud of my little brother!

Uncle Kyle and Baby Claire. I think he liked her too!

I have more pics on my moms camera to be uploaded soon!

Baseball

This season we were able to go to quite a few baseball games (Brice more than me) to support our friend Michael Bowen. He is the star of the team in our eyes and after his last home game he let us come down on the field and take some pictures with baby Claire.
Thanks for letting us be a part of your season Bowen. We are so proud of you and all that you have accomplished!

Our little half Canadian

Six more sleeps and this little darling gets to go to Canada to discover half of her roots. I had to prepare her with this little outfit :)

A couple more newborn portraits.

Our photographer gave me a disc with 376 images on it, but I resisted and only added a couple more to the blog!

Funny faces

Here are a couple funny faces that Claire makes Ok so this isnt really a funny face but I love how big her soother looks.

Brice got me in trouble for taking this so close to her face, but I thought it was sooo funny.

She loves her bouncer that Aunt Shannon and Lucy let us borrow!

Here she is with her big pouty lip - melts my heart already

April 15

This was the view from my front porch...on April 15. Enough said

Sleepy Claire

Sometimes it seems like all Claire does is sleep. Other times I feel like she is ALWAYS awake. Here are a few of her favorite sleeping positions. Beside her mom - I know - a VERY bad habit to get into

Arms straight up in the air

Arms up again

In her Boppy pillow

I think she was sick of me taking pictures

She was soooo grouchy about 2 minutes before this. This is her drama queen pose.

On her side. I think she looks like a little girl here and not really a baby

Marcy's Birthday Cake

It was Marcy's birthday on April 21 so I decided to put my cake decorating skills to the test and make her a cake. It wasnt the greatest but it took a really long time and I was pretty proud of it. And the good news is, I didnt drop this one.
The finished product :)

Easter

We got to celebrate Easter with the Crowthers for the first time this year. They were able to come out and meet Claire for the first time. The only ones that were missing were Ben and Kaley, who we got to see this past weekend. This is the whole family, minus Ben and Kaley

Claire with her mom and dad after the Easter egg hunt. Brice had to help out Claire a little bit this year and find her eggs for her. Next year she'll get them all I just know it.

This is me Brice and Claire on her very first easter. She was really into it.

Brice and Bowen decorating eggs. If you look closely, they say BYU and #27 in honor of Bowen on the baseball team.

Here is everyone decorating easter eggs for the easter bunny.

Claire's First Baseball Game

Many of you may or may not know, but our friend, Michael Bowen plays for the BYU baseball team so we try to go to a lot of the games. The weather was nice a couple of weeks ago so we packed Claire up and took her to the game. We got to sit in the front row so we had some good photo opportunities. This is Claire and I in front of the field. As you can tell, she really enjoyed the game :)

Cosmo even stopped by to say hello. I guess he couldnt resist how cute she is :)
