Run, Brandon! Run!

Brandon joined Cross Country for the first time this year. He had a great season and we got some fun pictures from the meets.

And they're off!

Nice form

Clara's a great spectator

Running to cheer on B for the finish.

Taking a break. Spectating is hard work.

Strong finish!

Celebrating Tina's 35th birthday!

Here are some great pics of the kids from dinner with the family.

Birthday fun

Clara says she had the "berry berry best birthday ever"

Enjoying her birthday lunch @ Chuck-E-Cheese.

5 years old!

Clara turned 5 years old this past weekend. She is now 42.5" (52nd %) tall and weighs 38 lbs (39th %). She grew 3" and 5 lbs this year - major growth spurt!

This little girl LOVES to ride bikes. She learned to ride without training wheels about a month ago and wants to ride every day, all day long.

These are her new PJ's and the necklace she made from a kit received for her birthday. She makes this crazy pose pretty often, not sure why or where she picked it up!

Another pose with new toys and a new outfit.

Clara Sayings

Erupting me = Interrupting me

It's a toss up - either she's Carl from Up or Garth from Wayne's world.

"roughing" it

Another Clara saying:

Roughing it = rubbing it

Tiki?

Clara: I hurt my tiki finger!
Me: Your what?
Clara: My tiki finger! That's her name! I hurt her and then I put water on her and now she's dead!

April 2012

Clara has been studying space at school this month. She told me today that she wishes she could make a “cont-sta-la-tion” in the sky (she says very slowly so she can get it right). She wants to make a real one, not just on paper. Then she showed us her drawing of the “Monkey Way”. She cracked herself up because she couldn’t say Milky Way. She says that she likes saying “monkey”.
