Happy Anniversary!

I woke up this morning and went downstairs to find a Victoria Secret bag in the kitchen and a note. The note said to click on the "anniversary" icon on the desktop of my laptop. Eric had made a video montage set to a beautiful song with pictures of us over the years. From our first date, our wedding, honeymoon, Claire's birth, and fun family pics. It was quite the tear jerker! Oh yah and in the VS bag was a silk nightgown since the 4th anniversary is silk (modern) or fruit and flowers (traditional). He is getting some fruit and flowers with dinner later! Our usual celebration dinner is steaks, potatoes, broccoli, and salad! This was the meal Eric cooked for me on our first date and we have been doing it ever since!

~Happy 4th Anniversary My Love~

4 years ago today...

...was our rehearsal dinner. What a fun night of Mexican food, margaritas, friends and family! To think how much we have accomplished in just 4 years! Damn I was super skinny back then too. I am still thin but back then I was s-k-i-n-n-y!

2 year checkup

Today was Claire's 2 yr checkup. I can't believe we don't have to go back for a well checkup until she is 3. I love seeing how big she is getting. What am I going to do for a whole year? I guess we'll have to get a height chart of our own now!

She is officially 3 feet tall at 36.5 inches and weighing in at 25.8lbs. Such a big girl.

Before we went to the doc today we had a visit to Freestone Park. Claire loved the ducks. Ever since the petting zoo that visited her school she thinks she can hold all animals. She kept yelling at the ducks..."I wanna hold you...hold duck...HOLD DUCK!!!!!". How cute are Claire's little buddies Kendal and Colin! They are so fun together.

TGIF

Yah! It's Friday! Unkie G is in town and he is going to babysit for us while we hit happy hour! I love happy hour and I love sushi. I love this cooler weather too. October is my favorite month of the year by far.

Claire is still loving the aftermath of birthday fun. She still has the presents rolling in. Unkie G got her a toy box for her room. I love it and Claire loves it too. She wanted to take a nap on it yesterday. =) She wanted everything out of her crib...blanket, Kitty, Big Bird. She even told me she was going to sleep. When she's not sleeping she is rocking out on her new guitar which plays some pretty cool songs!

The never ending birthday

This has been the longest birthday celebration ever but I have to say that Claire is really getting the hang of this whole birthday thing. 2 parties and countless gifts later...and still coming via UPS...and she is loving this thing called a birthday. She sure got good use out of her birthday girl t-shirt too!

We had such a fabulous day at the park today. We got seriously lucky with the clouds covering us today and giving us some much needed shade. It's still pretty warm here in AZ! Our friends came out to celebrate and it was super nice. I am so glad I decided to throw a friend party because we were originally just doing the family thing this year. It turned out to be such a great day. It really reminded me of how lucky I am to have met some great ladies here in AZ and their beautiful kiddos.

Happy Birthday Baby

I can't believe it's been 2 years already. How fast time flies when they are learning so much all the time. It's night and day from last year! What a treasure she has been to us (even when she screams louder than any other kid i have ever met!).

A few pics going back down memory lane. Pregnant at 9 months plus 4 days. Claire just hours after she was born. First birthday party princess! Blowing out 2 candles tonight with Daddy!!

I asked Eric if he thought it looked weird if I cut my head off in this picture when I cropped it...he said "not after seeing what it looked like before you cropped it"! NICE! So with that being said, this is the worst picture of me in the entire world but it's the only picture that shows my belly hours before I went into labor. I was HUGE!

Jumpy Jump

Claire got a trampoline from her Daddy for her birthday. I think she likes it just a little! Jumpy jump!!
