Railroad Park with the Domschke's!

How lucky are we to see each other 2 weekends in a row??

Lucky.

We had a nice Saturday morning at the park,

road the trains, ate and played on the playground.

Thanks for meeting with us!

Autumn and Maddy.

We even dragged this guy out of bed.....

look how happy Clare is because of him!

Dean!

They two make me happy.

Necklace Making.

We went to Ikea with Gigi the other day and

she sent the girls home with some necklaces to make.

We got right to it after naps:

Look at the concentration!

Done!

Cute girls.

Thanks Gigi!!

Domschke Slumber Party!!

After Ella's party we headed over to the Domschke's for a slumber party!!!

Chris helped the girls make pizza..... they all liked the cheese!!

Clare, Autumn and Maddy.

What a big girl!

We played a lot, did crafts and Sarah and I

did a Pinterest project....

then it was bed time for little people.

Autumn and Maddy snuggled in the bed together.

Big snuggles!!!

The next morning we got ready to head

to our old weekly stomping grounds... the zoo!

Dean and Clare wanted to drive,

we put our foot down and said just around the house.

Jeez.

Kids these days.

l.o.v.e.

Clare Claresy (Maddys new nickname for her).

So sweet.

Snack time!

Thanks for letting up crash and eat your food, next time is up here!!

Ella is 1!!!

Ella had her first birthday a few weeks ago,

so we headed down to Tucson to help celebrate!!

Clare and Gigi.

Clare and Grandpa.

Tutu girls!!

Good thing we were there cause Ella and Uncle Will

could not have opened up all those

presents without the help of Maddy!!

Misc.

We went to dinner at my Dad and Susie's last week

and Clare actually wanted to touch the elk.

Normally she cries, this time she picked his nose at the request of her Dad.

I saw a version of this on Pinterest.

Cute, except it really tickled their feet when I was writing on them...

Point is these girls really love their Dad!!!

Clare Turns 2!!

Clare turned 2 a few weeks ago and we had a fun little party for her.

Toy Story was the theme, but she called it her Jessie Cowgirl Party.

So cute!!

Happy Birthday Girl!

Cupcake time!

Sisters.

Clare had some helpers with her presents.

Good thing because when the 3rd present

she opened was a baby she had no interest in anything else.

Happy Birthday Clare. We love you!!
