Texas

Leaving New Orleans was hard for me... Jeremy was returning home, while Clara and I were embarking on a journey that would take us 2,000 miles from home and keep us away for over 2 weeks. Despite missing Jeremy, we had a blast!!! Our first stop was TEXAS!!!

Clara and I played with Pat, Shala and Brennley for a whole week! We were treated like royalty. We had some of Shala's outstanding cooking, received a VIP tour of downtown San Antonio, visited Sea World, ate at one of the oldest & yummiest restaurants in San Antonio, visited the temple, went shopping in style and played all day, everyday!Clara loves Brennley. She can't wait to have her own sibling to play with...
We love to see the temple!

New Orleans

Back In May we visited New Orleans for Aberdeen Lifferth's baptism. We had a blast visiting with family and having a huge slumber party at Darren & Sarah's house! Darren & Sarah always know how to show us a good time!While in New Orleans, we toured downtown, ate beignets at Cafe du Monde and even went swimming! Clara loves the water!!

Cutie Pie!

Clara loves her new crawling position! She is really getting around now. She is always smiling. I brought her to the doctor with a 102 fever a few weeks ago and they said there couldn't be anything wrong with her because she was smiling the whole time we were there.Recently, Clara has had her tongue sticking out 24/7. We love it!
This is the creek behind our house. It almost flooded over during the recent flooding we had here in our area. We were blessed to be safe during the storms and not have any damage.
It's hard to tell, but this is a picture of Clara covered in water. She turned her cup upside down on her head and water poured all over her. It was pretty funny to see her reaction!
I love bath pictures!!! Clara loves taking baths. She enjoys playing in the water as its coming out of the faucet. She'll stick her head under the water, pull back with a shocked look on her face, smile, and then do it again. :-)

Let's Make A Deal!

Back in January, we visited Las Vegas with The Gages's.http://www.thegagefamilyblog.blogspot.com/ While in Vegas, we were able to attend two tapings of the show "Let's Make A Deal".http://www.cbs.com/daytime/lets_make_a_deal/

It was so much fun!! Here we are in our costumes. :-)

Jeremy won $100 during the "quickie deals" by spinning his basketball on his finger. He's so talented!!

Crawling

For the past few months Clara has been moving around by rolling, army crawling (on her belly using her arms to pull herself), and kicking off things with her legs. For the first time, she got up on her knees and has been trying to crawl. Here's a clip.

Happy 65th Birthday Grandma Lifferth!

On March 17th, we had a super fun surprise birthday party for Grandma Shirley Lifferth! A lot of her friends and family were there to celebrate. We had fun telling stories, eating delicious food and partying!Momma Lifferth is the most amazing woman I know. She is an outstanding mother, grandmother, wife, sister, friend, teacher, leader, listener, follower of Christ and example. I love her and owe all of who I am to her.

Clara enjoyed the party as well!

Sleepin'

I love pictures of Clara sleeping. She's our sweet little angel.

Clara loves playing with Grandpa Lifferth! Maybe it's because he's as youthful as she is. :-)
