9-12 continued


Clara loves to read. I caught her reading the newspaper the other day.
For Clara and Parker's 1st birthday, we had a Prince & Princess Party. This is the outfit that she wore. She loved the wand and wearing her cute tu-tu.
We brought Clara with us when we voted. It was her first time voting.
This is the $2.99 swimsuit I bought for Clara at The Children's Place. They had an awesome sale where everything was $2.99!!

9-12 months

We've taken a bunch of pictures over the last few months and forgotten to post them. Here they are...
Clara is our little doll!!
She loves the water and had so much fun when we went to Nashville Shores.
In the bath, Clara loves to drink the water. She'll stick her face under the running water and loves the thrill of it!
It's been a super fun summer! It's been so fun watching Clara grow up and explore the world around her. She loves water, animals, clouds, balloons, anything colorful, people, toys, stairs, sleeping and lots of food!

Florida

Upon arriving in Florida, we were met by Uncle Bob, Jenn, Casey, and Chloe. They brought us to this awesome Spanish restaurant. Dinner was great and so was our slumber party at their house that night.
The next day we went to Indian Rocks Beach. This is the area where Grandpa Zurawski grew up. The weather was great, beach was awesome and the sting rays were cool to see.
Clara had a blast visiting the beach for the first time. She wasn't too happy about the salty water, but she enjoyed herself and didn't want to leave.
After playing until were we ready to drop, we went to eat at Crabby Bill's. It was so yummy! Thanks so much to Jenn & Bob for showing us a great time in Florida.

Utah

After our visit to Texas, Clara and I flew to Utah. We were able to attend Brent's graduation and visit with the The Gages, Lifferths and other friends & family.
Laura and I did some awesome couponing and saving at Walgreens!! Laura bought 36 rolls of TP for $0.86!! Can't beat that, hun?
Clara was a trooper on the plane ride from Texas to Utah and then from Utah to Florida. She is the best little girl in the whole world! She brought smiles to everyone's faces that we encountered on the plane.

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. :-)
