Photo shoot

The other day I got Clara dressed for the day and put her on the bed. She was so adorable I had to take some pictures. And then I had to get Hannah in on the action. She's a lot more difficult to work with, but I actually got a few cute ones, so I was proud of myself. I love these pictures. I didn't realize until I put them on the computer just how many funny faces Clara was making, but they're pretty awesome. The other funny thing I noticed is that in almost every picture they're both doing the same thing with their arms. Too cute.

Smile!

Fist bump?

                                      What a difference a year and a half makes!!!

Clara's face. Haha.

I wish I knew what she was thinking...

Kisses!

Abby's birthday party

My niece, Abby just turned 6. It's crazy. When I met her for the first time, she was only about 8 months older than Hannah is now. I can't believe it's been that long. It's been fun to watch her grow up into such a little lady. She is such a sweetheart and we sure love her!

Emily loves Clara already.

Ice cream!!!

Playing with Uncle Luke

Hannah commandeered this slap-on watch that was part of one of Abby's presents. She cried when we took it off.

Abby rocking her cool new necklace

Cowgirl. Yeehaw!!

Emily wanted to test out the new hula hoop

Chillin

All of the kids wanted in on the "new bike" thing, so we went back outside and found as many bikes as we could. They had a blast.

Hannah was hilarious pushing Emery around on the trike

Welcoming Clara

So a couple weeks after Clara was born, we had a bunch of family over to see her. My intention had NOT been to have everyone over at the same time, but somehow that's what happened anyway. It was a crazy afternoon, but still a lot of fun.

First time in a swing. She loved it!

Sisterly love

Hannah loves Clara... sometimes. Hannah does not like to share. She hates when people hold Clara. She thinks their attention should be on her. This is really hard for me, since Clara just wants to be held. ALL the time. She literally does nothing but scream if she's not being held. She is the complete opposite of Hannah. Even at one month old, no one would have accused Hannah of being a snuggle-bug. But Clara definitely is. So Hannah gets mad at me all the time now. But every once in a while she likes her sister. She loves to sit next to me and hold Clara and gets mad when I take her away. On the seldom occasions when Clara plays on the floor, Hannah loves to read to her and help shake the rattle. She also likes to help me give Clara baths.

HELP!!!!!

So pretty

I have such pretty little girls. I love getting Hannah dressed for church. She loves wearing her dresses and she always looks so adorable. However, she's impossible to take pictures of these days. She will smile and say cheese, but she does it while running full tilt towards the camera. Oh well. I also took some glamor shots of Clara, cuz she's so cute. Enjoy.

CHEESE!!!!
