Booty...

Hannah and Emma were getting ready to take their bath. Emma got in but Hannah was dawdling. Emma called, "Hannah! Come on and hurry up." Hannah came running and replied, "Alright, let's get my booty shakin!"

Um???


Side note... I saw the CUTEST little shirt that I must get for Clara. It had the picture of a cute little girly scull and crossbones (with a bow) and underneath is read, "Argh! Change me Booty!"

Ahhhh! so cute!

Space

Hannah and I were sitting on the couch this morning snuggling. I was thinking about stuff and I was just gazing ahead of me contemplating. Hannah said, "What are you looking at?" I replied, "I'm just looking off into space." Hannah rolled her eyes at me and said, "This isn't space, it's a house."

Kids

Each year around Christmas time I have the kids talk about themselves and what they're good at. This is the first year I'm posting it on the blog. So... here's what the kids had to say about who they are...

Aaron - "I am awesome. I'm the best in my family at video games. I can solve any addition problem you through at me. I can run 90 yards per hour and I can run on rocks because the skin on the bottom of my feet is like padding so thorns can't hurt me."

Emma - "I'm a really good singer. I like arts and crafts and I like making letters for people. I'm really good at taking care of Clara."

Hannah - "I'm good at dancing like a monkey. I can wiggle like a zombie. I'm good at drawing at school and I'm good at being me, Hannah."

Clara - (Clara of course can't talk yet, so these are the things her Mommy has noticed about her.) Clara is good at walking and running all over the place. She loves to growl like a monster like her brother taught her and she loves to dance whenever she hears music.

Happy Birthday Clara!

I can't believe our little Clara Bear is already 1 year old! It's just amazing how fast they grow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLARA! WE LOVE YOU!

Clara's birthday photo shoot... At first I tried posing her on a rock out front, but she was captivated by the bows on her shoes so she wouldn't look up at me, only down at her toes. 

Then Mommy got smart and decided to take pictures of her doing her favorite thing in the world, running!

Go Clara, go!

Cutest baby ever!

Next we went inside and gave Clara her birthday present. She got her very own kitty puppets! She loved to snuggle them!

Time for cake! She wasn't too sure at first...

But then she dove in and had fun, as you can see, most of the cake didn't actually make it into her mouth, but hey, that's what 1st birthdays are for.

All done...

We took a quick bath, Clara loves the water.

One more snuggle with her kitties and it was time for bed. 

Happy Birthday Clara, you are the cutest little squirt in the whole world!

School Election

On the way home from school today Aaron and his friend Tyler were talking. They'd held a fake presidential election in school today and each kid was able to vote for the candidate of their choice.

Aaron said, "It was fun voting today, I voted for Mitt Romney."

Tyler: I voted for Barak Obama, he's our 43rd president.

Aaron: (slaps his forehead) Oh no Tyler! You can't vote for Obama! He's the last person you should vote for!

Tyler: But he's our 43rd president!

Aaron: (rolls his eyes) Yea, but my Dad say's he's an idiot!

Hahahahahah! Good to know he's learning well!

Woohoo!

Hurray! I think Aaron has finally decided he loves his baby sister. Here he is reading his chapter book to her. :) This makes his mommy HAPPY!
