These are her 2 favorite toys.
Her latest trick is to "talk" on the phone. She holds the phone like that and says "daddy, daddy, daddy" over and over.
Don't those eyes just kill you?
This girl is so much happier now that she can crawl!
Being silly at the park with dad. (Yes she's in her jammies. Don't judge me.)
First Clara helped me pack
Once we arrived there was lots of time for play at the park.
Clara loved to play with cousin Olive. I don't have too many pictures of them together, but here Olive is coloring at her "desk"
We were able to go to the wedding of Nate's good friend Chad and Rachelle.
These three were the 3 Musketeers the summer I met Nate. It was fun to see them all.
Aren't those the most beautiful and exotic looking flowers you've ever seen?!
Of course we made time for bowling.
Nate and Andi celebrated their birthdays together like old times.
We went to dinner at Red Robin to use Nate's birthday coupon and Clara got her first balloon. Lucky girl!
Clara loved playing with her Nana and Papa by the end. (It takes her a couple days to get warmed up to people.)
Thanks for having us. It was a great trip!
Our trip to California pretty much consisted of food, family, fireworks, and fun! Here's some pictures to prove it!
We were in Idaho for 9 days (more about our summer adventures later) and look what we found out back when we got home!
Carrots and beets
enough lettuce to open a salad bar
green beans and snap peas
and out of control zucchini!!! Nate doesn't even like zucchini so I promised I would make him eat it, enjoy it, and not know he was eating it. Here's what I came up with...
Chocolate zucchini cake...yummm!
Grilled zucchini (ok this obviously wasn't hidden, but he did say he liked it.)
and pie! Not apple pie but zucchini pie!!! It looks and even tastes just like apple pie. Trust me it's good!!!
Any other ideas out there? I've still got tons more growing. Maybe next year we'll skip out on planting zucchini. ;-)
