Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty!

Woke up one morning, and got James out of bed. Told him to go wake up Clara. Couldn't find him after a while. Decided to check on him. He had crawled up into bed and decided to lay down with Clara. I told him to wake her up . . . by giving her kisses!He tried his best.Didn't work! She sleeps like daddy.What a little prince!

Princess Cowgirl Party!

We decided to have a Princess Cowgirl Party for Clara's 5th birthday. We had pink and Blue cupcakes and chocolate and vanilla ice cream. We must of had 12-15 kids running around our little home. Every kid received a cowboy hat, bandanna, and water gun when they arrived.

The only game we played was pin the tail on the donkey. Clara was first, obviously. She did alright.The line to the donkey.Singing Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!Clara had a ton of presents. She loved them all!James loved the cupcakes!

We had a great time! Happy Birthday, cowgirl!

Every Cowgirl Needs a Daddy!

Clara and daddy love the book "Every Cowgirl Needs a Horse". Clara says she needs a horse.I told her she can use her daddy as her horse.

Clara's Birthday Sunday

Since Clara's birthday was on Monday, we celebrated it with the family early. Clara looked so lovely in her birthday dress! Mommy did up her hair specially just for the birthday girl. Clara wanted a pink cake-just like last year. Aunt Lydia and Uncle Mike gave her some nice things! She is my princess lovin' girl!

Clara wanted a cowgirl hat so badly!

James got a new shirt from Grandpa Choo-Choo.We got Clara an easel and some artsy things.Their usual position. A pet squirrel.

The budding artist!

Happy Birthday Clara!

A Vision of the Past

Clara was given this dress by Aunt Betty. It belonged to her daughter. I let the hem out a bit- the style back then was short with little knee-highs. My sweet girl! My sweet boy! What a ham!

New Hiding Place

One day, as I was doing laundry, I came back to this sight! What a stinker! Guess he thought he was helping me.
