Mother's Day 2010

Mother's Day was such a beautiful day this year, both in the sunny weather and wonderful treats that I received from my loving husband and adorable daughter! Clara was able to tell me "Happy Mother's Day" all by her self and made me a beautiful card with stamps and stickers all over. Such a treasure!!!
We enjoyed a pleasant morning drive to Chehalis to share the day with my family. This trip Clara took a little more interest in cousin Brendan. She asked to hold him then laid down and talked to him while he was kicking on the floor. He is such a smiley and happy little guy and it was neat to see her enjoy him so much!

The girls with Grandma Wanda and Grandma Jan.

With the weather so perfect, Papa Mark found lots of outside activities to entertain the girls - wagon rides, bug collecting even motorcycle rides in the back yard!!

We spent the evening at my sister-in-law's parents' home BBQing and celebrating Matthew and Ryan's 28th birthday (which was Saturday). Clara and Taylor ran around in the field and rode the trikes. Clara had been trying to ride the trike at Grandma & Grandpa's earlier that day, but couldn't get the hang of peddling. Tyring to keep up with Taylor at Jerry & Linda's must have been the key, because she seemed to find her grove with the pedals. Next thing to master, combined peddling and steering!! We are so very proud of all the new things that Miss Clara is learning to do.

Uncle Matt & Uncle Ryan with all the kids after blowing out their candles on their super yummy German chocolate ice cream cake! YUM!!
