Lara Beware

Luckily this ended with no injuries. Lara is still loved (too much) by Claire.

We attended Corey Hansen's wedding a few week-ends ago, and it was fun to dress the girls up. I thought the desserts would be too rich for the girls and I would begrudgingly have to finish them, but I've trained them too well. They love their chocolate, and the desserts at this reception were incredible. We couldn't complain about the company as well. Brock has a wonderful extended family. We always enjoy seeing Ashlyn Tracy's namesake and the reason Brock and I met and fell in love:), Tracy Bentley.

With their love of sweets, it's a good thing Claire likes to brush teeth now. It is amazing how some battles seem like they will never end. She used to clench her mouth shut every night. She opened up fine for the dentist, but not for me. Now those fun times are behind us...


The Saturday before Memorial day we stayed most of the day at the beach with my siblings, parents and Aunt Cherryl and Uncle Leo who were visiting from WA. Ashlyn picked out some sunglasses that are pretty snazzy and enjoyed chasing squirrels with her cousin Sarah. Claire and cousin Eric are turning into playmates which is cute. I never thought my mom's big bug glasses (on Lara) would ever be in style again, but I guess fashion revolves in a circular fashion.

We also had a fun beach day with the Davis family two weeks ago. Katie and Cordell were visiting from West Virginia.

We made an ingenious baby trench so Lara and Elijah could hang out in the shade. Eve and Ashlyn had fun playing, and I think that making 'smores at a beach bonfire should be the end of every day.
