Out with the new, in with the old!

The yellow outfit Clara is wearing has been wore by Aunt Helen, her mommy and even her Uncle Taylor (don't tell him Mom put him in flowers and ruffles)! It is a little short in the arms and the elastic has wore out in the pants, but it is over 30 years old!
Clara also has a favorite toy, her dolly given to her by Aunt Annette! She carts it around the house and every once in awhile, Dallin gets a hold of it to hug too, but only when Clara isn't watching!

A tisket a tasket...

Dallin in a basket and anything else he can climb into or onto! I am surprised he hasn't had staples too!

In my next house I will not have TILE!

As you can see, tile stairs are not conducive to little heads. Clara fell backwards in our house and hit the back of her head on the tile stair. After 2 hours in the ER with both babies, the result was 4 staples and no naps for anyone! She is quite the little "toughy"! I guess this is just the beginning of staples, stitches, broken bones, etc. that I am sure to endure, I mean the babies are sure to endure! I didn't think it would start when they were only 14 months old!

This bed is too tall...this bed is just right!

During our vacation in Utah, Granee bought a couple of extra mattresses to accommodate the crowd we invited. The babies loved that they could climb onto the bed and lay on the pillows! They played on this bed for hours (okay not hours but minutes considering their attention span)!
Dallin loved laying back on the pillows and Clara had to have all of her blankets on the bed with her!

Back Blogging: Birthday Party

We have been a little busy for the past month or so and I admit I have been a little lazy with the whole blogging thing. I will strive to do better, but I am making no promises!
We went to Granee's house in Silver City for Thanksgiving and subsequently the babes' birthdays. Our BFF Sarah and Don made the trip from AZ as did our Grandma, Uncle Justy and Aunt Helen. Sarah made the amazing cake and came up with the book theme. She is truly wonderful! eating the cake was something Clara enjoyed thoroughly while Dallin was a bit more reserved, but all in all they had fun and received many great books!
