Father's Day

Other June fun!

Claire went swimming for the first time and loved it...sorry for the fuzzy pic.

 Bryan, Brent, and Jason took first place in the Hooligan race up in Wausau with their motercycle.  The wheel used to be attached this is an after shot.  They go down a rapid for the competition.

Liam and Claire got some playtime together...Liam showing Claire how to open the "secret" drawer where the remotes are.

Shannon and Jason were up for Alissa's wedding.

Our strawberry patch is producing lots of yummy berries!

Wedding Weekends

We had two weddings in a row this June one was a WI reception for Bryan's cousin who got married in Alaska and the other was my little sister Alissa's which Claire was the flower girl and I was the maid of honor.  Both were beautiful in their own way and it was great to visit with so much family and celebrate two amazing couples.  I love weddings they are always so filled with excitement, hope, love, and family.  It makes me remember our big day and how far we have come since then.  I'm truly blessed.

11 months old

So we are in the home stretch to the one year mark.  Claire has grown up so much in the past month.  She is crawling like she has been doing it forever and is pulling her self up on whatever she can find and is even bending over to pick stuff off the floor.  We have been introducing more chunky foods with minimal success but I'm sure it will get better with time.  Most of the day is a joy with Claire but we still struggle with bedtime and her wanting to stand in her crib and cry instead of go to sleep...hopefully this is a phase since she is so into standing right now in general.  Enjoy this months photo shoot.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a blast this past weekend.  My dad came and took Claire to the park then we hit the road to spend the night at Grandma Burts house.  The next day we hit the road again to a friends BBQ in Stoughton.  Oh and Claire is officially crawling!!!  enjoy the pictures.
