Pictures of Clay

Clay in his coming home outfit again. He's put on a little more weight so he fills it out even better now.


Clay is looking at his toys.


This is an outfit Mimi got him.


Clay is sporting his jean shorts.


Clay was making a funny face.


The outfit Aunt Lyndsey got him. Sooo cute!!


The christening gown from Mimi. Grandma Beverly made one of these for my mom (Mimi) to use for each of her grandkids. There is a blue ribbon on it now, but for Alli it was a pink ribbon.

Clay's hammock

I got this Hotslings carrier for really cheap at Target and Clay seems to LOVE it most of the time. The only problem I see with this little "hammock" is that he is almost too long for it already! I really have to get him to sit in a little ball which he actually seems to like. He sleeps really good in it when it is time for him to sleep and he also wants to be held.

My new gDiapers

He is sporting his gDiapers for the first time today.

Play time

He was looking in his mirror and probably thinking "What a handsome little boy"!


He is not fond of his play mat, but he tolerates it for a little bit. He would rather be held and walked around.

Sleepy Clay

Clay seems to sleep a lot (which is nice)! He usually sleeps for 2-3 hours and then eats and is up for 30 minutes to an hour and then back to sleep again. Here are some pictures of his great moments sleeping...

Bath time

Clay still loves his baths!

Allison and Clay in the morning

Clay and Allison in the morning. She loves cuddling with him!

Mimi's visit to California

Mimi came to visit us in California. We were so excited to see her. Here are some pictures of her with Clay.

Mimi and Clay were chatting one morning.


Clay listens to Mimi very carefully!


Mimi was good at burping Clay and then getting him to sleep.


This is a christening gown that all of Mimi's grand babies have worn.


Mimi feeding Clay his first bottle!


Clay enjoyed listening to Mimi.


Mimi and Clay when she first arrived here in Cali. She sure was glad to finally meet Clay and see Alli again! We really miss her when she is not here!

Happy 3rd Birthday to Allison!

Allison wearing her birthday crown!


Here friends helped her celebrate her birthday.


Her birthday cake. It was a white cake with a layer of fresh strawberries and strawberry glaze. It was very yummy! This cake had all of Alli's favorite things...bugs, flowers and strawberries!


Randyll and Allison waiting for their cake.


Allison blowing out the candles on her cake. She had a lot of friends wanting to help her, but she did it by herself!


What a pretty little princess!


Allison was giving Randyll hugs bye after her party.


Allison's party with her friends was actually the day before her birthday so for her actual birthday we got her some balloons (and of course other presents). She had been saying for a long time that she wanted balloons for her birthday so that is what we got her. She was so excited about them. Here she is telling me that she is 3 now.


Grandma Beverly sent her a stuffed hippo for her birthday, here she is using it as a pillow.


Alli has now tucked her hippo into bed and is reading a story to him.


Grandma Pat and Grandpa Bill came over to wish Alli a "Happy Birthday" and bring her some presents. She got these cool glasses and a couple books.


Mimi and Papa got her these pretty tassels for her bike.


Mimi and Papa also got her this basket for her bike. Now she can carry her baby on her bike too.

To the park on Alli's birthday

Alli wanted to go to the neighborhood park on her birthday so we did. Here she is going down the little slide.


She loves to hang like a monkey!


Climbing with Mimi


Of course before we leave we have to play in the water puddles.

My Picture of Mommy

This is a picture Alli made of Mommy. She even drew me some legs, arms, ears and hair.

Pump It Up

We went to Pump It Up for Allison's birthday!


I had just taken Alli down the big (and fast) slide. Alli didn't care for it until right before it was time to go home, then she thought it was so much fun!


She is doing the obsticle course. I might also say that she was much faster than me at it!


After climbing up the stairs, she then had to go down this slide (which took a lot of encouragement on our part).


The birthday party group (except for Mimi who is taking the picture).

At the train park with Mimi

Allison is a great climber. Here she is climbing this rock wall.


Going through a tunnel.


In the train


Alli got a birthday gift card from the Toys R Us giraffe and she used it to buy this bat and ball set.

We thought that Alli would have a lot of learning to do when it came to hitting the ball with the bat, but she surprised us and did a wonderful job at hitting the ball right away...better than Mommy did!
