Block Parties

Here is a glimpse of Claire at the block party this Friday night. She got into the band playing a Taylor Swift song. As you can see, we have a mess on our hands

Happy Birthday Troy!

The birthday boy

We had fun helping our friend, Troy, celebrate his first birthday yesterday. He is a special boy with special parents. It is really fun to watch our children grow together and become friends too. We also helped Laura celebrate her 30th birthday, but I failed to take any pictures. I am getting bad about that. Happy Birthday to our dear friends!

What a mess!

This morning I was folding some laundry while Claire played in her room for a little while. I heard her rustling around then she proudly came out wearing this. Originally she just had on the shirt. But she decided to accessorize it. I just had to laugh at her. She is definitely opinionated about her clothes. I just try to make sure we leave with a shirt, shorts, and shoes on!

Lake Martin

Our usual spot

Going to dinner. We look nice here but boy did things get ugly.

Yes, Bucky wore shorts to a public restaurant.

This past weekend we rented a condo at Lake Martin with some of our friends. My dream is to one day own a lake condo/cabin. It is only about 40 minutes from our house to the lake. I know we would really enjoy it. We went up Friday after work. Our friends, Britton and Diana, and Mindy met us up there. We had a wonderful dinner and hung out. Saturday we went for a boat ride, swam in the pool, and went out to eat. I even took a nap with Claire. Sunday, our friends the Schoonover's, and Grandma, Granddaddy, and Mindy came. We all went for a boat ride and swam. Then we ate some hamburgers and took a quick nap. We had a really fun time, despite a whiny 2 year old that we couldn't make happy with anything. Poor thing. We found out she has a sinus infection, so I am sure that was the culprit. We look forward to many summers at the lake with our new boat.

10 Year Reunion

I am a little late posting this. Two weeks ago we went to Birmingham for my 10 year high school reunion. Bucky and I had a lot of fun seeing people from high school and catching up. A lot of things have changed for us in the past 10 years! But all for the better. Who knows what the next 10 years will bring!

A day in the life of Claire

Goes from getting a manicure & pedicure with Mommy to
riding horses with Daddy.
These pictures were taken in the same day even though her dress changed. Notice she is wearing sparkly princess shoes while riding her horse. To live the life of Claire Street....
