Happy Birthday Papa Harris!!!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!!!  We got to spend a wonderful evening over at the Birthday boys house and feast on fresh crab once again... We won't disclose how many years we celebrated, but we will say you look amazing for your old age :-)

 The girls were having fun on this sunny day and I couldn't resist these little feet....

Nutella Sandwich, good thing we were outside getting messy faces!

 Glamour Shot!

 She'll have to work on her gracefulness... We thank Nana for this trait... Love you MOM!!

 Nothing like a drink out of the hose.... Along with a lot of choking and water out the nose!

If she see's a phone.... She's talking to Daddy... "Hi Dada"

Apparently colds & flu bugs still exist in the summer :-(  Poor Clara was down for about a week with this one.... These are the most common positions she was in.  Lot's of rest.....

And this little one didn't escape it.... She know's when she's tired and finds her sleep sack, lays it down and assumes sleeping position.  Yes... this is how she sleeps all nights.... Bun's UP!

Happy 4th of July!!!

 Girls... Getting ready for a fun day in the sun with family and friends.  Boy were we lucky to have such a gorgeous day!

I'm a little parched.... Martini anyone???

 Sweet Papa was able to help Clara with some fun sparklers this year.  Daddy had bought quite a few and this little one didn't let ANY of them sit untouched.  She stayed up until almost midnight... then crashed down at the water on Mom's lap.  Poor Daddy had to go back home with Natalie, but a big thanks to him so Mommy and Clara could have a sleepover. 

 Watch where you aim that thing!

Trent was trying to show Clara how it's done.... And with a little help from Papa, it can be done!

 Noah was so busy playing, he almost missed out on the sparkler fun!  Big smiles for these kids on this night!

Time to Bring out the little slide for Natalie... What a big girl... She went down that thing one time, and off she went all by herself... up the step, down the slide....! Over & over & over....

But not without some water breaks... It was a HOT day!  

 Weeeeee!

 Pipper... Enjoying that swing still. 

 Shades are on!!!

 But not for long....

 What  a guy... That Chad.... He is DRENCHED after a 9am-5pm day of pressure washing the house.  I think he needs a margarita! STAT!

  After a day of lots of work for Chad, we got to relax in the sun with The Price's....

We don't get to see them often enough!

Noah... Down the slide and into the pool, with caution!

Can't believe Clara tried it.  You probably can't tell from this picture, but she put the brakes on REAL quick at the bottom.  Then tip toed into the pool.

  BUDDIES!!!!

  CLENCH em' up Clara!  I won't say any names, but I know who's buns she has (and there not mine!)

THE END...

Nana's Princess.... & Another Fathers Day

 Gigi invited us to a tea party at the Bird's Eye View Bed & Breakfast... This family host's AMAZING parties throughout the year!  This was a special day for all the little girls!  They got to come dressed up as princesses and be pampered like one too!  I can't wait for Clara to grow out of this shy phase so she can enjoy herself more!

 Nana bought Clara tickets... Thanks Nana!!! 

 First stop.... making a Halo... Which, was alot of convincing to get her to do this! 

 The finsished product!

 Clara did a cupcake walk and won!  I didn't get a picture of her doing the walk, because of course, I was doing it with her :-)

 What girl doesn't love a pedicure???

 Clara wasn't quite sold on drinking tea... So... we pretended....

 And you wouldn't beleive the incredible food they put out on these platters.... SO GOOD!!!!

 Cheese!!!

 Waiting in line for some makeup!!!

 Before...

 After....! YIKES!

 We got to celebrate father's day again with Papa....  And what a beautiful day outside.  So we had to go down to the beach and explore!

 Papa and Clara found alot of crabs... Which was not something she wanted to even get close to touching!  And boy did she let us know!  Looking at them was as close as she was going to go....

 Nana is so good at making sure these girls have EVERYTHING!  I think the collection at Nana's is more than at our own! She has been working at making a dress up collection for the girls and was sweet enough to take Clara the other night with her to pick out some fun things!!!  We have a very special Nana and we are SO lucky!!!

 Dad and Chad getting the food started... Fish and chips, with the halibut Chad caught last month.  SO GOOD!!!!

 Nana making sure everyone's tiara's stay on!

 Natalie had just enjoyed herself a fry... In this picture she is signing more!  Guess she liked it!  But... There's not much this kid doesn't like!

She seems to want to be held an awful lot lately... so thank you to all the inventors of baby carriers!  They are a life saver!

 The Grandkids helping Papa......

 Ohhhh and desert.... can't skip that meal...! Nana made mini reeses peanut butter cup cookies!

 yes... natalie loved it....

 And the ice cream too!

And Clara is having a moment of enjoying her cookie and the wonderful view!  Thanks Nana, they were excellent!  And when Clara got up from bed this morning she said " my tummy hurts, I think I ate to much ice cream and cookie last night at Nana's, but I won't puke this time"....
