One More..

Can't Believe It!

We cannot believe she turned one yesterday. It seems this year has flown by...and then again, it seemed to pass by so slowly. Time is a weird thing. Claire had a bear cake, and she devoured her portion quite quickly.


The girls gave Claire some instruments. They all had a great time using them.

And let's not forget that Libbie has started basketball again. She's scored twice in both of her last games. Here is a tiny bit of proof caught on camera.

Cute, Cute Cousins

Through the unfortunate and unexpected passing of my Grandpa Oyler, Jake and his family made a trip home. Although the circumstances of their visit wasn't desireable, we were able to enjoy seeing one another for a few days. Here are some of the high points. And can I just say that we have some pretty cute gals in this family.

Grandma and Grandpa delighting in all their feminine off-spring.



Grandpa set up a tea party for the girls that got a little out of hand...notice the powdered sugar all over their faces, instead of all over their donuts.

Nothing beats a rousing game of Elefun at Grandma's house.

Grandpa even took the girls outside to delight in all the snow. Brrrrr. What a trooper their Grandpa is.


Much to Grandma's dismay, Grandpa gave the girls permission to jump on their water bed. They had some fun I think. Sorry Mom.


I found Mallory and Molly trying to squeeze themselves into this little cubby in the headboard. So cute. Sorry again Mom.
