Claire & Mackenzie

For those of you that don't know Mackenzie is Claire's best friend. They have been in daycare together since they were 5 months old and are inseparable these days. CC went to Mackenzie's house for the first time a few weeks ago, they played and even had lunch at McDonalds. She has been asking to go back ever since!! ....and of course, Miss Fashion had to pick out her our shoes for her playdate!!! Ha!

Lake Time!

Miss CC wanted nothing more to get in the water on Memorial Day weekend, so that meant I had to get in the freezing water too...let's just say 3 seconds then "numb"...
She made it in.....

Then could not get out fast enough!!

Climbing back to the boat...she wanted out, out!


Not such a graceful pic of Biz, but I think Claire's expression says just how much she did not want to be in the water!

Sweet baby girl...just love this!


Napping on the lake....


Building a house on the boat....




Washing the powerwheels (yes, from the 1980s) with Mimi & Biz


Think it was a bad idea given Claire the water hose???....



She looks so big:(

Look at that face...precious!!!

Lovin playing on the playground

I spent many, many hours on this handmade playground as a little girl


Just having a good time!
