Halloween and More!

Klaira loves to color and write with pens and pencils!

Sometimes she can draw for a surprisingly long time!

Sometimes she tries to eat them, we are working on that!

She can be so goofy lately!

This is our "Fancy Nancy"! "Fancy Nancy" is an adorable book that she has! She really likes it and so we decided to just put all of the fancy things we had on her and let her just be so cute! Some people were guessing that she was a movie star or a diva, so sometimes I just said yes!

These are Jessica's three boys, Klaira's cousins. Klaira's glasses are crooked because we borrowed them from our friends and glued them together before she could wear them. And I must have glued them funny! But surprisingly she would keep them on for a really long time. It was funny and everyone was noticing that she didn't care to wear them!

Our trunk or treat! All of our friends dressed up so cute!

Grandma Barrow and Klaira at her ward trunk or treat/Halloween party, inside! It was fun!

Having Fun!

I wanted to take a picture with Klaira, and it was cute until you take the camera out. Then all she wants is the camera. So I had to tickle her to get a good smiley picture!

Klaira is getting so big! She is having so much fun at the babysitter, too! She learns new things every day, and makes us laugh all the time!

She loves to take food to the end of the hallway and eat it. She is always so silly, especially when we go to take a picture.

This is the Sunday after the swing accident, and she is all ready for church and very hard to take a picture of.

This was about a week after the black eye went away. She got hit by an old broken plastic swing that swung back right into her face. It swelled up quickly, but we were able to keep her calm and ice it for a bit.

Her first black eye. She fell on our bed into the footboard. It was very sad, but she was okay!

We went boating, and Klaira had a lot of fun in the boat, but we left the camera in our car, so this is her afterward. She is so stinkin cute!

Blaine got a chocolate silk pie for his birthday! It was so good!

These are Klaira's twin cousins, Payten and Cooper! She loves babies, so she thinks they are pretty cool!

We took Klaira's one year old pictures and she did pretty well. We had to take a lot to get those great ones, but it was fun! These are only a few!

Klaira loves dogs! This is our friends dog, and he is super nice.

Klaira's First Birthday!

Well, we had a great birthday party for Klaira! Some friends and family came and had fun with us! Sadly Klaira had had a fever all day and was not feeling well. She was almost asleep about 6:00, but didn't end up quite letting me put her down, so she stayed up (feeling miserable) for the party! As soon as she came outside and saw the kids she got some energy from somewhere and played with them! She was walking around everywhere (oh ya she is walking and has been for about a month now, it is so cute because she is pretty short). So if she looks a little sad in some of the pictures that's why. But she is better now. She is trying to get three molars in at the same time, which is a little rough!

Thanks everyone for coming and having fun with Klaira!

All of the kids were just as excited about each present (probably more) as Klaira! It was quite fun to watch them all!
She loves this book! It is big and kind of heavy, but she will carry it across the room to me!

A baby doll!

She loves this beach ball. She likes to carry it around as much as she can and then throw it.

Cool basketball hoop! Thanks Grandpa! And a new big girl car seat! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Barrow and Aunt Jessica and Uncle Nick!

The candle is lit, bt you can't really tell. I am holding it a little away from her because she was wanting to grab it as soon as she saw it! I don't have a picture of her cupcake for some reason, but it has white frosting and a pink flower on top!

We got Klaira a cute little princess keyboard that she thinks is really cool because she loves music and pianos!

Here she goes!

All messy!

The birthday girl sitting with her friends, looking very tired!

This is my best attempt at a cute butterfly cupcake cake! I think it turned out great! Thanks to my wonderful husband and mother who frosted it for me (at the last minute)!

Klaira loves to swim. She gets right in the water, cold as ever, and just splashes around. She had fun in the sprinkler too, I didn't have the camera that day. I just love her suit that I found at Target. Thanks Sue for letting us come over to play in your water!

Grandma Anderson brought bubbles for Klaira to play with and she thought they were really fun! She was waving the wand around like crazy, usually too fast!

She loves her teddy bear, and will take it around with her by the arm, it is adorable. So I am hoping to get a good picture of her carrying it! So if anyone has some good suggestions on cleaning stuffed animals I would love to hear about them!

Playing with Grandpa Anderson, and we actually got her to say "Grandpa" while they were visiting, and she still says it!

Klaira is starting to want to do everything herself, including eating. She is getting better but still needs a lot of help sometimes, but it is really cute!

We went to a Fourth of July breakfast at our ward parking lot, and they were giving horse rides. So I took Klaira and she loved it!

We are 11 months old!!! I cant believe it!

She love the park, but she loves the dirt most of all.

This is one of the many funny faces I got when trying to take her 11 month picture!

She can finally reach, barely!

She loves to play with the cars at Grandma Barrow's house.

Klaira loves her Fancy Nancy book!

She is getting so big!

She loves nectarines! She almost ate the whole thing!

This is just a random picture of us enjoying the sun. Also, she seems to not mind her hats so much, because this one doesn't even have a strap to hold it on.

Klaira likes to put things in her mouth and then go about all her other playing business. It is quite funny because some things are very large, but to her she just likes to chew!

We had to go to Montana for my Grandma Anderson's funeral. It was a very nice funeral, and we got to see a lot of family on that side of my family. Klaira got to meet some of her cousins (actually they were all my cousins kids). She had so much fun! This is a picture of Will, who was born about 4 days before her! (And I am really not sure why I look almost ill in this picture, oh well!)

She loves to swing!

Our Cute, Growing Klaira!

So here is our big catch-up blog! There really are a lot of pictures, but I tried to explain most of them. We have taken two trips to Montana and my brother got married. So a lot has been going on. Oh, and Klaira is now almost 10 months old! She is growing so fast and getting such a cute and funny personality! We love her so much!

I plan on posting more often so it doesn't take me forever.

I hope you enjoy all of the pictures!

The cherios started sticking to her feet. She thought it was pretty funny!

Klaira found that the refridgerator is really cool (in Montana), and now if she can she will go right for it whenever it is opened!

Me and my brother, Mac! He is a married man! I think his new wife, Jessie, is great and seems to like us too!

So maybe some of the pictures seem out of order, but there is a lot to post and I think everyone will just have to enjoy them however I put that on!
This is something I made! It was fun and pretty easy!

This is Kim Parker! She now lives in Las Vegas, but I grew up babysitting her kids in Drummond. She is an amazing woman and a great friend! My wonderful mother is of course on the left side, and she is my hero and inspiration! I love her so much! LOVE YOU MOM!

We went through the worst storm we had ever driven through, when we were coming home on our first trip to Montana, for spring break, at the end of March! It was so scarey. You couldn't see at all, so it was like driving blind. We could see the semi that was barely ahead of us, sometimes, and occasionally we would see a reflector on the side. And it wasn't even dark. These are pictures of what our car looked like when we finally made it home! Blaine was very calm and did a wonderful job getting us home safe!

These are at the temple! I did kind of mix up the wedding pictures with the reception in Montana, but you can tell the difference!

This is at the reception in Montana! Jessie has a neice a few days older than Klaira!

Easter was fun! Since the wedding was the day before, my parents were still there! Klaira thought the plastic eggs were cool, and she didn't even know that most children got candy inside! That will be an even bigger surprise in a couple of years!

On April 11 my little brother got married in the Idaho Falls Temple. It was a beautiful day!

This is an updated pictures of our 4 generations!

We are 9 months old now! We can't believe how big she is getting!

I tried to keep her hat on her too so she didn't get sunburned, it was pretty cute!

This is the first time Klaira actually drank from her hard-topped sippy! She was so excited!

We take a walk to the park to swing whenever we have a nice day! Trust me, she does enjoy the swing!

Yes, it's a toothpick!

My Grandma and Grandpa Anderson just loved seeing Klaira and how much she has grown!

Klaira with her Great Grandpa Anderson, in Hamilton, MT.

While in Montana we bough this adorable swimming suit!

She didn't sleep well in Montana. She always wanted to stay up with the party!

She loves to walk around on the couch. She gets up and down really fast. She really wants to walk!

Nice red eye, but when we fix that, I think this picture really turned out!

Here she is 8 months old!

I was trying to tickle her to try to show off her top teeth. When she smiles you mostly see her bottom 2 (now 3). We just keep getting more and more teeth. And she loves to use them!

She thinks the pacifiers are chew toys. Oh, well!

These are Klaira's good friends Jack and Eliza! They love her and take very good care of her when we are all hanging out! She loves kids and is dying to run around like them!

She loves to peek around things and people to see you! It is the cutest thing!

This is Klaira at 7 months old!

Christmas!

Here are some Christmas pictures. We had a lot of fun in Aberdeen with the Beck's. Klaira loves her cousins and the wrapping paper!

We made graham cracker houses and had a lot of fun!

Klaira even got a little war wound while she was enjoying all of the paper on Christmas morning!

HERE IS THE UPDATE!

So here I am posting a big bunch of pictures! I feel bad because I don't have much time to be posting, but when I do I end up looking at everyone elses blogs and then my time is spent. So here it is Klaira being all cute (she is the one you really want to see).

She is now 6 months, sitting up, eating some food (but lately hating it all), rolling over like a champ, and trying really hard to crawl. Oh and don't forget the three and a half teeth we are enjoying. They are super cute. The two on the bottom are visible in a few of the pictures! ENJOY!
