A Walking Wonderland

Clover is a walker now. She has actually been walking for about 2 1/2 weeks (at 11 1/2 months, I am so proud) but I haven't had a chance to get a video of it so I have failed to post about it. She just started taking more steps, then she could stand up on her own without pulling up on anything and I new she was close then. She would walk a little fall down, walk a little more fall down. Then she was crawling, walking about 50/50 percent of the time. Then she woke up one day and decided she was going to walk. She is still stumbling around like a drunkin sailor but she is no longer down on all fours on the floor. Thank heaven! I hated the thought of her crawling all over the floor and ground just getting filthy and nasty. It creeped me out. So now on to the next accomplishment, talking!!

Clover's 1st Birthday!

Clover is finally 1 year old. This year has really flown by and my baby isn't a baby anymore. I guess it is true what they say, they grow up fast. We had a dinner at my aunt's house and it was a pretty good time. Clover didn't understand the concept of a birthday of coarse, but i enjoyed having a little party for her. She really wasn't too interested in opening her gifts so the other kids had to help out. She did get to eat ice cream cake for the first time, which she gobbled down in fist fulls. She got a few cute little toys and some clothes, but what we decided to do (especially now because she doesn't understand about presents and because it's never to early to do this) is to start a college fund for Clover and have relatives and me and Roger contribute to it. Hopefully by the time 18 years rolls around she will be set to head off to college and not have to worry about how to pay for it. So, now my little one is a big girl, on to the terrible two's????

First Trip to the Beach!

We had to go back to Oregon this last week for some more testing for the sheriff's department position Roger is trying to get. The weather wasn't too cooperative, but we braved the fog, wind and the cold so Clover could have her first beach experience. The sand didn't seem to faze her a bit. We didn't stay down on the beach too long because of the wind but Clover seemed to like her short experience.

Our Excursion to Pump It Up

There is a place here in Vegas called Pump It Up where you can go and have birthday parties or just come and play with the kids. It has two rooms of huge jumpy inflatable slides and things to climb on. It is really fun. So me, Katie, & Tricia decided to hall all the kids over there to goof around. All the other kids were at least 3, and Clover only being 11 months I thought she could handle it but she was really scared and held onto me for dear life. I held her and went down the slide and climbed up the mazes with her but she wasn't too sure what was going on and didn't like it too much. Well, a lesson learned I guess. She did like the little push around car. So, besides the little freak-out on Clover's part we all had lots of fun.

Hair DO or Hair DON'T!

Ok, I get bored a lot and like to change up my hair, what girl doesn't. This time I'm not sure if I went overboard or not. I got my hair done today thinking I just needed a shorter easier cut for the summer. Then my hair dresser talks me into doing an all over warm brown color. (Something about we need to do this color now so in the fall we can add low lights and high lights, don't worry in a few weeks it will fade to a light brown bla bla bla...) Well, me being the sure I'll try it kinda person I said go for it. When she finished I was like holy cow, that is freaking dark! I don't even look like me. I love the cut. It is really short for me, but I think it's cute. It's the color that is a little shocking. When I came home my dad just laughed at me and Roger said what did you do! (That's never a good sign.) So I'm not too sure about it yet. I think I like it, and it will fade so hopefully it won't be as shocking as these pictures I took in a few weeks...... Comments.... Oh, and I'm not wearing any make-up in these pics so please excuse the just woke up crusty look!

Stuck Indoors

This stupid heat is getting really old. We can't go outside until the sun starts to go down and even then its almost unbearable. Clover wants to go out and play in the sunshine so bad and I feel like I have to keep her prisoner in the house because its just too hot for a baby to be going out in 110 degree heat so we have to come up with new ideas for playtime inside. My dad bought her a toybox and this is the card board box it came in. Roger decided to turn it into a tunnel/fort. See, kids do love the box more than the toy in it! Creative fun activities are key in this horrible Vegas summer! I can't wait until it starts to cool down!!!!!
