Race Car from Grampie

Monday, August 31, 2015
Mondays are pretty much no fun...ever. But when you find a special delivery on your doorstep after a long day at work, things change. 

"Dear Claire, I am sending you more toys for you to play with. It is fun for you and fun for me to think of you and of you laughing and just having fun! Have your mother send me a picture of you! Lots of Love from your Great Grampie Richard Currie xxxxx!






I opened the package after little Missy went to bed, but I can't wait to see her reaction tomorrow-- she LOVES cars! What makes the car even more perfect is that it's not too girly, but the driver is clearly a fashionable lady with a green scarf, red lipstick, and driving goggles.

Thank you so much Grampie! What a thoughtful gift and yes, pictures to come!

On another note, I think the spinning tops are hypnotizing Roma...

Grosse Savanne Trip

Sunday, August 30, 2015
I mentioned our fishing trip out of Grosse Savanne last week, but I have some more pictures to share with you!

A evening storm was rolling in, right before dinner. It was neat to see the wall of clouds march across the sky and swallow the sunset. 

Here's our "Lodge". As you can see, not really roughing it, my kind of place!

Robby didn't have any success in the ponds.

Hanging out before dinner.

No trip to Louisiana is complete without a crocodile sighting.


Ross and I had a great time- we'd go back anytime! Well anytime the Redfish are running so heavy that we limit out in a half hour...  :)

Denver Friends

Wednesday, August 26, 2015
Claire enjoyed playtime with her Denver friends- they had so many new toys!!

First encounter with a slinky



Dinosaurs are fun


The Honas's live about 15 minutes from Red Rocks Amphitheater, which I knew pretty much nothing about before. Now I know that a lot of famous people have had concerts there and that in the mornings the amphitheater is a Cross Fit mecca. There were workout fiends galore doing some extreme workout maneuvers....

Jolin and I were 2 of them. Well minus the backwards handstands :)

Honas Visit

Tuesday, August 25, 2015
Jolin is one of my very dearest friends, so it's natural we have some things in common. I mean right? :) I was debating if I could actually include "taking pictures together" as a shared hobby, but after some thought I decided that yes, for us, it definitely counts as a hobby. Other shared interests include working out, drinking coffee, inappropriate stories, Costco, hiking, fishing, and generally being fun. That's a pretty good little list I'd say!

you know the kinda friend that you can say anything to??  if not, get one!


Hiking in Denver! Near Red Rocks Amphitheater 



At one point, little missy went to sleep.






I am missing Denver weather right about now!

Golden Colorado Pics

Monday, August 24, 2015
I'm finally get around to posting pictures from our trip to Denver earlier this month, yay!

We took a short (20 min) drive to Golden Colorado to walk around and spend the day outside. Ross led us to some delicious breweries too :)

See the Coors plant? The wait for the tourline was up to 2+ hours, so we skipped it






We had some beautiful (relatively cool) weather and we were able to enjoy the great outdoors.

Outtakes with Kiddos

Sunday, August 23, 2015
We went to Denver a couple weeks ago to visit the Honas family. We had such a great trip and we were able to escape the Houston heat and humidity for a few days.

The kids had fun playing together. However, sometimes kiddos don't want to cooperate, it just happens!

Especially during picture time :)









We got the winner shot!

Roma's 8th birthday!

Wednesday, August 19, 2015
Number 8 is a very big number when it's how many years old for a puppy girl. Roma had a juicy steak for her special birthday meal.

If you need to put some major steps on your Fitbit, consider clipping it on a toddler! Back and forth and all around!







Whew, what a workout.
