My lady bugs first pool party...

8.13.11

Lady bug, 

today we went over to gma n gpa clausens and had a pool party with our cousins!

mommy took a break from the party to feed you but your cousins love you so much that they wanted to follow. 

while mommy was feeding you your cousin brynn was really curious why you were under a blanket. 

here's how the conversation went:

Brynn- " what are you doing under there?"

mommy- " feeding the baby"

brynn- "with what?"

mommy- "with milk from her mommy"

Brynn- " milk from you?"

mommy- "yup"

brynn- "thats weird"

mommy- "thats how your mommy fed you"

brynn- " well why dont you go to the fridg-A-Lator and get her some milk out of there?!"

after the pool party we went home and watched one of our favorite shows

 "So you think you can dance" 

 you danced with daddy during the show

Home sweet home

lady bug,

today 8.8.11 we left the hospital. it was a pretty big day so aunt amy came and took some cute pictures of you in your first outfit. you were so tiny it looked ginormous on you, but so cute!

the nurses got us all checked out, took off your baby lo-jack and wheeled us out to the from where we put you into your car seat for the firs time. you looked so small in the seat and your poor little head looked so uncomfortable :(

when we got home there was balloons and banners that aunt amy and uncle tyler put up for you and everyone at censource had signed it and wrote you notes. plus gma gpa clausen were there with uncle dave and aunt stephie who were visiting from utah. they were so nice... they vacuumed the house and went to the grocery store for us!

<3
