Clara is about to finish up her t-ball season undefeated. Go Thundercats! She had field day and a beach theme party at school. She did so well her first year at school and is excited for 1st grade. First, she will enjoy summer. She lost her front tooth at school on the last day, but from the video you can see that Jonas tried to help her pull it out the night before. I am working on an update of Adam as well. He is growing fast as you can see from his picture at Clara's game.

Baseball & A Crawfish Boil

My brother Jay came up a few weeks ago and we had a Cajun Crawfish boil in our backyard. I am sorry I didn't get pictures earlier showing the kids playing with the live crawfish. It was opening day for little league, so we were eating in between the opening ceremony and Jonas' first game. We have had a fun month at the ball park. Jonas is playing baseball and Clara t-ball. We have been outside enjoying the spring weather and making friends.

Basketball and Cheering

This year Jonas played on basketball league called Upwards through a local church. He played last year and I really liked the program. They teach the kids and don't keep score until the 3rd grade. Clara can't play ball until 1st grade, but we let her join the cheer squad. Where else do they encourage cheerleaders to wear turtlenecks and tights? They teach the kids to memorize a scripture each week, practice good sportsmanship, and give a special star to the player who has the most Christlike behavior during the game.

Clara's cousin slumber party

Last month Clara had her slumber party at Aunt Amy's house with Madi and Madison. We joined them in the morning for the 4th of July parade.

Clara's photography

Clara loves to take photos. Here are a few samples. She does get some interesting shots sometimes. She arranged her stuffed animals one afternoon in various poses alone and in a group shot. The second is her self-photo which I love.

Clara's date

Clara got this beautiful formal dress from her best friend Aubreielle's grandmother who has a children's choir. She loves to dress up, so Mike asked her out on a date. They went out for Italian food and stopped by Great-Grandma Lois' house to say hello.
