Claire's One Year Pictures!

Ryan and I decided it was time to get a bigger vehicle. We had been looking for about a month. Over Easter weekend, we bought a van. We didn't think we could fit two kids and two dogs in the Vibe, and it wouldn't pull our camper. So, now we have plenty of room and can take just one vehicle camping when we go. We bought a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country. It is really nice. Hopefully it is a good vehicle for us. Maybe I will take some pics and post them soon.

Anyway, yesterday, I took Claire to get her one year pictures taken. She was pretty cooperative for the first few shots, but then she decided she would rather go exploring than sit still to get her picture taken. I think they turned out well regardless.

I'm one... see!

Say Cheese!!

I'm not gonna stand here long!

Here I go!

Big Girl

Geez people, how many pictures are you gonna take?

Lookin' Cute

This is my personal favorite!!

Mmm, birthday cake sounds good.

So pretty!

You can't make me smile!

Ryan said people were going to think we put make-up on her, but I swear we didn't. Her cheeks matched her salmon colored shirt! Maybe because she had just woken up from a nap.

By the way, Claire has finally cut her first tooth and I think she is working on her second. You can't really see the first yet, but it has broken the gumline. So, she will have teeth for her first birthday!!

I thought this was too cute, so I had to post it! Enjoy!

Boogie Time!!

Check out these moves!

First Attempt at Videos

Here is my first attempt to upload some video. Claire wants to be just like her Aunt Erica!!

Hope this video didn't gross you out too much! We thought it was pretty funny! Erica used to eat our dog Dusty's dog food when she was a baby. Mom said she would stuff so much in her mouth that she looked like a chipmunk! Sorry Erica!

I baby sat for my friend DJ last night, while they took their older son to see Horton Hears a Who. Claire and Truman had so much fun together!! Thought these pics were too cute of Claire in the bathtub. Enjoy!

Here is what happens when Claire gets to feed herself!! We were having meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn for dinner. YUM!!

Things are going well in the Grandstaff household. We are all getting over colds, but we are feeling much better. We are definitely ready for spring! We are tired of being cooped up in the house. On Thursday, when it was halfway decent outside, we decided to take a walk over to the park. Claire really enjoyed it and so did Ryan and I. It was nice to get out and take in some fresh air! We are also in the process of getting ready for Claire's 1st birthday party! I can't believe she is almost a year old already. How time flies!

This coming Friday, Good Friday, is the beginning of spring break for me. I am really looking forward to it. I hope the weather is nice so I can get outside and do some gardening. Have a Happy Easter everyone!!
