Random Pictures from November 2014




Here are our random pictures from November 2014. A lot of them are of Claire!




Claire pondering her own cuteness.




Bright eyes!




Nakey baby smiles.




Sydney reading the Lego magazine to Claire.




Ruth was trying to take her sweater off and it got stuck. I offered to help her a number of times, but Miss Independent wasn't having it even though she was upset by it. Eventually she got it off!




Me and my happy baby girl.




Sweet girl.




Wes and Sydney decided to make dinner this night. They made toast and ham with cheese sandwiches. They also provided oranges and an apple. They got themselves adult plates and us kid plates. Brian and I did our best to bounce on and off our chairs like the kids do during dinner. They make it look so easy, but it's not! Nice to have happy kids for dinner for a change!




I seriously have a bi-polar baby. She'll be happy, smiling, and cooing and 2 minutes later she gets ticked. Her face gets SUPER red and she cries really loudly. Most of the time I just laugh at how mad she is! I'm curious to see how little personality trait translates as she gets older…




Wes and Sydney love their baby sister.




Wes wanted his own picture with Claire.




Of course Sydney had to have one as well!




Ruth is such a good helper. One morning I was getting ready in the bathroom and she was in the kitchen and she took the monitor off the counter and brought it to me saying, "Claire sad," because she could hear Claire crying in the monitor.




Claire was very happy to be testing out the Bumbo for the first time! :)




You can tell Claire loves her daddy.




It had been many moons since I had taken out this train track. It took me much longer to put it together than I anticipated. Apparently putting together a toy train track is not quite the same as riding a bike.




We hit a milestone in November…three crying girls all at once! Really looking forward to the teen years… :/




Sisters watching a show. Can you tell Ruth was tired?




Baby sister fell asleep watching the BYU game. I can relate. I don't find football all that interesting either.




Claire got all bundled for the bus pick up in the freezing cold weather.




Ruth always has to carry a few things with her on the walk to get the kids from the bus.





An icicle tree we saw on our walk.




For some reason, I think it's really adorable to see these snowsuits hanging on our wall when I pull in the garage.




I took this picture to inspire myself to keep my kitchen clean since I really love it when it looks like this. Unfortunately it only looks this spotless about once a month.




Brian doing the sitting version of the "nee-nee" game with Claire.





Claire started finding her fingers consistently.




A giant icicle outside of one of our windows.




Sydney wanted me to take a picture of her in this tree.




On the walk home from the bus, Ruth does her best to keep up with the big kids.




What a perfect picture of my sweet Claire! She's so stinkin' cute!
