Splash pad fun!

Today we got to spend some time with a great friend of mine. She invited us to her

neighborhood pool and splash pad. Claire had a blast playing and she would have

loved to stay many more hours I am sure! Warms my heart to see her so happy!

We have been keeping very busy!

We always love our visits with Me-Maw and Paw-Paw!

We are so blessed to have them in our lives!

 This is a picture of "Charlie", our puppy....

 You never know what you will find when you come

to the Naustdal house!

 Claire loves to paint and on hot days this is a great activity.

 She is painting a butterfly piggy bank she got at a birthday party.

 Ta-dah...the finished project!

 We had family day yesterday and spent some time in our fort

we made in the living room. We got to eat lunch in it, take a

one minute nap in it, and even play some board games in it.

Fun to watch Claire's imagination go!

Swimming fun with Daddy!

Claire loves it when Daddy throws her into the pool! She learned how to

do crazy poses from her cousins Owen and Ellie!

 Heading into the water on Daddy's shoulders.

 Going....

 going....

 Daddy's gone!

 My amazing family, being silly as always!

Feeling so blessed!

Very busy first day home!

 Since I got back from MN so late last night, I didn't get to see how

beautiful our crape myrtle looked.

 Claire has kept me busy all day. We started the day by playing school

with her stuffed animals. At school we did the calendar, took turns working

on exercises to strengthen our hand muscles, and then took naps before going

outside to play.

 Claire had her first real trip to the dentist today, where they actually cleaned

her teeth. She did such a good job and did everything her hygienist asked of her.

Proud Mommy today...no cavities or issues of any sort and we even found out

one of her bottom teeth is starting to wiggle!

 Then Claire had some of her friends over to eat and swim. We had a blast with

Riley and Hayden! So fun to share the summer with friends!
