Squirrels Beware!!!

We got such rave reviews from our last videos that we had to post these. The girls are just so much fun. Today we had a great day as a family. Every time we look at these two, we realize that we are the luckiest parents in the world

A couple weeks ago we went out as a family on a friday night. We had a great dinner and then went over to the UVa Grounds (please do not call it campus) where we saw a bunch of squirrels. Claire had a great time chasing them around and we had a great time watching her.

Dad and Claire had a date today and boy did we have fun. Here is what we did:

1 - Stories (Mom was sleeping in)

2 - Pancakes (Mom still sleeping in - she deserved it)

3 - Chasing squirrels again on the Lawn (similar to the grounds). We had so much fun.

4 - Fall Carnival

5 - Lunch with Mom and Amelia

6 - Claire nap - Dad football

I also had some time this morning with Amelia (mom was sleeping - and she deserves it). She is growing up so big. Five months have passed quickly.

Enjoy the videos. Go Utes.

A Few Months Late

Just some pictures from out time with with the cousins. Claire sure had a great time playing with all of them. She and Amelia sure miss you guys.

(The following pictures are in a random order, but I can't move them around for some reason)




Gabe enjoyes a nice ride on the merry-go-round. Nice work Gabe.

There is obviously an intense discussion about who gets to stick their head in the lion's mouth next.

These guys sure had a great time at the zoo.


That's a half-ton of Dahles.

Claire had a great time with Kiki during the trip. Thank you for your help with Claire Kiki!!!

Kins was also very good with Amelia.

Claire loves a great breakfast.


Seth and Leeah were the only aunt and uncle to make the post. Love you guys.

This is supposed to be the second picture in the series. Claire stared down Sam for a few minutes before the pitch was low and inside. I think she got him swinging.


Alot of mind games in this battle. Claire has definitely improved her throwing. We look foward to the next battle.

Everyone loves the Mad Hadders!

Great form Sam.


Strong smile Gabe.

Claire could not get enough of the sandbox at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Hi Kins.


Sam also plays a mean sandbox.
Was this post a little weak? Sure. Was the commentary lacking? Absolutely. Am I as good at blogging as I used to be? No. Do I have another cute video of Claire chasing squirrels? Yes and you are all going to enjoy it. I'll do my better to get it out soon.
