Since my last post...

Well I've been keeping track of (some) things I wanted to make sure to put in BLOG post. Here's what was written in my phone: Hopefully I'll remember what they mean...


Bleepbleep = open it This is what Claire says when she wants you to open something, it sounds like "Bleep, Bleep, Bleep, Bleep" Over and over til its done. Louder and louder til you do it.
Dana = That's what Cliare calls Nicholas, no one is sure why..if you say, "Say Nicholas, she says "Dana", it's pronounced, "Dan-a" Like the boys name Dan and then a short A sound.

Pen behind ear= bumpa do that, Nick put a pen behind his ear when he was about 3 years old and we said, what are you doing and he said, "Bumpa do that mommy, people do that." Who knew!!?

Nick reading stuff: Claire can't, nick tummy hurts
Nick will point to writting on a package and tell you what it says, like "this is for Nicholas and not for Claire", or "Nick can't eat this, his tummy hurts." He's usually pointing to the ingredient list.

Claire=social butterfly, Enough said. :O) She says Hi to EVERYONE!! She's very much likes attention and likes people to watch her do stuff. When we had her dedicated at church she seemed shy at first but when we got on stage she was doing huge waves to the audience and then the Pastor help her and she was hugging him and patting his face!

Not working anymore need batteries: This is what Nick says about everything, even his dead fish. :O( He was so precious when they died, first he wanted to give him batteries then he kept saying, "awww poor guy, poor guy." He was sooo sympathetic for them.

Claire hug kiss campbell: My friend from work Korby's daughter's name is Campbell and Claire loves her. She will hug and hug and hug her and give lots of kisses too! She gets so excited when she sees a friend!

No touch a baby. Uh, Claire got really sick with a Kidney infection and we didn't know what was wrong but we knew she was sick, she had a fever and felt awful. Nick came over and was trying to play with her and she said, "NO touch baby, and then motioned like she was going to hit him and said, Uh" Very unlike her and although we were stressed at the moment it was pretty funny.

Pick shoes hat, Claire loves to pick out her own shoes, and she loves to wear hats. At just over 1 year old she would pick out which shoes she wanted to wear and she'd say, "Ha Ha" for Hat. She already way more into fashion then Nick! :O)


It's currently summer, and off with the kiddos! We are doing lots of playdates, swimming, and beach (mostly the bay) days. Nick and Claire play and fight together but they miss each other if the other isn't around. Nick did a few days at a few different VBSs one up in Alpine and one at his cousin Jamie's church. Nick loves his cousins! His favs are Alex and Jamie, but he loves them all! Cliare's potty training, but most days she thinks it's more fun to pee on the floor or outside! Nick will hopefully start preschool again in the fall! Daddy is working hard at USD as a computer programmer and I just left my job teaching at the Elementary Level to teach at Cathedral Catholic High School to teach sign language!
