Whew - it has been a while since I posted and lots has happened!

| Clara hard at work. |
Clara is happiest when she can help you do something...anything! She was 'helping' Dad saw off the bolts on the swing set in the below pic. She was helping me make supper tonight and we were about to put the rice in the pan when she spilled a bit. She then cupped her hand over her mouth in shock of what had happened. Ha - it was so cute.
As helpful as she is, she is at least as feisty! She is constantly scrounging for food: before and after meals and if we're home all day, all morning long, too. I have no idea how they keep her fed at daycare honestly. She loves to find the snack cupboard and get into the chips. It was pretty obvious who the culprit of this mess below was with her blankie giving her away.
Last weekend it was time again for the Butterfly Ball. Brynn got her hair done and went out to Village Inn on her date with Dad. She met up with her friend Haylie at the dance and they had a fantastic time.
This year we again stopped at Tutti Frutti which happens to be just a few stores down from the hair salon. Brynn likes to fill her cup up to high Heaven and then realize she took too much and not finish it all. :-) Luckily this day was fill up your cup for $5.00!
They so kindly obliged for photos again...such a handsome couple.

Clara has been super into bubbles lately. Although, sadly, she cannot go through a time of blowing bubbles without spilling the whole darn bottle. I don't know what it is about little kids and blowing bubbles, but to me it is just about the cutest thing. I think it's their chubby cheeks.
On Monday we took Daddy out to TX Roadhouse to celebrate his birthday. Brynn made him an enormous card and the girls did some decorating around the house. Happy birthday, Daddy!
The night of Dana's birthday at 2:00 AM (which would actually be the 19th then), I got a call that my sister was going in to have her baby via c-section. She was actually scheduled to have him on May 11 which is my Dad's 60th birthday. However, due to a long trial that Tessa was having with the flu, they ended up taking him early. So, we have a new, healthy nephew named Oliver Cole. He is so cute! The below picture is Clara napping on me on Tuesday afternoon as it seemed that day her cold got the better of her. On Wednesday I was home with both girls as Brynn seemed to have come down with some stomach bug. So, with the illnesses going through our house (I had been battling a sore throat/cold myself, too), I didn't want to chance bringing any of our germs and infecting Oliver...or my sister, so I have been itching to meet the little guy in person! I am hopeful to maybe take a couple of days off work next week and go visit. I didn't post any pics of him yet, as my sister hasn't had the chance to do her blog update, so I didn't want to preemptively post any pics of him. I'm sure I'll have lots when I get to meet him!
I'm happy to report everyone is on the mend now! This was from Wednesday afternoon when Brynn was home sick...she appeared to have a full recovery by 2:45 PM! Yay. Coincidentally, school lets out at 2:42. I'm not implying anything; just simply stating the facts. :-)
