Autry riding his bike

Sunriver









We had a lot of fun in Sunriver this past week. I am pretty sure that Sunriver is my favorite place to vacation. Every time we go (we have been twice) I have so much fun. I am not sure why, but I just love it. We went with our friends the Eriksons. They have three boys similar ages to our kids. The kids played together all day long. Diane and I hung out and tried to do as little as possible. Erik and Randy went to the Deschutes Brewery, took the kids sledding, played frisbee golf (of course), went bike riding etc. The adults had a lot of fun playing games when the kids went to bed. The first morning we were there, we woke up to five inches of snow, the kids had a lot of fun playing in it.

Clarabelle "Clare bear"

Claire is as independent as they come. She still loves clothes, shoes, babies, and anything girly. She picks out her clothes and shoes every day, but almost always wants to wear a dress. She has started getting in trouble because she wants to do things her way and no body else's. She sits on the potty every day because she wants to wear undies, but she never goes. She loves to read, Jeeder and Autry are her best friends, and she copies everything that Autry does and wants to do everything he does. She carries her blanket everywhere and can often be found cuddeling Jeeder with her finger in her mouth and blanket in hand. She is starting to string words together and seems to know another word ever day.

Adelaide
Adelaide is just plain cute. She bounces in her jumper all the time and squeels and smiles whenever someone looks at her. She loves peoples and is so content. She roles over, smiles, laughes and knows her name.

The kids together

Autry's Birthday Party



Our little boy is three! We had a birthday party for him last saturday. Autry loves having his friends over so he was so excited.

Our Girly Girl




Claire loves dress up, jewelry, shoes, dolls, and stuffed animals. Here are a few pictures that capture just that.

Autry feeding his baby


Emilie had to start back at work on Saturday so Daddy and Autry were practicing giving her a bottle.

Christmas









We had a lot of fun on Christmas this year. OUr tradition each year is making gingerbread. Autry remembered it from last year and was more than excited.
Autry got a skateboard shirt and a thing to color on, and Clare got some bracelets and a puppy. They were completely content with their presents all day long.
