Dogs, Bikes, Kids, etc.

Elijah uses the digital camera almost as much as I do. Every time I upload photos to the computer I have to sift through all his random photos, like this one. His doggy is the sixth member of our family...

I look at this photo and can't believe how big the kids are. Turn your head for five minutes and they'll start growing up on you...


Tell me she's not cute. Of course I have a right to brag, as her dad...


Carson is getting more comfortable with his bike. Our goal is to remove the training wheels this summer...

There's a small child in there somewhere...

And a bigger child in this one...

Clarissa Turns One

Clarissa turned 1 on February 24. We had a little party for her on her birthday, then a Care Bear party on Friday for my side of the family. Next weekend Christina's parents will be in town so we'll celebrate one more time. She'll make messes out of three cakes before we're all done.

Here she is on her actual birthday. We had the hardest time keeping that hat on her...


She got some really fun presents on Friday. Carson and Elijah were just as excited about the presents as she was, if not more so...


Here we are, ready to sing Happy Birthday and light the candle...


Again, not wanting to wear the fuzzy birthday hat...


Christina did an incredible job with the Care Bear cake...


Staying pretty clean so far...


Slowly picking up speed now...

"Daddy, is there anything on my hands?"...

"Get this stuff OUT of my nose!!!"...


Cleaned up and tired, pushing her new doll around in the stroller from Grandma Jones...
