Random Pictures

We have had a busy month and posting has gotten away from me! Here are just a few pics of Claire throughout the month. Oh yes, and Claire has started walking! She is getting more brave each day! She likes to walk to someone rather than just completely on her own. She will get there soon, though. She is growing so fast!!!

Week at the lake

We were able to spend a week at Lake Tyler with Cookie, Papa, Aunt Jenny, and cousins Jake and Josh in July. Claire loved the water and playing with the boys. Claire got to tube with Daddy, loved riding in the boat and loved swimming even more! Here are just a few pictures of our fun times.

4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July. We went to Floydada to visit Bill and Mary and cooked out. Claire got to see her first cow up close and her first donkey, too. Claire even got to feed a carrot to a donkey with Daddy!

We then had a cookout with the Lorton's, the Jenkins and Cookie and Papa. Claire got to play with Kole, Kade and Kennedy. At first, Claire was quite a fan of fireworks but as the fireworks continued, she was not sure what to think of the popping. Claire got to hold a sparkler with Daddy. What a fun day!

Summer Fun

Claire had a fun day swimming and playing with her friends Kole, Kade and Kennedy. The kids swam, ate lunch and then played inside. They all had fun despite the fact that the water was a little cool. What a great way to enjoy the summer. Thanks Kole, Kade and Kennedy for coming to play!
