Little Miss Claire...

Claire is wearing a very special dress that belongs to her cousin Avery. Claire is growing so fast. It completely amazes Mike and I that she is developing so fast.

(Thanks Auntie for sharing it)

Taylor is giving baby "sissy" a little love...

Sleeping with his boots on....

Conner has a new habit of putting on his boots while he plays and in the middle of the night. I went to check on him this morning and I found him asleep with his fireman rain boots on. Too too cute!!!

A day at the fair....

We took a fun trip to The Orange County Fair on Friday. Conner had a blast and Claire slept. The heat with difficult to deal with but we made it. Keanne and Taylor joined us in our day of fun.

Taylor loves to give Conner love.

The kids were able to see the cows, chicks and new born baby pigs. Conner attempted to climb into the stall with the pig and her babies.

On our way out we stumbled across a "QUAD" give away. This made Conner's day. He LOVES mommies quad and can't wait to get his own.

While at the fair we bought Conner his very first pair of Rainbow flip flops.

(Just like daddy)

Taylor was exhausted. It's the first time she has fallen asleep in her stroller.

Conner wasn't about to miss out on anything.

Our first trip to Bass Pro......

Today we took our first trip to Bass Pro Shop. It's the first store of it's kind in Southern California. All I can say is "Holly Cow".... We walked in and Conner's eyes lit up (so did Mike's - Only he has been there before)... All the fish tanks and wildlife, I am not sure Conner new what to do with himself. We did find a race car that Conner made himself very comfortable in.

We also found a horse to ride on but it was already broken. Conner did not care though, he still got on and rode away.

Our camera memory card was full so we were unable to take more pictures. I was really bummed that we were unable to get a photo of all of us together as a family. Claire and I were not as thrilled about being at a "manly" store but we hung in there and did just fine.

This weekend Claire started to roll all over the house. She sees what she wants and she goes for it. It's so amazing. Yesterday she started belly laughing. It's so darn cute!

All smiles......

Claire is almost 5 1/2 months old and changing every single day. She has discovered that she has a very LOUD voice and that if she smiles she gets what she wants. I guess mommy and daddy are suckers!

Claire is now eating in her high chair and she looks like such a big girl... I got her on the scale a few days ago and she was right around 19 pounds. Wow! I feel like we are going through clothes like crazy right now. She is eating cereal, carrots, squash (yuck), sweet potatoes and peas.

As you can see she loves to play in her high chair...

Showing off her smile....

Conner had a slumber party with his favorite cousin Emma... He had such a good time. He absolutely adores her. Emma is so good with both kids. We love having her around.

Conner getting sleepy.... (finally)

Over all things here in the Moffitt house are going well. I think we are still settling in from our long time away. I feel like I go go go and hardly have two minutes to rest... But I guess that is life with two busy kids and a dog. Mike is working a lot and continues to complete projects around our house. We just acquired a new water softener so that will be the next project... It's never ending. I am still finalizing Claire's room - I promise to post pictures of the princesses room once I am done...Believe it or not I am actually working on Claire's birth announcements. I'd love to get them out before she starts driving... hee hee!

Love to you all!

Our 4th of July river trip......

We just returned home from a wonderful family river trip. We spent 8 days out at our river house. It was very relaxing and well needed.

We spend 4th of July at Papa and Grandma (Irma) Petrotta's house. Mom made a great meal & we were able to watch the fire works....

On the 5th we headed out for our vacation. When we arrived at the river house it was 122 degrees. I have to say the air conditioning felt very good. Conner of course wanted to play in the pool, drive the golf cart & go on quad rides. He loves his time out at the river house.

Both kids changed so much while we were away. Conner is talking so much, sentence after sentence ~ I honestly think I need some more energy to keep up with him. Conner is saying his first and last name, his age, and the month that he was born. He has also started to say his ABC's as well as count to 10. Claire on the other hand is such a "girl"... She is just as busy as Conner but in a different way. Claire is eating carrots, squash and sweet potatoes now. All she wants to do is smile. Claire's smiles light up the room. I love it!

Conner and daddy went fishing and caught a big fish... Something like - 2 pounds. I don't know exactly - I was just there to snap the photo....

Claire had her first swim in the river... As you can see she was very excited!

Mommy took a swim with the kids....

Conner did great swimming in the water and playing in the sand....

Conner and his daddy....

On Saturday July 7th our community has a huge 4th of July BBQ - We had a blast!

On July 8th Claire turned 5 months old....

She's got daddy wrapped around her little finger.... ya think?

Gotta Love the Carrots

Claire is now eating carrot's and a lot of them... She loves to eat!

And she loves making a mess.

Diamonds Anyone?

Yesterday Mike & I took Claire to get her ears pierced... She did great believe it or not.

They were able to do both ears at the same time, Claire cried for about 3o seconds and then she was a happy girl.

Before.....

Right after ....

30 seconds later....

Proud to be showing off her new diamonds...

Stop over at the desert......

On our way home from the river we stopped and had lunch with Grammy and Papa at their desert house. Conner was able to swim - he had so much fun. So did mommy and daddy.

Finally a family photo......

Claire is eating cereal now.... She loves it!

Isn't her face so sweet?

Moffitt Family River Trip

Here are a few pictures of the kiddo's out at the river this last weekend...

Conner played in the pool and Claire played in her saucer most of the weekend.

The temp was about 113 through out the week - ouch!

Conner, daddy and mommy are all fighting off bad colds so we took it easy & did not go boating....

Watch me splash!!!!

Playing with my daddy....

Claire loves to smile....
