this little girl is trouble... i love her! Clara at church last week-- she found a spot to sit under the table, and insisted on wearing Lucy's backpack around everywhere even though it almost tipped her over! I'm taking a break from documenting all of our fun adventures the last month, to blogging about this little fiesty girl! Clara is just about 15 months old, and HOLY COW this girl is a fiesty little spit-fire! I just weighed her, and she is now 24 lbs of pure chunky-ness.

This girl is pretty fearless-- this is her standing on their little airplane teeter-totter.   after dinner we headed over for the Firework Show at Davis High. We go every year and I love it. There was some definite interesting music choices this year, haha, but the fireworks were awesome! Grandma Bonnie brought like a 50 pack of glow bracelets and the kids LOVED them. Such a good idea! I loved that I could pick out my kids in the crowd too and keep a good eye on them.  I love that we get to sit with both of our fam...
