You catch up with friends, play, eat fabulous food and watch a great fireworks show put on by my pyromaniac husband. This year since the 4th was on a Wednesday, everyone opted for the Saturday after. It worked out great and they even got a super deal on big fireworks (which I failed to get a picture of this year. dang.) <br />
<br />
Here are a few pic's of the day:<br />

Thankfully, Claire is an excellent napper. She tells you when she wants to lay down by going in her room to find ducky and paci. I will say, "Are you ready to go night night?" and she will sign "More." I lay her down and then she goes right to sleep. Seriously. It's that simple. It's the same at bedtime too. The best kid ever, I know. How blessed. Today's nap is going on 2 1/2 hours as we speak.<br />

<br />
I would love to have a garden of my own, except my laziness and my one year old get in the way of that dream. So I tend to rely on the hard work of my generous friends and family. <br />

<br />
The perfect way to start the day. I attempt this during the school year and I usually have a few days a week where this actually happens, but majority of the time, I am rushing to get ready, catching up on news or trash tv from the night before (please don't judge). <br />
<br />
I have found that when I do make spending time with our Heavenly Father a priority first thing, my day just ends up better. *I am better.* It is worth getting up early for. My prayer is that I can continue this even after the lazy days of summer have ended. Amen.<br />

Yes, I'm just now noticing that there seems to be a reoccurring pattern that Trey is always having fun with the cute water baby and I'm always taking pictures. Most mothers would agree, I think, that in bathing suit situations this is all for the best. < Insert cute, winking smiley></div>

We usually go 3-4 days a week. I run a few miles and mom walks and pushes Claire in the stroller. That is no easy task... pushing 50 pds. up those steep hills. We have nicknames- I am "Little Bull" and Lib is "Big Bull" and I do believe Claire is "Tiny Bull". She is proving that she can live up to the long line of hard-working women. We all prefer hard, manual labor and a challenge. We like to sweat it out.<br />

I usually get to walk the last lap with them and that's when mom and I catch up on all the daily non-sense of our lives. "What color are you painting the door?", "What are you cooking for dinner?", "Did you hear about...?" or "I'm thinking about rearranging..." That's my favorite part-the last lap. I pray everyday that Claire and I will have the kind of relationship that I have with mom. We laugh, we love, we help and we're brutally honest.

I love any and all things patriotic, but especially the American Flag. I love to see the flags hanging from street lights as I drive home. I love to pull in my driveway and see our flag swaying in the breeze. I love to ride down the river and see flags hanging from docks or see a HUGE flag flying over a business, like the one at Dairy Queen. It never ceases to make me smile. </div>

Yesterday, I made my first homemade Key Lime Pie. It is Trey's favorite and I wanted him to have something special to snack on during this hard, hot week before the 4th of July. I'm really not a fan of key lime, but he said it was good. Who knows... we will see if he continues to eat it or if it sits in a fridge until it's runny.<br />

Dauphin Island was a cool, retro type little town. It was VERY "uncommercialized" which we loved. There were less than a handful of places to eat, none of which were fancy (more like bar/grill). At the end of a long day on the beach, we would take showers and put on pajamas, play on the deck and cook dinner. What a treat it was to not have to get ready, dry hair and put on a bra to go out to dinner. </div>

We had fantastic weather, minus the last day of the trip. One morning, a storm front moved in and out quickly and with it we got to see a water spout/tornado. None of us had ever seen either one so it was pretty cool.</div>

We stayed in town Friday and Saturday and then went to the river on Sunday and Monday. <br />
<br />
Claire experienced getting in the river for the first time and she loved it! I really think she will love the ocean next week... we shall see.<br />

Here are a few photos off my phone from the weekend.<br />

Last year I was a brand new mommy and I was tired and plump and Claire was just a little over a month old. This year, we were more rested and C was a busy girl, putting on a show for all to see. My mom calls her a "party girl." She loves to entertain a crowd and of course, all we do is stare at her, laugh and clap. <br />
<br />
Summary of our day:<br />
-Picked C up from Lib's and T's that morning<br />
-Church<br />
-Lunch at Caca's<br />
-We all 3 napped- rare<br />
-Visited Nonnie and Grandaddy<br />

It was a fun, relaxing, family filled day... just the way I like it.<br />
<br />
Claire, I am beyond blessed to be your momma. From the second I saw you, I loved you deeper than I could have ever imagined and that love keeps growing and growing. You are so smart, strong, sassy, and loving. Your cuddles are the sweetest and your laugh brings me more joy than I have ever known. My prayer is that you will always be healthy, happy and carefree. I pray that with the Lord's guidance I can be the best mommy, role model and friend for you just as my momma is for me. I love you sweet girl! Thank you for changing my life!<br />
<br />
<em>Sidenote- Claire has gotten 3 top teeth in the last week and a half and boy has she been a trooper! 9 total now. We worry about her pain tolerance a little... she rarely cries. She has scrapes, bruises and bumps all over and we have no clue how they got there. Mom read an article that said red heads have a higher pain tolerance than others. Interesting. I would say it to be true as of now. She is one tough cookie.</em>Little Blue Househttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11914025402362134185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573161986565061171.post-32919705460344793992012-05-04T05:33:00.000-05:002012-05-04T05:33:01.016-05:00One Year Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last Saturday Claire had a fun photo session with my friend, Suzanne Enochs at Environmental Portraits. She did an AMAZING job at capturing Claire and her fun personality. I honestly don't know how I'll ever decide between the over 200 pictures. </div>

Half her pictures she is naked in because of her drooling issue. Her clothes would be soaking wet within minutes of having them on. We like to call her Hooch- you know from the movie, "Turner and Hooch." She seems to always have a shoe string of drool hanging out of her mouth. For the love of bibs.</div>

Is this baby book not gorgeous? I love it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please take note, it has not been opened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, I realize my child is 1 and I am a year + behind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To an outsider, I look very organized and all together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a sham. I am not. I go to bed waaaay to early to get stuff like this done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When else do you have time to do such sweet, precious, important things? After baby's bedtime, of course. Well, the problem is, her bed time is my bed time. Dilemma.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I have an alternative baby book thanks to my sweet mom. My mom keeps a daily journal of all she and Claire's activities of the day- what she ate, who they visited, when she slept and even the kind of "stinky" she had. We also write down milestones in this book, such as when she sat up, got a tooth, crawled, walked, etc...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love that it is in my mom's scribble writing. What a sweet gift she has given me... a baby book with more personal details than I could have ever written down. Thank you Lib!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And thank you Jenn Jenn for the beautiful baby book that I WILL USE with my next child. As we like to say around here, "Come hell or high water" it will be done ;)</div>

And I'm pretty sure this is in attempt to procrastinate getting ready for work. <br />
<br />
Any-hoo, I haven't posted in almost a year and how a year changes everything. Claire is now 1 and a busy little toddler is she. She began walking at 9 1/2 months and hasn't slowed down. She rarely walks anymore... she runs! She is loads of fun! She is the cutest, happiest little red head I know with the most hilarious personality! She laughs at everything, even falling down is funny to her. She has learned to roll her eyes (I think this is an inherited trait. Her cousin Hayden does the EXACT same thing.). She's an avid reader, is climbing like a monkey, loves to destroy my closet and her favorite foods are cheese and green beans. My mom, Lib, keeps her everyday and for that, I am indebted to her and beyond blessed. So much has happened in this past year, it would be impossible to post. <br />
<br />
Claire's stats: 20.5 pds, 30 in tall; 6 teeth that she loves to brush (maybe more...we are all scared to check...she's been known to bring blood); walking/running; eats like a horse, as of lately.<br />
<br />
Also, my bestest friend, Jennifer, just had her first baby on Monday. She is a precious, sweet baby girl that looks just like her daddy. Marley Belle, I can't wait until you and Claire can play and be best friends too!<br />
<br />
Here are just a few pictures of the last year:<br />

Claire was Christened and became a member of The First United Methodist Church. (She was an angel the whole time... never made a peep.) She is now the youngest member and my grandmother, Betty Hall (Caca) and great uncle, Buster are the longest standing members of the church. How cool is that? Also, the gown she wore is over 60 years old. Aunt Suzanne, Mom, cousin John, cousin David, Kurt and I and now Claire have all worn the gown. Brother Larry did a wonderful job with the service. He even wrote her a love letter to be opened on her 12th birthday and before she goes through Confirmation. I can't wait to read it in 12 years! It was a beautiful day shared with family and friends. Claire is a blessed, loved little girl!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Because of this, Claire and I spent most of the month of April at mom and dad's house close to the basement. One particular storm (the worst one) Claire and I rode it out in my car in the carport and I watched these trees fall into the backyard before I decided to take retreat inside the garage. If it had fallen about 15 yards to the left it would have landed on the garage where Claire and I were taking refuge. Eeek!<br />

She was born on Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 2:11p.m. She weighed 7 pds 11 oz and was 20 in long. It was a very long, hard labor but was absolutely worth every second once that little angel was born!<br />

I'm thinking today would be a great day to have a baby... but I've been thinking that everyday for over a week now. However, the Carter's are Irish and my favorite color is green... so maybe we'll get lucky. All the grandparents are banking on the full moon this weekend. I guess we shall see. I am officially 5 days from my due date and I am feeling it! Baby C is a big girl... weighing approximately 8 pds or more at this point. We are so ready to meet this sweet, chunky monkey!<br />
<br />
I am on Spring Break (praise the Lord... not sure how good I would be at entertaining 20- 4 and 5 year olds) and the weather is GORGEOUS! Today the high is 75 degrees... doesn't get much better. I have already walked for a good while and now I think I'm going to grab my book and head out to my adirondack chair and relax.<br />

I do know when we figure it out, it will be perfect and made for you. Once again, I am going to try to do better with my blog, because I want it to be a keepsake for you and I... one that cannot be lost, burned or taken away. It will be forever in internet land and we can read it now until the end of time (I think). <br />
<br />
Like I said, it is 4 weeks until your due date and your daddy and I are so excited and anxious in waiting for your arrival we can hardly stand it! Your room is ready, you have more clothes and necessities than we know what to do with, and you are one busy girl in my belly. And what has made us even more excited to meet you is that we were able to see you through an ultrasound that was pretty cool. You weren't bothered a bit throughout it, sleeping the whole time. You have the sweetest, prettiest face your daddy and I have ever seen! We are so deeply in love with you already!<br />
<br />

Seriously. I am still amazed how paint can transform a room. My <a href="http://www.lizbethstationery.com/">mother</a>, mother-in-law and I painted every square inch of the Little Blue House (walls, ceiling, trim, doors, etc...), as well as strip down layers and layers of wall paper. I love old houses... the stories that you uncover while renovating... wow. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I have been chomping at the bit to paint Lil' C's nursery. Hubby and I moved all our office furniture to what was sun room/craft/painting room last weekend, so I could paint over Fall Break. I didn't waste any time getting to work. I have had intentions from the very beginning to do a gender neutral room (leaning more toward "boy" colors... I am not a girlie girl), even though we are finding out the sex. This has perplexed a lot of people. Even if they don't actually say it (unlike my bestie, who said, "You know if it's a girl, you will totally have to re-do this room." Love you J.B.), they most certainly have a confused look on their face. Well, <i>I'm not</i> going to re-do. I like what I like and that's the end of it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Below are the before pictures of the wall. I love this color (Benjamin Moore, Lenox Tan). We used it in a few other rooms, too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc2oZJu77ClvL78xxwW4mha1Rmc5Z1Mb3E9cx0JLcFbzz6GQxHTkIhGuMS7HA8O8LfGujqvfD3DJ16QQH3LUBiF6S5NmM2vPM0lp5yOlM5BOI8V6qOjLxhi2wVks1ZRro7SWH0iTiOYL7-/s1600/DSC03209.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc2oZJu77ClvL78xxwW4mha1Rmc5Z1Mb3E9cx0JLcFbzz6GQxHTkIhGuMS7HA8O8LfGujqvfD3DJ16QQH3LUBiF6S5NmM2vPM0lp5yOlM5BOI8V6qOjLxhi2wVks1ZRro7SWH0iTiOYL7-/s400/DSC03209.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here are the after pictures. I had intentionally wanted the walls to be a light grey color. It turned out light blue with a very little <i>hint </i>of grey. It will do. No actually, I really love it. It is very peaceful and serene. Just what a itty bitty baby needs, along with mommy and daddy. There will be plenty of pops of color elsewhere.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Where to start? Well, I have decorated for fall, we are in the midst of fundraising for the St. Jude Half Marathon, Trey won $100 last night at his work meeting, my Fall Break begins in a week, aaaaaannnndddd, <i><b>we are expecting a lil' Baby C in March! </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">Yes, mid-way through a shotty summer, we got a little surprise. I am currently 14 1/2 weeks and feeling wonderful! We will find out the sex November 2. </span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">I am super pumped about decorating Lil' C's room. In all other aspects of my life, I tend to procrastinate, but not this.
