Claire Turned Two!!

Yesterday was quite the day. It was Claire's 2nd Birthday. We had a small party for her and Thank GOODNESS the sun came out and the kiddo's could play outside for a bit and really burn some energy. I still can't believe that I am a mother to a 2 year old and a 4.5 year old.... and pretty soon another one. Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet little girl.



Loving all the balloons


Smiling nicely for Grandpa


Claire wasn't feeling the best, so she spent a lot of time in her high chair 'resting'.


Getting ready for cake...







The frosting was a hit!



Present time



Claire got a bubble machine which was a big hit with all the kids!




After the party Claire got REALLY into singing "Happy Birthday to you" she was singing it all last night and all today.

15 Weeks - Belly shots

Thought I would post some pics of the belly with the girls too.. just for old time sake. I am trying really hard to enjoy this pregnancy, and the 'miracle' of it all, since I know this will be the last. It is hard sometimes, but I'm trying....

15 weeks with baby #3 (with Regen and Claire showing their bellies too)

Almost Caught Up... (February Edition)

Whew, I am finally caught up. Hopefully I can stay on top of the posting from now on.. at least until baby #3 comes. I can pretty much guarantee that I will fall behind then.

I was very lucky to be able to have a girls weekend in Seattle with my 3 best friends before all these babies come around. We got pedicures, ate a great dinner and desert, shopped and stayed at a hotel in the city. We had a great time and it was a much needed break!

Colin took the girls to the zoo while mommy was gone.

Feeding the birds


Watching the baby gorilla


We have had an amazingly nice February. I am getting a little too used to the nice sunny days where the kids can play outside for a couple hours and exhaust themselves into taking a great afternoon nap. The rain started again today.. and I am sure the rest of March will be the typical February!

A little Chalk Art


Both girls favorite thing to do is ride their bike and scooter.





This is a video of Claire riding her scooter. She has discovered that she can move pretty dang quick down the little hill in the back yard. She finally learned how to stop herself with the toes of her shoes, but before she was slamming herself into the gate.


Another favorite thing to do is dancing (and dress-up) Both girls have some pretty entertaining moves, but right now Claire's are the funniest.. probably because she doesn't think she is being funny. Regen is a little entertainer and 'knows' she is being funny!

This is the best video I could get with Claire dancing. Whenever she sees the camera on her, she just spins in circles. You can kind of see her little side bum wiggle and head nodding. It is hilarious to watch in person.



Omi made the girls Mermaid Nightgowns which have been a huge hit. I think Regen would wear hers every night if she could. Claire's is just used for dress-up right now until she learns to keep a blanket on herself at night. Thanks Omi!!




Happy Valentines Day!!
Regen and I made a cake and Jello Jigglers for our special Valentines dinner. We also got a heart-shaped Pizza and drank strawberry milk. It was a pretty exciting evening for the Worsley Family!









We got the Wii!
Well, I am eating my words. I have said in the past that we will NEVER have a game console, but then the Wii came out and I changed my mind. So far me, Colin, and Regen have been having a lot of fun playing the sport games and using the Wii Fit. I think sometimes I get a better work out laughing at the person playing than actually doing it myself (ie. Colin doing the hula hoop). I have been asked by a number of people to get this on video to post. I will try, but I will have to be sneaky!

Trying out some Wii bowling


Regen is actually pretty good at golf
