Summer Hats

Hot, humid, pool and hats sums up our day :)

Dada-Daughter Date Night

Tonight, Nate surprised Elyse by taking her on her first, and by no means her last, Dada-Daughter Date Night. Something I wish I would have done with my dad more when I was growing up. They spent their night enjoying a dinner for two at McDonald's and playing on the indoor play set (thanks to air conditioning, too hot to go out and play today). From the looks on their faces and the stories they shared, I know they both will never forget it.


Even though I was sad that they left me home, I didn't complain too much since I got to spend my time with my favorite littlest man in the world!

Mini Belle

Found the dress at a garage sale for $.50, totally worth it because she has had it on all day since we have gotten home. Plus she already had the matching shoes :) My little princess.

Fabulous Fun Friday

Every Friday is what is known as "Fun Friday" in the Klauser home. The day is full of doing fun things for Elyse and Caleb. It involves going to the zoo, picnics in the park, sledding, going to the mall or watching a princess movie (after finishing her work). All week I have been telling Elyse that we would go to the Children's Museum. A place where she could run, play and touch everything. She has only been there one other time so it was all new again to her. The reason it was a "Fabulous Fun Friday" besides the fact that the kids did great, and were smiling the entire time, is because Nate surprised us and took the day off to join us. I had the most enjoyable "Fun Friday" I have ever had with my three favorite people in the world today!!! :)

Who knew the littlest things..

...like watching a sister twirl, could bring on the biggest laughs :)

I am pretty sure I have said this before, I could watch these two interact with one another for hours, I love them both so much!!!

Elyse Recommends ~ The Bible

Recently I was talking with some other moms about a good bible for their children. I recommended Elyse's, "My First Bedtime Bible"; it has Old and New Testament stories, colorful pictures, scripture and prayers at the end of each right page. I often find Elyse reading hers around the house and it's a guarantee that you will find us Klausers reading it every night before bed.

Hope your child enjoys it as much as Elyse enjoys hers.

Zoo Day

Today, Elyse, Caleb and I joined Jenny and Aiden for a day at Como Zoo. Not only was the weather perfect so were the kids. We had obedient, happy and respectful children. I asked Elyse what was her favorite part at the zoo, and she said, "Seeing Simba and Nala with Aiden." :) Thanks Jenny and Aiden for a great morning, hope to do it again soon!

(Poor Caleb, he spent his first time at the zoo asleep in his stroller.) The kiddos laughing at the polar bears swimming in the water. One of my favorite animals to see at Como, the giraffes.
