As you can see Miss Claire is growing like a weed. She is still petite but is feisty as ever! She weighs about 21lbs now, has 2 teeth and is working on her third. She is running all over the place and is learning new words everyday. (remember if you click on any picture it will make it bigger)

Lone Mountain Hike
this is mountain that is right on the edge of the city but still in city limits. There are houses 360deg around it. It is a nice hike with amazing views!
 |
| the mountain- doesn't look so big, but it was! |
 | |
| half way up- this is the back side |
 | |
| We MADE it!! |
 |

| yummy!! |
we hiked for about 3 hours this past saturday up a mountain called Gass Peak. It was nice and quiet. We didn't even see one other person while we were hiking, we packed a lunch and as you can see Miss Claire loved her peanut butter sandwich. We love going hiking as a family and claire seems to have fun also. Our ultimate goal is to summit this Peak (on the other side is a view of the vegas valley) but to summit it says it will take about 6 hours round trip, so that will probably have to be minus miss claire. she can only handle being in the back pack four about 2-3hours max. overall we had a really nice day getting out of the city and exploring.

| this part of the trail was so rocky and steep- the pic doesn't do it justice how steep it was. it was a major leg burner! |
 | |
| lunch time- she sat on the rock by herself- such a silly girl! |
