It's truly amazing how quickly the kids grow. Wesley is now enjoying more "solid" foods and sitting in her big sister's highchair. Any day now she's going to have one pearly white to show off in her constant big smiles she has for everyone around her. And, she's even sitting alone for a bit and trying to scoot on her belly to the toys she wants. Quinn's vocabulary expands everyday and it's hilarious to hear phrases that I suppose we say all too often around here. One of the cutest is "just a moment, please".

Lions and Tiger and Bears!
This weekend we went to Houston for a quick getaway. We packed up on Friday morning and spent Friday afternoon poolside. Saturday morning we went to the Houston Zoo, napped as a family that afternoon after a short dip in the pool and ate at one of our favorite restaurants - despite a power outage in the middle of our meal. We all had a great time!

A Day of Firsts
Today was a monumental day in the McClure home. Quinn took her first official swimming lesson and Wesley ate her first "solid" food.
Here's Quinn dressed in her swimsuit and cover-up digging in her new swim bag. In her swim bag she keeps her towel, sunglasses and SPF 50 sunscreen. She loved her first swimming lesson although as she says she "spit up" from drinking so much pool water. She was pretty advanced at the swimming portion but really needs to focus on keeping her mouth closed.
Here's Wesley moments before she enjoyed her first serving of rice cereal, although it was quite thin in consistency. Everytime she ate a spoonful and I said "Mmmmm" as I instinctually did she would crack up laughing. We're going to stick with the cereal once a day for a week or so before we start introducing new grains then fruits and veggies. It's amazing how fast they grow!

Happy Fourth of July!
We hosted a barbecue to celebrate the 4th with some great friends. Although it was 100 degrees everyone had a great time! Mike woke at 5am to begin the long process of smoking a brisket, some sausage and two chickens. This was his first time to use the smoker he received for his birthday and the results were finger licking good!
Wesley watches us prepare.
Heather and Wesley are ready for the party to start!

When she woke she was camera shy for a few minutes.
Quinn, Kate and Miles enjoyed driving the Jeep around the backyard while the grown ups played traffic patrol to prevent any collisions with trees.
Quinn enjoyed her first sparkler.
Quinn enjoys her second, third and each subsequent sparkler. She also loved all of the fireworks that followed. She would ask for "more, more way up there".
The night was a blast although we are sorry that we missed getting any photographic representation of a few other families including the McClures, the Zunigas, and the Perry's.
