Pretty pretty tulips!
Claire is enjoying some of Seth's cheezits while in the Secret Garden
On our way back to the building the freezing wind started up again, so we quickly ran over to see the waterfalls, took a picture, then headed up the hill with frozen snow pellets hitting us in the face. Claire really is inside her stroller- I am grateful for a full cover so she was sort of protected.
Once we left the building to head back to our cars the snow started, but here's one last shot of pretty flowers before we left.
This was funny, Amy put Seth in the car while she put her stroller away. Seth then decided he would drive home so he hoped in the front seat and even started buckling his seat belt. You can see my reflection in the mirror trying to get him to grab the wheel.
It was a great day (COLD but great) I'm glad we have our passes to this place so we can see all the pretty flowers throughout this season!
Claire had her 1 year check up with Dr. Johnson today. It also happened to be Jason's day off which I was so grateful for him to come with me since I knew shots were involved today.
Later on tonight I changed Claire's diaper and she immediatley felt the bandaids, and started pulling them off (ouch!) So here she is playing with the last one , its so cute- pink camo. 3 seconds later she had that one off too!
Claire loves her new sunglasses that she got from Aunt RuthAnn and Uncle Dennis, they keep her very entertained
Do you think you could find a silver ring in all these white, gray, and silver rocks without any Disney employees noticing you down there?
At the end of our dinner Claire got a case of the giggles, she thought it was so funny to put her spoon into one of our bowls on the table. She entertained a man behind my mom for a few minutes, she could not stop giggling.
Jay and I at dinner
It was SUPER windy outside and dusty, but it started to calm down a little as we left dinner so we went shopping for a few minutes. You can see Claire's hair blowing in the wind, and her lips all puckered up.
Claire making her famous face that she likes right now while sitting in a very comfy sued chair.
Grandma and Claire and the pretty flowers that started blooming.
These girls are so funny, I told them to go stand by this sign so I could get a picture and they immediatley smile and hug- their mother has them trained very well.
They had lots of fun playing different games and winning tickets
They also have this huge play area with lots of things to climb up and then slide down, these slides were fast too, the picture below shows them sliding down on their backs head first, there so crazy!
We stopped and got a drink before heading out, the girls got tops as part of their prizes so they are spinning on the table, I was surprised they were only 10 tickets and they worked great.
I forget that she is growing and she can reach for things off the table
I LOVE this picture! They were all trying to see who Claire would walk to, it was really funny. They started breaking out the jewelry, phones and treats to get her to come to them. It was a site to see! They did this a few times, I'm sure people thought we were crazy!
We then went on to Los Hermanos in Lindon for dinner that night. Then went back to our place and put together some of Claire's toys that she got for her birthday
Sunday morning we met them at their hotel, had some breakfast then went up to Cabella's. Claire made friends with Uncle Edgar.

Outside of Cabella's- Jason, Grandma Patti and Claire
We then made our way up to Park City, and went to the Olympic Park.
We then went outside and took a ton of pictures with the snow. It was quite warm up here so it was a perfect day to go.
Look at that bright blue sky!
Claire loved walking around out there, but she wouldn't go near that snow
Back inside the museum, Edgar carried the torch!
This look on Maria's face is priceless, she's trying to lift the curling ball. That thing is heavy
We then went down and had a YUMMY lunch at Ruby Tuesday's walked around the outlets for a little while, then made our way back down to SLC. We were in 2 different cars so I borrowed my moms walkie talkies so we could chat between cars- came in very handy. I then gave them a quick driving tour through SLC then we stopped at Little America for some dessert, then it was time for them to head to the airport for their flight home. We were so sad to see them go, but we did have a GREAT time while they were here, can't wait till they come back up to visit. As soon as we left them Claire crashed in the car, she did so good on all of our adventures. 
And the star of the party, well besides Claire... the cupcake cake. I was so worried this wasn't going to turn out. But it ended up alright since I am not an expert cake decorator.
Here's our lovely food spread, we had yummy chicken salad sandwiches, fruit, chips & dip, veggies.
Abby and Brenna playing with some of the balls (polka dots) before the party started.
Some of the decorations- I made a polka dot Happy Birthday sign.
Debra cleared everything off of the fridge and put pictures up of Claire, the 5 pictures on the left are of me on my first birthday, do you think we look alike? (click the picture to see it larger)
Ahhh Jennie is so nice, she sat at the kids table with my nieces
Enjoying the party- notice all the polka dots... he he
I know this is not a clear picture but it shows the kids enjoying the bounce house
Birthday cupcake time- I found this "1" sparkler at a party store, and it actually worked, I loved it. We also had cupcakes with polka dot sprinkles on them.
As you can see Claire didn't like her cupcake either, I made hers with a very very thin layer of frosting and she still wanted her fingers clean
Present time
California family bought their presents to Claire when they got up here so they didn't have to carry them on the plane. Claire was with them and I guess the rule was whatever Claire touched they bought... she got lots of fun things.
You can't really tell from this picture but Claire is doing a little dance because this Dora bike plays music so she was dancing to it.
She loves her little baby doll
Aunt Ruth Ann did a great job of displaying all of Claire's clothes
Here's Auntie Ree trying to get the birthday girl to take a little nap, it didn't work but she got some good snuggle time in with her.
The yummy chocolate chip cookies that Debra made for the parents to take home, notice the M&M's (polka dots)
Abby, Samantha, and Brenna showing the goodie bags that the kids got. They had Easter eggs filled with candy inside since Claire was born on Easter last year. And a bag of Yo-Go's (little yogurt cover fruit balls- more polka dots)
Here's a shot of Jason and out friend Jennie playing with the girls in the bounce house.
Claire loves this walking thing, so Auntie Ree went walking with her all around Grandma's house.
Hmmm can you tell where they are from??? California. They thought it was cold so they are all bundled up and even are taking a little nap at the end of the party.
Claire got inside this car and loved it- she was really driving.
And here's the 3 of us after the party was over (don't mind my obnoxious polka dot shirt- I had to buy it for the party)
It sure was a great day, thank you to all those family and friends who shared the day with Claire. We can't believe we have a 1 year old now!!!
