Easter in Missouri

For Easter weekend, we decided to take a road trip to Missouri. It was great to see Laura's family!

Here are Laura's grandparents...

Grandpa and Grandma Kiehl

Grandma and Grandpa Tieman

"Baby Paula" tries to appear deep in thought.

Jenna and Mom - aren't they cute?

The boys watching March Madness...

Jeremy F, brother-in-law, Garth and Dad (doesn't he look enthused? I guess his team isn't winning)

Look! It's the Easter Bailey!

Our Little Bailey Sunshine! Can you tell we had fun dressing her up?!

Sweet Sleepy Baby

This is Clara Mae. She is my friend Kelly's baby. She is three months old. Isn't she cute?

Bailey, the destructor

If we had to name Bailey again, we would have named her Hurricane, Tornado or Tasmanian Devil. Here's why...

Since Bailey's first birthday was soon approaching, we decided to start weaning her from her kennel. We left her out for small increments for a while and then started leaving her out (in the house) all day while we were at work. This went very well for the first few days. But, by about day five, Bailey unleashed her fury. On March 4, Garth's birthday, we came home to this....

This is Bailey sitting next to what's left of our BRAND NEW area rug. We had purchased the rug a couple weeks earlier and she hadn't even considered chewing on it. But, it turns out she was fooling us all along and was just waiting for the right moment to go into "destroyer mode." What a way to wish Garth a Happy Birthday!

Here's what's left of the rug....

And, if destroying the rug weren't enough, she also chewed a crater in our wall!!! How she ate through dry wall is beyond us. Needless to say, "Bailey, the Destructor" is back in her kennel for a while!

Meet Baby Sarah!

Meet Baby Sarah. She is our one and only neice. Needless to say, we're big fans. She is 15 months old and lives in Cleveland. These are pictures from their visit to Nashville in February. As you can see, Sarah is all prepared for Valentine's Day!

Proud parents....

Amy, Sarah's mom, is Garth's older sister.
Carl, Sarah's dad, demonstrates the flying baby maneuver.

Even though Sarah's parents are both dentists, Garth tries to convince Sarah that becoming a lawyer is the way to go.

Sarah strikes a pose. Perhaps a career in modeling is in her future!

Wouldn't this make a great "Got Milk?" ad?

Meet Bailey

This is Bailey, our one-year-old Chocolate lab. However, she really thinks she is a person. We finally decided to quit arguing with her on that fact. In fact, she seems to get her way most of the time.

Her favorite activity is licking peanut butter out of her Kong toy...

...Or, straight out of the jar, for that matter.

She also enjoys car rides, so she can stick her head out the window and sniff the air.

Wasn't she cute as a puppy? She definitely started her diva ways at an early age.

Bailey then...

....and Bailey now!

Finally in the 21st Century!

Now that everyone we know has a MySpace page or a blog, we decided it was finally time to join the club. Although we're not the follower types, we thought that there might be something to this blog thing after all. (And, we needed to find a way to share all of the photos we've been taking on our new camera). So, here you go....the Clicks have finally made their mark on a small corner on the World Wide Web. We hope you enjoy reading about our adventures!
