Kiersten Rebecca Cluff

Oh my sweet Kiersten!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture!
Isn't she endearing? Kiersten really is a wonderful girl. She is so excited to turn 8 in August and be baptized!
Kiersten is such a sweet girl!
She was so ticklish during this shoot it was really cute to watch her. She loves her Dad and Justin adores her even more!
I love her little dimple on her right cheek when she's really smiling!
Kiersten is a great example to her younger brothers. Hunter tells us he "wants to be as smart as Kiersten is at school, so he is going to try hard!" Kiersten is going to be a wonderful help when baby boy #3 comes in September!
Aren't they cute!

Hunter Jay Cluff

I absolutely LOVE this picture of me and Hunter! Hunter is such a funny kid! He really has a great personality and keeps everyone laughing all the time! During our shoot Hunter's personality really shined. Hunter is also a very tender hearted guy. He is thoughtful and concerned about people.
His laugh is contagious! While I tried to kiss Hunter on the cheek he kept turning his head so I would end up kissing him on the lips. He just thought that was the funniest trick!
Hunter was so giggly it was so fun!
What fun it is to be Hunter's Mom, most of the time!
Hunter just LOVES his Dad! He loves it when Justin takes him to work to batch the concrete early some mornings.
Justin is a wonderful Dad!
Two of my sweet men of the house!
I love this picture of them!

Logan Michael Cluff

We had a little fun photo shoot with our kids the other day. We just had a great time and tried to capture the fun. It was a success we think. Logan has a fun playful personality. He wants to be funny just like Hunter!
What a Sweetheart he is!
Logan adores his Daddy so very much!!
And Justin adores Logan just as much...........well actually more!

Geocaching @ Arivaipa Canyon

We found three Geo Caches while out at Aravaipa. The boys all went to find one of the caches while us girls waited in the rails. It was a stickery hike so we opted to wait for them. Hunter came back with his treasure and a bouquet of flowers he had picked for me. What a sweetie! On this find, we were all looking around and it was Hunter that found the cach. He was SOOOOO EXCITED!! This tree was hollowed out and it was at the other end of the tree. This is Hunter pointing to where he saw the cach and holding the steely marble that he picked out of it! See the black PVC pipe that is the cach and it has a log book in it and little treasures. Geo caching has been such a fun family activity for us!

Aravaipa Canyon

Little Miss Avry Jane. I wished I looked that good in a bikini!
Avry loved the water! Hunter made a "boat" out of sticks and yarn. All the kids had fun watching it float down stream and then chasing after it.
It was so nice to get out and enjoy the day with family!
On Memorial Day we took a day trip out to Aravaipa Canyon. We went to the cliff dwellings which the kids loved. Kiersten and Avry loved being inside the house. Avry was so funny because she really didn't want to come out from the house. Kiersten loves her little girl cousin, Avry and is a great help with her.
The very fun Uncle Quincy. We had so much fun spending the day with Quincy, Gloria and Avry.
Here is Quincy's cute family!
Our cute family outside the cliff dwellings.
Hunter's expression is so funny.
The kids had a wonderful time playing in the stream. They tried really hard to catch tad poles, but only Uncle Quincy was successful at it.
There was a slight current and the kids loved walking up stream so they could float down.
Logan will be a fish in his next life we think!
Kiersten's legs look so long in this picture.
Justin doing what he does best..............sitting relaxing and enjoying a bottleneck rootbeer!
Hunter made himself a nest so he could play like he was a baby bird. I love to watch my kids explore their imagination.
We took the rail and the jouner out to Aravipa. It was a beautiful day to be out riding and enjoying nature.
Avry finally took a nap and Gloria was happy about that.
Half the time our kids wanted to be with Quincy and Gloria which was nice! I told Quincy that he shouldn't be so cool and fun and our kids wouldn't like him so much. He just laughed.

Hunter's Preschool Graduation

Hunter is such a Stud! He asked his teacher if he could wear his church clothes for graduation so he would look sharp! When he told me this I asked him is he wanted to wear a tie. He informed me that he has to wear his suit because it was such an important day and he needs to look handsome! He is fashion savvy for a 5 year old boy. I think his wife will appreciate that one day. This is Hunter's graduating class. They sang a couple of really cute songs. This one was a lollipop song. Hunter is so handsome and growing up to be a great boy! This is his big moment getting his diploma from his teacher, Mrs. D'Anne. She has been an outstanding teacher and we have just been so impressed with this preschool. They teach the kids so much and take them on lots of cool field trips.
Cluff Boys, Love them all!
The girls with the big man himself!
Isn't he so handsome? He is going to make a great kindergartner! He loves learning and school. He is way excited to get to go to school at the same school as Kiersten.
This is Hunter with his best friend Callie! They were always field trip buddies and Hunter talks about her all the time. He colors pictures for her and brings her stickers...........he is quite the lady's man!
