Catch Up with Claire

August

Left: Making brownies with Mommy on a Sunday evening. Doing this with my Mom was sort of a tradition when I was younger. Claire was super excited when I asked her if she wanted to lick the spatula.

Middle: Claire was thrilled to have a 'Ute' tattoo on her cheek for the first Utah football game. She loves to wear temporary tattoos.

Right: Being silly when we stopped at La Caille to look at the swans.

 
Bottom left: I walked by the bathroom one day and found Claire doing exactly what her father does. :) Wonder where she got that idea?

Bottom right: She also definitely takes after me and likes to be very organized and make things "shiny" (clean). She is an avid organizer which is music to my ears. Here she was putting away one of her toys. She said they had to be organized and all lined up.

 
Here is our little cutey patutey saying her bedtime prayers. She does such a good job and always says thank you for her Mommy, Daddy, Khloe, Ethan, all of her toys, and blessings.

 

 
Top row: Sadly, our next door neighbors moved away this summer and Claire had to say by to her friend Halle. She was thrilled when we got to have a play date at Halle's new house. They are such cute friends!

Bottom left: Claire was outside one afternoon riding her bike and said she wanted a snack. I came out a few moments later and found her sitting on her blanket with Baby O'Murria, eating a cheese stick, blueberries, chocolate milk, and a garlic biscuit. Too funny!

Bottom right: Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what happened in this photo. I think she wanted to help me vacuum and when she said she was done after two seconds, I told her she needed to finish. She was not a happy camper.

Here are some funny things she has said lately:

• "I don't like the freaking, freaking, freaking fly!"
• "When the sun goes down we have to put them (the toys) away. Everything needs to be organized and shiny."
• "Pass it" which is what she called her season pass to Cowabunga Bay.
• "Get in your tuckles" which means to get tucked in.
• "My favorite number is two." This is because she never wants to watch just one show or get one piece of candy.
• As she was drinking out of a pink spray bottle she got from her Aunt Rolayn she stopped and said "I am drinking toilet energy". Thankfully, it wasn't toilet water but we definitely questioned her on that one.

Gotta love this girl!
