Newest Little Ute Fan!

We took C to her first Utah game on the 2nd. It was the PITT game so it was extremely loud and we didn't bring ear plugs. She was not a happy camper. We finally got some from Guest Services, but they were adult size. Even after ripping them in half they still didn't fit. She wasn't too thrilled with the game and we spent a little time walking around outside of the game to calm her down.

I love her little pose in this picture!

We took her to her second game on the 11th. This time we were prepared with earplugs, but not with sunscreen. She got her little face and head a little burned, but not too bad. She liked this game a lot more! She was such a good girl! She watched the game, and even cheered a little. This time we had her all decked out in her Utah Cheerleader get-up. However, we forgot her bow, and people kept calling her a boy! lol Even though she was in a dress, she still got called a boy. Oh well... Next time, we won't forget the bow! The cute outfit was given by some family! THANKS GUYS!!! She looks so cute in it!

And of course the UTES won both games!!! GO UTES!!!

50 YEARS

My Grandparents just celebrated their 5oth Wedding Anniversary! Wow... So amazing! My grandma wanted to get family pictures as part of their celebration, (the rest of the celebration included a suite at the bees game & fireworks). So we all went and had a family photo shoot and they all turned out really well! Claire did great. She wouldn't do any pictures of just her, but in the family pics she was smiling! Here are a few...

I love Claire's face in this one...

Blessing

We were finally able to bless Claire on September 5th. It was such a great day! We had lots of family and friends come. It was so fun to see everyone. The blessing went great. Joe did a great job. Claire did cry a little bit, but it was because she wanted to sit up. She looked so dang cute in her white dress. We barely escaped a blowout. Right after her blessing in the middle of the sacrament she decided to toot and poop very loudly in a very quiet room. Funny, yet scary. Joe quickly went and changed her before it made too big of a mess. Thank heavens that dresses come with diaper covers!!!

The day was a great success and a lot of fun! Thank you to everyone for coming and for all of the help!

Growing Girl

I can't believe how fast time flies! Claire is getting so big and so much fun. We tried to put her in a walker because she loves to stand and she is such a strong baby, but I'm thinking it is a little too soon for the walker. Her feet don't touch the ground so she sways back and forth. She tried to eat all the toys and lasted about long enough to for us to take a few pics. We'll wait just a little bit longer and I bet she'll love it!


She has also started rolling over now. She loves this little flower play mat but rolls over and gets stuck. She loves the cute toys that hang. She loves to grab them and can now pull one of the flowers and it plays music.

She is such a cutie! She is now making these little grunting noises when she's falling asleep. It is so funny because her eyes are closed, but she still makes the noises. She is talking like crazy! It is so dang cute! She's growing so fast which is definitely a bitter sweet feeling.
