Picasso

Claire earned a paint set with her potty training. She was so excited to try it out for the first time. Here she is painting her picture.
She has even learned how to dip her brush into the paints. Although she hasn't quite mastered the idea of not mixing the paint colors.
And last of all here is her picture. My little Picasso. What do you think this is a painting of?
Claire said she painted a kite? Can you see it?

Look what we did!!!

Back in July I learned how to make fondant. I was really excited to try it, but never really had any special time to try it. Well we are in Utah for my parent's farewell....I took this opportunity as my time to try out making a fondant covered cake. Thanks to my husbands artistic talent we created the Stockholm Sweden Temple. Here is a picture of our creation. I think it turned out great! What do you think?

Guess the song

Claire is really into singing every where and all the time. We've tried to get it on video a couple of times, but with no success. We have finally gotten one on video. We are posting it and wondering who knows what song she is singing... Take a Guess! (sorry about her hair. It wasn't done so it kept getting in her face)

Hair Cut

Claire's hair has gotten really long. She doesn't like you to curl it and it looks all scraggly. We decided to get her hair cut. This is only her second hair cut. The last one you really can't say was a hair cut...we just trimmed her baby mullet. Here is the before photo.
Here are two during the cut pictures. She was surprisingly really good. I wasn't sure how still she could sit, but she did great!!
Now here is the after photo. We ended up cutting off over four inches of hair. Thanks Janelle for doing such a great job. Claire loves her Aunt Janelle and she looks so adorable. You're amazing!!!

Baseball

The other day Claire watched an episode of Dora that had Boots and Dora playing a game of baseball. Ever since then she has asked for a bat, ball and a mitt. Well she doesn't have a mitt, but today we got a bat and a ball. Here are a couple pictures of her playing ball. She is following in her cousins' footsteps as she pitches the ball.

She is learning quickly how to swing the bat and actually hit the ball.

Here she is posing for the camera. I'm not sure how good her form is, but she she loves it.

Here is a video of her actually swinging and hitting the ball. She loves it!!

The Stach

Bryan makes us smoothies for breakfast quite often. Claire loves to have them. She gets to excited. Here is a "smoothiestach" GOT SMOOTHIE???

Go Claire Go

The other day Claire kept making this odd sound. So I asked her what she was doing. She told me she was yodeling. It was so cute I taped it. I hope you understand it.
