Sorry I didn't write last week, I feel like there wasn't a whole lot going on. We did take family pictures last week. We were at the park for 2 hours getting pictures done. Jeremy's siblings and their families were all there to get a huge family picture. We also got individual family pictures. Poor Clara didn't want her picture taken at all, so we fought with her the whole 2 hours to come join us in the picture. It was crazy. But we were able to get a decent one despite her unwillingness to cooperate.
Our city had it's Summer Fest last week. We were able to see the fireworks right from our apartment. Clara happened to still be up and was so excited to watch the fireworks - at first. She started to get scared and would run inside and look out the window instead. She would then slowly come back out and then run back in again. But Jeremy was able to get some nice pictures of them on our camera. I was pretty impressed with how it turned out.
This week, our good friends Jim and Kristy invited us to attend a Real soccer game. Real is the name of Salt Lake's professional soccer team. Clara loved getting to go watch a "soccer ball game." She refused to call it a soccer game. Apparently, in her mind at least, the ball is the most important part of the game. She did watch the game quite intently. As you can see from the pictures, she wouldn't even stop watching the game long enough to look at the camera.
Jeremy is still getting interviews, but still no job. I feel like a broken record each week.... I keep thinking that it won't be long now until something comes through, but it's still not soon enough for us. :)
When did my little Clara get so big? I decided to try out this new hair style on her the other day. When I finished, I realized that it made her look like a grown up girl, and not my Clara.
Clara is going through the stage where you can't call her something. For example, the other day I told Clara that she was smart. Her reply, "I not smart, I Clara." She'll do that with any compliment we give her. It still makes me laugh every time.
I couldn't ever get a good shot of the great bubble and the hula hoop, so here are some that I could get, just imagine the hula hoop at the other end.
Clara really wasn't too sure about this whole bubble thing, so I didn't get a great picture of her just because she was ready to get off after the first try. So here she is trying to hold the bubble away from her, but if you look close, you can see the bubble!
You could also blow a bubble using string and the wind
And you could just use your hands too. Amazing!
