SYTYCD

Jessica, John and I went to So You Think You Can Dance - the concert tonight. It was blast! We had a great time. Thanks Jessica and Josette for getting us the tickets. I really enjoyed the "mattress" dance. John's favorite is the garden....hence the music on the blog. The playlist includes songs from SYTYCD season 4. We'll keep it on for a few days--just enough time to get them stuck in your head! "Four Real" - explained tonight that it means not only Season 4, but a combination of things that make the show unique, and can be applied to all aspects of life. John took the picture, I promise, he was there!

The Garden - Courtney and Gev

The Mattress - Kherington and Twitch

Crusin'

We had an amazing time on our cruise. Clara did so well. She stuck pretty much to her schedule as far as naps and eating (that girl has got to eat!). Here are a couple of slide shows of the pictures. We had so many! Clara was the hit of the ship. She was known as the girl with the headbands. Thanks Michon for the cute flowers!

Unitah's

Wow -- I didn't realize how long it has been since the last post. We've been keeping busy around here, but we were able to spend the day up in the Unitah's with Grandma Winchester and Poppa Blake. Here are some pics!

She is my child!

As most of the readers out there probably know, I, Amanda Armstrong, do not like vegetables. However, I have been a very good mom offering my girl veggies every night. First a container of veggies, then a container of fruits. Clara has liked most everything. She did however get the gag reflex when it came to peas. Grandpa Armstrong tasted the peas and did say that they needed salt, so I'll give Clara that. Otherwise, we have been on a roll.

Last night, we started with the "Mixed Vegetables". Clara does moan a little bit when she eats the veggies, but usually tolerates it. She knows that she gets some fruit after. But for some reason, it was different last night. We got to about the last three bites, and this is what I got...

A TEAR! She is definetly my daughter! So I started to feed her the applesauce, and she was fine.

This is a video after she finished eating, and shows her mad skills at the sippy cup. I love my Clara! (you will need to turn of the sound on the Pioneer Day post as I can not see in HTML how to delete it!)

Park City Arts Festival

John took Clara and I to Park City and we went to the Arts Festival. We had a great time looking at art from artists as far away as Israel! Clara loved seeing all the people and interacting with them. For dinner we ate at Irie. It had Caribbean and Cajun style food. I really liked it. I think John wanted to eat there to get in the mood for our cruise!

Look at Clara's nose crinkle!

Pioneer Day

We spent pioneer day at Barnes Park in Kaysville. Clara loves spending time with her cousins.

6 Months Today

Happy half birthday Clara Jean! Here is a slide show showing her growing up! Happy half birthday to John too! I love you both!

Memories

So, a few of my friends are doing this so I thought it would be fun! Please play and then you blog too!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Oh -- and here is a pretty funny picture of John and I like 8-9 years ago, at the Armstrong's for Sunday dinner.

Happy Independence Day

We had a busy 4th of July! To see all of the pics, click the link below:
