4th

What a wonderful fourth of July.

BBQ and family.

Learning to shoot a "girl gun".

Watching the cousins run around playing with each other.

Roasting weenies.

Parades.

Fireworks.

Finding dead squirrels.. and touching them..

Is it wrong that I love the upset look on her face?

 Before I could protest or even realize she had bent down to touch it.. the damage was done.

Why do I love so much that she was worried about this dead squirrel?

She didn't understand. She wanted to help him.

So sweet. 

 Chillin in the hammock with dad.



 I think Ender enjoyed the hammock more than anyone.

I adore this little girl.

 I realized something profound this fourth of July. Seems funny that I hadn't before.

The patriotic feeling I get when I see military men, The pride & respect

and allegiance I have for our country is the

same feeling I get when I feel the spirit.

 This was the first time Chloe went to the Parade.

 Last year it interfered with her nap.

She loved it and danced when

the high school band came by.

 Candy and glow necklaces= fun.

 C watched the fireworks from the street.. literally

I am so thankful for our country and those who fight for our freedom and safety.

I thought a lot about my brother Zachary today

Thank you for all you do.



Daddy 6.17.12

What little girl doesn't love her daddy right? Well this little girl is no exception. He is the most important person in her life, and it shows.

 These two are so silly. They just get each other.

 Before I had Chloe I was a bit worried that Adam wouldn't be the dad I hoped for him to be. That sounds so harsh, but I can honestly say I am so glad that this is not the case. He is the BEST dad. He loves our little daughter so much. He jumps at the oppertunity to take her places, and have one on one time with her. I so love that they both enjoy

spending time together. He lets her be her, and embraces her funny, silly little self. 

  

 These pictures were taken in Santa Cruise. My friend Darby and I went to get massages, while Adam and John took Chloe for a nature walk to check out the banana slugs.

In our opinion he is the very best Dad there is.

Happy Fathers day to my sweet husband and Father of my child. These little babies of ours are the luckiest of all to have you as their wonderful example.

I couldn't help putting these pictures up. This little girl has a serious sweet tooth. Every time I bake Chloe comes in and grabs her stool, and stands by my side waiting begging for me to give her a taste.

I oblige most of the time. This time I thought I would let her lick out the bowl..

 Helping my mom make my cupcakes for the party

I swear I give this little girl a bath 2-3 times a day on average!

If I let her she would solely eat sugar all day long.

This past weekend we had a little party for Chloë. She loves the little Mermaid, and anytime she sees things in the store that are little Mermaid she sings "Ahhh ahhh ahhh" (the song Ariel sings when the sea witch takes her voice)

So we went with an Under the Sea theme for her 2nd birthday party.

Chloë has started to like dress up clothes. She started out wearing her tinker bell oufit, and then changed into her bathing suit.

We had ocean cupcakes with sand and shells on top, sand pudding, Ocean water (blueberry lemonade), whale crackers, fish bowls (blue jello with sweedish fish),Shells and cheese, Shrimp, "seanut butter" and jelly sandwitches (pb and j shaped as fish) and cababs.

It was so hot that all of the deserts melted. The kids didn't seem to mind.

 

The kids had a blast with the water balloons and the pool.

Chloë and her guests enjoyed octopus hot dogs.



They fished for prizes..

Ate "oysters and pearls"

The kids enjoyed playing with the bubble blower

Lots of aqua frosting on these cute little faces

Adam grilled most of the party. Men and their grills..

We played "pop the bubbles" for treats inside.

Kiddie pool party



Her guests got little Under the sea gift bags filed with fun sea toys and candy.

I can't believe my little girl is two.

You are growing so fast! You have become such a sweet curious little girl.

You are very active, and don't like to be restricted, or restrained.

You are a free spirit, and enjoy all things sugar.

You LOVE  your "show" and can't get enough of daddy.

You talk all of the time, and sometimes others don't know what you are saying so I translate.

For example AH-YoYo means = I want.

Where that came from.. We don't know.

You started out just the tiniest thing..

And you grew..

And grew some more..

This is you on your birthday last year. I thought you looked SO BIG.

and now..

Look at you. My little Angel. We adore you and are so happy that you are in our lives.

Happy Birthday Chloë-lu.
