Chloe turns 3

Chloe turned 3 on September 30Th. Daddy took the day off of work to spend with her and we had a fun day at home while Christian was at school. After school we picked him up and headed to Chuck E Cheese's for some pizza and fun. We came home and had cake and ice cream and opened some presents. She was a happy girl!!

Not so happy that brother helped blow out the candles.Lets try again. Her wish was to ride Small World again. :)
I love this pic of Christian. He looks older in it than he appears to me in real life. It makes me stop and think!Some new make-up.

3 things you may not know about Chloe...

1. She LOVES to sing and dance and does it daily.
2. She speaks very well and has since a very young age.
3. She loves to jump in puddles of any form. If you see water you have to grab her quick or she's wet before you know it.

Happy birthday Chloe-bear! We love you so much and are so glad you were chosen to be in our family. xoxo

beach party

We recently made a trip to Huntington beach to celebrate Nikki's (our sis in law) birthday. Sadly it was probably only the 3rd beach trip for us this year. We ate some hot dogs and cheesecake and watched the crazy little boys enjoy the freezing water. It was a really fun time and I'm glad we were able to make it to the celebration. We love you Nikki and are so glad you are a part of this family!!

That's right, we got her a Snuggie...don't be jealous!All the kids (mostly Chloe)could talk about all day was making sand castles.Hayden (Nikki's nephew) just couldn't keep his hands off Chloe,but she is pretty darn cute.Escorting her to the water.Crazy boys, the water was COLD.Really, he did love it!She wants no part of that cold water.Playing it safe up on the shore.This is by far my favorite image of the day. Chloe's face is priceless..."dude, leave me alone already!"

Christian turns 5

Christian turned 5 on August 20th...I just can't believe it. Really, I feel like he was just born last week in so many ways. He had school on his birthday, but we brought treats to share with the class to celebrate. He choose Toy Story cookies. When he got home from school we celebrated with a chocolate muffin(cause he loves them)and a few gifts.

Auntie Michelle, Uncle Jim and the boy's gifts were a huge hitI think the pencils were his fav from mom and dad...ok,maybe not His gifts from mom and dad (some video games)And from Chloe (a Bumble Bee Transformer)And to top off the event we celebrated at Disneyland two days later!!!

Happy birthday Christian! We love you so much and are so glad you are in our family! xoxo
