Happy Birthday Chloe

It's hard to believe that Chloe is TWO YEARS OLD!!!!!
We had her Birthday party on Saturday. We went for a sleigh ride and out for Chinese food and cake. I think everyone had a good time. There was a few stressful moment but nothing out of the norm for having a gathering of 30 plus people. Next year we might scale it back a bit.

Highlights of the day: We stopped on the sleigh ride and Chloe said "Wow! horses have hairy bum". Troy and Carol got stuck driving up the lane to the sleigh rides (they pulled over to let someone pass, not knowing there was a ditch under that snow) one of the horses then towed the minivan out of the ditch. My Aunt Jody (AKA: Silly Jody) with my Nanny and her boyfriend Ben, came for the party from Fredericton. Chloe did a great job saying thank you for all her gifts. By the end it was getting harder to hold her attention. Chloe loved her Birthday dress. she calls it her Snow White dress. The first time she put it on she said, "Mommy I'm beautiful. Lets dance.". IT doesn't get much better then that.

My Funny Valentine

Jason and Chloe made this for Valentines day gift. I also got the picture framed. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Jack Frost

We bundles up and spent most of the weekend out in the cold. It was a great weather for it. Much better then last year. Chloe was able to really enjoy it this time around. She loved to see the people dressed up as her favorite characters.. but only at 20 feet away. Any closer and she hung onto me for dear life.

The Great Skate

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to share a few of the pics we got of Chloe's first experience skating. She did better then her Mum did. I made three laps around the rink and I had to go put my boots back on. My feet were killing me. Chloe did great. She did some skating with no support. I would say she went eight or so strides and then she started wnating to jump. Not a good combination: skates, ice and jumping.

Anyway, I hope you like the pics.

Long Time no Blog!

Hi People,

It has been a while since I have posted any new updates about miss Chloe Grace. As any Mom will tell you, it is hard to find time to do everything you want to do. There were times that I wanted to post something but found that making the memories were a bit more important then sharing them at that time. So... with that said here are some things that you may have missed if we haven't been in touch.

Thanks to all the people that keep checking to see if I got my act together and posted something. I promise to do better in the future. I love looking at all my friends pictures so I think it's only fair to share mine.

Oh Baby!

Chloe's First Frosty Treat experience... surely not the last






Well people, it had been a bit crazy here to say the least. Between working, eating and sleeping and cleaning up messes it doesn't leave much time to blog. But here are a few of my favorite pics of the last few weeks. I think they speak for themselves. Among the growing list of new things Chloe is learning are: where her bum and pee pee are, up and down, saying No No No! (her and us), and is we say "Mommy & Daddy Love...." she points to her self and says "Me,Me, Me!"....Life is Good.

Baby! What Baby... I don't see a baby!

Looking at these pictures and seeing our friends baby that is only a few weeks old, I realized that my baby is no longer a baby. She is such a little girl now. She is her own person who has strong opinions and doesn't mind sharing them. She enjoys long walks, dancing and anyone with a good sense of humor.

In the last year she has grown 10 inches and has almost tripled her height. I'm glad that doesn't happen every year. The girl would be massive.

Nice Cat!

Chloe said her first two word combo this morning. "Nice Cat!". Smegal and Precious are truly her pals. They let her beet them up all the time. She generally pets them and gives them hugs but sometimes she can be a bit ruff.

The Dollar Store is a great place to shop. Chloe loves her snazzy purse and matching earrings and necklace. Daddy however thought she looked like a little old lady.

Here is Miss Chloe enjoying her new Dora Chair.
She actually sits in it and uses it to climb the ottoman.

I know I must have a hundred pictures of her sleeping... but she is just to cute.

Yum Yum Thanks for the Grub!

This was a VERY big week for food with Chloe. She had milk for the first time, and she is doing great with it. She had food ordered at a restaurant, and she had ice cream. We went to East side marios on Saturday night and she had the plain chicken with some bread and milk. And she fed herself for the most part. She did a great job. On the way home we stopped at Dairy Queen and for her a strawberry Sunday. She ate a few spoon fulls and then figured out that it was more fun to play in then to eat. Immediately following she ice cream she had a bath. Grampy will be glad to know that the trips to dairy queen with Chloe can now begin!

Visitors from Away

Nanny Clowater, Jody & Troy came to see us last weekend. We were so busy having fun I didn't get as many pictures as I should have. All and all I think everyone had a good time. We shopped, ate, Jody was sick... My cooking must have set her off, and we went to church. Jason and Troy were able to go shopping to there favorite locations: Home Depo, Future Shop, Sobers.. And so on. While we were able to go and do what we wanted. Shop at Old Navy and Walmart. And Nanny go to go to her favorite store, Island Furriers.
