The world mocks me..

Today the world mocked me with an all too true cartoon representation of my life.

Christmas!

Can't believe Christmas has come and gone! Chloe was spoiled by everyone, and she spoiled me. Here are some pictures.


We had a Sleepover the weekend before Christmas

The girls are just too cute!

Making Cookies

Making chocolate dipped pretzels and candies

Christmas Eve, opening a present from her Grandma Anne

Being cute Jammies from Grandpa

After Santa stopped by

Chloe's first look at the loot! She is in the shadows in the left, which is good because she had an accident in the night and was in her birthday suit.

Opening the Giant Present! (She came in at 6:30 am and said "Mom Santa was here and he left a Giant Present!")

"My house, My house, it was just the one I wanted!"

Almost open....

It's taller than she is but she loves it!

Hugging a little doll from Grandpa that was actually names "Little Chloe"

"A daddy Barbie!"

"Dress up!, how did Grandpa know this was the one I wanted?!"

The loot after all the unwrapping. Thank you to my Branch for the beautiful dresses for me and Chloe.

Using her new paint pens on her new pad of paper.

Bed Tent

Chloe got a bed tent for her birthday. Here she is inside hugging the cute Pucci Pup she got from Grandma Sherri.

4th Birthday Party

Here are some pics from Chloe's party. After being stressed all day and only a couple friends showing up, Chloe still had a good time. Her real birthday is the 9th, so she and I are going to dinner that day. Can't believe how fast she is growing!

Birthday/Christmas Wish List

Okay so here are a few ideas for Chloe's birthday and/or Christmas which are rapidly coming up.

For her birthday I have decided to get her a Leapfrog hand held gaming system. This my compromise to the Nintendo DS that she really wants. That is her big birthday present from me.

So:
Leapfrog Games (age appropriate) PreK-K
Books
Dress up

For Christmas she is getting a dollhouse for her Barbies. This is a joint gift from her Grandma Ann and myself.

So:
Dollhouse accessories. She is getting the Imaginarium Cozy Cottage Dollhouse from Toys R Us
Barbies (she really likes the dolls that come with babies or little kids)
Books
Movies
Leapfrog Games.
Lite Brite

For myself for Christmas for those interested.
Giftcards are great.
Bookstores
Kohls
JC Penny
Target


Can't believe it's upon us! Hope all is well with everyone.

Here is a cute picture of Chloe dancing in the mirror in her new PJs (Thanks Dad!)

Halloween!

So Chloe is not actually with me today. :( However yesterday was her preschool party and I got to be a part of that, I in fact stayed for the whole thing. Which wasn't much. It was several Halloween stories, coloring and then of course junk food. Chloe of course dressed up. Here are some cute photos.



Posing in her Witch Costume, I kept it pretty simple. Nearly everything is something she can wear on a normal day.

No she is not flipping the camera off that is not her middle finger, look closer! She just wanted to show off the nails.

Going to get me with those nails

Tried to get a cute shot of her makeup...

My favorite part of her costume!

Listening to stories at Preschool

Actually got a half smile from her

Waiting for treats

Very intense coloring of a pumpkin

Beautiful Fall Photo!

This is from this past weekend in Utah. We had gone down for Anna's Birthday and this was what we did in the morning.
