My baby girl is 3!!!

I can't believe Chloe is already 3! her birthday was on Saturday, She's getting to be so big, way to fast!! We had a little birthday party with her friends on Friday night and she had a blast, she loved all her presents and they had fun hitting the pinata.


On Saturday, it was 1/2 off day at Bear World so we took her there, she loved seeing all the bears, they were so cute especially the little baby cubs they had, I wish I was able to hold one, maybe it's a good thing I didnt' cause then I'd run home with it ;)




Anyway, so after you go through the park they have a petting zoo(it was like chickens and pigs, and a couple deer) and they had a few rides for the kids....Chloe said she wanted to go on the rides, they were free so why not, they only had 2 workders for the 5 rides they had, the little roller coaster was getting ready to start so we ran over there, Vince and Chloe were both on and she was all excited about it, but after about 1 time around decided it wasn't so much fun and came off the ride crying, I felt so bad. The next ride starting was the cars, it looked like it just went around in circles, they got on that one, Chloe wasn't to sure about it but wanted to anyway, well, it rose up on the air and started shaking up and down as it was going around in circles, they stopped the ride so she and one other kid could get off, she came out and said "I jsut want to go bowling" She didn't trust anything else cause she wouldn't even get on the train that I know just went around in circles...she just wanted to watch a few times then we took her bowling.



That night grandma and grandpa took us out to Godfathers pizza, yum! they have really good pizza, anyway they have a horse there that Chloe likes to ride, she knows she has to eat her pizza first then she gets to ride, when she went to get on it, there was a bunch of older kids on it, they were like 17 or 18 she turned and looked at me and laughed saying that they were to big.

so organized...

So a few months back I converted the closet under the stairs to a "toy room" for Chloe, it's not huge but for a little girl it works for now, hopefully someday when we get into a bigger house we can be able to have an actual room for toys, but she loves going in there and cooking in her kitchen, turning off the light and using her flashlight to go "camping", and just playing. Well every night before bed I have her help clean up her toys, she usually just throws her toys in there and calls it good, but when she throws them in she's atleast able to walk over them until we put them back where they go, but this is what it looked like after she cleaned up tonight.




isn't it lovely? this is coming from a girl who washes her hands 100 times a day, 5 times in one washing, loves to help vacuum, dust, sweep and wash walls. but yet she just can't put stuff away nicely, it's so funny. I guess this is the next thing we have to work on....organization! :)

ITS A BOY!!!!! WAHOO!!! We saw right away, as soon as she put the thing on my stomach he was spread eagle ready for us to see!! :) we hadn't even started to look yet! We can already tell he's gonna be a little prankster though, when the technician tried to get a profile picture he'd look away, so she'd move the thing around and find the face again and he'd move again it was pretty funny. He kicked a few times and rolled completley over while doing the ultrasound it was really cute. Chloe loved seeing him on the "TV" anyway we're all really excited and can't wait for him to come. :)

Last day of school

Today was Chloe's last day of "school" (toddler lab at ByuI).I've been telling her this for a while now so she understands that she won't be going anymore. She said that she was sad cause she likes her school. I'm glad she had so much fun, I just hope she always loves it as much as she does now. The teachers did a really good job to make it special and fun for all the kids, sometimes we'd see Chloe sit on the stairs and get really sad we'll ask her what the matter is and she'dsay "I just want to go back to my school" I guess 2 days a week just isn't enough for her. I did sign her up for Preschool, but that wont start until January sometime, (the fall semester was full) she is excited for that, she knows that when another Christmas comes it's gonna be time for school again. She told everybody that a few weeks ago over and over again.

That reminds me of school, I actually kinda miss it, (am I crazy?) I mean I love where I'm at now, and wouldn't give it up for anything, but sometimes when you think of High School don't ya kinda miss it? I do, I loved it... no responsibility except if you had a job or homework if you actually did it ;) and just plain fun, friends and doing whatever you wanted, oh and ballroom, I miss dancing so much!!! I want to go through all my pictures from back then and post some (I got some good ones of you Laura...ha ha j'k I won't post anything embarrassing )

Sick

but this time it's not me...it's Chloe. it all started yesterday afternoon, she told me she had a headache, I gave her some tylenol. Then she crawled up on the couch and cuddled with me (which is not her usual thing to do) she leaned her head on my face and she felt so hot! so I went and got the thermometer, sure enough she had a high fever of 103 about 4 hours later it was still pretty high so I gave her motrin, it brought it down a little but enough. She started to tell me she hurt all over, her head, her toes and her neck(throat) the weird thing was is she was acting completely normal other than her cuddling with me. We watched her temp. the rest of the day and just before bed it was down to 100 so we thought she might just get better. When she woke up it was back up to 103 gave her more meds and it brought it down but still not enough. we were hoping to wait till tomorrow to bring her to the doctor but after her nap it was 104 with meds still in her, plus she threw up, her face was so red and so was her tummy, so we just decided to take her in. poor thing has strep throat. :( she did really good during the strep test, I told her they were gonna tickle the back of her throat so she wouldn't freak out and it seemed to do the trick, she did so good. Hopefully she'll be lots better soon!

Happy Birthday Vince!!!

Today Vince turned 30!!! I told Chloe that daddy was gonna have a birthday and she got all excited and started telling me all the things we could do, she wanted a party at the clubhouse with all her friends, a little mermaid pinata, balloons (in the air and on the floor) a cake with candles, birthday hats and of course presents. Well we didn't do a party or a pinata, but we got everything else including a birthday banner.
Yesterday we went to his favorite store, Best Buy, we got him a new ipod cause the one he had broke, (well it was a cheap generic one on e-bay for maybe $30) Chloe almost gave that away, Vince asked what we got him and she started to say, well it's a little square...that's where I cut her off, Hopefully it didn't give it away to much.
Today we got the balloons and all the other decorating stuff and things to make a cake (crumb cake, his favorite) and of course the candles, Chloe picked out really tall ones that I don't think will stand up on this cake, but they have stars around the numbers, she calls them wishes, and I thought it was really cute she was planning everything, so I just went along with everything she picked out.
We got home Vince was there already, but oh well,he was occupied with Guitar Hero. she gave him the balloons and said Happy Birthday probably 100 times, we hung up the banner, and blew up the floor balloons and she made us wear the birthday hats. it's so cute that she's so excited about daddies birthday. Here are a couple pictures I took, (the cake wont' be, it's in the oven and as soon as it's out vince will probably eat it) (btw, that's a rug burn on Chloe's nose, we were at apex the other day and Chloe was running to the bathroom and totally skidded across the carpet on her face, poor thing)

She's gonna be a great big sister!!

So I told Chloe to go upstairs and pick out some books for bedtime, I walk in the room and I see her feeding her baby the bottle, she said "I need to put the baby to sleep before I pick out books." Once the milk was gone, she said "she's not asleep yet" and started to rock her to sleep, so cute! she kept telling me to "shhh" She's gonna be a big helper! :)
