A great summer week!

 This past Wednesday Chloe had her final bam-bam/t-ball game.  Thanks for all the wonderful coaching and encouragement from daddy!  Chloe loved playing with your guidance!   

 Since it was the end of the year they had the trophy presentation afterwards. 

Gramma Kneifl made the 7 hour round trip to watch the 45 minute game:) Thanks for coming to cheer Chloe on, she absolutely loved having you in the stands cheering for her as she played her best game yet!  This is Chloe's first trophy and she was so excited and proud!

 Chloe and Hannah after the game enjoying their trophy and cupcake respectively:)

 Chloe and I had a wonderful mom and daughter day this past Saturday while daddy was at work.  We went to farmers market where they had a kids day complete with face painting, Chloe got a pink heart on her cheek, games with prizes, as seen in her hands bubbles, ball and bracelets, inflatables, paint spin art, and complimentary hot dogs and slushies.  Then we went to Hannah's house to play for a little while.  Then Chloe chose to go to Mexico for lunch, always a great choice:)  Then we enjoyed seeing the blockbuster Brave staring the new princess Merida!  I just love my girls day out with my best girl!

 Daddy didn't miss out on all the fun, we did save going out to fro-yo for when he got home:)

Today we had a great time at story time, then gymnastics, then a Dr's appointment, and Chloe picked out a new toy, the bow and arrow from Brave that Merida uses for archery.  She is loving it and has put all the rest of Merida's outfit, dress, wig and jewelry on her Christmas list:)

We also want to wish Gramma Kneifl a very happy birthday, it was on Sunday!  We look forward to celebrating with you next time you visit with a trip to TCBY:))))

Happy Girl!

 Chloe has been having so much fun drawing.  Her latest fave subject are dogs.  She drew pictures of Rambo, Zella, Kiko and Caz:)

 Another awesome dog:)

 She still loves to draw portraits as well.  Here is her self portrait:)

 This one is of the family, it goes, daddy, Chloe, baby brother and mommy.  Now only if baby brother were actually born that would be great ;)

 This one is of Gramma Kneifl, Chloe and mommy:)

 We had a great time hosting a very special, Father's Day weekend!  It was so hot on Saturday and then it rained but it didn't ruin our party.  Chloe went from swimming to dancing in the rain:)

 Thankfully for our awning we got to enjoy the outdoors as well.

 Chloe getting ready for the parfaits her and Brigett made.  Thank you to everyone for cooking, baking, and cleaning.  It really went smooth and I appreciated all your help!  I really think that the pre-dinner hula hooping was one of my favorite parts!  I nearly lost it when it was Steve's turn and he got a foot cramp, too funny! 

 Chloe was very excited to stay up late to catch fire flies with gramma, Brigett and Andrea!

 Got another one!

 Sunday Chloe lovingly gave daddy his cards and gifts:)  She loves her daddy so much and so do I!  Happy Father's Day Jason, you're the best!

Papa got to show Chloe his truck, she even got to honk the horn several times!  He asked her if she was ready for a road trip and she thought that she might need to be a little older:)  Happy Father's Day to my dad as well, glad we could spend this extra special weekend together!

The rest of the week!

 We finished out our week with a bang!  Chloe and I met up with friends for lunch and then a trip to the theatre to see Pinkaliscious!  Chloe got all dressed up and fancy in pink:)

 Kaylee, Chloe and Adalyn ready for the show!

 Cute girls ready for a fun time!  They all had a great time and we look forward to more tickets to the theatre:)

 Saturday daddy and Chloe rode to farmer's market and picked up a little something for me:)  Chloe loves going on bike rides with daddy!

 It's early corn season and Chloe couldn't be happier.  She ate 3 ears last week for dinner and 2 ears this time! 

 Sunday we had Aunt Andrea, Stephanie, Greg, Carol and Julia and Jonathan over to play!  They even treated us by bringing along lunch!  It was hot, hot, hot and the kids had so much fun swimming, playing in the sand and running around.  Chloe loved playing with her old friend Julia!  And we were so happy to finally meet cute, lil Jonathan!  Thanks for making the time to visit us! 

 They probably could have played together all day!

Shy good bye hugs.

Another full week!

 Chloe's first day of summer school!  Chloe loves school and was asking for the few weeks of break when she was going to get to go back to school!  This makes me so happy:)  She's in the 4 yo class this time.  Some of her friends from the school year moved ahead and her teacher said that she would do great moving ahead as well despite being 3 1/2.  Chloe is loving being back at school!  She does miss her old teacher, Ms Tracey was amazing but she is warming up to Ms Stephanie quickly.

 Monday night Chloe had her tap dance recital!  Here she is all fancy with daddy:)

 She did a great job and had a fun time learning tap.  The special shoes made it all the more fun!

 They got to wear fancy clothes and dress up however they like for the recital.  Chloe wanted to be Belle, too cute!

 She's had Hannah as a teacher for all 3 of her dance classes.  She is great and so patient with the young girls.

Well Done Chloe! 

This week we've also enjoyed t-ball, story time at the library, going to my Dr's appointments and lots of play dates with bff Hannah and it's only Thursday!!!

Bowling, Horses and Boo-Boos

 The bowling alley here has a fun summer program where kids can bowl 2 games free every day this summer!  So we took advantage of it this past week.  We went with some friends, there were 6 kids, 2 moms, 1 prego mom and a nanny and it was pure crazy fun:)

 Ava and Chloe posing:)

 Chloe used the ramp and would also bowl with out it, she had a great time and it was so fun to watch her enjoy this sport.

 Happy with herself:)

 Hannah and Chloe cheering Bella on:)

 Saturday we enjoyed celebrating Hannah's 4th birthday!  She had horse rides in her back yard and Chloe was so excited!  She had to wear her cow girl boots of course:)

 Riding on Elvis:)

 Yee-haw!

 Riding on Princess!

 Chloe loved riding the horses and spent the entire hour and a half waiting her turn and getting in multiple turns when the other kids were playing inside.  I think she will have some riding lessons in her future:)

 Chloe picked out matching dresses for her and Hannah for a gift, too cute!  Happy Birthday Hannah!  We had a blast at your party!

 While I uploaded the pictures to the computer I got some surprise photos that Chloe took:)  Here are her babies!

Then a self portrait:)  Unfortunately Chloe fell while we were garage saleing on Friday afternoon.  She was running full speed up a drive way and caught her flip flop on a crack and skidded her nose, lip, wrist, both knees, ankle and bit her lip:(  She is all scraped up and it makes me cry just looking at her boo-boos.  This is the worst she has hurt herself but she heals fast and is already looking and feeling better.  She tells me "Mom don't be sad, I'm ok, I'm getting better, I don't want you to be sad."  She is just the sweetest little girl a mother could ask for.
