Looks like Chloe is making her birthday wish! To all of our family, thank you for making Chloe's 2nd birthday party weekend so much fun and filled with so many great memories for all of us! Thank you for all the gifts, all of your time, all of your love and all of your help with the food and cooking. We couldn't have done it with out you! We love you very much! I think Chloe's wish came true!

Getting ready to wind down the dance party and have b-day breakfast.

Dancin', dancin' dancin'.....

Back in gramma's shoes and carrying around her b-day cards:)

Chloe's birthday party weekend wouldn't be complete with out a dance party, who cares if it's first thing when she wakes up, Chloe didn't?!

Getting in some snuggle time.

Chloe and cousin Tyler:)

After a long day of parting, Chloe was resting and playing.

Happy Birthday to Grandpa K!!! Thanks for sharing your actual birthday with Chloe and for dressing up in your Halloween outfit too!

Mmmm, I love frosting;)

Singing Happy Birthday.

Delicious birthday lunch!

Chloe loves her new wagon, thanks Gramma and Grandpa S.

Enjoying the amazing weather we had this weekend.

Chloe adores her couch/bed:)

Aunt Andrea and Uncle Rich thanks for the couch!

Chloe insisted on wearing her Cinderella dress for the party. And really, why wouldn't she wear her princess dress for the princess theme party?!

Chloe got to have a birthday cupcake for breakfast with Gramma:)

She also got to lick the beaters, Chloe liked the chocolate more than the strawberry.

This is Friday before her birthday party, Chloe wanted to carry around her number 2 candle:)

Papa and a Halloween Party!

Then they enjoyed playing in the yard but Chloe was calling for me to bring her dress down to her:) We stayed for lunch and desert and more playing. There were 5 moms and 9 kids partying, what a fun time!

Xander , Jackson and Sawyer are joining the art table.

It was a prefect fall day outside, cool but warm with the sunshine.

Chloe, Ethan and Brom painting their pumpkins.

Here is Chloe painting her pumpkin. She had soooo much fun painting, there are a lot of layers going on;)

During the ball hunt, they also got to find a pumpkin to decorate!

Then the kids went on a rubber ball hunt and collected the balls in their cute little Halloween baskets.

Today we had a very fun time at a friend's Halloween Party. Chloe dressed up as Cinderella as soon as we arrived at the party.

Wednesday morning we had an impromptu visit from papa! Chloe was so excited to see her papa again:) He treated us to breakfast where Chloe enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes with whip cream on top! Then afterwards Chloe got to see papa's truck. Later on that day we were talking about grandpa's visit and Chloe talked about his truck and said that it had a lot of room in it:)

Denver, Shoes, Braungers, Ariel!

Chloe is loving birthday month, today she got Ariel! Today we met up with the mom's group and had some fun at coffee this morning.

Horsey races, Jason is winning!

Monday night the Braungers came over. They are such fun friends, we are so sad that they moved to AZ but glad we still get to see them when they come back to visit. The daddies were giving horsey rides. Jeff had double duty with the twins:)

Monday Chloe is sporting her new light up, song producing shoes, she loves them!

During the reception Ethan's band made a special appearance and man was it fun mayhem!

Chloe's other fun friend, Brooke, she was the leaf girl in the wedding.

It was so great to see Josie again!

Chloe made a dancing friend:)

Chloe thought Kate was very special too:)

The gorgeous bride!

Chloe entertaining herself with some candles.

Then she gave Mindy at tattoo, then Mindy gave Chloe a "heart w/mom" tattoo:)

Then she colored her arms and hands!

Then she moved to the floor with some other kids.

There was a kids table at the reception. This is how it started, Chloe coloring at the table, very nice.

Chloe and daddy enjoying the sentiment.

How to keep an almost 2 year old occupied during the ceremony;)

The ceremony, gorgeous day!

We went to Bailey Saturday afternoon for our great friend, Kate's, wedding! It was the perfect day outside with a beautiful bride, dapper groom and super fun reception.

A classic Fin and Chloe picture:)

That evening we enjoyed a dinner out at Watercourse then back to the People's home to hang out. We had so much fun catching up but we probably stayed too late, we all were very tired and fell asleep right away back at the hotel.

Chloe, William, Jack and Noah taking a break from all that playing.

When Fin and Theresa arrived, Chloe was so excited and yelled Theresa and ran toward her. While sitting ion the ledge Chloe told Theresa that she missed her and loved her!

Chloe, Noah and William tree hugging;)

Chloe, Harper and William entertaining themselves.

Julia and Zoe made it out of the house too, Julie just had a baby girl, Iliana, three weeks ago. We were happy they made the special outing to see us.

Maya, Noah, Chloe and Jack enjoying their cupcakes. Chloe at the frosting and was all done;)

This past Friday we went to Denver as visitors, that was a little weird! We did get the chance to have a reunion play date with our favorite friends at the Happy Cakes, our favorite cup cake shop. Here are Chloe and Noah after they greeted one another, Noah was so happy and excited to see Chloe, he ran up to her shouting her name, gave her a hug and then asked if he could have her sucker:) They were so sweet together. Noah can have full on conversations with anyone, it was crazy! It meant the world to us that our friends came to see us, we miss them and think of them often. They will always have a special place in our hearts.

Aunt Brigett, Uncle Rich and of course Cinderella!

tah-dah:) Chloe couldn't take a nap while her Aunt and Uncle were here but the minute they left she fell asleep and of course she's sleeping in her ball gown!

Complete with a black choker and blue headband.

A perfect fit!

Chloe asking for some help to get the tags off and the dress on as fast as possible.

It came with a real, silver necklace too, it's Cinderella's slipper. Chloe was so excited to have a necklace like Brig and mommy wear.

We had such a fun afternoon! Aunt Brigett came over and not too long later, Uncle Rich came over too! Chloe had so much playing with them, she just adores her family. She did know that cousin Tyler was at school and Aunt Andrea was at work:)

Brigett brought over a gift for Chloe and it's her Cinderella dress up out fit that she plans to wear for Halloween and probably every day before and after the holiday as well;) Rich also brought over a gift, a pair of Cinderella shoes that light up and play music! There will be more pictures to come when she's wearing them. Thank you both so much for the gifts and for spending the afternoon with us, we had a great time!
