What a wonderful weekend!

 Saturday morning us girls went to the orchard with our fave Petersen girls:)

 Chloe, Hannah and Ava feeding the goats.

 Chloe loves the corn pool on a fun, fall day!

 Chloe and Hannah petting, talking to and enjoying the sheep.

 Chloe and Hannah loved the trampoline pillow so much this time!

 They did great jumping with the bigger kids surrounding them too.

 They held hands and must have been playing their own little game because they were having a blast!

 So much fun!

 Hannah and Chloe riding the caboose together.  Ava wasn't so sure about the train yet.

 Choo-choo!

 Last activity of the afternoon, the duck, water pump races:)

 Saturday evening daddy had a great night going out to a concert with Uncle Tyler.  And us girls had a great time having Girls Night Out, or GNO like Rebecca like to call it;)  First up, getting Chloe's ears pierced!!!  This was Chloe's birthday wish and this was the perfect opportunity to get it done:)    Chloe was so excited, so brave and did awesome!  Here they are before. 

 And the after!  Chloe picked out 14k white gold, diamond, daisy studs, so pretty!  Included in the piercing package, Chloe got a sticker, a lollipop and bag of popcorn afterwards, all her fave things to ease the pain a little.  Chloe asked me if she was bigger now even though it wasn't quite yet her birthday:)  We did some shopping and played at the mall playground to round out our evening.  What an awesome GNO!

 Today we went to the Petersen's for a Halloween party.  Here are Ariel and Jessie the Cowgirl!

 Jessie, Ariel, Tiana and Minnie Mouse, but T-Rex was still napping at this point:)

 Craft time, decorating a pumpkin with stickers!

Next up, painting pumpkins, Chloe's fave!  Followed by cupcakes and lots of playing.  What a fun party, thanks for having us over!

Dance Class!

 Here is Chloe all ready for her 2nd dance class.  She's having a blast and wishes she could have class more often.

 Circling up for stretches.  For the stretching game they get to say what topping they would like on their pizza, Chloe said she wanted peanuts!

 For the second stretching game they do the butterfly and get to choose where they fly to, last class Chloe wanted to go to Cinderella's house and this time she wanted to go to school and play with her friends:)

 Standing on their dots getting ready to practice their positions they are learning.

 Here is first position:)  Makes me so proud!

At the end of class they play freeze dance.  Chloe loves to hold teacher Hannah's hand while dancing:)

This girl makes me laugh!

 Chloe has been cracking me up a lot lately!  Yesterday she was getting ready for the library and dumped out all her jewelry on her bedroom floor, picked out a couple pieces to wear and left it there.  Later on that afternoon I asked her to pick up the jewelry and after that we could go outside.  About 10 minutes later of total silence she came out like this!!!  I loved it!  It reminds me so much of how I always dressed up like a punk rocker as a little girl.  Most Halloweens I would make my own punk rocker outfit and look nearly just like Chloe on this random Tuesday:)   

First thing this morning Chloe wanted to get dressed.  She picked out her new outfit from Gramma Kneifl. After she got dressed I told her how cute she looked.  Then she went over to the mirror, looked at herself, turned around and said, "Aren't you going to tell me that I'm adorable"?!!!

So much fun!

 Thursday I went to stay at my parent's home and got to enjoy Women's Night Out with my sister and mom!  It was such a great time of shopping, eating, drinking, hearing a wonderful speaker and having good times with my women!  Thanks for an awesome girls get away!  Jason had fun being able to pick Chloe up from school, play outside, have Uncle Rich over, go to the Reiman Gardens, out for meals and spend some quality and quantity time with Chloewhile I was gone:)

 On Saturday we picked up the Petersen girls and went to a local green house for a pumpkin festival.  The girls had fun picking out their pumpkins and painting them.  Chloe painted hers like Fiona from Shrek, that is her latest obsession.

 Then they got to enjoy horse rides!

 Chloe's horse's name was Tigger and the woman called Chloe a cowgirl, she liked that:)

 Scary!

 Hannah's turn:)

 Saturday afternoon Aunt Brigett came to stay for her monthly date night with Chloe.  Chloe got to pick out her birthday present early!  She couldn't have been more excited.  She picked out Cinderella's carriage that is big enough for her barbie sized princesses.  It's been at the top of her very long, birthday wish list for months!  Thank you so much for spending the time with us and for getting the almost 3 y.o. an early b-day gift!

 Sunday since daddy was home, we all went to the apple orchard.  It was a gorgeous day and we had such a great time.  Above is Chloe walking through the tunnel, last year she could run but she has grown so much she had to bend over a little bit to get through!  And here she is getting another lasso around the bull, she's really good at it!

 Feeding the baby goat, this is one of her fave things to do here.

 Making corn angels and being nearly camouflaged at the same time:)

 Daddy likes the jumping pillow as much as Chloe!  It looks like the knocked everyone over but I swear that's not what happened!  What a fun day!  Chloe doesn't take naps anymore but after such a fun filled weekend she did on Sunday!  Only an hour and she needed it!

This morning we went to the Petersen's for a play date.  Chloe had a great time seeing her friends as usual.  She also wore her new, pink hair there!  Sometimes I wonder if she is turning 3 or 13!?!?!

Dancing, Dancing, Dancing!

 Chloe's pretending to be one of the girl chipmunks and is singing on the stage she made:)

 Thanks Gramma Smith for the kick start to my birthday:)

 Tonight was Chloe's first dance class.  Here she us upon arrival, excited and a little nervous.  She has been looking forward to this since I signed her up weeks ago!

 There are 10 girls in Twinkle Toes, it was such a cute and fun class!  Chloe loved it!

 Trying to make a circle.

 She really likes her teachers Hannah and Sally.  She even gave them good bye hugs after class.

 Stretching out as a group.

Doing the butterfly stretch game:) Chloe learned 1st and 2nd position, did some skipping and some toe work.  It was a blast to watch and she did a great job listening and following directions!

Weekend fun!

 Saturday morning daddy and Chloe went to the kids workshop at Home Depot.  This month's workshop was to build a helicopter.  Jason said she did a great job hammering in the nails all by herself this time:)

 Saturday afternoon we went to Uncle Rich's birthday tailgate.  Chloe set up the chairs into a bed complete with pillow, blanket, helicopter, panda bear, juice and snacks:)

 The party was so fun, at one point Rich and Chad performed their duo on top of the rv!

 Chloe and daddy chillin out after running around and playing games.  Chloe loved helping with the bags for corn hole and we had fun playing the game:)

 Mommy and Chloe, it was the perfect day out with sunshine, good food and great friends and family!

 Group shot!

The birthday boy with his niece:)  What a fun day!  Thanks for having us, we had a great time!
