Fall Friday

The weather has been amazing, mid 70's these past two days. We did strollercise yesterday at Wash Park and then played at the playground for hours. We were both worn out after all of that! Today we hung out with Amy and Henry. We all walked around Cheesman then played at the play ground. Chloe loves walking up and down the little ledge at the playground. She tries really hard stepping down but it's still a little scary for both of us. She also took off running down a hill! She was running so fast, cute as can be and eventually the speed caught up with her but she got back up and kept going. Chloe is a tough, little daredevil.

Wednesday

Tonight we celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary! We went out to dinner at Watercourse, my fave and will soon enjoy our traditional apple pie for dessert:)

Chloe still enjoys swinging.

Today we enjoyed a beautiful day in the park with 17 parents and babies! We played at the playground, took a lap around the park and picnicked. But by the looks of things you can probably tell that Chloe isn't much of a picnicker:)

Monday and Tuesday

Eli and Chloe playing with the blocks. Eli was hosting today:) We had a great time!

Madison and Chloe playing with the pushing cart.

Tuesday we headed out to Nguyen's home for a play date.

Monday Chloe had her 1 year Dr's appointment. She weights 20 lbs 11oz and is 29 inches tall! She had 4 vaccinations and we were there for an hour and a half, way too much for both of us. So I forgot all the papers on the table and therefore I don't know the %'s this time.

Chloe's 1st Birthday!!!!!!!!

We had a great day celebrating Chloe's 1st birthday and Halloween as a family and with friends!

Julie made a pumpkin pie to celebrate Chloe's b-day and we all sang to her.

Chloe and Fin playing with the barn.

Back to the house to play for a while.

Mama, Chloe, Julie and Zoe after trick or treating.

Chloe loves getting shoulder rides from dada.

Marnie was Dorthy and Dalila was a ladybug.

Fin was a dinosaur.

Zoe B. was a bee:)

After a quick nap we headed to Julie, Josh and Zoe's home to play and then go trick or treating at the festival down the road. Zoe was Dr. Q T Patootie :)

Family pic at the zoo, then our battery died.

The bear is really relaxing in the sun! It was a beautiful day outside.

Getting some treats!

Getting ready to trick or treat at the zoo.

Checking out all the people at the zoo, it was crowded!

Getting ready to go to Boo at the Zoo. Chloe prefers her hanger to her wand.

The box is really fun!

Cool! How does it work?

Look what I got dada!

She could rip through the tissue paper with no problem!

On her birthday morning, Chloe and dada were playing a game of peek-a-boo behind the lion!

Checking out who's calling her.

Calling her peeps;)

And a couple new outfits to add to her wardrobe:)

A new cell phone, she likes the noises on this one.

Elmo in a box, so fun!

Chloe is opening presents that Grammy and Grandpa S sent. She really liked the Elmo card:)

Snow Day!

We got home and Chloe was able to actually touch the snow with her hands. She liked it and played with it until it melted.

Mama and Chloe posing for a snowy picture. We all had a blast playing in the snow!

Chloe was missing Rambo and Zella and this golden retriever was trying to help her out.

We headed down to the park for some more action.

Snow Bunny!

Dada and Chloe having a great time.

Swerving up and loving the ride!

Starting out on the sidewalk before hitting the feet.

So we bundled up and went sledding and it wasn't just inside this time;)

Today we had a family snow day! Jason was sent home from work as soon as he showed up. And he brought me home banana bread french toast! I won't be surprised if you all are booking the next flight out here just from those 4 little words:)

Tuesday and Wednesday

Chloe had some things she needed to do on her laptop this morning;)

Wednesday we are part of a winter strom warning so we didn't leave the house. But Chloe was all comfy and cozy in her new Harley outfit.

Here's a shot with the logo visible.

Tuesday we were trying to get back into our routine and get some laundry and chores done. So Chloe sported her new IA State gear:)
