Happy Birthday Sweet Baby!!

I can't believe how quickly time flies! It only seems like yesterday you were born!

I was looking through Chloe's baby book and, she has grown so much! In a year she has grown 4 1/2 inches tall, and her feet have grown 3 shoe sizes.

Today we had a little party with the family. I made her a cake and she opened presents. I'll post pics soon!

Chloe's nicknames...

Jessica did a blog about all the nicknames that Braden has so I thought I would share all the silly names we call Chloe.

1. Boo Bear
2. Boober
3. Poo head
4. Poo bear
5. Nooner
6. Noony
7. Noony head
8. Stinker
9. Clo Clo
10. Kiki
11. Barbie legs
12. lil' mama
13. munchkin
14. Moo moo
15. Boo knocker
16. little foot
Those are the ones I can think of.
But, her cousin Scotty has a couple that he calls her too...
1. Coco-that was when he couldn't say Chloe
2. Chloe Doughie- he still calls her that

Jim used to always call her by her nicknames and never her first name and I was scared she wouldn't know her real name. But, thank goodness she knows her real name is Chloe and she does answer to that name.

Happy Mother's Day!

On Sunday Chloe and Jim got up to make breakfast. They made French Toast, my favorite. Then later that day Chloe's Papa and Nunu(Jim's grandparrents) came over for dinner. Since Jim said I had the day off from cooking, he grilled steaks(pretty much the only kind of cooking he does) made baked potatoes, and salad. It was all very good.
I am so thankful for such sweet little girl and a wonderful husband who goes out of his way, to make everyday special. I love being mom and it's so nice to have a day that celebrates all the hard work that mom's do for their children! Having my own daughter makes me appreciate my mother a lot more. I love you mom!

A night in Tuscany...

One of Jim's co-workers invited us to attend a dinner party at a local resturant, downtown Madison. Ronne is Italian so the theme was A night in Tuscany. He invited a group of about 16 and we all had to make up Italian names and speak with an accent. Jim was "Francesco" and I was "Dolce." We had a lot a fun and the food was amazing! It was four courses of Italian recipes that came from Ronne's(aka Don Dino) grandmother. Once again I missed out on taking pictures because my camera is broken! I am looking to buy a new camera, does anyone have any suggestions for a good camera that won't cost me a fortune?

I sent this to Noi and she said laughed till her stomach hurt so I thought I'd share it with y'all
