While daddy's away...

The girls will play. Since Jim left for Ft.Irwin Chloe and I hopped into the car and drove to TX! I was planning on coming sometime at the end of May with a friend but, decided to leave the day Jim left. After some convincing from my sister, I quickly cleaned my house, packed up the car and hit the road. It took 7hrs, and only one tank of gas! Chloe did great! She watched movies and ate her snacks. She was awake for only half the drive. While we have been here Chloe celebrated her 3rd birthday! Oh how time flies! She had a surprise birthday breakfast. She and her cousins had star shaped doughnuts and strawberries. I plan on throwing her a party next month when her daddy comes home and her Nana comes to visit.
Chloe has been having so much fun with her cousins. We always enjoy our visits here! Today Chloe and Scotty went to open gym. Here are a few pics...

Monday afternoon BBQ

Yesterday was the start of Dragon week for Jim's Batallion. It is a laid back week since next week they will be going to Ft.Irwin for a whole month. Ft.Irwin is where you go train in preparation for Iraq. Chloe had a lot of fun. There was a bonce house with a slide. She also met a dog named Teddy, and she was convinced he was going home with her.


Don't you just love that face!

last weekend...

This past weekend we had pretty bad weather. It rained, and rained all weekend. Saturday we were able to take Chloe to the park for a few minutes. After we decided it was a little chilly, we got into the car and it immediately started raining so we left just in time. The rest of the weekend we stayed in. Chloe still had fun. Jim built her a fort in the living room, put on a puppet show, and we played hide and go seek. Not too many places to hide in our apartment but it was still fun. It was funny to see Chloe trying to find her daddy. She would look in places he would never fit...like the washing machine and dryer!


Inside the Fort daddy built her.It lasted a total of 3minutes before she tore it down.

I have to say I'm getting better at taking out my camera. It's so important to capture your memories.

She can wink...

I didn't know she could do this until Jim took this picture! This girl is such a handful but, I love her so much! There is never a dull moment with her! I can't believe she will be 3yrs. old next month. Too bad Jim will miss her birthday. He will training in California for a whole month. He'll just have to make sure she gets everything on her wish list! :) So far she wants a barbie jeep, dinosaurs, and flash cards. Every time when we leave the house she says "are we going to wal-mart?"
"maybe we'll buy a barbie truck!" Her great grandparents will be here next week. Maybe they'll give in!

Easter Party!

This is way late but, my Internet has been down! Easter weekend Jim's co-worker has an Easter Party. I forgot my camera but, luckily the hostess took lots of pictures. Chloe had so much fun. She got to do another egg hunt and play in a Blue's Clue's bounce house. She loved the Bounce house I may have to rent one for her birthday this year!

Chloe posing in her dress. I had to change her clothes for the egg hunt and before she went into the bounce house. It was kinda chilly, or should I say windy. It was 70 degrees that day but, with the wind it felt like 50 degrees.

I can dress myself...

Every morning when Chloe wakes up she comes into our room and climbs into bed with me. This morning she came into my room with only her underwear on. I told her to go put Clothse on and this is what she came up with. I just had to get up and take a picture.

Last night...

I went to check on Chloe before I went to sleep and this is how I found her. Completely out of her covers and backwards! I had to take a picture.
