The past couple months...

Life has been pretty crazy! I guess when my husband joined the Army that's what I signed up for! Last month Jimmy had 2weeks off for Christmas so we were able to come spend it with his family. Jimmy flew from Missourri to Dallas so we could buy a new car and drive it home to Georgia. I'm not a big fan of road trips but, it made better sense than flying with how cheap gas prices became. It only cost us $60 in gas! Not to mention it would have cost a fortune checking in all of our luggage. I don't know how I accumulated so much stuff durring my stay in Texas!
As Chloe gets older Christmas just gets better. She had so much fun making cookies for santa and checking her stocking the next morning.



Jimmy's brother John went to Vegas for New Years and he brought Chloe back a dress and bandana. John is a bit of a tree hugger and if Chloe was his child this is how he would dress her!


Jimmy had to go back to Missourri for one last week of training so on the way to the airport we stopped at Build a Bear Workshop at the Stonecrest mall. This was Chloe's second trip there. She had so much fun. She made a moose and named her Maggie. You can buy little voice recorders to put inside the stuffed animals. So Jimmy recorded a little message for her so she can hear his voice whenever she wants.

The finished product, Jimmy picked out the outfit!


She loves Maggie Moose and sleeps with her every night!

Banana shoes!

Chloe absolutely loves fairy's! When the new Tinker Bell movie came out, her nana bought it for her and she is obsessed with the movie. She wants to watch it everyday! And if you ask her what she wants Santa to bring her for Christmas she happily replies, "banana shoes." At first I had no idea what she was talking about and then she said, "like Tinker Bell!" So cute! I think she means the shoes that the other fairy's wear. They look just like elf shoes. SO I can see why she calls them banana shoes. So I am on a search to find her banana shoes! I'm hoping that it will be super easy since it's Christmas time...they gotta have elf shoes somewhere right??

Edwards baby....maybe?

So I have been reading Breaking Dawn...I'm right past the part where Jacob visits Bella at the Cullen's home. And she's pregnant! I haven't finished the book and my sister has been very gracious in not spoiling any of the books. Anyway, I don't know if she ends up having the baby or if it's a girl or boy. But, anyway my brother in law has an apple laptop, it has really neat affects on it. He took this one of Chloe on his webcam. It's kinda scary looking but, when I saw it I thought oooh vampire baby!

Vampires...

My husband is at still at training and he has a little bit of free time these days. Especially on Sundays. And you can only workout at the gym for so many hours. I told him about the Twilight series I've been reading, and I told him about the movie coming out. Anyway, I talked him into going to buy the book and he is now reading it! I just told him it was about vampires! We'll see what he thinks of it! I think he assumes that if there is going to be a movie made, then it must be good.

Ft.Leonard Wood, MO.

Chloe and I were able to go see Jim graduate BCT. We Flew into St. Louis and then had to drive 2hrs. to Ft.Leonard Wood. I am so glad I did not have to do it alone! Jim's mother, brother and grandparents met Chloe and I at the airport, and made the drive with us. Of course I was in such a rush packing and getting things together I almost forgot a camera. I didn't forget the camera but...the battery to the camera was completely dead! And I didn't have the charger! Luckily my brother in law John had his! Here is one of the pics he took. Chloe didn't want to sit next to him. I felt bad because she has always been a daddy's girl but, I think she was a little confused. His head was shaved and he lost 35lbs. This is in the lobby of our hotel after dinner. It was so nice to see my hubby, but it was a little sad because we only had one day with him. 11hrs. to be exact. He still has 7weeks of AIT. But, we will see him in Dec. for 2weeks. He has 2 weeks off for xmas!

Chloe and Madison

Noi I found this pic on mom's camera. They're in mom's room playing with Maxy. I thought it was funny cause I swear I've seen a pic of us like this somewhere!

New Pictures!

While I was down at my sister's house I took Chloe to get her picture taken. I took her to a place called Portrait Innovation's. I think they do a pretty good job and the prices are reasonable. Chloe is so hard to take pictures of because she hates sitting still, and it's almost impossible to get her to smile but, they take at least 30 pics. So I had a some good ones to choose from. Here are some of my favorites!

This is really what she does when she giggles!
