Tea Party

Chloe and I had a fun little tea party today
while Caleb was taking a nap. I've been
pretty fond of tea for awhille now...in Rochester
I remember associating tea with bible study,
yummy treats, and awesome friends...and now
I can "drink" tea with my little girl...I LOVE it!!
As you can tell she is quite the little pretender!!


Here she is blowing on the tea because it's "too
hot."

Big Kids

Caleb turned 4months this past week! He is

doing well. We went to the doctor for his well child

and he weighed 17 lbs 10 oz and was 26 inches long!

He is in the 90th percentile for kids his age!!!

Chloe had her 2 year check up and she was 32 lbs

and 3 feet tall! She was in the 95th percentile for

kids her age...we grow them big around here I

guess!!!

Another piece of news that I am REALLY

excited about....Chloe went potty on the potty

chair for the first time this past week! Of course

ever since then there have been many false

alarms but this is a start!!! If anyone has any

potty training advice please share!!!

Easter Fun

We had a very fun Easter...I can't believe
that it was already a week ago....time goes
by so fast!!! Here are a few pictures
from our day. This is a picture of Chloe's
3rd Easter egg hunt so she was getting
pretty good by this point:)

It's hard to get Chloe to stand still

for a picture!!!

Fun in our chairs

Today has been one of those days...you know the kind...
both kids woke up WAY too early and have been
super cranky....Crying, time-outs, and laundry abound...
but in the midst of the chaos there are so many reasons
to be thankful, laugh, and smile. I mean look
at this little handsome man smiling
in his bumbo chair!

Chloe cracked me up today...she has been looking

at baby pics of my sister and I at my mom's

house and gave me this look in her highchair

and said "Tots" (Her word for Tasha)...this is the

same exact faceTasha made in her highchair when

she was Chloe's age (and that was in the pics Chloe

has been looking at) I was laughing pretty hard!!!

Chloe turns 2!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

I am SO BEHIND lately in everything I do...so it just figures that

I'm 3 weeks late in posting about Chloe's Birthday!! Anyways, thanks

to everyone who made Chloe's day special! She had a blast at her birthday

party and loved all the excitement! As you can see she had a lot of friends

helping her with gifts and was presented a giant chocolate chip cookie

made by Aunt Tasha and an Elmo cake (made by me which was suprisingly

quite fun!!!) She also really enjoyed the presents and cards that

she received in the mail so again THANK YOU!

Finally getting better???

As many of you know Chloe has been sick for
2 weeks now...she is currently on antibiotics
and doing a little bit better so we're hoping
she is on the mend! She has looked like this
alot in the past 2 weeks (thumb in her mouth)
but she has also been doing some pretty funny
stuff that I thought I'd post...here are a few recent
"Chloeisms"...

*She audibly passes gas, then she says "Toot",
then she tries to blame it on me or Kyle!!!
*She calls water "ice"...
*She now has a word for Grandma and it is
"Munga"...interesting...
*She looks through magazines and ads and finds
people that she thinks she knows...our friend Brent
is in the Babies R Us ad and the Step 2
Toy Catalog...when I try to tell her that it is not
Brent she argues with me that it is...
*"Ing" means she has a wet or dirty diaper...
*She is a popcorn prayer...when we are praying
before a meal she incessantly says people that
she would like to pray for...oh, and also things
like "puppy" and "cookies"...she does not let it
go until they are properly interceded for!!!

Aren't kids hilarious?!?

Chloe and the Boys

Thanks to Kelly, Pete, and Noah for making
the trip to visit us this past weekend! Here is
Pete and Noah and the picture below is Kelly
holding Caleb.

All of the sudden Chloe is picking
up words at an amazing rate and loves saying
Noah, Pete, Kelly (in that order by the way!!).
Her other new thing is that she has learned
how to pray (well, sort of) and she loves it!
She could teach us all a lesson as she is
constantly praying for people!!! (of course
she also wants to pray for her puppy and
for cookies but what can we expect from
an almost 2 year old?!?)

One more thing that is occupying her time...
the potty chair...yes, she wants to sit on it
constantly...and no she doesn't actually
do anything on it besides sit there and smile...
I guess it's a start!!

Caleb turned 2 months this week! At his appt

he weighed 14 pounds 2oz and was 24 1/2 in.

long!

Chloe has found a little boyfriend to take rides

with her in her car!!! Thanks Malik for coming

to play with us!!

That's all for now! I hope you enjoy the pictures!
