I ran out of room on previous post for all of the movies so I figured instead of not posting some I would just do another post. You can't have too many movies of little ballerinas. They are just so dang cute.

Last Ballet Class of the Season
Chloe is at a wonderful Ballet School, they really seem to understand little girls and how they learn and play. I was super excited when we arrived on Friday that the parents got to sit in the classroom and watch. This was a first and thank goodness I had my camera in my purse. Double thank goodness Chloe was dressed super cute for the occasion that we didn't know about, wahooooo! I took a ton of movies but have no idea how many I can fit in a single post. I guess we will find out :)

| Love that I caught her in the air, during her jumps. |
VT - June 2011
In June my cousin Todd and his wife Katherine were up in VT for a reunion so, of course Chloe and I drove up to visit. We had a great time and as you can see also managed to find time to tour the Ben and Jerry's Factory. Yummmmy!

Local Carnival
In May Dylan had a 2wk break from school and we were lucky enough to get him for 1.5 of those weeks. Wahoooo!!!!! We sure do miss him. One day Chloe, Dylan and I decided it was time we tried out the local carnival. It was almost a success. 2 out of 3 rides went well but of course I haven't been to a carnival in a million years so I didn't remember which rides were scary. When Chloe wanted to do this giant boat swingy ride, I said yes, not remembering how frickin scary it is at the top of the ride. OMG! Chloe was screaming, crying and shaking and I thought I might just put my fingers through her arm I was holding onto her so tightly. It was NUTS!!!! Definitely a BAD BAD BAD mommy moment. After that ride we did a gentle roller coaster and she was back to loving the place. Oh my...what was I thinking. Dylan said her face on the scary ride was priceless, she we would smile and then we would go to the negative G side and it would switch to terrified. Oh well, you can't win them all. I won't make that mistake again.
Chloe's 1st Ballet Recital
Chloe had her first Ballet Recital. All the little ballerinas were so dang cute. Chloe's class danced with hearts. Don't tell Doug I told you but he taped the entire recital...in Standby MODE...AHHHHHH!!!! That is right, no video of the performance but trust me it was hilarious. Pretty much all the girls forgot the dance and did their own thing and somehow it was perfect. I had to get some pictures of Chloe in her outfit and as you can see she was not in the mood for standing and smiling for the camera, she was however in the mood to make silly faces, wahoooo. Can you blame her? I woke her up from nap to get ready for the recital.

| At the end of the performance all the dancers came out. Some of the older dancers took charge of Chloe and her buddies. The got to sit on the older girls shoulders and look out at the crowd, they had a ball and were very well behaved. |
 |
| Yay!!! Dylan was in town to see the performance. |
 |
| Our little Ballerina was tuckered out after the 3hr recital. Ok we might have been more tired than her. I think next year we might just do the 1st half of the year so we can skip the recital. 3hrs is brutal. |
VT- May 2011
In May we headed to VT for Joe's Walk to Cure Diabetes. We had a great time with Reyna and the gang. It is now habit that Chloe has her cousins read her books at night. Bridget is so grown up she even takes care of all of Chloe's bathing and bedtime routine.

| A great big game of tag/chase. The kid Chloe is chasing grabbed her flower balloon, threw it on the ground and stomped on it. Chloe not having siblings close in age, was completely bewildered by this. She looked around to see what her reaction should be. It was kind of funny. Not to worry the kid apologized and shared his balloon. |

Spring Fling
Chloe's new school had a Spring Fling. There was dancing, hula hooping, games and tons of ice cream. Chloe had a blast.

Paddling on the Lake
Doug walked down on our dock and dropped his boat in and of course Chloe hopped in with him and they went for a little trip around the lake. Have I said how much we love our new house. A DOCK, A LAKE and AWESOME NEIGHBORHOOD! Wahoooooo.
VT - April 11
Now that we live 4.5 hrs from Reyna we have gotten into the habit of driving up to VT every few weeks. Chloe loves her Joe and Bridge time and I of course love my sister time. I have to say living this close to Reyna is the icing on the cake so far as this move goes. We adore the new house and neighborhood and Chloe has cousins to play with. Wahoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 |
| We all went to a super cool museum for children (Eco Park). Here the kids are doing a Dino Dig. Notice Chloe's cousins have hooked her up with safety gear and all. So sweet. |
 |
| Cousins. |
 |
| Awesome exhibit that let the kids dig in mud inside. |

Easter 2011
Yay! Doug was home for Easter and egg decorating. I saw in a magazine a super cool way to decorate eggs with crayon shavings and boy was that a hit. As you can see below the Easter Bunny brought Chloe a bulldozer (she was absolutely sure she would bring it full story here).

Woodcock Race
Well, she is at it again. Chloe was asking for another race so I found a local race for her to do. It was at a Nature Center so we got to check out some cool birds before the race. The race was a short one and she asked if she could do a longer race next time, one that lasts all day, lol. That's my girl.

Mardi Gras
Our new neighborhood threw a party for Mardi Gras. The kids all dressed up and had a parade. Somehow I didn't understand Chloe needed to bring something to ride for the parade. Thankfully Liam a sweet neighbor boy was willing to share his ride with Chloe. She as you can see decided her halloween costume was perfect for the parade. So cute.
