While we were in Albuquerque, my mom and I decided we needed some dress up photos of Chloe and here they are.  I hope you enjoy these photos as much as we did. 

Albuquerque - September 2010

Chloe cooking with Nana and Nano
In early September Chloe and I went to Albuquerque for a long weekend.  We had a great time playing with Nana, Nano, Uncle Joey and Aunt Nga.  Chloe got to have a special party at Nana's where they had a hot dog roast and made smores in the backyard.  We also spent a day playing with Uncle Joey and Aunt Nga.  We went swimming.  By "we" I mean Uncle Joey and Chloe, it was way too cold for Nga and I.  And we drove a buggy around Uncle Joey's backyard, of course in Uncle Joey style he built us a mound to power over.  It was a ton of fun. 
Swimming with Uncle Joey.


Swimming on Uncle Joey's back.  Chloe had the greatest time playing with Uncle Joey.

Driving with Uncle Joey in Uncle Joey's backyard.  She had him going forwards, backwards, over the mound, around the mound, you name it they did it.  Chloe had a great time.

Phoenix 2010

 In August Chloe and I decided we needed to go visit the Phoenix clan. We had the best time.  Cousin Colleen now has a baby so, staying at Aunt Megan and Uncle Jeff's house now means having a full time play friend in her cousin Anela (AKA Nelly), yahoooo!!!  Grandpa D and Grandma Jacquie came over for lunch one day and, Chloe had a great time coloring with Grandma Jacquie and kicking a ball with Grandpa D.  We also got to head to the lake and go out on the boat with Grandpa Art (who let Chloe drive the boat) and Grandma Meg.  It was such a relaxing fun filled weekend.

Look at this happy crew.  Love the smile on Grandma Meg.

Grandpa Art was explaining the way his sonar worked and Chloe listened so intently, I was really impressed

Chloe still paying attention, look at that look of concentration

LOL!! Cousin Angela gave Anela this flower mask and Chloe just had to try it on and pose for the camera.  Love my littlel Flower Girl.

Go Flower Girl
This is how both girls started off the day.  Drinking milk while chilling on the big dog.  It was reallly cute.


Chloe had a great time giving Anela rides on the car.  She held on really tight so Anela wouldn't slide off.  Chloe had such a blast staying with Anela.


Driving the boat. 
Digging on the beach at the lake.  The fish were biting so we kept telling her she was getting poked by sticks so she wouldn't be scared of the water but, dang when they bit it made you jump. 

Aug 10

For Doug's Birthday this year Chloe made him one heck of a cake.  You can't tell but those are big heart cupcakes glued on top with icing.  Each heart had to be a different color.  It was awesome.

Vermont July 2010

Chloe and I headed to Vermont this summer.  We had a great time.  Chloe just adores her cousins, Aunt and Uncle.  Reyna and family have moved to a new house and of course with a new house came a whole new mud pit.  OMgoodness did Chloe love the mud pit.  The kids dug and dug and filled it up with water it was great. 

One day Reyna set up the Slip-n-Slide.  Now I have to say that on a previous visit back when I Bridget was a toddler I did try to do the Slip-n-Slide with her.  You know show here how fun it was and what I learned was that somethings are just more fun/less painful when you are young and lighter, lol.  So this time Reyna and I left it to Bridget and Joe to show Chloe how things were done.  Chloe started copying Bridget who was posing before she jumped and saying things like "Queen of Horror" (yah we don't know where she got that).  The posing was hilarious.  Chloe adored the Slip-n-Slide.  I think we were both worried when she got a few helpful pushes that she might not be happy at the bottom but, Chloe being Chloe loved every minute of it.  The kids really had a great time together.

Random July Moments

This post is just a few random moments from July 2010.  I thought the above movie was hilarious.  Chloe loves being Doug's Kettle Bell. :)
This is just a cute movie of Chloe dancing before school. 

This picture is of Chloe in her 4th of July dress.  I just thought she looked adorable and of course a picture had to be taken.

Ballet

In July Chloe began taking dance classes.  She adores the classes.  At the library she is always asking me to look up ballet/dancing books for her.  Needless to say we have read many books about ballerinas.  She will have her first recital in December.
