Trip to the zoo

Connie had a dr. appt. in cinn. on wednesday and of course we went too. Afterwards, we decided since we were already a block away from the zoo, we should just go. So we did. It was a warm, beautiful day and we had lots of fun. Chloes favorite was the flamingos. She called the orangatan, a puppup, and was afraid of the goats. we rode the tram around and she waved and clapped at everyone. She stayed awake for 4 hours. She only missed the very end. We will definately go back again.

Chloe has learned where the dish towels are kept. I put that picture in too.

playing in the dirt!

We stopped to see Easton for a little while on Tuesday afternoon. Mommy sat me down in the grass and I LOVED it!! I found a clump of dirt that Easton had been hauling around in his dump truck, I played with it for several minutes. Being outside is ALOT of FUN!!

Graduation

What a busy weekend. Friday Chloe and I went with Connie to buy Graduation stuff for Jordan. Sat. we went shopping again!!! And had lots to get ready for the big day.
Sunday came and JORDAN GRADUATED!!!! WE are all so happy!!!!! It was a great day with beautiful weather and lots of family to help celebrate. Me, Carla, Chloe, Kristin,Jerod and Sierra all went to Ashleys house to congradulate her too for graduating. When we got to her house she was playing on the slip and slide!!! Remember those?? They seemed to be so much bigger when I was a kid. By the end of the night I was exhausted. I slept in till 10 this morning. Chloe got up at 10:30, then took a nap at 12:30. She was really exhausted. We took off again and went to Connie Spires hpuse for a memorial day cookout. We had a great time. We ate tons of food and Chloe wanted Connie all day, so that worked out good for me!!!! haha. Chloe went right to bed when we got home. Johnnys out and about again. Hopefully he gets home in the next couple of days.

Papaw's new truck

Wisconsin

Well, we did make it across the Mississippi. We even stopped to look. It was beautiful. We stopped in Minnisota( I think thats how you spell it)Then back over the blue bridge to LaCross Wisconsin. Thats where we ate dinner!!! Famous Dave's is where we stopped, and thy had the best BBQ. They brought a sampler platter and brought it out on a metal garbage can lid. Chloe of course refused to eat, so she had cheerios. When we got back to my moms we had some really good cake. Johnny and Ed put up Ed's ceiling fan. It was really neat. The blades were shaped like arrow heads with inprints of deer.
We left Sunday to come back home. It was a long 12 hours but Chloe once again did great.we sang and read books and played with some toys. We stopped twice to stretch. Chloe entertained herself by chewing on her toes at some point. Monday we worked in the yard, enjoying the weather,and relaxing. Today is Jerods birthday. Happy Birthday!!!

Surprise

We decided to take a trip to Wisconsin to surprise my mom for her birthday. We left on Wed., it took us 12 hours. Not bad with a baby. She was great. Kristins birthday was on the 8th. She turned 19. I can't believe it. Carla, Ted and Easton took her to white star for dinner. Carla made her an ice cream cake. I felt aweful for missing her birthday but Carla made up for it. Thanks guys. So Wed. nite we pull up in my moms driveway and shes telling Ed, someones here in a white car, She comes out on the porch and just looks, Johnny says, I heard it's someones birthday!!! She starts screaming, noway, noway!!!! It was great. Chloe made right up to her. I think she let Ed hold her twice. Yesterday we went to Wisconsin Dells. We went to walmart!!! and shopping at the outlet mall. Then we went to a restaurant called the Moose Jaw. The food was great. Chloe got to wear some antlers, and ate lots of spagetti. Today were going to see the mississippi river and over to Minnesota.
