Thursday

Chloe helping her dad with the water line to the frig.

Chloe took a peek at Brody while he was sleeping. Annie, Sara and Linda Mac brought Chloe a B-day present. Chelsea came over with the cutest puppy, she rescued it and Kristin of course said bring it here. We did find a home for it that night. Chloe and Kristin both loved it.

tuesday

kristin has to have gallbladder surgery on mon. aug 4. the up side is that she has the whole month of aug. off of work. I think she will be bored.
Chloe had her 1 year pictures done. They'll be in, in a week. They are beautiful.
We went to white Star for lunch today. We ate with Linda Mac, Annie and Sara, Easton and Carla.
I've been babysitting for a while and it is going pretty well. Chloe of course is a little jealous. But she is getting better. I think being around other kids will be very good for her.

Birthday Party

We had lots of family and friends to help us celebrate. Chloe had a great time tearing into her cake. She was so worn out she had to take a nap right in the middle of it all! Thanks again everyone for comming out and making it a day to remember.

Monday July 21

I can't upload pictures right now, Kristin is sleeping in the room that has the computer that we do that with. She worked another midnite last nite. Since I'm NOT consistant with postings I'll use this time to update. In the little time it took me to get the computer up and running Chloe chewed on my end table and has black paint chips all over her mouth. Mom, come back, I need help!!!
After Johnny got back from his 16 day trip, Chloe took off walking. She is doing really good. She squats down in the middle of the floor and stands right back up. She likes to pick up as much as her little hands can hold and walk and carry things. My mom and step dad came to visit to help us celebrate Chloes first birthday. We went to Frishes Friday nite and while I was feeding chloe, she decided to stick her whole hand into my mashed potatoes and squish her hand all around. Pretty gross. Then my mom was feeding her cottage cheese. In went her hand!!!! Shes so fast, you can't catch her in time. Anyway, she loved it!!! We went to walmart afterwards to get the rest of her party stuff so we would have less to do the day of the party. Good thing we did because Sat. was chaos. We went and got balloons, the cake and decorated for the party. It took us all day. We had alot of balloons. While Kristin was putting them together, Chloe was crying, she was scared to death of them. We had to take all of them and put them in her room and shut the door so she couldn't see them. Then sneak them outside to the tables. It felt like it was 120 degrees outside. We should of had the party at 8 instead of 4. wE HAD A WONDERFUL TURNOUT. Over 40 people. Thank you to every one who came to help us Celebrate!!! And thanks to everyone who cooked and helped clean up!!! And thanks Mom for putting up with me under pressure. Neither of us do well when were stressed. I can definately say I get that from my mom. Chloe had a great time tearing her cake apart. Shes not a big food eater so I think she tasted the cake maybe 3 times. She did enjoy feeding other people. She had so many presents. She didn't care about opening them, but she has enjoyed playing with them all. Their still all in the middle of the living room floor. She didn't get any duplicate presents!!! She did get lots of babies and loves them all. Sunday she took 3 naps. Which is unheard of. I'm lucky if she takes 2.
We finally got our refrigerator yesterday after 6 weeks. We had ordered 1 and then they didn't know when it would come in. So they offered us a pick of 2 others. It finally came in. We love it.
Tomorrow Kristin sees a surgeon and finds out when she will get her gallbladder out!!!!
Also Johnnys nephew in law has a brother that is 12 or 13 and was in a motorcycle accident with his grandpa on fri. .They were hit by a drunk driver. The grandpa was killed, and Christopher is in critical condition. The grandpas visitation is tomorrow. PLEASE pray for the family..

Iwill post pics of the party this evening.

Friday, July 18

Yesterday was Chloes first birthday. Her aunt Connie gave her a popcicle. She really did love it. When it fell, she wasn't happy. Her nanny and grandpop Ed came to visit for the big day all the way from Wisconsin. She has a big party planned for Sat. Hopefully all turns out well. Shes already got alot of presents.,but hasn't actually opened any with paper. This will be interesting!!!

4th of July night

There were some of us who were smarter than the others and sat on our porch and waited for the fireworks! They finally went off after everyone left!

Chloe enjoyed all of the kids coming in after they got back from the lake. She probably wondered where they all come from!! Haley really took a liking to her!

Wednesday the 2nd

We had a great time at church last nite. We had lots of food and a 4th of July celebration with fireworks. Chloe wasn't sure if she liked them. She watched them through a doorway.
Johnny is still stuck out in a far away land and misses the whole thing again!!!
Chloe is trying to walk. she took a few steps. She is climbing on everything. She also tries to carry everything.

July 2nd at Church!!!!
