later that night

we sang happy birthday again and blew out birthday candles

it was so cute, chloe blew so hard from far away cuz it's "hot"

but daddy's arms make her she feel safe

she loves her mr. nutkin from papa and nana "especially sense she always acts out how a squirrel eats....it's the cutest thing......she brings her fingers to her mouth and makes a eating sound"

after dinner and cake we went to visit santa's reindeer

after papa and nana treated us all to yummy sundaes and hot chocolate from the deli we made our way to see the drive thru christmas lights.....that was the best way to do it for chloe, sydney and hopey and who am i kidding we adults loved being in a toasty car too.

we had a blast celebrating a wonderful day!!!! happy birthday lovey, you are so amazing we love you so much!!!

winter fun!

she put her boot in front of the camera and said stop

i love how she's holding on to the steering wheel

it's a fun to watch her get around with that much padding. i got her this hat for her because it reminds of my hat when i was a little girl

of course the little ham wanted her boots off and her "blue shoooes" on

swinging her by the straps ( right after this picture the snaps on her overalls snapped and she fell on her tummy...it was so funny, tanner was laughing hard!)

ya she's the funnest gal!

she loves to boulder!!

climbing not so much.....

she's over it pretty quick

it's the harness, she doesn't like being restricted but she'll let us swing her

but bouldering she could do for hours and when she falls she laughs so hard (the flooring is padded) look out here comes the next katie brown.

hungry ducks

this was a fun night...we took a walk to go feed the ducks, while daddy gave the family home evening lesson on the importants on the role of a mother and father by president uchtdorf.

in my opinion it's much easier to really pay attention to family home evening while walking, it gets your thinking juices going.

bathtime with our little singing bird!!!

how her mornings start

first thing i hear in the morning coming from down the hallway is...."mommy (in the sweetest high voice, i just love how she says mommy. which those who know chloe, she's always has had a low voice) i want shoes, i want tutu!" so i put on either her ballet slippers or her blue princess shoes and the tutu sydney gave her from halloween.

then she's ready for the most important meal

a lot of singing "LA, LA, LA"

and twirlling

and accesorizing

iv never seen her smile like this it cracks me up it doesn't even look like her, she's our little goof ball!

then of course her classic gremlin smirk

fun fall

this is the park we take you to....you love the slide and you always say mountain like a true utahn

my cute man

it was so fun to climb with huners she loves it!!!

unca scotty.....totally epic red pointing

this little girlie loves the dirt

lets just say she's pretty balanced

while i was balaying daddy, aunt teeners was styling chloe's hair

chloe loves the rock

she's so funny, she insisted on having my sweater over her head

ready to scale the rock wall with her chalk bag

honestly chelsey and chloe were all over the place i think they did more things then all of us....you crack me up teen!!

of course chloe had to be like hers aunt

our true outdoorsy girl!

these two make each other laugh a lot

and hard!!

there's this beautiful walk i take chloe on all the time. it's a fun time for we girls to chit chat and admire the beauty

right across this river there's horsey's which is chloe's fav.

fall wouldn't be the same without going to the pumpkin patch

chloe loved picking out her pumpkin or should i say pumpkins

we got to see lots of bunnies, goats and chickens

hopey wanted to chill in chloes stroller and that was fine by her, she would rather hitch a ride rambo style.

chloes and i went on a nature walk, to gather fall leaves for her art project. she made leaf printed cards for her grandparents and great grandparents

she gets so into it when we do art projects, it's so fun to watch.

im so proud of her, she made beautiful happy fall cards!

we had to have more fun at gardener village

i wish you could hear her cracking up here, i love that she thinks she's hilarious

the leaves out her window

great grandma lewis gave these to chloe, she had fun putting them up but i think they spooked her a little

she loved raking the leaves with daddy and papa

she even loved it more when she got to play in them the next day

it was so nice having a sunny halloween day!

chloe and i even got some hammick time and enjoyed the veiw above

my darling friend britnee let us use this adorable piggy costume. it couldn't have been more perfect! thank you britnee we loved it!!!

chloe did awesome at trick or treating, she got the hang of it after she saw all you had to do was knock and say trick or treat!!

later that night the cousins came over. sydney was dressed as a fairy and look who ending up wearing her wings and tutu.

me with grandma grace, i love her!!! halloween wouldn't be complete without "THE WITCHES NIGHT OUT" thrown by darling lisa. every year it gets bigger, i think there were 100 witch hats, it was so fun!!

lisa and her beautiful gils, dano and heather

me and my best childhood friend dano

life long b.f.f.

THANK YOU LISA!!! you sure know how to get all the witches on the dance floor!!! i look forward to this every year!!!! keep on cackelin

the next morn chloe had a sugar hangover but was still in the halloween spirit

we love museums
