Cloe's bday Extravaganza!

Cloe's Birthday, we had our traditional waffles and ice cream for dinner and left over cupcakes from the ones cloe brought to school.

She even got to blow out a candle.

Kota signed the card from her and poor cloe thought it was too kota. whoops!

The cupcakes I spent hours making for cloe to take to school I think they turned out nice.

Cloe's saturday celebration, cloe talked me into having some friends over for jackolantern's and cake and ice cream. She was very specific about how she wanted her cake and when I finished she said,"You did it just like I wanted!"

I loved her faces of her poening hte gifts it was priceless!

So Cloe's birthday felt like an extravaganza this year becuse it felt like we celebrated it awhile. We had our family party on Saturday when brent was home and then I saved a gift for her birthday and we made cupcakes for her to take to school and let her blow out another candle on her actual birthday so it was a fun time for her. Saturday we went swimming and got some floating pumpkins for her birthday and she wanted mcdonalds for her dinner and we carved pumpkins and had cake and ice cream and gifts. It was a fun day!

Casper

Brent is about halfway through the academy! We met in casper and we surprised brent with a hotel room and my mom watched the girls for a night and we all went swimming. Brent and I had a really nice date. Typical Dinner and a movie and it was nice not to have to worry about getting back to a babysitter and we also wondered the mall and got some cute date pictures it was a lot of fun!

TeamWork!

The Girls Played soccer this year and they had a lot of fun! Kota was so excited that she was old enough this year. She did a great job was aggresive and scored some goals during practice scrimmages and even one in the game, course I didn't have the heart to tell her that she scored it for the other team though. :)

Cloe and Kota are in the blue jersey's with the pink shirts.

Cloe twirling her hair which she did a lot of when it first started but she really got into playing this year. And really trying hard. Which is what her teacher said about her at teacher conferences too. She does always try very hard to get things right.

One day Cloe and I were talking about work. She said, "Dad has to go to work," I said, "Yes." She said, "You have to go to work." I said, "Yeah sometimes." She Said," Well I don't have to go to work." I said, "Well yes but you work sometimes too like when you clean your room and help mom with the chores." Cloe Said, "Mom that's not Work, That's TeamWork!"

Family Fun!

Brent has been gone to the police Academy and he won't be done until the end of November but he gets to come home on the weekends besides work and rest we went to thermopolis on labor day it was a lot of fun! My mom met us there and the girls loved the waterslides. They went up and down that slide about a million times Paige was even doing it by herself. It was a great thing to do with the family and to spend more time with Brent before he had to go back to the academy. It was a blast. Then we went out for pizza and said goodbye to Dad.

The next weekend we had a fun Saturday visit from Grandma Dot and Pop. Grandma Dot Painted their faces, we went to Grandparents Day at the Rec center where the kids got to do crafts, games, bubbles, ice cream and candy, and the Bounce House. The kids had a great time and so did grandma and grandpa, Paige sure did notice though if no one was watching her go down the slide. And then we came home for a rest and watched Tangled together, it was a nice day!

Cloe's First Day of Kindergarden

Here she is on her first day! It was very exciting! I did cry incase anyone is wondering. I decided to take the other girls on a bike ride for doughnuts and to the park, they were sad too. When we went a picked up Cloe from school I was expecting her to have had a great day. Well I think her expectations didn't live up to her day. She didn't get to have recess with a friend that she thought or make new friends like she thought. Plus she heard about or doughnut outing and she said, "I didn't get to do anything that Fun!"

Cloe and her teacher Mrs. Bowe at the open house.

Cloe and Paige in the library at the open house.

Since then she is loving school and making new friends I can't keep up with all the names she tells me she been playing with at school. She seems to be having fun her favorite thing is swimming which they have been doing for the last couple weeks. She is a little grouchy some days after school but it's getting better. I'm excited she's learning new things she sight read her first book and tells me all the math things they are doing. It's neat watching her grow into the fun smart beautiful girl.

How the summer Ended...

We moved we painted and fixed the house and Brent's parents have also been coming pu and working on it I will have to post some after pics...this was outside work in progress.

We had a potluck night at our house when we moved it was fun to have everyone over to see the new house. This is paige holding my friend Cassie's new baby at the potluck.

The girls love the yard without grass I'll be excited when they get to play on the grass, it was kind of funny but I was a bit perturbed about the nice dresses.

The girls got a swingset this summer which they loe and play on a lot but when they moved they found a new love grandma nessi asked Kota if she still played on the swingset and she said "no we have a tree now." So they have been climbing the tree outside the house and.....

Cloe fell out of the tree and busted the two front bottom teeth out of her mouth, she came inside with blood dripping out of her mouth and said look mom very nonchalantly and then I started crying, we took her to the dentist and it was a clean break and it was all good cause after we searched and found her teeth in the dirt the tooth fairy came.

Casey Camping in the Big Horns. It was a lot of fun to spend time with brent's family. Hiked, camp fire, fishing, and visiting.

Baby broden's baby blessing, was also this summer, brent's whole family was there and all the grand kids it was a nice blessing and fun to see everyone.

The girls and their cousins. (thanks to family's blogs for letting get some pics, :)

Brent and all his brothers. It's always fun to see them together. Brent got takled by them all when we walked in.

Curt's birthday was on a weekend that he was up working on the house. So I made him golfing cupcakes since he had to work rather than golf.

I really wish I had a picture but I was in charge so I forgot all about pictures and was focused more on the girls and the work. But Cloe and my Ballet/Jazz Dance class this summer danced in the big horn county fair parade this year. The theme was cowboy boots and country roots. So we wore cowboy boots and bandanas and danced to these boots are made for walking. The girls did a great job, cloe looked so cute. Kota and Paige rode in the back of the truck and passed out candy, Brent drove the truck and helped me with the music, I had helpers with a banner and fliers for advertising and best of all we won second place. :) It was a good day!

Holly came and visited us this summer it was fun to have her come and see our house and the girls and visit. Brent watched the girls one night and we also met in Cody and watched Harry Potter it was a lot of fun!

We've made some new friends this summer and they had a movie night they projected a movie, the sandlot, out in their backyard it was a lot of fun. Brent came and saved the day with some sound after the men cut a cord ooops!

Then Summer ended and Brent left to the Police academy for three months and Cloe started kindergarden.

Fourth fun!

Okay we had a great fourth of July, fireworks, firetrucks, and fun! Kota almost got shoved under the firetruck I was glad I was there to save her! Mom to the rescue! Cloe got soaked in the water balloon fight and was devastated so we took her home for new clothes, whew Mom to the rescue! I found out later that Paige burnt her finger on a sparkler. Sorry Paige I wasn't to the rescue I guess those cuddles at the fireworks made up for it later. Boom Boom went the fireworks and paige would grab on soooo tight and hide her face...whew Mom to the rescue!
