Our little Princess turns 3!

This last week, Chloe turned three! It was so fun to have a party for her since she doesn't remember her last birthday. She still says she is two, we're working on it. We had a lot of family over to celebrate her. She wore her princess dresses all weekend and anytime someone told her happy birthday she would repeat it back to them. I don't think she ever understood what was going on.

Chloe is such a funny little girl. She is very much a momma's girl but is starting to want Dad alot more. She still can't say her s's. Trying to understand what she is talking about is still a struggle. She says "oop yer" for computer. She loves to be held and hates having her hair done. She has an attitude side of her, she likes to scratch and bite. We're working on it, but she is determined to defend herself. We love our little "big" princess!

Chloe sees the Princesses

(I love that the girls won't take their eyes off the Princesses to look at the camera.)

This last Friday, Ryan and I took Chloe and her BFF Oaklee to see Disney Princesses on Ice. After the girls dressed in their princess best and did a little twirling, off we went.
We took the trax train down and back. It's much more exciting than the same ol' same ol' car. Trax is an interesting sort of transportation. The actual travel is not so weird, but some of the creatures that lurk on there, are a little on the hobo side. Thankfully the girls didn't notice.


The best part of the night was watching the two munchkin princesses watch all the Disney characters. They were ecstatic! They did get a little scared as they watched the "bad guys".

(I love that Chloe looks like she is about to drink the coke on that cup.)

Oaklee was pretty funny as she kept saying, "Don't eat it. Don't eat the apple," to Snow White. Chloe copied everything Oaklee said and Oaklee made sure Chloe was clapping and waving when appropriate.

She was also really offended that Ariel was immodest! My little Chloe would love to be naked at all times if she were allowed and maybe that's why she LOVES Ariel.

I loved the elephant, Abu.

I thought that the fairy Godmother coming down from the ceiling was really cool.

All the princesses dancing and the back of Oaklee's glowing head.

It was a lot of fun and I look forward to go back in the years to come. Thanks again to Brittney for watching the other two of my circus acts.

Halloween Fun

Of course, as you all know, this last weekend was Halloween. We were invited to a party with some friends the night before, which was very fun. So, Ryan and I dressed up for Friday and not Saturday. It was really nice to not have to worry about getting ourselves dressed up AND the kids. We each had our separate days. Ryan went as a dead body and I was the CSI investigating his death. I think Ryan looked pretty good (isn’t that why I married him?), but seriously, he looked like he tried to jump me in a dark alley. (My defense is to gouge out the eyes.) Anyways, we played some really fun games and enjoyed some much needed time away from our chil’ens.

The kids dressed up as: Braxton was the black Spiderman, Chloe was Minnie Mouse, and Peyton was Snow White. They all looked really cute. They loved being able to go out and get candy. Braxton learned how to scream Trick-or-Treat really loud, which was a little annoying as he practiced before he went out. We had decided to paint Braxton’s face instead of having him wear his mask, and after getting face paint all over the couch (of which I can’t get all the way off) we ended up taking the paint off his face. I think he kept the paint on for almost 45 minutes or so. So he ended up going out with his mask on anyway of which, he almost never wore. Darn kid! Ryan took the kids out first, (I believe so he could be home to watch the end of the Utah game and the Yankee game), and then I took the kids out. After I had taken Braxton to two houses he got mad at me for wanting to keep going. He just wanted to “go back home with Dad and watch the game”. That’s how you know he’s such a Daddy’s boy. I would never pass up more candy to watch sports. So there’s a small look into our Halloween.
