Happy Birthday Chloe!!!

My baby girl Chloe is 4!!!! She is such a little angel and I love her so much!


Here she is just born...

And 1 year...

And 2...

And 3...

And my 4 year old!!!...

Her actual birthday was the 29th. Instead of having a party for her with all of our friends and family, we took just her and Laney to a Deanna Rose. She really had a good time. We were gonna have a party, but a couple of our friends with kids were out of town that weekend and so were both of my sisters, so we decided she'd have more fun if we went somewhere. I nearly died walking around all day out in this hot humid weather, but it was still a fun day! Here's a few pictures from the farm...




Sunday we went to my mom's house for dinner and birthday cake. I felt so bad...I got this crown for Chloe without looking at it closely, and when I started taking pictures, I realized it says "Bride to be" :P She still loved it...that's all that matters right? My neice made Chloe a doll cake and she loved it! She couldn't stop looking at it. Here's the pics from her party at grandma's...




Mike's still working out of town. I think next week will be his last, thank goodness. We're planning on going to Oklahoma to see some of Mike's side of the family this weekend. We'll leave on Friday and come back Monday. Our anniversary is Sunday...7 years!!! I love him more every day! He's my everything and I couldn't imagine spending my life with someone else. I thank God every day that He brought us together!

We took the kids to T-Rex at the Legends on Saturday and they had so much fun! We've been there once before to eat, but they didn't get go into the digging area, so we let them do that while we waited for a table. Elijah was so funny...when we would try to stand him up in the sand barefoot, he would cringe and pull his legs back up. We finally just let him go and he got used to it, but he started eating the sand. :P

Fun at Crown Center...

We had a not so good 4th. I woke up with a horrible stomach flu and was sick all day. The kids got to do a few fireworks, but it ended up raining, so we didn't get to do most of them. I called the dr. at about 7 or 8 that evening, and he said I should come into labor and delivery to get some IV fluids since I wasn't keeping anything down and a dose of anti-nausea medicine. That helped, but we didn't get home till around 11:30 and Mike had to be up at 4 to go out of town the next morning. So I dropped Mike off at home, drove my mom home (she watched the kids while we went) and came home and went to bed. The next morning, I got up with Mike and Laney came into the kitchen and said her belly hurt right before throwing up all over the floor. Chloe and Elijah woke up sick too, so I had 3 sick kids and no hubby or mom (she went out of town that morning too) to help me. Ugh...we had a rough week, but we're all better now. Hopefully it stays that way!
