Happy Valentines Day!!!

This year for Valentines Day we went to Bear Lake with my family. Before we went Christopher and I decided to go dinner and a movie. I do not think we have been to a movie for 2 years. I know that is so pathetic but when you have a baby that will not take a bottle and then you start building a house and then with everything else that has gone on there is not much time for those kind of things. I was so excited. We got tickets for the movie Valentines Day. On Friday I went to pick up the babysitter. Christopher and I left to the movie. About 20 minutes into the movie my cell phone rang at it was the babysitter. I left the movie to find out that Chloe threw up. 'O crap, we are going to have to go home and miss our movie and no dinner', I thought. I was so depressed. What do you do when you kid is throwing up and you have a 14 year old babysitter at home, you just go home. So home we go to find Chloe throwing up. Poor girl and poor babysitter! I felt so bad for both of them. Chloe felt much better by the next day. We had planned to go to Bear Lake later that afternoon. Chloe's dance class was dancing at a junior basketball game. Chloe was so sad that she could not dance but we told her that later that night we would go to Bear Lake. We had so much fun in Bear Lake. The kids have crafts to do and just played all weekend with each other. On Monday we went outside to play in the snow and snowmobile. Christopher could not do much but he did pull us around on the snowmobile. It started out as a crapy weekend but turned into a great weekend.

Christopher did a whole lot of playing pool. He had to just relax and not do much . That is very hard for him to do. I am just sooooo glad that there is a pool table and a Wii at the cabin.

Chloe, Molly, and Abby relaxing in Grandma and Grandpa's bed. These three are best buddies. When they were younger we never thought they would get along. Chloe and Molly are like water and oil and Abby is just Abby. But they play so good together. All weekend they laughed and played together. It is kind of nice to not have to worry about them.

Chloe, Molly, and Abby wearing the darling aprons my mom made for them. During Christmas me and my sisters made aprons for ourselves. My mom found matching fabric for the little girls. They were so excited to have apron just like their moms.

Chloe, Ben, and Molly making bird houses.

Chloe was so brave. She would go down these huge hills by herself. She loved it!!

The other day Chloe had her cousin Abby over to play. Chloe decided that they should play rodeo. This was a totally new concept for Abby. But Abby went along with it and they had tons of fun. Chloe then talked Abby and Tessa into watching her be in the rodeo. Chloe set up chair for them to sit in and they just sat there while Chloe tied goats and ran the barrels. Chloe is such a funny little girl. She is always making me laugh. I think we have our hand full with her. She is way to smart for her age. She picks up on things so quick that it scares me. She is such a good little girl and I just love being her mom. Oh and by the way I had preschool at my house today and she decided to put some lipstick on and kiss one of the boys. What will I ever do with her???

January Updates

Chloe loves to dance and sing. She is always making up songs to sing and dancing all around the house.Last week Chloe danced at Fremont's junior cheer clinic. I did not know if she would really like it that much. Well she LOVED it!!! She took her job as a cheerleader very serious. At practice she wanted to make sure she learned everything. She loved to shimmy and do head nods.

Chloe and her cousin Kyla at the basketball game.

Chloe with her aunt Jacalyn. I think Chloe thought it was pretty cool that her aunt is a cheerleader at Fremont.

I took Chloe to get a hair cut from her aunt Andrea. She was very worried that she was going to cut a lot. Chloe loves her long hair and so does her dad. Chloe was so excited after her hair cut because it was still long.

Chloe's favorite things:

Game- tag

treat- Rolo's

food- raspberries

best friend- Stockton

place to go- grocery store and get a kid cart

show- Dinosaur train

She also loves pink socks and spinning. Chloe is such a fun girl. She loves her sister and is quite a little mother. She goes to preschool twice a week and dance once a week. She is excited every week to go to primary and thinks her teachers are really nice.



TESSA

Tessa is getting soooo big! I just don't know where the time has gone. She is such a happy and funny little girl. I absolutely loves this stage in her life. It is so fun to see her learn and grow everyday. She loves to play with Chloe and they go in Chloe's room and shut the door and just play forever.

Tessa LOVES the bath tub. All I have to say is lets get in the tub and she is running to the bathroom trying to climb in.

This is Tessa 'cheese' face

I think this might be my new favorite picture of my baby girl. She absolutely loves this hat. Whenever she sees is I have to put it one her. She walks around with this huge smile on her face.

Major bed head

Tessa is starting to say a few words. Some of them include: mama, dada, Tessa, breakfast (I know it is not a normal first word but I swear she says it), hi and hello. She very rarely cries and LOVES her sister. She carries dolls around all day and her a Chloe have stroller races. She can't wait to see her Grandma Kay and Daddy. She really really loves her bottles ( I know I need to take them away but I don't want to. We have had way too much going to stress me out about that). Tessa has to have her pink blankie to go to sleep and likes to carry it around all day. We love you Tessa and you make us smile!!

Christopher is feeling better all of the time (that is what I am telling myself). I don't know if he really is feeling better. His neck and back hurt him so bad. We go to at least 4 doctor's or therapists a week. Each doctor has his opinion and we get so confused. Today we went to a different neurologist and she wants him to do physical therapy and massage therapy. Lucky him to have a doctor's order to get massages. We don't know where to go to get a massage. If any one has any good ideas send them our way. Christopher is looking for a new job so if anyone has any tips let us know. Thank you everyone for helping us out so much!!
