July 4th with Granna & Papaw Terry

Well the July 4th weekend was a wonderful weekend for us! Granna & Papaw Terry came to visit on Friday night and stayed until Tuesday morning, which was great to have so much time to enjoy each other. We watched the fireworks at downtown Norcross and Khloe' kept pointing at them the whole time and shaking her wrist as she pointed, we got such a kick out of this. Granna brought some great new toys for Khloe bear, a really cool frig magnet with lots of mix-n match animals that sings songs....Khloe' loves to sing and dance to this while she insists on pulling each magnet off and throwing on the kitchen floor! There was also a crazy legged lady bug looking toy that sings so many different songs, this last week she has played with this toy every day after school. Her face just lights up when the songs come on. She instantly stands up straight and starts dancing around with both hands in the air! It's so HILARIOUS to watch! Thanks Granna...we love our new toys!

Khloe' has started to really like her sunglasses. She pats her head and points to her glasses when she wants us to put them on her. When we put 'em on her we start saying "Hollywood, Oh Hollywood, come here" She starts laughing pretty hard. Little does she know that's actually a part of one of my favorite phrases from an all time fav. movie- "Mannequin" (sp?) ....The very flamboyant (sp?) guy is talking about doughnuts and says..."they just call to me in the middle of the night, Hollywood, Oh Hollywood come here"....LOL, I LOVE THAT PART!!! Anyways here is some new pics from the weekend and the last couple of weeks. Enjoy!





Playing chase with Daddy...she LOVES to be chased around the house!!!!


....And finally he caught her!!




Granna loves to sing with Khloe', she was having a blast! I think this picture was "Patty Cake"




Oh yet another one of Khloe's favorite past times...climbing on Mommy! :)
I still don't think she look's too much like me at all....everyone says she looks just like Paul! I have to agree, besides the eye color...she is ALL her Daddy! What do you think??
Aunt April, recognize this outfit? It's the one you got her for her Birthday! It looks great on her! Thanks again!




Here are a couple of her dancing! She is soooo funny!

Hands in the air...see what I mean? :) Too Precious!!

Well folks, that's all for this time, Thanks for stopping in and checking on us! Love Ya!

Trip to St. Augustine FL

Well, I know it has been awhile since we have posted and I apologize for that, I guess life just gets in the way & eats up all of our free time as you all know! The most important news is OUR LITTLE PEANUT IS WALKING NOW! We are soooo proud of her, she is doing so well w/her new skill of walking, and has even begun to chase Maxx around a little bit....he of course hates this but we all have a good time laughing w/Khloe when she tries to catch him. She is such a sweet girl, she loves to share her snacks w/Maxx...Graham crackers, goldfish, grapes, whatever it is, she laughs each and every time Maxx eats a snack from her hand, it really is too precious to watch! I am so torn between telling her "No" as we don't want Maxx to eat people food but yet still want to encourage her giving & sharing spirit! For now Maxx is winning this battle :)

She is getting to be so long and has really started to thin out some, I know it's nothing to worry about, a chubby baby is a healthy baby but when she is catching up in weight with her cousin Cole who is almost 2 yrs older than her, one has to be a little alarmed. When we were in Charleston w/ April & Chad & Cole she weighed 22 lbs, and Cole weighed 27 lbs...YIKES. Hopefully from the photos you guys can see how she is changing!

Oh, one funny thing I want to share. Every night at bath time, I strip Khloe down to nothing but her diaper while Paul is getting the bath water started. The last few nights I have turned my head for a second to throw her dirty clothes in the hamper and she is GONE! She runs and hides in our bedroom, on the other side of the house and laughs the whole time as we are calling her name...she's smart she knows it's bath time and doesn't want the playing time to end....how can you get mad at her?....it's HILARIOUS! When we finally catch her she just laughs and smiles like...Ha Ha I almost got away! She is such a wonderful sweet baby, I guess we've been saying that all along huh?

Ok, guys, I have added a few pics from our visit to Poppy & Grandma Linda's over Memorial Day weekend in St. Augustine, also Brock was in town for a night and have added a couple w/ her & Uncle Brock, and a few other random ones. Enjoy! Thanks for checking in on us, we can feel the love from everyone who can't wait for our updates! Love you all!

Look at how cute her curls are, so glad she's getting more hair, Finally, now she won't let me put a bow or headband on her at ALL, she quickly pulls them off!


Don't know if you can see her huge crocodile tears as we were leaving Poppy & Grandma's she got really upset. I think her and Grandma Linda became fast buddies!

She sure does love her Poppy!


Check out her new St. Augustine sun hat! I know it does not match her suit but it's so darn cute! :)


Givin' her uncle Brock some smooches! She had such a good time with Brock, so glad he had a few free hours to spend w/Khloe and us on his quick business trip!





Look at her sweet Angelic face! Trying to squeeze in a few more minutes of play time after her bath!

PRECIOUS!!



Khloe' and I after my run one night! She is really a mama's girl! :)

Khloe' and Aanya on a play date this weekend! It's so sweet to see the girls just stare at each other and watch what the other one is doing! Very precious!

This is Khloe's new beloved Teddy Bear Grandma Linda bought her while we were in FL. Funny story: I was pushing her around in her little umbrella stroller in the gift shop and I looked down and she had pulled this teddy bear off the shelf and was hugging him...Linda had to buy it for her! Ever since then she drags him around everywhere!



That's all for now guys! Hope you enjoyed!

Short vacation to Charleston, SC

Well, I know it has been a little while since we have updated the blog, but of course like everyone else we have been very busy. We finished our 4 weeks of swimming class on May 4th and Khloe' had a ball. To be honest she looked forward to the toy bag being brought out and all the kids being able to play with the water toys the most. She would see the bag laying on the side of the pool and not take her eyes off of it...LOL!

We were able to join Chad , April & Cole in Charleston for a few days over the Mother's Day weekend and we had such a great time together. The kids loved playing on the beach and have the daddy's build sand castles just to watch Cole stomp on them and destroy them...he LOVED this! The first day Khloe' of course tried to eat the sand but by the end of the day she realized it didn't taste so good & didn't try it again :) She would crawl around the sand like a crab, I don't think she wanted her knees to touch the sand or something but it was really cute to see her little bottom in the air all the time! Overall it was a great few days to be able to spend some good time with family and for me to soak up some "Cole time" He is so cute and so sweet & much smarter than his parents think! One day he woke up from his nap and came to sit on the couch by April & I and said, "Mommy, I'm a good listener now" Ha, ha. Apparently before his nap he was NOT being a good listener! I adore him no matter what! Thanks April & Chad for letting us join you guys for a few days, We LOVED it!

Well that's about it for now! Here are a few pics we took while down in Charleston, Enjoy! Love you guys!
