Chloe is growing up!! 4 Months Old

Chloe just turned 4 months old! She is such a sweet blessing to have around. It's funny to watch her grow up, because she seems to be just like Sadie was, except for one thing.......SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT (we pray that is coming some day soon). She is such a sweet natured happy baby all of the time. It is very rare that she even cries and most of the time that is because she is hungry. Just his past week, she has began talking or maybe I should say jibber jabbering a lot! It is so cute, but she doesn't want to hush from 5:30 am-6:30 am. Which again was just like Sadie. Another talker is what we have, I believe! Chloe loves her mama and her paci! She is starting to play with some toys, so we'll have to see how much she progresses in the 5th month. We haven't had her doctors appointment, so I am not sure of her weight, but I am anxious to find out how big she is! Just love her!:)

Thanksgiving!

Thomas turns 30!!

Last month my sister's husband turned 30 and they had a surprise birthday party for him. That was a fun time together for food, fellowship, and laughter!:)

2011 NC State Fair

The state fair was filled with lots of excitement with three kids this year. The only day we had available to go, it rained, but we made the best of it and enjoyed every minute! The other times we were there, we were working. I must say that Sadie and Dakota really loved it, especially the chicks. Enjoy these few pictures:

Whirlwind Months!

The past few months have truly been a whirlwind, but so much has also occurred. I am going to try my best to update you the best way possible. To begin with we had an extremely successful volleyball season this year. It's the longest I have ever had to coach in one year. We actually made it until November, losing out the game before the state championship! This group of girls will always be special to my heart in so many ways. I love them and they have taught me so much about life. I truly hope that my children can be like them when they go through high school. Very respectable young ladies with lots of ambition. They'll be sorely missed!:)

Thankful!!

As I have reflected on love while reading the bible and other studies I am reminded once again of how blessed I am. Even without a home because of Hurricane Irene, the Lord still makes all these perfect for me. I love my family so much and can't wait to take on many more years together. Here are a couple more pictures!!!

8 weeks old

Sweet Chloe is eight weeks old now and really has changed a lot. I am not quite lucky enough that she is sleeping through the night, but she is still precious. She is constantly smiling and she is starting to coo-coo now. It is really cute. She just looks at you and tries so hard to talk to you, but not much comes out. Sadie and Dakota are continuing to do great with her. They are both constantly wanting to put her paci in her mouth (who knows if she will ever be able to talk). She is also starting to get into some 0-3 month clothes. At her two month check up she weighed 10lbs 4 oz. She was on the 25% for weight and 50% for height and head circumference. The doctor said that she is perfect. This is truly another reminder of how we are truly blessed to have her in our life, and health at that. Below are some pictures that I took of them this past Saturday. I thought they turned out really good!

Chloe's first day at Mrs. Sheryl's

Well, our third and hopefully final child had her first day to daycare at 7 weeks old. She was off to Mrs. Sheryl's! She of course did a great job and it was a lot harder for mommy that it was for Chloe! I was so proud of her for doing so great that first week. It made it so much easier for me to return to work!

Go Pirates!!!

The Pirates are having a horrible season, but we're always ready for game day. One game, I took Sadie and Chloe. It was actually kind of rainy, but it was still a lot of fun. Yes, Sadie did great and so did Chloe! Then, JJ and I went to the UNC game (which we got slaughtered) and we took Chloe to that one too. We are hoping that the season somehow has a better turn around from where it is at now! Come on pirates, get out of this losing streak!

Fun Family Visit!!

When Chloe was seven weeks old we also got ae visit from Nana, Papa, and Aunt Manda It was so wonderful having them here to visit and catch up! It was the usual spend tme together around home, of course the visit to Sam's for icee's for the kids and then mom, amanda, and I went shopping for a while. I know the kids enjoyed it so much and they're going to remember these moments for the rest of their life! Praise the Lord for family involvement and for teaching the importance of love to others!
