    Fall has been a blast! I hope you all have had many an opportunity to take advantage of this fantastic fall weather we've been enjoying...

    As we move into the Thanksgiving season, we have so much to be thankful for. Please count yourselves among the blessings we thank God for. May He be near to you and your families this holiday season. It's all about Him, you know... :) Much love to you all!

  • The Bi-Annual Update...

    I finally got a decent camera and am trying my hand at learning photography. I use the term "learning" very loosely, as I don't even have a manual for the camera. Just so you have your expectations aligned accordingly.

    But seriously... Could my subject be any cuter? I can't take it. I must kiss her 50 times a day. And I can't wait to see her every morning. We are having a blast.

  • Spring 09... Chloe's 1st Birthday, 1st Easter, 1st trip to the park and other adventures...

    may update 11

    Here she is on the way to the cake. Her first taste. Yes, I waited a full year before letting her have sugar.

    may update 10

    She savored it. She's definitely her momma's daughter. We heart cake.

    may update 9

    After about 3 minutes of the previous pose, she finally came up for air.


    may update 8

    Great Grandma and Great Grandpa bought her her first big wheel. She loves it!

    may update 7

    Granny M and Grandpa Dale got her this sweet John Deere wagon. She's been riding around in it in the house. We don't want to get it dirty... Soon enough we'll break it in. Probably this weekend.

    may update 4

    Grandma Ketchum and I took Chloe to the park for the first time. We have this incredible park right in Linden. I'm guessing we'll be spending a lot of time there this summer.


    may update 3

    She loved the swing!

    may update 5

    This was Easter morning. That's definitely a bonus of an April birthday. We can recycle the party dress for an Easter dress!

    may update 6

    Grandma Ketchum bought her a bunny suit! She didn't mind wearing it at all. So cute!

    may update 12

    She helped daddy assemble a home for her books. She makes an excellent assistant.

    may update 13

    She's testing the quality. Yep. That oughtta hold some books.


    may update 1

    She absolutely loves her bath. She's graduated to the real tub. She still opens her mouth all the way for splashfest. Every time.

    may update 2

    I think she's going to love the pool!

    There you have it! We're alive and well. Chloe is walking, make that running everywhere. She likes bananas, remote controls and long walks in the park.... She's trying to talk, and Lord knows when she figures that out, we're done for. She still doesn't have much hair. It's getting thicker in the back, but the front is going to be awhile. I'm afraid we may have a baby mullet in our near future..

    I'll try to update more often, but no promises. To say I have my hands full is a but of an understatement! Much love to you all!

  • What we've been up to...

    Not much. Growing teeth and refusing to follow along with the routine. All in a days work, for little Miss Chloe. The take away lessons?

    1. I can rest when I'm dead.
    2. She will eventually have all her teeth.
    3. It's a choice to enjoy the madness in the meantime. I choose to! :)


    chloe with the golf balls

    Forgive me for the Halloween outfit in February. I refuse to use an outfit on one occasion. She's running out of jammies that fit! All that aside, is there anyone cuter? I love it!!!

    chloe and daddy

    Her and daddy have been having all kinds of fun.

    chloe watchin golf

    There's a lot of golf involved.

    chloe really excited about golf

    She looks a bit like a maniac here, but she was just having a really fun time with daddy!

    chloe picking up golf balls

    They devised a plan whereby he doesn't have to bend over to pick up the golf ball.

    chloe picking up golf balls 2

    It seems to work pretty well.

    chloe with her tooth

    Of course, any time there is a ball involved, you have Sidney's undivided attention. Also - note the adorable little tooth!


    chloe with the off the shoulder nighty

    Pulling a Houdini with her nighty. Or she was trying to fancy it up for the Oscars. A little off the shoulder number...

    chloe eating her sock

    This is a less formal occasion. She's obsessed with her socks. I went in to get her the other day when it became evident that she wasn't going to cooperate with the nap... She had flung her socks overboard. They were right next to the crib.

    chloe with grandpa weir

    Grandpa came to visit and they had lots of fun!

    chloe with her winter coat on

    Here she is in the cutest little ensemble ever. She gets lots of compliments whenever we're out.

    chloe with her first Valentine

    Granny M brought her her first Valentine. She loved it!

    chloe standing with her jungle

    And look at this big girl! She will be walking before we know it. I'm not ready.

    sidney keeping warm

    As always, we can't forget about them dogs. They are both slowing down considerably. Sydney loves to warm herself by the stove. Once she laid completely on the bricks with her head touching the leg of the stove. Honestly, she's going to set herself on fire one of these days...

    kiley digging a hole to china

    And Kiley... Well, she thought it would be a great idea to dig a hole to China. Until she realized she would get dunked in a bucket of water. Then she realized it was, at best, a mediocre idea.

    The fam again.

    Chloe has been sick and a little high maintenance lately...  I have pictures on my camera, but I haven't had two seconds to upload them, so I figured I should get these up in the mean time.

    I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. We sure did.  One of these years, I'll actually mail cards out again.  Thank you to all of you who sent cards!  It's wonderful to hear from you!

    I pray that this year is filled with hope, love and joy!

    Much love!

About Me

  • I'm a mommy, but that's not all... It definitely takes up most of my time these days, but I really don't want it to define me. I am also a wife, a daughter, a sister and a friend. I love people. I really love God. He's my BFF. I don't say that because it's cute, I say it because it's true. I pray that it always is. This journey called life is pointless with out Him, if you're asking me. He is molding me into the person that He created me to be and that person is pretty cool, if I do say so... Perfect? Ah - no. I just want to be like Jesus. I realize everyday how much work it will take, but I AM up for the challenge. I have a long way to go and long journey is always more fun with friends. Want to join me? I can't promise it will be easy - but I know it won't be boring!
