We had our Fall Fun Party at church last night. It was great to see so many people come- there was several hundred just at the North church! Jeremy was the MC, the cheerleaders ran the concessions and performed and Chloe played for hours! There were so many game booths and inflatable toys to play on. She spent 3 hours playing games and collecting candy. Because so many people know her and love her, instead of giving her the standard 2-3 pieces per game, the people at the booths were dumping handfuls into her bucket! But, like I've said before, she's a genius! I told her she could only eat a couple pieces of candy and preferably only Tootsie Rolls or Smarties. People would dump handfuls of candy in her bucket but she would give it back. Then she would look through the box of candy and pick out 4-5 Tootsie Rolls and Smarties. We probably would have made out with more candy if she hadn't given most of it back! Even after my cheerleaders devoured half of her candy, she still brought home 2 full bucket loads. My cheerleaders took turns taking her around to the games- they had as much fun as she did. All the cheerleaders were 70's Roller Derby Girls and of course Chloe had her Princess roller skates- still a little shakey, though.
Chloe went on her first field trip last week. Remlinger Farm was the perfect place for preschoolers! They had a hay jump (where Chloe is playing in this picture) and a hay maze, a mini train, a puppet show, farm animal petting zoo and a pumpkin patch. I am so appreciative of my flexible job- I love being able to work from home so that I can be a part of days like this! It was really neat to see how Chloe interacts with her Teacher and other classmates.
She tried really hard to climb the wall, but eventually got frustrated and just walked away.
This is the maze they played in. There were tunnels to crawl through, a slide and of course hay bales to climb over!
Here are just a few pictures of our gorgeous daughter, Chloe. If you know her at all, you know she is so full of life!! Besides keeping us on our toes, she keeps us full of laughter- she is such a joy to have. I'm sure all parents think this about their children, but ours really is a joy! Although she is only 2, she has quite an imagination! She loves to tell stories- she talks nonstop- and sing. She is in preschool, which is perfect for her since she is such a people person. I could go on and on about how great I think she is, but she has some amazing qualities for such a young age. The quick rundown- She is: compassionate towards others, loving, giving, passionate, sensitive to others and her surrounding atmosphere, energetic (aren't most 2 year olds?!), silly, creative, confident, strong-willed (we like that in her most of the time) and just plain adorable!!!! She is one of the girliest girls I have ever met. Everything has to be pink. I tried forever to put her in purple but she insists on pink. We have pink clothes, shoes, nail polish, hair ribbons/barretts, bedding, toys, kid furniture, backpack and the list goes on. She already loves make-up and having her hair fixed, she has purses that she carries around. And it just wouldn't be right if her purse didn't have money in it!
I figured the best way to start this page would be to start from the very beginning. This is a picture from our wedding day. Obviously it is not your traditional picture, but it was not a traditional wedding! We were married in Uganda Africa. It turned out to be the most beautiful and perfect place to get married!
So, I thought I would try this out and see if I like it. I have a MySpace account that I really enjoy but thought this would be easier for my family to navigate. Since most of my family lives in MO, they don't always get the chance to see the great and funny things that go on in our lives on a day-to-day basis. So really, this is for them!
