Fam's visit

I thought I'd make an appearance...after all it's my blog...Please notice the lollipop sticks hanging out of my pocket. When Chloe saw a lollipop dropped in her bag all she wanted was to eat them right then and there. I had quite a sucker collection by the time we finished trunk or treating!


Here's Deucey with Grandma and Grandpa Elison. Isn't she the cutest leopard ever??

Here's my mom, Carla, with Deucey.

Aunt Dara and Deucey doing what Deucey does best...eating. She just had her 2 month check up. She's 12 lbs 15 ozs!! Chloe was 10 lbs (barely) at her 2 month check up. Deucey's in the 95-97th %ile!! What a chunk:)

Trevor did a great job on Scarlett's blessing. It was so nice having so much family here. I'm so thankful for them and their support. We had a great time:)

Who says men can't multi-task?

Halloween

It's been a while! We had a great time at the ward's Trunk or Treat. I'll post pics later. Chloe was the cutest cow you've ever seen and Deucey was a leopard. Chloe's costume was a "big belly" costume which means that the belly and bum were padded. Soooo cute.

Trevor blessed Scarlett today. I can't believe we've just blessed our second baby. My mom, sister and her hubby, brother and his wife, and my in-laws came to participate in the blessing. It was so nice having so much family here. My mother-in-law is staying for a little over a week to hang out and have fun with us. I'm sooo looking forward to catching up on sleep!

I'll post pics later!

Who says you need the beach to play in the sand??

Here she is right before Trevor hosed her down.

Chloe and Gianna taking turns chucking wet sand at each other.

We went to a barbeque at a friend's last night. It's been fun watching Chloe's personality develop. She's just like her parents- a homebody. She's very happly playing alone and doesn't need to be around lots of other kids to have a good time. That being said, she does enjoy occasional company of a friend. Above are pictures of such a moment. Our friends have this sandbox. Chloe had a great time playing with Giana. At one point I looked over and they were taking turns throwing sand at each other. It was hilarious! Instead of stopping it I laughed and took pictures. Besides, the damage had been done. (Thankfully they didn't get sand in each other's eyes. But we'll be getting it out of Chloe's hair for the next week or so!) We let the girls get it out of their system and then they both got hosed off. I should've taken a video of that- Chloe freaked out. She didn't like that part at all.

Please note that these pics were taken from my cel phone! Thank you technology.

My little girl's 2!!

I bought these ADORABLE matching shirts at gymboree right before Deucey was born. They are so cute! I had already snapped a couple of shots before this one and poor Chloe was tired of the photo shoot. I love the look on her face. As if to say, "mom, I'm sooooo bored".

Here we are enjoying her Elmo cake. Chloe scarfed that cake. It went better than her first birthday cake. (She burned herself on the candle wax and wanted nothing more to do with it.)

We went to Chuck E. Cheese's for her birthday, which was Tuesday, Sept. 29th. She had a great time. She really enjoyed feeding the tokens into the machines. Here's her favorite ride "Monner"...that means Barney in Chloe language. I think she's trying to say Monster...

Oh, the happy little girl. I thought it would be fun to get a pic with Chuck. Nope. Notice how far away from him I had to stand and she still wouldn't even look at him. She was clinging to me for dear life the poor thing!

Little girl like helping me play skee ball. After a while she started trying to help strangers play their game. She'd run up and try to take their balls out of their lane. Kind of funny.

I can't believe she's 2. Makes me a little sad, like "where'd the time go?" She's such a fun little person. I love her personality. She has enriched our family and we are so happy to have her forever! We love you Chloe!

Speaking of bdays...I just turned 29. Holy Cow! Talk about "where'd the time go?". I guess that means I'm a grown up now...

I have an interview on Monday at the YMCA...wish me luck!!
