70% off

We went to the JC Penney's 70% off sale this evening. I didn't even know it was going on but it was WONDERFUL! Chloe got new jammies, which she is sporting in these pics, and Trevor got new shorts and a shirt. "It's too hot here to wear jeans," he says. I would have loved to buy some exercise clothes or some kind of clothes for myself but maybe next year when I'm not HUGE and pregnant!

Update

I had a weekly check-up today. I'm really excited because I'm 1 cm dilated! This is HUGE for me. With Chloe I was induced and I didn't do anything on my own, everything was drug-induced. I was feeling some pressure last night and the midwife said that's what dilated my cervix. My blood pressure's been great the whole pregnancy. I'm thrilled that it looks like I'll be going into labor on my own!

On a side-note: Chloe has 2 blankets made by grandma Alice. She loves them, absolutely loves them and is quite possessive of them. If anyone, me or Trevor or one of her friends, touches them she isn't having it. She calls her blanket "mimi". So cute!!

Fun Saturday, first haircut and uma padaria!

Little girl was so tired on Sunday. Church starts at 1pm so she goes down earlier for her nap and usually doesn't fall asleep for about an hour. It was really quiet in her room for over an hour and when it was time to wake her up to get ready I slowly opened the door. The bed was empty so I wondered where she'd fallen asleep. Here she is all balled up and snoozing. I'm sure her neck was sore when she woke up!

We went to the stake's Pioneer Day activity on Saturday. Trevor took Chloe for a ride in one of the handcarts that was there. He started running around with her and she loved it! The faster he went the more other kids, big kids, wanted to ride too. He must have had about 8 kids in there after a while. It was HOT that day! Probably close to 100 and very humid as always. Poor Trevor, he was drenched!

This last pic is great. She's actually smiling! So cute. I took her to Walmart to get her very first hair cut. There's a closeup and somewhat of a back shot of her new do! Soooo cute!!

We were coming home from Saturday's activity and Trevor noticed a sign in Portuguese and he asked me what it meant. It was a Brazilian bakery (padaria brasileira)!! I was so excited! Chloe and I went there this morning. I think it is my new favorite place. There are quite a few Brazilian stores around here. Amo Brasil!

Isle of Palms, SC

Chloe had a great time today! She loved playing in the sand. There was this little tidal pool that served as a great kiddie pool. She enjoyed filling up her cup and bucket and pouring water all over herself and us.

I'm so happy Trevor got a picture of me 8 months pregnant, in a bathing suit noless! Oh well, I posted it so those who are curious now know just how big my belly is! It was a fun couple of hours at the beach. The weather was nice, not too hot. It was pretty windy, as you can hear in the video clip.

We took Chloe to the Outer Banks in North Carolina last summer, so this wasn't her first trip to the beach. However, she enjoyed today's trip MUCH more than last year's. The waves still freaked her out a little, but she got in the water.

Sassafras and the cutest tricycle ever

When we got home from church on Sunday I quickly changed and started working on dinner. Chloe helped herself to my closet and came out with my heels on. I like how her hand's on the wall. She's always posing for something. So sassy, that's why I call her sassafras. She is also in her favorite shirt: John Cena (thank you Aunt Dara)!

Trevor and I went to Babies R Us to look at double strollers. I just wanted to check out what they had. Did we leave with a stroller? Nope, but we left with a cute pink and purple tricycle. While I was looking at the strollers and asking the associate some questions, Trevor entertained little girl by looking in the toy section. She was just too cute on this thing to resist, so we caved and bought it. She is still trying to figure out how to pedal it. This is the best shot we could get of her attempting to pedal her toy.
