One more inch...

...and I am going to be a in alot of trouble!

Chloe is 16 months today! Can you believe it? She is a crazier than ever. She is running, not walking, learning to climb on things, likes to ride everything (mainly Bailey), and goes nuts over fruit roll ups. She's pure joy!

Scented Glossy Magazines

If you love the Bravo reality shows as much as I do, then you will enjoy this guilty pleasure of a blog.

I have been on the hunt for fun new blogs to read.  I love them, can't get enough of them.

Hat Cake

Here is my latest attempt at cake decorating class, a 2 layered cake that we made to look like a flowery hat. I am surprised at how much work goes into these cakes, before taking this class I really thought you could just whip these things up in a day or so.

Patriot-Kids

Stumbled upon this today...  It isn't really relevant for me since Chad won't be deploying on a boat in the future (I think and hope), but someone else may find this book useful.

Jogging on a Trash Day

Notice I said jogging, not running.  You will never hear me call myself a runner because you could probably power walk faster than I jog with a stroller.  I have been jogging some mornings with Chloe in the stroller in hopes to reduce the size of my baby bearing hips. So far it isn't working.

It is my only way of getting any exercise, since Chloe is so cooperative when I drop her off at the YMCA day care (being really sarcastic here).   Even though Chloe can't talk, her look says it all... "Holy shit, your really going to leave me here? WAAAA....Waaaaa......waaaaaa"  And it doesn't stop until I pick her up and walk out of the day care room.

Jogging on a hot summer Thursday in our neighborhood leaves my nose wishing I had chosen not to run that day.  Not only do we have to dodge the trash trucks, but we have to deal with that nasty aroma the whole time.  And then there is crazy Virginia drivers with tunnel/bridge anxiety still showing it effects. 

The good thing was that I was able to see that the Jehovah's Witnesses were on their way to spread the "Word" so I conveniently put up the "Shhhh Baby Sleeping" sign just in the nick of time.  I didn't want to be "saved" yesterday!

Endoscopy Update

The nurse called and said June 4th at 1pm.  I said "no way, Jose."  I am not keeping her hungry all morning, she would be miserable!  We rescheduled for July 2nd at 8am.  

I think she had a headache

This is how Bailey decided to catch a nap on the couch last night. I think she had a headache from all of Chloe's "riding" her.  Somebody get that dog 2 aspirin!

I swear with my right hand on the bible that I don't stage any of these photos or videos. I leave my cameras available, charged, out of the case, and ready for the minute Chloe, Bailey, or Chad does something hilarious. I have to be quick and prepared since I am the family historian and photographer. Sometimes it takes me a few tries to get it on camera. I get a real kick out of it, the 3 of them keep me on my toes!
