87 Degrees In March...

Proud Momma!

I am such a proud Momma!!!!

Chloe now knows how to write her name, she can identify (out of order) 24/26 letters and knows the sounds that go with them, she knows 7/8 colors (who needs to know black anyway!?!?), and 5/8 shapes!!!!

She has her first ballet class this coming Monday. Ever since she started watching the cartoon "Olivia" she has been showing me her ballet skills, I thought that it was time she learned new steps!

My most favorite thing that Chloe has done in the past few weeks was when I put her down to sleep she prayed "Thank you for my family, thank you for my friends, thank you for your love that never ever ends. Thank you for making me a princess ballerina, but I really want to be a mermaid." Gotta love the thought process of a 3 year old!!!!

Kayla is running, climbing, jumping, and getting into EVERYTHING! She has been in her big girl bed for about a week- I will post pictures of that later. She HAS to wear sunglasses while we are in the car and loves, loves, loves her purses and jewelry. She loves being Mommy's helper and has better listening skills then both Cesar and Chloe. You can see how big her heart is by looking at her smiles. She is absolutely precious!!!!

Here are a few random pictures. I will post more once I get organized.

December

December was AWESOME! Kayla learned how to walk, blow kisses, and say buh bye. Chloe learned what Christmas is all about and shared it with anyone, and I mean anyone, who would listen. She would tell strangers to "Go have some cake. It's Jesus's birfday!"

From Thanksgiving weekend on, Cesar and I made it a point to do something fun for the girls, EVERY weekend. We did it on a budget, so sometimes we would end up going to look at some cool Christmas lights with coco, but they always had fun! We went to Tom's Farm and played, we went to see the Alta Loma lights, we went to a Christmas party, we went to a Winter Wonderland, and we went on a beautiful horse drawn carriage ride to see the lights downtown, perfect for my 2 princesses, oh and, Santa came to our house!!!! He brought Chloe a "big girl bike" and Kayla a pink push car with a giant frog! All 4 of us ended up with the flu Christmas morning which kind of dampened the festivities, but we still had fun! The following Sunday we went up to the snow. I will post pictures of that later. The 3 girls, me included, were ready to move anywhere there was snow. Chloe wanted to live on the side of the road, where we stopped to play in the snow, with her sleeping bag.

God still continues to bless us and we are extremely thankful for it! I LOVE being a Mommy!

I am no good at downloading pictures to the blog, they always end up in a random order, so my apologies for the following...

Christmas night in their matching pjs from Olivia!
I'm not sure how this one ended up upside down...Chloe and her sleeping bag.

October 2009

The older these two girls get, the crazier they get. Here are some of the funny things they have done. And yes, they do almost always match, I like it that way!

Even a princess when she sleeps :o)

We spent time at a pumpkin patch, participating in a Halloween Parade, and of course trick or treating. Here is the month in pictures...

Daddy and Chloe

Hmmm....

This is the pumpkin that she decided on after almost 45 minutes of looking.

It is nearly impossible to get them to both look at the camera and smile at the same time, ugh!

You give the monkey a dollar and he'll shake your hand, pretty funny!

The girls! Our annual photo in front of the sunflowers!

Getting ready for the parade!

Kayla is still "trying" to walk...

She sits REALLY well!

Ooops, she didn't get her way!

Waiting to trick -or- treat!!!!

Our Steelers cheerleader!

Our Elmo pumpkin!

Chloe's First Day of School

Chloe had her first day of school today. She is enrolled in the Tuesday / Thursday program at The Grove Preschool. To get prepared for her first day she got to go shopping for new clothes, get her hair cut, and get her toes painted. She wore an adorable little blue and white floral print dress, white salt water sandals, and had her hair pulled back into two little piggie tails. She did NOT want her picture taken...as you will see. We all went to drop her off; as soon as Cesar saw me tear up he said "let's go," so we were the first parent to leave. At noon Cesar, Kayla and myself got to the classroom just in time to hear Mrs. Shah say, "Chloe you had a great day today. Come and get a sticker." However, when we asked if she had a fun day she was quick to say, "Nope!"

On a side note, Kayla is now waving hi and bye and is walking while holding onto something! Two weeks from today she will be one!
