Chloe turns 8

It's hard to believe that Chloe is 8! She had a great birthday and was so excited to be baptised! She had a marathon birthday week which included dinner at Olive Garden with mom & dad and both sets of grandparents, ice skating with her two best friends and a late night dinner at Wendy's afterward, a birthday party at the park (with a pinata) with 20 of her closest friends (I'm still recovering from that one) and lastly and most important - her baptism!

We are so proud of Chloe and the beautiful girl she has grown into. She is always smiling and brings peace and happiness into our home. We sure love you, Chloe!!

I wonder where Chloe got this idea?!


Happy birthday, Mom!

Gunnar, Ivy, Hunter, Bailey, Lauryn & Chloe

We were able to take my mom to Stars on Ice for her birthday this year. She looks forward to going every year! We had the entire box to ourselves so we invited Kyle & Daena and their kids along with three of ours. (Sommer & Sydney didn't make it this year because they were busy taking a master dance class taught by Jason Celaya - which was much more fun!)

It was a fun night! Maybe we'll do it again next year!!

Renaissance Fair

I had the joy of accompanying the 6th graders this year to the Renaissance Fair. What a treat that was! I wasn't aware that I had volunteered to be a chaperone until I ran into one of the twin's teachers who thanked me for doing so. Apparently Sommer took it upon herself to fill out the papers. Genius. What a fun way to spend a day!
