Halloween

I'm finally getting around to posting my Halloween pictures. This was Chloe's first year trick-or-treating (because she was so sick with her skin peeling off of her that we didn't go last year). As you can tell from the first picture, she was not a huge fan of her costume. But if we took of her hood, she would tolerate it. Then she found out she got candy, and that is when it got really fun. We partied with the Glines family, visited G & G Mansfield, GG & GG Bergquist, and GG Mansfield, and visited the rec. center. It was so much fun. I think that I had more fun showing off Chloe, than she had trick-or-treating. She is getting even more fun the older she gets!

Girls Night In!

As many of you may already know, Chloe likes Spongebob, more like she is obsessed with him! Well, when dad works nights, Chloe hops up in dad's spot on the bed, takes the pillow, tucks in her animals and says "Spongebob?" We usually get to read stories, and go to sleep in a quiet room. But when dad is away, I have a hard time telling that face no. Have you ever tried?

One tag down, one more to go.

Winnie the Pooh

So, my little Chloe has started to recognize cartoon characters. She loves Spongebob, and Winnie the Pooh. The other day she remembered that she had this swimsuit. She took it and showed dad, well dad helped her put it on. She loved it and thought it was so great that she wouldn't let me take it off. We went to town and ran errands, and I was the only one embarrassed. Who would have thought that my not even two year old would tell me how she was going to dress.

She looks mad in this picture because she wants the camera. She doesn't smile for pictures anymore because she wants to hold it so bad.

The Big One!

Well the day finally came, and Michael got to go to his once in a lifetime elk hunt on Anthro Mountain. He left on Friday, and was so excited. There were a few casualties on the mountain that weren't elk. First it was the tire. Popped! There's an unplanned added expense to this elk hunt. Eli took Michael all over the mountain waiting to find the perfect elk. Then they found it. Michael took the first shot, and the elk remained unscathed. After five more shots, the elk had had it, and took off. So Michael had to settle for this beauty.
Michael got this one on the first shot. But then it took quite a few more bullets for this bad boy to go down. Although I don't know if every bullet hit the elk. But thanks to Eli who stood by Michael's side, and helped to load those bullets every time Michael emptied the chamber. And at three dollars a bullet, that expense also added up. So the real casualty was the checkbook.

Update

This blog goes out to my nephew Benjamin. I know how much he has been worrying, and I thought that he would like to see my cool scars. The top is just a week after the surgery, and the bottom is about a 2 1/2 weeks. It already looks really good. My dear sweet sister Melanie says that it looks like my scar is smiling at her. I said no, it is laughing at her! Anyway, I feel really good, and I get to start my radiation on Tuesday, and then I should be finished for awhile. Thanks to everyone who helped with so much and for all my family who helped babysit Chloe for a couple of days. And thank you for all your prayers, I really appreciate it! We love ya!

Chloe loves to ride with dad!

If Chloe sees her dad coming home, she wants to run out and get a ride in the truck. Sometimes dad will take her for a ride around the block and she thinks it is the coolest thing ever. Mostly she will just climb up in the truck and try to buckle herself in and grab the steering and go "Vroom, Vroom." It is so cute.
