Little Helper




Chloe is so cute and fun.  I love watching her learn and do new things.  Chloe loves to help mommy with chores.

Dig, Dig, Dig

For mother's group we went to a museum to learn about things that have been left underground for years.  It was really fun and they were great with the kids.  After a story and seeing some artifacts the kids were able to do there own digging for treasures.  There were shells, arrowheads, pottery, and beads.  Chloe found a couple arrowheads and had a necklace made with them.  It was something so different and fun.

Frustrated

So I've had this annoying pain in my left arm/shoulder for the past 6 months and I finally went to the doctor.  As of right now they think I have Tendinitis and Muscle Spasms.  I had to take medication (which most people know I hate) and do physical therapy.  They wanted me to wear this sling as much as possible.  Well, lets just say that didn't happen to often.  It's amazing how hard it is to get things done when you can't use one of your arms.  I'm just frustrated because I'm still able to function and do everything as normal, I just have this annoying pain that is always in the background.  Hopefully it gets better.

Cornbelly's




We went up to Thanksgiving Point for Cornbelly's and we had a blast!  And the best part is we got in for $0.93.  We went with our friends the Wrights and enjoyed shooting pumpkins, a hayride, and don't forget a race through the corn maze.  Chloe had so much fun and LOVED all the slides.  There was lots to do and yummy food.  We had a great time!!

Mothers Group



Thanks to my friend again, she puts together fun activities every week for moms to bring their kids and so we can get out of the house.  One week we went to the fire station.  Chloe loved sitting in the fire truck.  She didn't want to get down and kept wanting to get back in.  We also went up the canyon to enjoy the fall and the pretty colors that are starting to show up.

Swim Class

Chloe and I have swim class two times a week and we have so much fun doing it.  Thanks to a good friend Margie who told me about the class.  She also comes with her cute little girl Brynn. Chloe love the water and has done very well in the class.  I'm always worried about having to dunk her under the water, but she's done great.  We only have two more classes so I'm a little sad, but it has been a great experience and something we have been able to do as mom and daughter.

Cast OFF

Chloe got her cast off on September 2nd and it was such a great day for us!!  We were so happy to hear that everything was well and to see her cute little legs again.  The doctors say she is doing very well and she has been on the move even faster now that the cast is gone.  Chloe also got a front loading car seat which she loves.  We had a little cast off party when we got home from the hospital and I made a cupcake cake of her cast but I didn't have time to put details on it, but what the heck it was my first attempt at one.  We feel so blessed to have Chloe in our lives and we are so happy that things are going so great with her.  She is the most mellow little girl I have ever know.  She didn't even seem to know or mind that she had this huge cast on and couldn't do a lot of things.  Especially since she is not talking, I know that cast had to be very uncomfortable or itchy, but she never complained.  She just had her cute smile on her face the whole time.
Wondering where her cast is.
Pink is of course the cast, but the white is her diaper and the brown around represents the mole skin we had to keep around the diaper area.  It's a stretch but you get the picture.
