The Princess and the Peacock

Chloe and Chris carved the pumkin ( actually Chris did all of the work). Chloe looks just like me in this picture, messy hair and all!

Our beautiful Snow White taking a bow!

The cutest peacock I've ever seen!

Happy Hallowen everybody!

Only 9 months!

Yes folks thats right, she is only 9 months. Its really funny to see peoples reactions when I tell them how old Bella is. They all look shocked, I think its because of her hair! I've had people try to make me pay for a plane ticket for her because I didnt have her birth certificate with me at the airport to prove that she was less that 2 years old. At church a few weeks ago a man saw Chris with her in the hall and said, " somebody doesnt want to go to nursery today huh?". I guess people dont think to look at her teeth or the fact that she cant talk or walk. They just see the hair of a 2 year old and thats it. She does have great hair though!

On a side note after 9 months of living she is FINALLY crawling! Its so fun! I tell her not to feel bad that it took so long to crawl, after all she did sleep thru the first 3 months of her life!

Girls

Thank heaven for ( our) little girls!

Patriotism

We were driving by a gas station today and Chloe said, "Look mom, a flag." She then proceeded to say the whole pledge of allegiance word for word. I guess they do learn a lot in preschool because I know I didn't teach that to her!

Lazy and proud of it

I was reading a blog recently ( I wont name names) and it was very inspirational to me. This woman is such a fun mom and even though I dont know her I could just tell how much she loved her children and her divine calling as a mother. This got me thinking. When Chloe was a baby I remember having a conversation with a young boy who I am related to ( again I wont name names) about my job.

Boy: So who does Chloe stay with when you go to work.

Me: I dont go to work, Chloe hangs out with me all day.

Boy: Oh so you're just lazy!

Kids say the darndest things! But truly, I love being a mother. I am so thankful for my girls and now that I am a mother I love my mother ( and mother in law) even more deeply for what they did for me and Chris! Dads are Aweome too ( dont want to leave them out!)
