Wellness checkup!

Clo had her 18 month wellness checkup yesterday. (She is closer to 19 months, but her last visit was late, so they pushed this visit back a little.) She's 34 inches and almost 24 pounds!! A little above average on height and a little below average on weight, but Dr. Deeken said she looked perfect and beautiful! Chad and I were both little beanpoles, so I'm guessing Clo will be too! She was running a lowgrade fever when we got there (she's cutting 4 teeth all at once right now!) and had one shot, which she did not enjoy, so she wasn't feeling to good last night. We pretty much just snuggled all evening til she went to bed and this morning, she seems fine! :-)

Guess that's all for now. The boys are doing the Columbia Show this weekend, so Clo and I will be there some and home some, and I'm pretty sure Shan's coming up! Love, Kate

KC Western Farm Show

We just got home from the KC Western Farm Show. The show had a great turnout and I think the guys were pretty happy with the results! Chloe did awesome. We spent all three full days at the show. She's a trooper, also she doesn't know any different. She's with her Mommy and Daddy so I guess it doesn't matter where we are, long as we're together she seems to always do really great!

Seems like we're full swing in the Trade Show Circut right now, with 3 down and 1 or 2 more to go. This weekend, it's Columbia. I'm not sure but I think Auntie Shanti might be coming up to hang with me and Clo. Enjoy the pics! Love, Kate and Fam

Daytrip with the Fam!

Yesterday afternoon Chad, Clo and I roadtripped up to Columbia to meet Grandma Dee Dee, Auntie Dori and Grandpa Gene! We ate lunch at HuHot (yum!) and shopped for Dori's prom dress. She found a keeper and looks so beautiful in it! Thanks for a great day, guys! We miss you!!! Love, Kate

Daddy's money, Mama's good looks! Hehe!

So.... here is Miss Clo getting into her Daddy's wallet at a young, brilliant age! Hehe! She was throwing around $20's like nobody's business. Notice she also has her bling bling! Then below are the pics from Clo's very first haircut!! She was a doll... only took 10 minutes and she even let Sharla curl her little locks!!! Thanks Sharla!! :-) Love, Kate
