Let Freedom Ring! It's Independence Day!!

A baby this beautiful must be an angel!

Hey all! So.... Chloe is beautiful and I would certainly say that even if she weren't my own. These pics are simply gorgeous. God has richly blessed us by entrusting us to raise His tiny angel...

The first pic was this morning, after I gave Chloe her first ever "trim." (sniffle!) But that's not to be confused with her first hair cut, because that hasn't happened yet.. there will be cameras and videotaping involved! This was just a little bang trim that Mommy did while she was sleeping!!

The second picture and video were taken last night after she ate her dinner. She's going to be a drummer... I'm fairly positive! Enjoy! Love, Kate =-)

A Day With Grammy Donna!!

Hey everyone! Chloe, Grandma Donna and I had the best day today! We had lunch at McAlister's (where Chloe ate pickles and drank all of Grammy's sweet tea!), relaxed and took pics at the Governor's Garden, hit Hobby Lobby, and played in the backyard swing and blew bubbles! Enjoy the photos! Love, Kate, Clo, and Grammy Donna

Beauty in Blue!

Hey all! Yesterday, Clo and I met Tara and Lois for lunch at Kate & Ally's (great pizza by the way!), then we ran a few errands and chilled at home. Chloe was a beauty in blue! Here are a few pics! Love, Kate

New Word!!

Let it be known that at 11 months and 7 days...Chloe jabbered 'Dada' over and over!! Chad, Clo and I were sitting at lunch and she just started jabbering it! I'm thrilled that Chad got to be with her when she did it. He's so proud!! Yay Chloe!!! =-)

1st Daddy's Day!!

Chad had a really happy 1st Father's Day! We went to church, where Chad sported his fabulous new Father's Day Tie, hung out at the pool, then ate at Big Muddy's on the river, and saw Darius Rucker in concert (where we also scored sweet VIP tickets!!). We also got to spend Father's Day this year with my dad, which was really special. =-) Love, Kate!

Hangin' at the Pool!

Oh my goodness! The pool is incredible! We had an absolute blast hanging with the fam and enjoying the beautiful weather and warm water!!!

Chad 'dancing' in the pool! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Clo turns 11 Months!

Happy 11 month Birthday, Baby Chloe!!

The girlies come to visit!

Auntie Karen and Auntie KJ came down to visit us for a few days! Yay!

Uncle Tot gets peed on! LOL

These pics are pretty self-explanatory! LOL... what can I say? He loves that little girl!!

FINALLY!!!!

Hey all!! I'm FINALLY getting the new pics posted!! Goodness! It's been a little crazy around here!! All I get done during the day, is chasing Punkin' Sunshine all over the house... but I love it! Chad's playing with her tonight, so I can get the blog updated...finally! Here are a few pics from Branson! Enjoy!! Love, Kate

Chloe dancing during the 'Veggie Tales' show in Silver Dollar City! She LOVES Bob the Tomatoe!!

Hey!

Hey everyone! Okay... so I know it's been awhile. Sorry! We've been here there and everywhere... a funeral in Iowa, Branson (so fun!), back to Jeff for a visit with my girlies (also fun!), celebrated Clo's 11 month bday, and Kansas City for a Cards game (fun too!)! Anyhow... I have TONS of new pics of Clo to get posted, but we've been crazy busy, so bear with me. I promise to get them up ASAP!!

Chloe's doing great! Beautiful as ever, growing like a weed, crawling with super speed, walking with support, grinning and showing off her TWO top front teeth!, giving LOTS of kisses, gearing up for her first Bday, loving on Mommy and Daddy, and getting ready to celebrate Daddy Chad's first ever Father's Day tomorrow! =-)

Talk soon! Katie and Family

This is how we do it!

Hey there! So.... this is the way Chloe brushes her teeth... er, I mean... tooth! She loves chewing on her toothbrush (as well as crawling up and down my legs) while I do my hair in the morning! She is quite thorough and does a great job!


*Big yawn* Right now, Clo and her daddy are asleep on our bed. I think I'll go join them! Sleep sweet! Love, Kate

Just Swingin'!

Hey there! Here is a shot of Chloe enjoying her swing. She loves to just kick back and relax in that thing! Sometimes I blow bubbles for her and Bear and she gets so tickled watching Bear run around popping all the bubbles! Too cute! Love, Kate

P.S. Miss Mobility is getting very close to walking! And her second tooth is about to break thru!

Lovin' on the Bentonsport Bridge!

Hey ya'll! So... I was so thrilled that Shanti got to join us up in Iowa for the wedding last wknd. It gave us the perfect excuse to check out the beautiful little village of Bentonsport, where I addicted Shanti to Iron and Lace and we got to take awesome pictures on the Bentonsport Bridge (one of my most favorite ever photo spots!). Enjoy these beautiful, beautiful photos! Love, Kate

The Wedding...

Hey there! Here are just a few of the many, many pics from the wedding wknd. I've uploaded the complete set of pics to my Kodak Gallery that I'll be emailing out. Be sure to check out the video below of Tot dancing...he said he'd beat me if I put it on here, which motivated me to do so. Hehe! Love, Kate
