Iowa Cabin

Hey ya'll! I'm sooo behind on the blog! Ugh! Here are the latest pics of the Iowa cabin! Love, Kate

Hangin' with Treags and Bathtime!

Hey all! Here are a few recent photos. Also, I texted most of the family already, but Clo's one year pics will be up online Monday, Sept 14, so be watching for an email with the pass code! Peace! Love, Kate

Let's get rollin'!

Clo and Bear have become such good buddies! Here they are... taking a stroll together! LOL! Too cute!! Love, Kate

P.S. Make sure you play the video! :-)

Get together at Papa D and Grandma Joy's!

It's official...she's a toddler!

Hey all. So.... Chloe is walking now... when she wants to! She is officially a toddler! Oh my goodness. She's growing way to fast!! I'm really kind of missing the itty bitty newborn stage... but she's so much fun! It's a blast watching her learn and try new things. :-) This morning, Joyce Eveler shot her one year pics, which I know are going to turn out sooo beautiful! Joyce is amazing! Anyone looking for a photographer, I HIGHLY recommend Joyce. She is simply the best around! I think that she's going to post a few of the pics on her blog sometime soon, so keep an eye out for that! Til then, here are a few recent pics of Clo... Enjoy! Love, Kate

Hanging' out at the Runge Nature Center in Jeff.

Enjoying Daddy's spaghetti! It's probably Clo's favorite meal!! :-)

The cabin's comin' along...

Hey all. Here are just a few of the pics I took of our cabin going up this past weekend.... exciting!!!! Love, Kate :-)

Luau '09

Aloha!! The luau was an absolute blast. Everyone meshed well, loved swimming and dug into the Hawaiian inspired food! The two little girls were ADORABLE and had a blast, as well. Some of my personal favorite highlights of the night included dancing to the Cha Cha slide, watching Clo eat two pink flamingo lollipops at the same time and laughing as the guys did cannonball and long jump competitions into the pool (both of which were Chad's idea, by the way!)! LOL!! Love, Kate

P.S. I'm updating the blog as Clo sleeps on my lap at the hotel in Poplar Bluff. We are here with Daddy, this time. :-)

And, of course, Shanti, Clo and I had to hit Bentonsport before she headed home. We love you, Auntie Shanti!! :-)
