Happy 35th Anniversary

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

It's Tea-Time

Chloe and her two friends had a little Tea Party. Her two bunny rabbits joined her and must have mad her made because she kept changing their chairs, pointing saying no, and jabbering away.

Funny girl...

Chloe being silly :)

Promised Land

The sign that named the land :) Me, Chloe, and Mimi The entrance, this place is COVERED in trees

The view from the front

Chad trimming up some trees.

Friday we signed on the land, it's officially ours and I am stoked about moving out to the country. My parents, Bryan & Ashley, Brad, & us have been looking for a some acreage to buy for a while now. We found 14 acres on lakeview property and we have split it into 4 lots giving each of us 3.5 acres. Everyone was out working on it today, trimming trees and mowing. Chloe and I visited for about 30 minutes, long enough to bring them lunch and leave. I think this will be the 6th time I have moved since I was 20 so Im excited this will be the last!! The land is going to be gated as one property and we have been contimplating on a name for it. Chad wanted it to be called the J-Dub Estates (J-W, Jones -Welborn) but that didnt go over to well. Last week as they were exploring they found a huge iron sign that said "Promised Land" at the back of the land covered in grass, so we have now decided on that name. The Promised Land, I like it.

Very Productive.

I can't believe it, Im running on 4 hours sleep and this is what I have done today...

Got up at 6 got ready for work, worked until 4 and had bootcamp until 5 (which i have serious calf cramps from, 18 classes down and 6 to go...for now). Came home, played, fed, bathed,rocked Chloe to sleep. Folded 4 loads of laundry, cleaned out 3 closets, vacuumed entire house and dusted....amd actually posted blogs!!!! and its 11:08 pm and Chad is still at work..ugh. Thank goodness for 5 hour energy drinks.

Future Beethoven

My memaw gave Chloe a "baby" Baby Grand, hoping it will start a love for the piano. My memaw's dream was for one of her grandkids to have the passion for playing the piano like she does. My brother and I took lessons for several years but eventually got tired of it. I can play a little and Bryan can play by ear, which basically means anything he hears he can replay without reading the music, which is what my grandma does. Hopefully Chloe will pick up that talent if she decides to play. We'll see...personally I think she is amazing at the piano already.

Baby Blues

This girl melts my heart!

Yard

Just a post,just because I think it looks so good!

Rainy Day Fun

Looking at the alligator. Chad had a tear in his eye thinking about his alligator Dude that died. A girl in Lubbock gave Dude liquor. RIP Dude. Checking out the ducks. Chloe wanted to climb in so bad!

Stopping by the souvenir shop.

Shark Tanks!

Eating afterwards,not to thrilled about Chad putting a lobster tail on her plate. YUCK.

We were supposed to be going to Mark Miller's 1st bday party but his little brother decided to make his way in to the world a few weeks early. Welcome to the world little Peyton. Instead of staying home and Chloe running around like crazy inside, we decided to fight the rain and take her to the The Dallas World Aquarium.. It was such a fun day and I can't believe I have never been there before. We all had a great time seeing all the animals and will probably be heading back soon.

Lots of catching up to do!!

I know I know its been forever since a post... hopefully I will have them all up this week sometime. Chad has been super busy at work lately (only to get worse in the summer) so between working, cleaning, cooking, and playing with Chloe...Im exhauseted and usually just lay in the bed with her when she goes to sleep, maybe this week I will bring the laptop up and catch up on all our adventures!! Stay Tuned!!!

Mother's Day

My 2nd Mother's Day was WONDERFUL. We went to church (at my memaw's church) and surprised her. I really never get to hear the messages anymore during church since Chloe is so restless, there is no way she will sit still during service and she will not stay in the nursery either. Basically i have to sit in the lobby and listen over the intercom systems. My memaw was actually singing a solo song and she did so good, Chloe was yelling through the entire song, Im pretty sure she was cheering her on ;) Chad and Chloe got me a cross necklace made of aquamarine stone which is Chloe's birthstone, and I absolutley love it! What a special day for all mothers in the world. Chloe you make my life complete, and there are no words to tell you how much I love you. I thank God everyday for your smile, laughter, and yes even your tantrums :)

Chad's fave dinner

I made Chad his favorite dinner for him.... the Chicken-Rancho-Pico-Cheeso-Avacado-Sandwich.

Year Old Shots

Chloe had her shots today, she did way better than I thought she would. I was a little aggrevated in the waiting room at a lady that was in there. Chloe was in a wonderful mood smiling and giggling and a lady and her daughter walked in, she immediately started waving at them, the little girl kinda smiled and the mom just sat down. Chloe got out of my lap and walked up to the lady (the waiting room is small so she was only about four steps away from me) and started swinging her arms back and forth giggling and waving at the lady once again. The lady gave her a stare down that no one should ever give a child...so immediatly my blood was boiling and I talked to Chloe in a nice voice and said "YUCKY LADY,MEAN LADY". I was actually proud of myself for only saying that. FYI.. I have also prayed for that lady, i should never judge anyone because I dont know what her life is like, or what she faces every day for her to have to be in a terrible mood, hopefully she was just having an off day. I know I was wrong. I couldn't help it at the time though. I was telling Chad what happened and he started laughing, he says he can see my momma in me everyday (if any of you know my momma, that is a HUGE compliment). Bryan, Brad , and myself could go to her for any reason and she would be our biggest supporter. Chad was sitting in the living room tonight while I was playing with Chloe and he just looked at me with the sweetest face and said "you are such a wonderful mom". Made my night :) Anyways back to Chloe's shots, for being such a tuff baby we went to Toys R Us and she picked out a Water & Sand table, Pink Car that zooms off when you shake it, Elmo DVD, new swimsuit (for Jackson bday) and some flip flops (that are too small).

Strawberries

I think she likes them now. Finally. She ate most of the strawberry I gave her...the funny thing is that she has never messed with the wine cooler EVER until today, and it was while she was munching on her strawberry.....maybe she was wanting a glass of wine and fruit...LOL!
