Spring Break...so far!

So it is spring break! We really haven't done anything exciting so far! The weather has been a little sad for spring break! On Monday Chloe and Adison went to swim camp at COM. They got to do gymnastics, jump of the diving boards, slide, rope swing, swim, eat a snack, and swim some more. Chloe was so happy when I picked her up! I was glad to see her happy! I picked up the girls and took them to McDonald's for a happy meal, went to mimi's house to eat it, and then took Adison home. It was a fun day for Chloe!
Today was a little blah! We ventured out for a little bit, but that was short lived...and I still have not found the perfect pair of sunglasses to wear to Puerto Vallarta!!
Tomorrow we will meet some friends at the Children's Museum...and then the highlight of Chloe's week! My friend Emily and I rented a room at a hotel here that has an indoor pool. The kids are going to swim until they can't swim anymore! We will eat dinner there....swim some more...then head home at night. We decided that we didn't really want to sleep in the hotel!! I hope she really enjoys herself...I think she will! She loves water!
Oh! And I have some photo shoots this week too! I am so excited!

Happy

 I think that if you looked up "Happy" in the dictionary, this is what you would see...

Bingham Dance Groundbreaking!

 I was so honored to be asked to photograph the Bingham Dance groundbreaking event! It was a little chilly, windy, and dirty...but the girls were so cute and brightly dressed! It was so fun to see where the new site for "Talent Station" will be!

Twinkle Toes!!

We have spent the last three days trying to find Chloe some new shoes.


It is a frustrating process...


She likes her tall boots. She likes her flip flops. This is fine with me, but it is getting warmer and she is not allowed to wear flip flops to school. All she wears is leggings and dresses, so finding shoes to go with that particular outfit is challenging.


Gees...no one ever told me that this part of parenthood would be difficult! You know, the whole "oh my gosh...what shoes is my five year old going to wear with that outfit" part. I seriously need to get a grip!


We found a pair at dillards and bought them. They are really cute and very sparkly. The next day, she lets us know that they are uncomfortable. I was frustrated, but definitely don't want her walking around with aching feet! So, we returned those and went out on another shoe outing!


We would walk in to a store...Chloe would head straight to the high heeled church shoes...I would say no...explain to her what we are looking for...hold up a darling pair...she would say no...on the occasion that we did find some she approved of they wouldn't have her size...and we would walk out, with our heads held low...okay not really, its just shoes!!


We finally found a cute pair at Finish Line. She tried them on...walked around funny in them...and then declared that these are the ones she wants. I was excited...but insisted on checking just one more store before I took the plunge and bought them only to return them the next day. We went down to JC penny and checked out their options. And that is where I found myself saying something that I never thought I would have to say...


"No! Chloe you are not allowed to wear heels to pre-k!"


She really wanted those high heeled tennis shoes! Yep...thats right! High-heeled tennis shoes.


So...we went back to finish line and ended up with these:

Cute huh! I told her that if she went to school and stomped, I would take the battery out so that they quit twinkling...Now, how do you do that?

Chloe-isms!

It has been a while...and I am leaving tons out! But, here are some of the cute things Chloe has said lately!


chloe: Hey momma, Trinity and Me both have blonde hair!
Me: I know...(in a whiny voice) What about me?
Chloe: Momma...God only gives you the color he wants you to have.


Chloe: (While watching TV with my mimi) "Mimi...is that a robber on tV"
Mimi: I guess it could be
Chloe: I bet he's looking for recipes!


Chloe: Mom how do you spell Soverign
Me: Well, tell me what Sovereign means...
Chloe: God is sovereign
Me: and?
Chloe: and he created everything and he has no end.
Me: S-O-V-E-R-E_I-G-N...Chloe it means that God is perfect and in control of everything.

Chloe: mom did you know that there are two seasons that are hot and two that are cold
Me: Yes...which ones are hot?
chloe: spring and summer are hot...and fall and winter are cold...That means they are complements!
Me: Wow! you are absolutely correct!

Me: You can't wear that dress until Easter
Chloe: When is that?
Me: in a month
Chloe: wow...thats a dang long time!

Oh, how I love my little girl!!!

The next few days...

Curt leaves for California tomorrow. I will miss him, but I am so happy for him to be going to the Shepard's Conference. It is a special time for him to bond with other men of our church and a time for his spiritual growth. I am very proud of my husband.
The conference streams the sermons live on the internet. You can check them out here:

I hope that if you do listen, that you will be blessed.
