Turkey Day

The night before Thanksgiving Chloee chowed down on a drumstick. It is so funny to watch her eat her "big people" food.

Getting ready to go outside on Thanksgiving and play. Once the grandkids got out there, they realized how stinking cold it was and marched right back in.

Chloee petting a dog that grandpa was taking care of. She would scream at the back door, "DOG, DOG, DOG!!!!!" She loved rubbing Vegas' tummy. Chloee definitely gets her lack of fear of dogs from her dad, NOT ME!

Grandma and the toots! Chloee and grandma did dishes together, played lots of games and let's face it, she will eat from her and not us! When Josh is chasing her around the house, who do you think she runs to? Not me, it's grandma that she runs to for safety.

Chloee talks about "Gran-pa" all the time, all day. Anytime we are in the store and see someone old and with gray hair, she says, "Gran-pa" and of course says it loud enough that they can hear but usually just smile at her. I'm sure she will LOVE Santa if she thinks all old men with gray hair are grandpa!!

We made sugar cookie turkeys. Ok, they started out as turkeys but ended up us doing family portraits. Top left is Josh, he looks good I know. Top right is me. Do you like my trendy bow? Bottom left is Chloee, it is supposed to look like her hair is in pigtails. Bottom right, Josh did this one and it is an angry turkey. Very cute, I think!!!!

Funny Stuff

As most of you already know, I love to post random pictures of Chloee. I have so many pictures and I love to share them. Of course I think everything she does is cuter than anyone else does but hey, isn't it supposed to be that way, I'm the mom!

Quite the little tap dancer.

The tap dancer dressed.

Dad being used as a jungle gym. Only one hand for help, she's pretty daring.

No hands.... See below for what happens next.....

Thought you'd enjoy!

Going Once, Going Twice... SOLD!

FINALLY!!! The commute has gone on way too long, the gas prices are killing us and we just want to see more of daddy. We sold our house and we couldn't be happier.

The buyers wanted to close 10 days after the offer, on November 20th. That clearly wasn't going to work for us seeing as how we have to find a house in Davis County now. Our settlement is December 14th and it's a cash deal, so hopefully everything goes smoothly.

We feel so blessed. We wanted to be in a new house for Christmas and not have to do any more winters through the canyon. Most of you already know about our 3 wrecks in 3 days, 2 of which were done in the SAME day last winter. Luckily the damage was all done to the same car.

Yet another plus about moving, I am not going to clean unless I WANT TO! Oh it will be nice to be able to leave dishes in the sink and not have to try and mop while Chloee is behind me licking up the water. YUCK! I am so excited I can barely contain myself!

The Incognito Chlo

Here she is undercover in her daddy's socks. Daddy put his on and seeing as how Chloee is his forever sidekick, she needed them as well. They fit perfect!

She is actually keeping some sort of hair piece in her hair. A total no no for Chloee, she can't let anyone know that she is really a girl.

A dress too..... oh my, she is really playing girlie girl today!

A cape, a dress, who knows what it is... maybe wonder woman! The wonder that is Chlo.

Wonder woman can't save the world without HER trusty dusty sidekick, the mom!

These were all just so funny, I had to post them. She is so funny and we love her very high strung personality. She keeps us on our toes 24-7, even when we are sleeping and she is talking to herself. Oh, we don't even want to think were we'd be without our little treacherous angel of a daughter!

7 Random Things...

I have been tagged by Amy Lou. Here are 7 random things that you may or may not know about me. I live a really closed life, so I am guessing that most of these will be surprises for most of you.

1. I have 3 other children with 3 different men. I can't really keep all the kids straight and which guy they belong to.

2. I am a closet smoker. Maybe that has something to do with why we can't sell our house?

3. In Vegas I am married to 2 other men, 1 since divorced but the alimony is great! How else do you think we can afford this 2 million dollar home that we live in?

4. Josh and I tell everyone that we met at Cabin Fever. The real truth is that I met Josh at a "club" ;) where I was performing that night and he got my number. So romantic!

5. When I was just 7 years old I was caught selling drugs to my other classmates. I tried to pass them off as smarties when I was caught. Can you believe it, a juvie record at 7! Mom was so proud.

6. When I was younger, my sister, Amy used to beat my bladder when I needed to pee. She used to grab my legs and haul me back down the stairs and beat me to the bathroom (only 1 bathroom in the house). She used to hold me down and make me laugh until I peed and then go and tell mom and I'd get in trouble. One time I actually tried to vacuum it up. It's actually amazing that we are as good of friends as we are considering the "sisterly love" she used to display towards me.

7. I am into S&M.

OK, maybe I took it a little too far but I bet you can't guess which one of these is the actual true one!!!!! No one left to tag, so if you are reading this and haven't done it yet, I tag you!

Halloween

Our very own little kangaroo. Old Navy, all the way if you want to keep your kids super warm! I love this on her, so cute!

The Devil, Kangaroo and the very scary daddy gorilla! What an interesting family! Hey, you know what they say, "the devil comes disguised as a beautiful woman". Just kidding!

Amy was a man. Her kids didn't even know who she was. She wore a three piece wool suit of her husbands and was even wearing his shoes. She looked great! Don't we look good together?

Amy (the man), Kai as Thomas (Amy made that getup) and Kennet, the rugby player. Josh tried to scare them when they came by wearing his mask, it didn't phase Kai but Kennet would have rather been with his man-mom (who he didn't even recognize) than even look at Josh's face.

The little Roo trying to get back up after she fell down. Oh, that tail is just too much for me. I'm glad Amy snapped this perfect shot.

Chloee used to be scared of the gorilla until she realized that it was always just her daddy under there thinking he was funny. She gave the gorilla BIG kisses!

We could all fight crime together. Mom as Jane of the Jungle, swinging from vine to vine to save the endangered species in HER jungle. Amy as a very interesting man that could pose as the Christian Bale stunt double (that's where all of the crime fighting funding comes from). Me as the devil, what can I say, I promote the crime, without me none of us would even have a job. I'm definitely a key player in all of this.

Matthew the ballerina! He makes quite the cute little girl. Don't you think?

The kids at great grandpa and grandma's house. They love to see the kids all dressed up and it was fun to visit with them.

Great grandpa Dale and great grandma Ruth. Poor grandma, she is going in for more heart procedures next week. She didn't feel very good last night.

Chloee just loved grandpa. Dad loves to scare the trick-or-treaters and he loves to feed Chloee. Last night Chloee would eat a chip and then feed grandpa the rest of it and so forth. She would only eat her sloppy joe from grandma or grandpa, none of this parent crap!

The very tired kangaroo. This picture is so priceless of grandma and Chloee. She had a rough day and was so tired and worn out at the end. She would get so mad because we would have to take the top off to ride in the car. That thing was huge, there was no way that she'd fit in her car seat with it on.

We went trick-or-treating at the mall yesterday with a neighbor friend of mine and her son. He is Eeyore. Chloee and Nate looked like they were both from some Winnie The Pooh story. Not planned but it was very cute!

Cute as a button, enough said!
