Word Girl!

Jared's favorite cartoon right now is Word Girl. 

Every time it comes on he has to crank it up and dance... he's got some good moves!

Chloe's Birth Announcement

I finally got all of them sent out so I thought I'd post the pics. Instead of spending a small fortune on a photographer, I decided to turn my bed into a photo shoot with a flannel sheet when she was 3 weeks old. They turned out better than I could have hoped! She is now 7 weeks old... where does the time go?! She did such a good job and I think the pics do a good job of showing her personality. Daddy wasn't so sure about all of the naked-ness but I think she was pretty modest... and adorable! =)  

I designed two cards using the same poses but I couldn't decide which card I liked more so I had both printed so some of you got one or the other. Can't wait to do it again at 3 months... then she'll hopefully fit into some of the cute outfits that she was given.

Wind Blows!

Wednesday was quite possibly the crappiest day EVER as far as weather goes! It was about 95〫and the wind blew ALL day at about 60 mph. It was insane. The shingles on the roof of the back garage were flying off (see pic) and the ridge caps on the house (which aren't even a year old) were flipped up and flopping in the wind. Luckily we only had to replace one. I've never experienced anything like it. The air was hazy with dirt and the corn husks filled our yard. Keith was beyond pissed... lots of clean up to do. I forgot to take a pic of the yard.

You can kind of see them flipped up.

Back garage.

Dozer didn't even hear me walk up and snap this shot.

I resorted to doing my flower gardening in the garage that day. Good thing I waited to get this done... they would've been massacred in that wind. Chloe snoozed in the swing for over an hour while I worked. I think the hum of the wind lulled her to sleep. =)

Chloe - 1 Month

Little miss Chloe is one month old already! Where does the time go? She's such a happy baby. Very easy-going and can sleep through anything... good thing since her big brother likes to make lots of noise. She makes the cutest faces and noises when she's sort-of sleeping. Lots of grunting and groaning too... such a little lady! I could sit and watch her sleep for hours... and sometimes I do! =)

The back rest was more like a head rest for her.

I couldn't keep her propped up without the Bumbo so I just laid her down. 

What a cute dress... thanks to the Brennans! =)

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day! We went to church and then had brunch at farm with the Beranek crew and then spent the rest of the day relaxing at home. We took a family picture... only took about 10 shots to get a good one... thanks again, Katie! Jared helped me open my gift when we got home. It was a 3 tier water fountain for the front yard and a decorative tree for the yard... haven't decided where to plant it yet.

Me and my kids... can't see Chloe but she's there!
