Happy Birthday Chlo

Chlo is so lucky to share her birthday with her good friend "Sister Duffy". This year Sister Duffy sent Chlo a package which had a cute tinkerbelle t-shirt and an adorable card. Chlo was so excited! She made Sister Duffy a flower clip, gave her a tinkerbelle cupcake and a card. What a treat to have two such amazing ladies share a birthday.
Dave and Julie were good sports letting me take this picture of them - I did a bit of editing on it, just for fun. They are such a cute family! Looks like another magazine picture...

I had to add this one in because of my adorable niece, Lucy... I'm glad not only my kids do this in pictures :)
Chlo opening a few of her gifts.
Jaylee is getting better with kisses - she actually gave Bailey one :)
Jaylee was trying to run after Chlo, it was quite comical.
Chlo was giving all her grandparents hugs in thanks for the AMAZING gifts she got!
Uncle Dave feeding Bailey - I had to snap a shot of this, it was SO cute!
Chlo wishing mom would have remembered her candles... Oh yea, insulin would have been a good thing to remember too - yep, mom moments... :)
Justin and his cute friend Amber. Aaaw sweet :)
Chlo's chocolate cupcakes with tinkerbelle and her friends. We tried to balance them on our cupcake stand but it kept topling over. Bummer!
The group getting ready to sing to Chlo.
For dinner we had both families together. What a fun night!
This picture cracks me up - Chlo is opening presents while Carlee and Jaylee look on - Dave's in "the brown chair" reading a magazine... what a nut!
Chlo and Carlee showing off their matching pj's they both got for Chlo's birthday.
Yea, she and grandma both looked freaked out here - Grandpa must be a crazy driver :)
Jaylee took a while getting used to the four wheelers... She seemed happy enough here.
Carlee wanted to practice a pose she was asked to do in the morning photo shoot - she was much more cooperative here than she was that morning :)
It took quite a bit of convincing to get Carlee on a four wheeler - all it took was Grandma offering the ride and she was there!
Grandma was so cute and asked if Jaylee wanted to go on a walk with her. Jaylee has a thing with "treasures" so she had to bring a tuperware lid with her on the walk...
Dave and Chlo threw the frisbe for a while - Chlo got pretty good.
Chlo was having a bit too much fun with the fire. Jaylee was intreagued - she liked the fire too.
All of us had a great time on the four wheelers once we got used to them.
We went to Fairview with my family for the day to spend extra time with Dave, Julie and Bailey. Chlo couldn't get enough of the four wheeling!
Just a little picture of one of Jaylee's messes - yes this is just a taste of what she can do...

Yesterday was Chloé's birthday! What a weekend it was... My sister, Julie and her little family were in town so the party was able to continue for a few days. YEHAW :) We were able to get grandaughter pictures, go to the canyon for four wheeling, dutch oven dinners, games, and even a little fishing. Sunday we were able to have a big family dinner and get both my family and Dave's family together. Couldn't have asked for a better crowd! Thanks to everyone who helped make this day so special for Chlo, she had a wonderful day and will remember it forever :)

What a big girl Chloe is these days! :)

That picture of Jaylee chasing Chloe just cracks me up. She was being a little explorer that day - running from place to place checking things out :).
