Birthday Girl

Chloe Faith is 6 years old! 

Chloe is Five!!

The anticipation nearly crippled her.  The impatience nearly drove me crazy.  However, we made it!!  Chloe's birthday finally arrived!!!  She is 5 years old now!

Her day was fun-filled....  Lunch at her favorite restaurant, a trip to the park, bowling, ice cream and cake/cupcakes!

Five is apparently the age at which children are able to start making all of their own decisions....  Chloe informed me as soon as she woke up that she will be doing whatever she wants now.  I believe the conversation went a little like this...
Chloe - "Mom, am I five now?"
Mom - "Yes, Chloe."
Chloe - "Well, now I get to do whatever I want and you are not the boss anymore."
Mom - "Dream on, Chloe.  You are not the boss."
Chloe - "Actually, I am.  I am five now."
Mom - "Chloe, you have to be much older to be in charge."
Chloe - "How old?  Six?"

Yep...welcome to our world of Chloe!
She's 5 going on 15!

A little about our Chloe Belle...
She loves singing and dancing.  She'll do both in public with no care in the world about anyone seeing her.  She introduces herself to anyone and everyone we meet.  She loves animals and getting dirty.  She is curious about everything!  She can make a mess faster than anyone we know.

She's so loveable and has the sweetest way of showing it.  She loves fighting with her brother and sister.  We think one of her favorite things is to get her brother and sister angry, and she's very good at it!  She makes us laugh so hard and brings so much love into our home.  Such a special girl!

Happy 5th Birthday, Chloe!!

Birthday Girl

Miss Samantha turned 9 years old this week!  She has been so excited for her birthday and reminding us everyday that we were just one day closer.  I can't say I blame her, I love birthdays too!  She celebrated her day by taking cupcakes to share with her class at school, getting two floral bouquets, bowling after school, dinner at her favorite restaurant, and getting a few birthday gifts!  It was a pretty special day for a very special girl!

Waiting Patiently

Samantha is rethinking the bowling idea...

And, this is why... Birthday girl lost.  :-(

At her favorite restaurant, El Camino!

She is so excited to get the "birthday treatment"!

Sombrero, Dessert, and whipped cream on your face!!  She loved it!

Yes!  Happy Birthday, Samantha!

Chloe had to try it out.

Don't forget Code-man.

A rose and balloon from Grandma and Grandpa Sillman.

A flower bouquet from Grandma Jane and Grandpa David was delivered to Samantha at school!  She thought that was so special!

She's Four!!

Miss Chloe turned 4 Years Old last week!!  She has been so excited about her birthday, knowing that she'll get to go to preschool when she's four.

Her birthday fell on a day that Chad was out of town on business, so her actual birthday was just little fun things for just her to mark her special day.  I let her choose what she wanted for lunch, she rode on her favorite horse, we picked up some cupcakes for her to enjoy and then she enjoyed some of her favorite custard.

We let her pick out her birthday gifts this year and she chose to get a Toy Story 3 scooter and a Jessie, the cowgirl doll.

We celebrated with a birthday cake on Saturday, since Daddy was home.  Even better, Grandpa & Grandma Williams were here to share her cake too!!

Miss Chloe, I hope all of your wishes come true!

What did you get, Chloe?

Chloe received birthday presents in the mail today from Grandma and Grandpa Sillman.  She was so excited to open them and I wasn't about to try to convince her to "save" them until her actual birthday (which is only 4 days away).   So, she went crazy and ripped them open.  Clothes!  I think most children would quickly toss them to the side and look for the toys.  Not Chloe!  She couldn't get her clothes off fast enough to try the new ones on.  So, Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Miss Chloe!!
