Happy Trails to You...

On Friday night we were invited to a really fun event! Lee Elementary is closing...yea-don't get me started...but they had a HUGE party for all the kids, teachers, past, present, etc.  We were able to set up a tent where we took pictures and printed them out while you waited! It was so much fun & we got to take lots of crazy pictures! Chloe was in the hands of Papa, Mimi, Aunt Lindsay & Uncle Lance (who were all there) and she had a blast! She rode the train, played in the bounce house, played in the bubbles & danced her little heart out! We will be so sad next Thursday when Lee is officially closed and we won't get to go visit Mimi there anymore...but last night sure was fun!

silly chloe tricks!

here are a couple of our favorite chloe tricks!

coleman & chloe

on thursday our sweet friend coleman, "coco", came to play! we went for a wagon ride, colored pictures & played outside! i love seeing them interact! they are so funny! afterwards chloe & i enjoyed some yummy bueno at home-chloe insisted on using her piano bench as a table so that she could also watch elmo on tv-silly girl! here are a few pictures!

tshirts!!!!

Yesterday I got my tshirts I ordered in! Long story short-we wanted tshirts to wear to an event I'm photographing this weekend & didn't want to screen print them with the silly minimums-no fun & tooo expensive-plus what to do with a box full of tshirts! i also had the great idea that we could totally learn how to screen print ourselves on youtube-yea...no.  anyway-so we ordered digital prints from uberprints.com They weren't super cheap-but cheaper than trying to cover a minimum with screen printing! I think for a tshirt for Nate & I it was $40 total.  I'm about to order more...my family wants some & I totally forgot to order one for chloe!!! oops!! Soo...here they are! P.S. Nate did not want to be my model so you are stuck with just me! :)

Memorial Day Weekend

We headed to Houston to Nates parents this weekend! Oh wait, let me back up...we ended up not leaving until Saturday afternoon because I had a birthday party to shoot...so we woke up Saturday morning & chloe wanted to dance & jump in our bed-pretty normal.....until she fell and practically broke her face! Poor baby has a horrible black eye and a banged up nose! Please don't call CPS on us! I promise we both were in bed watching her and then BANG! Okay-so back to Houston-we hung out and had such a great time! Our friends, Jason & Jon came over and Nate's sister too! It was a great, relaxing weekend! Here are alot of pictures! :0

the lake..and bueno..yummmm!

I forgot to post this earlier this week...we went to my grandparents house on Saturday night who live out on the lake-it was so good to see my sweet Poppy & Grammy! We hung out with my cousins, Jonah, Brooks & Zach and all took rides on the golf cart! It was Chloe's first time to get to "drive"! She loved it! She kept saying "beep beep, vroooom!" Also-on Mother's Day I got to pick where we were going to lunch-I HAD to pick my favorite...Taco Bueno...yuuummmmm! Chloe takes after her mommy & Daddy and enjoyed her usual cheese quesadilla dipped in, what else, cheese!

I have to warn you-I was a little obnoxious & added a lot today! sorry! :)
