Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Chloe!

We'll be celebrating at Grandma and Grandpa's soon!

October

The Pumpkin Show in Circleville Ohio.




The parade was "Kids and their pets". She was very excited to see the dogs!

On our way to Apple Fest in Bayfield, Wisconsin. (Different events, same super cute outfit - it's just too perfect not to wear to EVERY fall festival)

Waiting for the parade (it was the marching band day!)

Who can resist dancing and waving?

September

How adorable!
Ben maked Chloe laugh all of the time and he loves being close to her when she isn't attacking him.

Grown up food!

The Minnesota Zoo

The stand off.

Grandma and Grandpa's at the end of August




Her first trip to the Minnesota State Fair

Chillin' at the park

The day she discovered she could shrug her shoulders.

Another trip to the park

Chloe LOVES swinging

Name that tune

Despite Britney's ups and downs, Chloe remains a loyal fan. She's enjoying her hit song "Gimme More".

What a cutie!

Here's a shout out to Jeanne for posting a comment on an earlier blog. Thanks for letting me know you're checking up on us (I've been keeping up on Brody's sporting events thanks to your fabulous blog!). No pressure on the rest of you - but if you ever want to be my favorite (like Jeanne), you're going to have a post a comment soon. Just sayin'... :-)

A Forth Full of Firsts

July 4th was spent at my mom and dad's. Tons of fun had by all.



Just a-swingan'

Free refills?

Race you to the deep end!

If you are lucky, I'll show you my prison tats.

Take me to your leader.

High tide.

First boat ride.

Continued on next post...

Trifecta

We took at trip to the Ann Arbor Art Fair, which doesn't sounds as impressive as it actually was. The number of artists was amazing and there were booths as far as the eye could see. Thousands of people were wandering around trying to take it all in. We experienced quite a bit, including taking a break in a very trendy coffee shop to get out of the heat.

In one of the booths, we saw the most realistic looking sculptures I've ever seen. 30+ people were standing around the booth trying to figure out if these were just artists posing, or if they were sculpture.

This weekend, we headed out to Lumber Jack days in Stillwater. We were able to find free parking and stopped on our way down the hill at Teddy Bear Park. Chloe loved this motorcycle(doesn't she look like a pro?!)

I wonder where the park got the name?

We actually were able to catch some lumber jack displays. We had front row seats for the dog jumping competition. This dog set the new distance to beat with a jump over 22 feet.

Rob and I are now looking for a mini donut booth on ebay. (unless someone would like to take that idea on for a first birthday gift?)

You thought 94 West was bad on Friday afternoon, check out this mess:

Rob and I couldn't decide on one caption for this picture. Here's a few we are going to throw out there:
1. Ummm....what?!

2. What's wrong with picture?

3. At least the Pringles are safe.

4. Anyone looking for a day care provider?

5. My guess they gave the baby a fishing pole.

6. Maybe it's just a conversation piece?

7. Not only did the baby fall out of the boat, they didn't even care it was getting a sun burn.

Any other ideas for captions? Feel free to comment.

Jack's not the only one with the biggest rubber ducky in the world!

Today, we went to Canterbury Park for "Family Fun Day". They had pony rides and a petting zoo.

Where are the mini donuts?!

Chloe was making our picks (she's done the research). Hey, does this come with crayons?!
