Take me out to the ball game...

Chloe is a true St. Louisan at heart! Grandpa made sure her first major league game was a Cardinals game! We took the train downtown - which made it a plane, train and baseball game all in one day! According to Chloe at the baseball game, "The pitcher throws the ball, the guy hits it and runs real fast." Too true.

Like her mother, Chloe's favorite part was the food...and the loot - her first baseball cap!


Then we got ice cream after dinner... too exciting!

circus

Nona took us to the circus...what a treat!

getting ready to go

under the big top

Chloe was clinging like-a-monkey-crying-terrified of the clowns....except "that one that gave me a sucker."

a preview of what Chloe will look like at age 10

not a huge fan of cotton candy

luckily we had Daddy to finish it off!

What a fun day out. We all had a great time!

a visit

Nonny & Grandpa came for a visit. What fun we had!
They brought gifts from their travels, we ate looootttsss of food and we went to the Cranbrook Institute of Science to check out their dinosaur exhibit.

Matching tatoos!

We had a great time in Cleveland catching up with extended family!
Chloe polka danced with anyone she could get her hands on.

Best Missed Blog Entries

We've had a CRAZY-BUSY summer and due to all the commotion I haven't recorded some of the best people and most memorable moments. Here are my top faves - freshly uploaded from my camera (after monnnnnthhhs and monnthhs of collecting dust).

Last year at this time Grandpa was putting her through crawling boot camp. Now he's training her to go on long walks.

Chloe has become quite the budding artist this summer. She has also become a definite type A... note: the crayons lined up to her right.

I think I see a family band in our future.

2nd parade of the year: sweltering heat, 2 hours long & Chloe loved every minute of it! She waved and waved her flag & also tasted her first sucker!
This photo is from a day when Chloe's cousin Camila 'babysat' her for a few hours. Chloe was in complete shock & awe that the little body next to her could read. She kept giving me this look - aka: do you SEE this, Mama?!!!!

Words cannot express the love of these cousins!....or Dri's glasses for that matter!

Chloe NEVER falls asleep on us. Ever ever. But in Oregon she was constantly crashing on everyone. Precious.

The big girl cozies up on her new shelves/bench. She really has become so big this summer...speaking in full sentences, counting to 10, singing her ABC's and the Whinnie the Pooh Song all the way through, knows her shapes and colors, some letters and numbers and how to spell her name. It's amazing what a little lady she is becoming! We are so proud of her!

The King and Queen decorate their own crowns... and surprisingly wore them.

They just went about their normal routine wearing crowns. It was awesome.

I hope to have a complete entry on our 2 week trip to Lake Erie...but I'm waiting on photos from others (shockingly I didn't take a single photo).

Oregon Part Two

We finished off the trip with a visit to a petting farm and a picnic in Ashland, OR. We thought Co-co (as she is calling herself these days) might be a little timid around the animals...but boy were we wrong! She was chasing down goats, pigs and deer and had a llama running for his life! She even rode a horse by herself...quite the little cowgirl - not a lick of fear in her!


Chloe got a kick out of feeding Daddy cherries.

Say no to crack.


Swing time.

Playing in the river.
