Our Trip to the Zoo

Chloe and "K" watching the Otters

Chloe had a great time at the zoo last week, when I asked her what her favorite animal was, she said a goat! I should mention that her friend has goats on his farm that we can see, so cute! The lions and frogs scared her, and she giggled every time the otters were dancing in the water, and she didn't really know what to think of the monkeys climbing up really high! Fun times!

It's a Boy!

Can you believe it! we are so excited to have a little baby boy in our house! (in about 19 weeks or so) WE are so happy Chloe, daddy and I call him baby brother! She says that Baby Brother swims in water, we took her to the ultra sound and she asked if the baby was in water! so stinking smart!

lots of pink and blue in our house! After a second ultra sound, baby and mommy are both very healthy and no complications!

my Couponing artical

Yep, I am now one of those crazy coupon lady's you see at the grocery store that litterally takes 30 minutes to cheek out with only 20 items! it's said but true, and I LOVE IT! go here to my coupon sahm (stay at home mom) I Am blog to read about the deals you can get just buy shopping at the grocery store using some coupons. I also should mention that since this article has been printed our little coupon group was contacted by the Iowa River Valley Continuing education, a division of Ellsworth Community College, they want us to do a coupon class starting in October! we are hoping to teach a class on how you can save 20%-50% on your grocery bill! how cool is that! And yes I am able to save at lest 60% or more on groceries, sometimes even up to 80% I have the receipts to prove it (not bragging!)

She's a Beauty!

or maybe a dancing princess these days, noting like dancing and playing dress up right? Little Girls are so Fun!
Enjoying this awesome weather at the park! Lunch at the park has been a favorite of ours, meet with friends, play and then take a good nappy! can't ask for a better morning/afternoon!

Christensen's Wedding

Chloe was a beautiful flower girl, Her toddler Chloe personality shined so brightly as she twirled around in her dress. I was so proud of her and G and I are so proud of her!


C Loved Dancing with Daddy, she is such a fun toddler, her favorite songs to dance to is When Will my Life Begin (tangled) and Part of your World (little Mermaid) That was my favorite song to sing too also, humm like mother like daughter?





Oh yeah I got my Canon Digital camera I have been wanting forever! can you tell the difference in the picture quality, a bit more artistic? Yep I love my new camera!

Early Summer Pictures

Barbie (now 5 months old) is a ball of energy! what a fun doggie!

We are enjoying our early summer, Chloe loves spending all her time with her daddy these days and she voices her opinion about me all the time, her favorite thing to say these days: NO! Mommy MEAN! yep that's right she thinks I am MEAN, maybe I am when I tell her to do something she doesn't want to do, what are you going to do? let your 2 year old run your life, NO! However when she is with dadda, she is Happy! that's what she says to daddy, me happy dadda! and repeats that all the time! Fun times! I am just glad that Chloe can voice her emotions at such a young age!

Coming soonin January 2012 to our Family

As some of you know, I am pregnant with our 2nd child! we are so excited! My Due Date is January 11, 2012. My delivery date for our gummy bear is January 4 2012, at Methodist Hospital in DSM, Yep I am having a Cesarean, Not worth the complications I had with Chloe.

Any ideas on what to call this Fetus in my belly? I told Chloe that I have a fetus baby in my belly and she says that now, and although I think it's cute, it's not a pet name... So right now I have Gummy Bear which I am sorta indifferent about at the moment. Any suggestions would be fantastic!
