Olympics 2024

I started my training last night and had daddy document my first night so when I'm performing at the Olympics I will have a nice little feature on how I got started. I had lots of fun and actually did pretty amazing. I cried when it was time to leave but mommy promised me french fries so I perked right up. I will keep you updated during my quest for Olympic Gold......

Back & Better Than Ever....

I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in a while….I have been very busy. It is just hard to find the time to sit down and write a good blog- I mean with all the walking, learning to talk and swimming with floaties I’m just so overwhelmed. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a repeat so I decided to set some time aside between breakfast and nap time. Since the last time we have spoken my daddy has turned the big 3-0 (he is such an OLD man), I have turned the big 0-1, the pool has been officially opened, my aunt Krissy had her Bridal  Shower, a new house, Easter, 4^th of July and a visit to Gatlinburg.   WOW- I’m way behind on blogging hopefully I will get caught up and stay caught up. If you are a regular reader you might have noticed a new layout- Big shout-out to my good friend Alyssa. She updated it and brought it into the now. I mean I’m 15 months it’s time to have a blog layout that reflected that.

So let’s jump right in…..

My birthday party was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G it was everything I had been dreaming of since I was born. My mommy and daddy really outdid themselves (mommy did most of it-but daddy did front the money). It was at my house (now my old house) and everybody who was anybody was there. It was a “Chloey’s Candyland theme” and I couldn’t have been more impressed. We had hotdogs, homemade ice-cream, lots of presents and my awesome cake. I was so overwhelmed by the end of the party I had a small mental breakdown but after a quick power nap it was time to start playing with my new toys….I always say “so many toys so little time”.

 My Diek and Ammie have a huge backyard complete with an awesome swimming pool. I spend many lazy summer days getting my tan on. I was a little shy at first and only wanted to stay in my baby pool but no worries I’m now swimming by myself with the help of my floaties. I have also jumped off of the diving board by next summer I’m projected to be swimming without the floaties (I’m thinking about entering the swim races at Freedom Fest next year so I have to start training now). I have big shoes to fill- my mommy took 1^stplace in the 6 year old division (she forgets to tell people she was the only one swimming).

 You might have heard that my Aunt Krissy is getting hitched to a dude from Australia. His name is Uncle Chris Duke and I’m pretty pumped he is going to be in my family I just hope he doesn’t take my Aunt Krissy to live in Australia (again). We hosted her Bridal Shower at my church. She got lots of presents mostly cooking stuff- she better learn how to cook my Uncle Chris has a hearty appetite. Anyway, as usual I was the life of the party I helped her open gifts, stole food off of people’s plates and danced my little booty off.

Since I have been born mommy and daddy’s first house just kept getting smaller and smaller. They finally decided to sell it to my Uncle Kyle and buy our dream home. The thing I’m most excited about is I get my own room and my own playroom…..no more sharing my toys with my room ( I mean who does that). I love, love, love making a mess in my playroom and will spend hours in my room playing. Mommy seems pretty happy because daddy has his own “man cave” and she doesn’t have to share a closet with the neat freak. The house also came with an indoor swimming pool (Jacuzzi) and I love getting a bath with my babies.

We have celebrated a few Holiday’s since we last left off- My birthday, Easter, Memorial Day and The 4^th of July. Most of those have been spent with friends and family around the pool. My favorite has been the 4^th but I can’t decide if I like fireworks or not. If I could just see the lights without the big booms it would be golden.

 

This brings me to my final topic- Gatlinburg. My Mimi and Big Sam had planned a romantic trip to Gatlinburg so mommy and I decided to crash it. After a little rough patch of car sickness we got the party started. We ate at Hard Rock Café and I got to shake my booty, go see fishies at the Aquarium and try my first candy apple (delish).  It was a great adventure (Mimi and Big Sam- if you’re reading this I really really want to go to the beach. I will be a good girl and behave the entire time).

 I have been talking up a storm. I can say thank you, boobies, toes, Sunday, food, chips, upstairs etc. I’m really starting to be a big girl. It makes mommy and daddy sad but girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
