Spring... Where have you Been?!

Khloe loved the weather today. It started off as a cooler morning and then temperatures got up to almost 80 degrees. Whoa!! She insisted she spend quality time at the park, today. Mommy couldn't agree more! It was indeed the perfect play day.

Easter Picture Session out of Town

Khloe has enjoyed spending time out of town this weekend. Our last event of the trip was Khloe's Easter pictures outside the zoo. However, the picture below was taken by Mommy and Daddy at a beautiful park in town. Spring is in the air... and Khloe is ecstatic for Easter! She absolutely adores spending time with her family and holidays. She enjoyed spending time outside, checking out the new life of animals in the spring... and new spring blooms. So beautiful and serene!

Fun Times at the Zoo

Khloe had a great day (day 2 of her weekend trip). She woke up and enjoyed breakfast at the hotel. Then, we headed to the zoo (while it was cooler this morning). She loved the animals. She got to ride a CAMEL... all by her little self! Big girl! She also enjoyed the carousel ride, train ride, petting the animals in the petting zoo, watching the chimpanzees do tricks for her, seeing a tiny owl up close and personal (it looked like a furbee), and the list goes on. After leaving the zoo we hit the Cheesecake Factory (another first for Khloe) and retail therapy (shopping). She had her Easter portrait session today, with one of Mommy's favorite out-of-town photographers! She did a great job and cooperated. Yay Khloe girl! Mommy ordered her the most adorable Easter outfit... but, she will be wearing it on Easter, too. So, check back then to see her Easter attire. After her pictures, we headed to some beautiful parks around town to take some sunset pictures (with Mommy and Daddy) while she was dressed for it. We ended the day with playtime at a local playground before heading back home. Action-packed, super-fun day... made for a Princess!

Roadtrippin' with Mommy/Daddy

Khloe was so excited that she got to go out of town and stay in a hotel. One of her favorite things to do... for sure! Mommy and Daddy returned from their recent vacation, so it was Khloe's turn to be treated to fun. Poor big brother (aka Bubby) had to work and couldn't go. Boo. We headed out of town and hit several fun hot spots along the way. Khloe experienced her first Hard Rock. She thought she was old enough to play the gambling machines... but she has a few years to go. Ha! She is growing up so fast... she acted like such a big girl on her trip (well, other than wanting to be carried around all the time)! What a great first day of her weekend road trip!

Shopping for Mommy

Khloe was a big helper today. She cruised along with Mommy, helping her get things ready for Mommy and Daddy's upcoming vacation. Khloe helped Mommy decide on swimsuits, shoes and other articles for her trip. But, there was always fun time between shops. Khloe was in the shoe store (Mommy was looking for waterproof sandals) and saw a firetruck that she would ride. She even put her own quarters in the machine to start up the fun ride (she was disappointed by the weak sound of the horn... LOL). Khloe knows how to have fun NO MATTER where she is. She called Nana while we were at the shoe store and asked her if she would come get her... and of course Nana showed up immediately. Just precious!

Rain Never Bothered Her Anyway

Khloe loves the rain... and it never fazes her. She likes to make the best of every day. Today, even with the rain, she played outside with Mommy for a bit. Although, most of the day, she stayed in and worked on reading, writing, coloring and other fun activities. Khloe had her speech class today, but it was her only outside activity for the day. She is counting down the days when Mommy and Daddy leave for their trip to the BVI (next Tuesday). She's excited, because she gets to spend time with her Papaw/Nana... and play with her best friend in their neighborhood, Lillian. She can't wait!

Sunny Days Ahead

Khloe is excited that the weather has been beautiful the last couple days (only to bring rain later this week)! She ran errands with Mommy (helping her prepare for her upcoming trip). She was quite the little sweetie today. Khloe explained to Mommy today that she did not want any more babies (ever!) in our house, because she wants to be the baby forever! So funny! It has been on her mind, lately, probably because so many of Mommy's friends/family have been having babies these past couple weeks and she is just clarifying her desires (or non-desires). LOL We enjoyed a lot of time outside today. Daddy wanted us to come by his office. When we got there, we took a walk (behind his work) to check out part of the lake stream. Khloe got to see a huge turtle starring at us (he was propped up on his log and a bit annoyed because we were throwing rocks in the water). Mommy finished re-registering Khloe for Elementary school today... can't believe she's about to be a big girl! So glad Mommy and Daddy opted to keep her back another year before making the huge lunge in to Kindergarten (Elementary school). She was far too little (having a very late birthday) and Mommy/Daddy just WERE NOT ready, either!! But, boy, is she going to be Miss smartypants when she does start Kindergarten... she knows far more than the average 1st grader, even. Straight A's here she comes!

Dr. Seuss Day at School

Khloe was thrilled to get to have a Dr. Seuss party in her class, today. Dr. Seuss is one of her favorite children's book author. We can't tell you how many times a week Khloe chooses one of his books to read before bedtime or just because... many many times! Mommy had a custom dress made for Khloe for school last year to wear for her Dr. Seuss party, but it was too big last year when we received it in the mail. So, we saved the adorable dress for this year. It was a hit! Her teachers proclaimed they wanted a dress like that made for them in their size. Ha!! All day long the compliments rolled in. Sweet girl looked darling! It was a memorable party... with lots of fun food/activities... all Dr. Seuss related! After school, she enjoyed dance class with her friends.

Raindrops Keep Falling on her Head

Khloe has decided that our weather is unpredictable... period. From ice/snow... to wind... to rain... to heat. Goodness, consistency would be nice. Ha! But, as of today, it has been raining for two days. Khloe is ready for the sun to pop out and stay out... especially after all the snow/ice we just had. Even though it was a rainy day, today, Khloe certainly made the best of it. She started off her day with a short speech class with one of her all-time favorite speech teachers. Then, we grabbed a quick lunch (and Khloe got a little sweet treat). After lunch, we shot home to read a little, practice writing our letters and math (addition/subtraction)... watched a movie... then headed into town to meet Daddy for a little grocery shopping (after he got our of work). Khloe has been missing her bubby, since he started driving... she is so excited to see him every evening when he gets home! Awe!!

Daylight Savings Cutie

Khloe didn't forget to set her clocks forward last night. She was out the door, in a hurry, this morning. She had a birthday party to go to. After taking brother lunch to work, we ran by one of our favorite clothing stores, briefly, to find a mint colored top (for Khloe)... we also found a cute swimsuit and some cute jelly sandals for the summer! The snow is long gone and we are preparing for Spring. Yay!! Khloe had a great day... it wasn't as warm as it had been the past two days (because it was overcast), but Khloe wasn't complaining. We ran into some of our dear friends (the Wilsons) while we were shopping. When we got home, Khloe ate dinner and went with her Daddy to visit with one of our neighbors (Khloe likes to go down there, because she loves their little dog).

Khloe was doing silly things before Mommy snapped her picture...

Ding Dong the Snow is GONE!

Khloe was extra excited today to spend some time outside... finally, the snow melted and Spring is in the air! The sun was shining... and it was in the lower 60's today. Yay... a break from this bitterly cold mess. A glimpse of Spring is EXACTLY what little missy needed! Khloe wanted to spend some time outside. Today, she had a hearing/vision test for Kindergarten requirements. Unfortunately, her ears were all clogged up today, so she didn't do great on her hearing test (which any other time she always passes... but, I'm sure she has some fluid in her inner ear drum... her nose has been running and her eyes, too). Her vision test confirmed that she she needs glasses for her astigmatism. Ugh. But, knowledge-wise... Wow. She can count to 100 and beyond... she knows up to her 5s in simple addition... she is starting to work on subtraction with Mommy... she knows her address, city, state and country she resides in... how to read simple sentences/ and spell easy words... and all of the things I covered last year on her blog post. Khloe is above average and we plan to keep her there! Khloe is officially ready for Kindergarten this Fall and we are so happy we kept her back one more year (just to increase her intelligence even more!).

Khloe loving the non-breezy, sunny, Spring-like day...

Winter Wonder Girl

Khloe finally got the snow she expected this past weekend. It started snowing heavy on Friday early afternoon and did not let up until Sunday night. We were trapped at home, due to the roads being iced over and snow freezing. We were beginning to wonder if we would even get any more snow this winter. But we did... and we are expecting more... soon! Khloe was excited, though, because we went to a banquet dinner Saturday evening and by the time the banquet was over, the roads were solid ice.... unable to travel. We had to load up and drive down the road to Papaw/Nana's house. It turned into a sleepover. But, it was fun and we were all safe. Yay!! Khloe is ready for Spring and Summer... she has so many cute outfits to wear (which it's hard to dress too cute when it's freezing outside!).
