HOT Summer Days...

4TH OF JULY...

Chloe Jo and "Ahh-Ahh" waiting for the show:)
Aunt Jo rocked it on the 4th...



                                                                  See she loved it.  heehee

McKenzie has a great firework show!  This was our first year to actually be home on the 4th.  Usually we are at the lake or in the mountains.  We had such a low-key day at home.  Those are my favorite times when David is actually off work on the weekend and home with us.  We grilled at home and then met my aunts for fireworks.  Chloe Jo was slow to warm up but when we she was tucked in that night she said...I want to tell you something....that was FUN!    


FLOWER GIRL...

Well, we survived the wedding of Paige and Ernie. (you all know him as Aaron but Chloe Jo has always said Ernie and refuses to believe it is anything else!)  Ernie was soooo handsome...Paige was absolutely gorgeous...and I must admit, Chloe Jo was super cute despite her unwillingness to show her wedding smile we had practiced many,many, MANY times!

I would love to tell you how cooperative she was throughout the rehearsal and wedding.  We bribed her with Smarties candy and our plan was working well....UNTIL she saw her Grangy and Papa in the crowd.  David drug her down the aisle while she was crying and yelling she didn't want to do this and she wanted her Grangy and Papa! 

Everyone was coming up and saying she did so good...I guess they did not know what to say.  haha  That is not how I would describe her first and final trip (according to her daddy) down the aisle as the flower girl.  I know my expectations were high but I had hoped she would just for once do what she was supposed to do.  I cannot wait to see the photos

My favorite part was the way Chloe Jo marveled at the "big girls" as they got ready.  See, she is all about the makeup and jewelry...shoes...all the things I am NOT in to.   She accidentally got in the eyelash glue...oops. 

She thought Paige was an absolute princess. 


The first time she saw Paige:)

Showing her Wedding Smile!

Watching the "big girls" get ready:)
