My Local Celebrity Divas!

EXCITING NEWS!!! Ann from Kid Shots called me a little bit ago. They are moving from Gastonia to our town, Cherryville....She wanted to know if she could use the picture of Chloee and LuLu in the front window as a display!!! I SAID OF COURSE!!! I WOULD BE OBLIGED!

I am such a proud Mommy right now! Proud of both Chloee and the cutest Yorkie around! Congratulations Chloee and LuLu! My two local celebrities!! {What's the cutest is that I ACTUALLY have a shirt for LuLu that says "Local Celebrity" HA!}

**Just a note..Chloee and LuLu are about the same age {in human years}. We got LuLu when she was a little over 7 months old in 2007 for mine and Chloee's EARLY Christmas present....We HEART LuLu {Lucy}

**I'm thinking she's going to use the one of Chloee standing and holding LuLu..I had that one {and the one with our rings on her toes} made into a 16x20...I hope so, it's my favorite!!

Last Night..

Last night.....when Chloee and I went to bed {and Daddy had already tucked us in} Chloee turns to me and says..."um, Momma...um, tomorrow, um, um, Can you take me to daycare??"..and I said yes, as long as you promise to get up early enough. And she agreed. So I took her to daycare this AM.

By the way, Chloee slept in her room until the "big girl bed" came along...now Daddy sleeps in it and Chloee and I sleep in my bed. We have slowly approached this situation with "when you turn 4, you are going to start sleeping in your bed"...We'll see. I love sleeping with her though. It won't be long and she won't want to anymore, so I see it as I'm just taking in as much love from my baby as I can right now!

Also, Chloee and I have a schedule at night..we 1st say Bedtime Prayers as follows:

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take..God Bless everybody in the world and please bless Beverly..{then she tells me..."now say your words Mommy"..and my words right now are about Beverly and her family}


And then we sing Jesus Loves Me...some nights we are tired and forget {to do either}, but we've done a pretty good job remembering.

**She has stopped doing this but a year or so ago when we would sing Jesus Loves Me..we would have to say "Yes, Jesus Love Mommy and Daddy and Chloee and LuLu"...haaa, can't forget that!!

MOTHER~DAUGHTER WEEKEND 6.11.10 - 6.13.10

Just a PREVIEW...The two middle pictures will be 16x20's {The 3rd one over with her sitting down, she actually has our wedding rings on her toe...beautiful picture!!} The 2nd one with her standing, holding LuLu...really "captures" a day to day moment of her and LuLu. And that is what I was going for. If Chloee is holding LuLu, it normally looks JUST like that.

Chloee with Melissa at her graduation party Saturday..

Chloee sleeping Friday afternoon, on the way home from having pictures made of her and LuLu..{outfit has already been changed..thank goodness..note blue face and blue sucker}

Mine and Chloee's weekend began EARLY! Friday, I took Chloee and LuLu to have their pictures made. Saturday...Melissa {the absolute best babysitter ever} graduated from Cherryville High. We went to her graduation party Saturday afternoon. Daddy had left Friday evening for his annual boat poker run trip in Santee, so he missed the festivities at home. Chloee and I went Sunday to Hickory && shopped at the new TJ MAX..we got LuLu a "posh" new bed..{leopard print} oohlaalaa. AND Chloee some nail polishes {that we fought about that evening because she wanted to paint her nails herself}...Then we trollied to Old Navy where I found Chloee a terry cloth bathing suit cover up & she found herself and $10.00 soccer ball {which was on sale for $5.99 when we rang out, yesss.} And THENN, because Chloee insisted on having biscuits and "taters" as she calls them, and I correct her with potatoes...lol...we went and ate at Cracker Barrel. I would have hit up KFC, but we had that the day before because she wanted "taters" and biscuits...Cracker Barrel was nice, enjoyed that a lot with just Chloee. As we left, I let her buy candy as promised. None other than Pez and Pez refills {something about Pez, it always pops up...Easter, Valentine's, Christmas, Mother-Daughter Weekends} I think it might be more MY infatuation with PEZ? Because I DID point them out to her...and she agreed...I would have to say that my weekend was great. A great weekend with total focus on my daughter. Although we did miss DADDY and we were glad to see him come home!

P.S. **GIRLS TRIP TO CHARLESTON JUNE 25TH - 27TH**....We'll see if Bill has as much excitement as we did on his Father-Daughter Weekend!!
