CHLOEE'S 1ST SNORT!
OMGOSH!! I can't believe I almost forgot about this! I was laughing at one of the girls up front at work today and I snorted so it reminded me..so I rushed back to my office to blog it! LAST NIGHT, Chloee and I were laying in the bed and I can't remember what we were talking about that made us both laugh..and out of nowhere Chloee snorted! HAAA, I said "Chloee, you just snorted!!" And we both started laughing hysterically again..well, I have never really heard Chloee do the really, really, really deep belly laugh {the one that is uncontrollable} before! {Or at least that I can call off hand right now}...She was laughing so deep and so hard at herself that it made me laugh uncontrollably!!! It was a "CLASSIC MOMMY DAUGHTER MOMENT". Love you Chloee..to the moon and back.
IT'S MY PARTY AND I'LL 'BRAG' IF I WANT TO..
BIG BIRTHDAY WEEKEND AHEAD FOR MUAHHH...
Tonight we plan to go see 30 Aut Sixx perform downtown in Cherryville. This is a local band that is AWESOME. Me, Chloee, Bill...& Amanda, Russell & the boys are going.
Tomorrow Chloee and I are going to Kelly G's pool during the day while Bill plays in a golf tournament. Amanda & the boys are coming, Holly & Bella, Jennifer & her girls...so Chloee should NOT run out of things to do! {KellyG's Birthday is August 2nd so she is having a little 'shindig' throughout the day and into the evening}
Then SUNDAY we are going out on LKN to actually "celebrate" my birthday. This is what I planned for my birthday. We were initially going to take my mom's boat {she is out of town until August 15th} but we are worried about the shifter having recent "issues". So we have decided to rent a pontoon. EXCITED!! Me, Bill, Chloee...Amanda, Russell & the boys...Holly & Bella {Justin too if he gets off work in time}...And Hannah & Taylor are all going..{P.S. Hannah just found out she's preggers!!! YAY!}

Can't wait for some good times and great memories!! I had told Bill that renting the boat would be just fine to be my birthday present. And of course he just "couldn't resist" {and I'm not COMPLAINING!!} I received a new Nikon camera yesterday! Excited about that too!! Since I lost my "waterproof" camera in March at Jannett's bachelorette party {along with my memory card that had Chloee's 3rd birthday party on it and I HADN'T gotten ANY of the pictures off of the memory card yet..errrr} AND my camera before that I left outside that "wasn't waterproof" and it ruined for a few months...and THEN decided to start working again AFTER I purchased my "waterproof" one..Shoo that's a mouthful..But anyway..Bill now has the "not waterproof" camera at his shop using it and I have a SNAZZY NEW NIKON. Lovely!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! AND LOVE 'VUU' CHLOEE!!! Thank you for finally telling me Happy Birthday this morning! She said she was "too sleepy" to tell me when she woke up....haa....so right before I got out of bed to get in the shower, she said with a grumpy face and voice...."Happy Birthdayuhhhh" ...Sweet girl...and then we played the "I love you thiiissss much, toooooo much, to the moon and back" game..you know where I say it, she repeats it, she says it, I repeat it?? {You get the picture}... And then Bill says "okayyy" {like that's enough} haaa..he's just kidding of course...and I say "hey this is our game we're playing..don't worry about it okay?" What a wonderful start to a wonderful DAY!

Zac Brown Concert 8.21.10
I purchased mine and Bill's Zac Brown Tickets today! We are going for Kelly Duckworth's BIRTHDAY August 21st!! Excited!!
SIGNATURE CLUB A
Sheila Dellinger surprised me with this jewel too. I "jokingly" told her a few months back when she received hers in the mail that "I wanted one for my birthday"...haha...and she really got me one! She orders off of HSN/QVC all the time and always has something "new" to show..love her and all of her new things! Thank you Sheila!
Anne of Green Gables
My Birthday is tomorrow! And my mother met me for lunch today at House of Pizza in Lincolnton..LOVE their Fret Free Fajita Wrap...yumm. We have met there the past few times...hence another tradition maybe? Well, I had told my mom a few weeks ago that I had watched one the Anne of Green Gables series on television and LOVED IT! I had never seen it before and didn't realize that so many other people knew about it! {I was in the dark I guess}...Well the part of the series I caught was mid-way through and only had like 30 minutes of it left. But I was SO DRAWN IN!! Come to find out, there is SO MUCH MORE TO SEE!! So this is what I requested for my birthday from Moms...and I received! It's the 5 disc collection and I just can't wait to lay up one Sunday and watch it all the way through! Not to mention pass it down to my beautiful daughter too! Thanks Moms!

OCEAN LAKES 2010
THE OCEAN
Okay so I have some time to update on the beach trip. First off, Chloee did go on the beach for the 1st day...being "scared" of the water b/c MaMaw told her there were sharks in there..she wouldn't take to the waves so much. She went again the next day but didn't have anything to do with the water again. Luckily Melissa was with us and she's not so fond of the beach either..so she and Chloee would take off and do their own thing. Which gave Bill and I a break and time to spend with friends. So skipping over the rest of the week...Chloee finally decides the LAST day there that she wants to try the ocean out again. Terri Valentine takes her to the ocean and gets Chloee used to it. {For some reason someone other than parents...kids usually will take to them a little easier and try new things I think} ANY WHO...I look to the ocean and see Chloee jumping waves with Terri! I was so glad she was okay with it and having fun!!! Bill and I {and Heather Porter a whole BUNCH...LOL} would take turns holding her over the waves, etc....she went under one time with me b/c I lost a hold of her arm..it didn't scare her but she was ready to get out then. You would have thought I did it on purpose since I had been telling her to get out for 5 or so minutes prior to that. It was GREAT. Oh and also, the pictures of Chloee and Dayne being buried in the sand SAY IT ALL.
DINNER AND CARTOON CHARACTERS
Okay..so we went out to eat one night at Yamato on Boardwalk. Since we had to wait 2 1/2 hrs to eat we had a cartoon picture made of Chloee and I. Bill says we should do one every year. Sounds like a cute idea to me! I am going to get a frame for it to go in Chloee's room...guess we will start a tradition to go along with Ocean Lakes! Also, at dinner, I had initially THOUGHT that Chloee would enjoy the 'show' at Yamato..boy was I wrong! I had to back her chair all the way to the wall. She wasn't too fond of the fire. Note To Self: NEVER go to Yamato on Boardwalk again in the middle of July....Too hot inside, too many grills going and too crowded....
THE 'STRIP'
Chloee also went riding almost EVERY night with Melissa on the 'strip'..and SHE LOVED IT! Bill and I took her the last night and got a 1st hand show of exactly HOW MUCH she enjoyed it! She stood on my lap and danced away, sat on Daddy's lap and slapped hands...ohhh it was TOO CUTE!
ARCADE
Chloee and Melissa went to the arcade a couple different times throughout the week. Chloee would win 100's of tickets {which she called dollars} and wouldn't turn them in..she wanted to keep the tickets instead. Melissa talked her in to turning them in for prizes a couple times but Chloee would always keep a few tickets at least to bring back to the beach house.
PUTT-PUTT
Melissa & I {Bill had to go to the store} took Chloee to play putt-putt one morning with Dayne {Amanda and Russell brought him}..and it was SO cute to watch them play the game together!
