Princess Party

Chloe was invited to her first princess party last weekend. The princess of honor was her friend Bayli from her preschool class. It was so fun to see her playing and jumping with her friends. With a little encouragement from her friend Alberto, Chloe jumped in the Boyce house all by herself.

Halloween

Chloe celebrated her 3rd Halloween dressed as Jessie from Toy Story.  We couldn't believe when she wanted to ride her very own Bullseye.  She was strapped in and couldn't get enough of the pony rides. 

or the corn on the cob.

Special thanks to Grandma T who made Chloe's Jessie pants and hat, complete with red braid.

On Halloween night, Chloe enjoyed handing out candy to all the kids in the neighbor hood.  She loved all the princesses and was scared of the ghosts.  We were really nervous when a bigger boy came to our house dressed as werewolf, but she just took one look at him and said "Oh a Ruffy" 

Chloe even went trick or treating with her Dino Dad, Rex.

Bookworm

Chloe loves her books and lately wants all with her all the time. 

This is the pile in Mommy and Daddy's Room

Another pile in her bedroom.

And she insists on sleeping with them as well.

 Ruff Ruff and Books are all this little one needs for a successful naptime.

Chloe has been reading so much and she is full of new knowledge.  She can count to 10 in both english and spanish.  Ask her who lives in the ocean and she'll respond--Shark, Whale, Octopus, Turtles, Fishes.  Every night she asks about the moon and wants to know where the moon is and she loves all the pumpkins out for halloween.

Chloe's 1st Haircut

September 10, 2011

With school pictures coming up, we took Chloe to get her first official haircut!

We went to cool cuts where Chloe picked out what movie she wanted to watch and wear she wanted to sit.

She picked out the movie Cars but would only sit on Daddy's lap instead of in one of the cars they have.

-notice that Daddy is the one wearing the cape =)

But once she was given a lollypop her attitude changed completely.

After her haircut was all done, she wanted to sit in the car all by herself.

Please Mommy

Swiffer Sweatheart!

Chloe loved helping Mommy and Daddy get the rental house reader for the renters.

She swiffered all the floors while Mommy was mopping.

Beach Beauty

Chloe loved playing with the beach ball!

Oh No! The ocean is coming.

Chloe liked the idea of the ocean, but didn't like the water coming so close.

Let's try frisbee

Catch Daddy!

Our Little Soccer Tot

Its tough to be a Phoenix kid during the summer.  With 115 degree temps outside, Chloe has been watching lots of movies and participating in a soccertots class at a local gym. 

She is supposed to be doing stretches with Coach Tyler, but instead she enjoys rolling her soccer ball to Daddy.

Chloe likes everything neat and lined her cones up all in a row.

Now it is time to kick the cones.

More kicking.

And more kicking.

The kicking stopped--time for funny time!

More kicking.

We had a great 8 weeks, Chloe was timid for some of the classes, but by the 8th week she finally got the hang of it.  We'll try it again in a few months. 

Summertime!

Summer means popsicles and homemade popsicles are even better.  Chloe enjoyed hers on the 4th of July!

Chloe Originals

A few of our favorite works of art by Chloe.  These are from the toddler collection on loan from a box in her room. 

The Tree of Life

Notice how the trunk of the tree is an outstretched hand reaching out into the green foliage.

Untitled

The use of color and texture is just amazing.

The Heart

The brush strokes mimic movement showing the rushing blood through the heart.

Snowflake

From Chloe's Blue Period last winter.

This is Chloe's stab at collage.

Fireworks

Do you see how she was able to capture the firework in the center exploding as it starts to fade the sparks show brighter.

Summer Fire

Inspired by the Arizona wildfires.
