Chloe's first day of tap and ballet

Chloe had her first day of dance today. She was such a big girl. This year I have to sit outside of her room while she dances her heart out, so I have no action shots. She had to change her own shoes in the middle of her lesson. She appeared to be having a great time. It was so cute to watch her tap! Action pictures to come when mommy finally gets to go in class and observe!

Carving some meat for Gyros.

Sandy and Anastasia got a little Sea Sick

I can't stand the fact that I have yet to post all about my Greece trip. It has been almost two months since I went. So instead of finishing day by day, I am just going to post some of the highlights.

We were able to go to Corinth one day, which was amazing! I need to Cole to explain the Corinth pictures b/c I honestly can't remember what they were??? We also went to an Island one day. We got to go to the beach, but the water was not that pretty.

Greece was amazing! I am so glad I went! I really had to rely on God taking care of me and my kids the whole time! I am thankful for the opportunity to visit this place I have heard so much about!

31 Years

Cole turned the big 3-1 last Tuesday. We tried to celebrate as much as possible. The Saturday before his birthday we headed to Waffle House, one of his favorites to eat some waffles. The good thing about the Waffle House in our town is it is smoke free! That day he opened one of his gifts which was a grill cover for his new grill.

On the actual birthday we headed to Chick-fil-a for some yummy free breakfast! I would not be surprised if the people there cringe when we drive up b/c we never pay for anything!

Later that day we headed to Texas. We spent the evening with my family. Cole got to go to his favorite restaurant, Pappadeux. The food was of course great! We then headed to Cold Stone for a birthday treat!

We headed to my parents house to open gifts. Cole also got a speaker system for his IPODS and a neck massager, plus some money!

The next day we headed to Cole's grandparents for a birthday party for Cole and his brother, Blake. We grilled out steaks and Cole got his favorite mint choc. chip ice cream cake from Baskins.

I think he had a pretty good celebration. We then headed to inner city Dallas for our church's mission trip.

Half Birthday

I know people think it is silly to celebrate half birthdays, but I don't really care! I think anything I can celebrate about someone I love is worth it! And I do love this little girl!!!! July 29th Chloe turned 3 1/2. She got her very own half cake. She said her favorite thing about the day was the pink hearts she got to eat! I am so thankful God gave us this little blessing!
