Golf Balls or Bust

 Now that we live next to the golf course, golf ball hunting has become a nightly ritual at our house. It's actually becoming a little obsessive if you ask me. This is now what Nate considers "date night." Such a thrill looking for that little white ball (read with sarcasm) I had to go buy a 5 gallon bucket to contain them all..they were taking over my garage...we will never have to buy another golf ball..ever. And they are pretty pricey little suckers..Connor looks them up online..I think the most expensive one we have was originally like 5 bucks...who spends 5 bucks on one golf ball? Anyways so if you are out our way in the evenings, you will most likely see a herd of kids on bikes or scooters, looking in the dirt and under bushes..oh and a man in brown with his own butt poking out from under the bushes..such a kid at heart.

Chloe and more

 Fact- Chloe is now 8 months old and weighs almost a whopping 20 lbs. She is still a terrible sleeper and is a little high maintenance. How did she get so big? Seriously, this time stuff has got to slow down..and from what I hear from the old fogies, is that it just starts to go faster and faster..phooey!

Fact- Her favorite expression is to make an "O" with her mouth..she does it all the time
Fact- Chloe now has 7 teeth. 4 on top and 3 on bottom. She started out with her 2 bottom teeth and just fangs on top and I'm not gonna lie...I was pretty excited when the the two front ones came in..so what..I'm a little vain

She is already at a full blown crawl..she started a couple of weeks ago..my earliest crawler..and yes, I am bragging..I am the mom..I have those rights

Fact- Apparently, I now need to watch her more closely since I came in from watering the plants and found that she was screaming from the bottom of the stairs this morning..sorry Chloe

Fact- She can stand for a few seconds..but it freaks her out because she will realize she has nothing to hold onto

Fact- She was totally over me taking her pictures
Fact- The other day this cheesehead came running in just in tears. While she cried she told me, Connor called me a crybaby and I'm not a crybaby..I'm Maggie Jane!"

Fact- these girls love their dad...and as I am typing this, Ellie is reading this and says,"hey I love dad too" Then she noticed the title and is mad it's all about Chloe. You have to be fair with her around!
