Chloe Dancing

Saturday, Chloe and her dance team performed at a benefit. In Chloe's age group, there were only two girls to show {her and another girl}. They danced to Alvin and the Chipmunks and had a good time.

Later, mom, Courtney, and I went to Wal-Mart and we all broke off and went our separate ways. Chloe {still wearing her dance outfit} decided she would go with me. Normally she is pretty bashful, but Saturday she was standing in the buggy while doing her dance moves and singing. So not like her, but so funny! Mom said the outfit must have given her the extra oomph to do those things. We were walking around having a good time {both of us getting looks for acting goofy} and she said "Aunt Cassie, I wish you could be in our family." I told her I am in her family and she said "nuh-uh, we're Wilbanks and you're not. I've got Brian Wilbanks and Courtney Wilbanks and Chloe Wilbanks, and you're just Aunt Cassie". I almost cried from laughing at her. She was SO serious about it. Then she said "see, you're not in my family". Out of the mouths of babes...

Where Should I Start?

May 20- Letters to Juliet with Jenessa- I really liked that movie! It was predictable, but funny and sweet too! There were woman 50+ years old and teens 15 years old watching it. Almost everyone cried at one point during the movie {but not me!}.

May 22- Chloe had a dance "thing" {not recital} in Sears parking lot. Her group danced to Shake Rattle & Roll and she shook it!! I was so impressed that she got out there in front of all those people and danced! Later that afternoon, Brad and I met up with Jesse {a high school friend of Brad's} and went to the Pickwick drag strip! I even got to ride in Jesse's car {ok, so I like to go fast}.

May 23- We had lunch at Mama Lynn's and I snapped a picture of Chloe

May 24- Brad had another doctor's appt in Columbus. The doctor said he's improved, but he still didn't clear him at 100%. We'll go back July 7th and hopefully he'll clear him then! We also celebrated 8 years since our first date :) HA!

May 27- Mom had her first appt with the Shea Clinic in Memphis. The doctor started her on a steroid injection and she had two more injections on Friday, the 28th. Savannah Grace got admitted to the hospital in Tupelo on the 27th also.

May 28- Savannah had her appendix removed!

May 31- Happy Memorial Day!! We didn't do much to celebrate, but we did make homemade vanilla ice cream! YUM! We all know ice cream is my favorite!

June 1- I got a new vacuum! Yes, I'm excited over a vacuum! You would be too if you had a 170lb shedding Mastiff in your house! I wanted a Dyson Animal Ball so badly, but we can't justify that much money right now :( {I try to remind myself that Brad really did need that surgery! HA!} This one is wonderul! I really do like it, but it's embarrassing how dirty my floors were. Guess I should have replaced my old one sooner. I vacuumed twice that day and Brad vacuumed the next. Nerds.

June 3- went to the eye doctor for my routine check up and was told my sight is a little worse {he tells me that every single time I go see him} so I got a stronger prescription and hope to pick out new frames soon!

June 5- Brad and I help Levi move some of his furniture into his new apartment in Farmington. Then we went to Cafe Mike's to throw darts. It was my first time to throw and surprisingly I did fairly well. Ok, so I either did really well or terrible. No in between with me!

June 6- I went with Brad and Levi to Cullman, AL. They went skydiving!!! And they both survived to tell about it! :)

June 8- Some of the ladies I work with went out to eat (Mi Toro) then to watch Sex and the City 2. I would not recommend it.

June 10- I went shopping and lucked up on 5 new shirts and 2 pairs of earrings! Chloe had dance recital practice from 5-8pm!

June 11- Savannah turned 14 {tear!} and Chloe had recital practice from 5-830 again!

June 12- The big day! Chloe's recital! All the dancers had to be there at 2 to get dressed, hair, make-up and to get ready. The recital started at 3 and was over at 6. Talk about some tired babies!! And tired "mamas"! Chloe did really well though! People kept complimenting her and she told me "I don't want it to be over. I want to keep dancing!"

June 13- Amos turned #2!! We now have a teenager {2 in human years * 7=14 in dog years, right?}. Since he has a wheat allergy I couldn't find any special doggie treats in Corinth. We celebrated with extra treats at our house! I also went to a baby shower at church for a girl I went to high school with. She's having a girl (Allison Elizabeth "Allie") and I've never seen so much frilly pink before {insert gag}. I told Lori that if I ever have a baby and it's a girl, I will make them put in the bulletin "NO PINK".

June 14- Chloe's last t-ball game! She really enjoyed playing this season, but last night was SO hot!

That catches me and you up, I think!

Dixieland Dance Pizza Party

Tuesday, March 23rd, Chloe's dance group met at Pizza Inn to show off their dance moves and have a pizza party. Chloe was hestitant at first, but the she got out there and had a great time!

Chloe getting ready to dance

There were so many little dancers (and it was so loud and so hot in the building) that we had to move outside. Much better!

I took several more, but blogger is being difficult to deal with!
