I pulled out some of Chloe's clothes from storage that I had been waiting for her to grow into. We have some friends coming over for dinner tonight so I thought Chloe should look extra cute :)

This was taken last night after Chloe and I nibbled on a chocolate bunny that Brad gave us. Yum! It's pretty safe to say that my face looked just as bad Chloe's, but of course that's no surprise to anyone who knows me, my love of chocolate, and my inability to keep it off my face. :)

Today we had a wonderful time at church. Although during sacrament meeting , Chloe was having a hissy fit until the Butlers came and sat with us. She became the perfect angel in their laps. I told the Butlers they were my Sunday miracle :) Yesterday Brad and Jared had about 8 hours of exams but they did great. They're very excited to be done with the semester and therefore their Bachelor's degrees. Yesterday was also our ward Easter party and Chloe had a blast running around and making friends with all the other little kids. While I grabbed a bite to eat for us, Chloe managed to find the table where they were coloring hard boiled eggs and she stole one. I found her on the floor with a crushed hard boiled egg in her lap and she was eating it. It was the cutest thing I have ever caught her doing but I'm so sad I wasn't able to get a picture of it.

Having fun at the park! She loved to go exploring and then occasionally come back for a bite of string cheese. It was so peaceful and relaxing to lounge in such a huge park all by ourselves, especially since I had jogged there and got a great workout. We had 2 soccer fields, 2 baseball fields, and a kids' playground all to ourselves.


I finally found soft, stretchy pony tail holders and Chloe looks so cute! She's been so fun whenever she zips around the house and knocks on all the doors to see if anyone is behind them. She especially likes to see if Jared will come out of his room to play.
Yesterday Brad, Jared, and I decided to be a little adventerous and try Korean food since we've never had it before. It was great! Even Chloe loved it. I made sure we didn't order anything spicy so both Chloe and I could enjoy everything.
It's a little chillier today but I'm still hoping to take Chloe on a jog in her stroller.

Happy General Conference!!! We've really been enjoying conference so far today and now I'm making some gingerbread cookies for neighbors and then some chicken and cheese covered chips for us for the next session of conference. Brad's going to make some amazing hot wings too. It's always so amazing to listen to Heavenly Father's prophets and to become closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
This morning a book came in the mail for me to help with my medical transcription. It's a list of 200,000 surgical words. No definitions, just a bunch of words in alphabetical order. I'm super stoked to put it to the test on Monday.

Happy April 1st! Today is the most beautiful day!! This morning I took advantage of my recent love of exercise and decided to take Chloe out for a jog. Well, I jogged and she "strolled" in her stroller. We went to the park and played out on the grass. Chloe loved the feel of grass in her hands but didn't like it on touching her bare feet. She kept trying to hold her feet in the air so they wouldn't touch. After a while she liked it and decided to walk around.
Yesterday I witnessed my first car accident. Don't worry, no one was hurt. It wasn't a fender bender but it sure was a bumper crusher. Last night, I went to step class again but Kenzie couldn't make it and I was the only one there. Usually there's at least 7 of us. It was just me and the instructor for the first 15 minutes before one other person came. Our instructor is one of the sweetest people I've ever met so it was nice to get to know her a little better.
I don't believe I mentioned earlier that I got my medical transcription scores back. I got a 97% on the objective portion but I only got an 80% on the transcription portion so I have to retake it. I get to retake it a week from today so I've been studying hard.
Brad and his buddy Scott continue to workout at the gym almost every morning at 6am. Way to go! I know I couldn't get the motivation to workout that early in the morning.
