Do not mess with a sleeping child!

Do you think it is time for a diaper change?

Chocolate anyone?

Serious chocolate fiend!!!

Chloe's birthday

Chloe will always remember her 5th birthday....just not for the reasons I would hope. She will always remember that her mom didn't take enough pictures, didn't make the day quite as special as it should have been. Alas the birthday celebrations were crippled by a mom who had to rely heavily on everyone else to make it happen. Sorry Chloe, next year will be better I promise!
Here are the few pictures of the birthday party. Chloe decided that she wanted a make over party. She wanted to have a nail salon, make up station, and hair styling. For party favors we found some cute purses and filled them with mirrors, lip gloss, and nail polish for all 15 girls.

Chloe with her birthday friends:

The new bike. Funny story #1. All of Chloe's presents (with the exception of the bike) were wrapped by Trent's chair. Chloe walked past... then turned back around when it dawned on her that those were HER presents. "Mom, you forgot to wrap one!!" Hmmm... I wonder why?


One of Chloe's favorite presents was her own bottle of perfume! She has been saving her money for her own bottle of perfume. By the day's end...half the bottle was gone. Needless to say she loved it!


Funny story #2. There is a yummy snow cone place by our house called Surf Shack. Sadly every September we say goodbye to Surf Shack goodness and anxiously await its summer arrival. This year Surf Shack opened early (May 15th). We could hardly wait and talked about it often with our friends. One such friend, Tabi, loves Surf Shack too and gave Chloe aSurf Shack gift certificate for her birthday present. This picture was taken upon opening the gift certificate. She was a little excited about it!

If it ain't broke....but it is

May 14 was a momentous day in the Moss household. First and foremost Chloe turned 5 years old. I can't believe that all 31 pounds of her is that old! She would have preferred to jump from 4 to 14 but alas that could not happen. She was very excited to wake up and find her very own 2 wheeler as well as some other fun presents. Unfortunately that bike had to be taken back and a new one purchased but she was still excited to see it sitting in the front room when she awoke.
After a yummy breakfast and taking the kids to school we came back home to get ready for the day. We were planning on taking the bike back to Toys R Us and getting a new one, picking up one of Chloe's best friends and then going to lunch with my dad and sister. After getting the bike and Annabelle in the car I ran inside to get something else from inside. ( I don't even remember what it was now.) I was hustling down the front stairs when suddenly I was on the ground! I apparently forgot how to walk down the stairs. After sitting on the stairs for a minute I thought I was okay. We hobbled to Toys R Us, picked up Tabi, and met my dad at Chili's. By the time we got to Chili's I was in severe pain. We figured it was time to go get an x ray and low and behold I broke my foot in 3 places. One of the breaks is borderline for needing surgery. They will re x ray it in 4 weeks to find out for sure. I am supposed to be completely non weight bearing for that wohle 4 weeks. What great way to start our summer!!!! Everyone (especially Trent) has been AWESOME about picking up the slack. We have even had people bringing us dinner for the past week! Maybe I could break the other one too.....I could get used to all this pampering!
