Chloe's 1st Birthday/Grandparents Visit

Wow! Our little bug turned one on August 12! Her surfer girl birthday party was great fun even though it wasn't warm enough for the kids to play in the pool. We were thankful the rain held off until the party was almost over!

Here are a few party shots:


Grandma and "Pa-Pa" Shearer came all the way from Washington to be with
Chloe for her first birthday! We were so blessed to have them share in
this special milestone with us!


My friend, Melissa, made Chloe's surfboard cake. It was awesome!


A cake all of her own


Apparently she liked it!


Some of Chloe's little friends


Lovin' all the attention!


All partied out!

We played tourist again and hauled Grandpa and Grandma all over Colorado Springs to show them our favorite spots. We enjoyed every second of their week here! We wish we all lived closer! Whenever the Shearer family gets together, our camera gets a break for the week. All the pictures in this post are compliments of Grandpa and Grandma...

We celebrated Chloe's actual birthday by going to the zoo.

Having a snack with daddy



Not so sure about that wet tongue licking her hand!


Trying out her b-day present from Mommy and Daddy


The neighbor kids wanted to try it out, too!

We braved the windy road up to the top of Pike's Peak. The drive is so beautiful! It actually snowed a little bit while we were at the summit.







Thanks for coming to see us, Mom and Dad/Grandpa and Grandma!
We love you so much!
