Up to Speed...

No, in case you were wondering, the Strongs have not fallen off the face of the earth. We've been pretty busy the past few months, so here is a quick update on our lives.

I got a job at Utah Valley Hospital on the Labor and Delivery unit. I've been busy with my orientation there...which has been interesting since I found out I was pregnant just after I found out I got the job. So its been LOTS of "fun" working while feeling like crap! Unfortunately this pregnancy has been a lot more difficult than my first. I am now 15 weeks and my due date is May 7! So just six more months of being pregnant.

Chloe Jo turned two in August. I can't believe how fast time flies by. I thought her first year went fast, but the second flew by. She's turning into a little girl. She is getting so big! It is so much fun though. Everyday is better and better. She has got the best personality and is learning new words everyday.

We had her birthday party at the park and had a balloon guy come and make balloon animals. He was a hit!

Since Mike and I are both working full time, my parents will take Chloe when our schedules overlap...they are our life savers! If it weren't for them, Chloe would be a couch potato since I have no energy and Mike is usually at work during the day. She has been to the zoo, parks, train rides, etc... Chloe sure loves the fun outings!

We had fun getting our pumpkins this year. We went to Hee Haw's which is just around the corner from us. We got to pick our pumpkins out of a huge pumpkin patch. Chloe liked the animals and the little tractor ride through the corn!



We went ice skating on Steven's birthday last month. It was tiring, but fun. Chloe got the hang of walking around in the ice skates...I was pretty impressed.


Halloween was fun this year! We went to "Monson Manor" and this year it was a spook alley train ride at their neighbors house down the street! It was so much fun and Chloe seemed to like it too. I was surprised, I thought it would scare her, but she did great. That night she was Tinkerbell. She loved her costume and even kept the headband in her hair all night.

On Halloween, Chloe was a Costco Front End Supervisor. My mom made the vest and my dad made the iron on patches. They did a great job. She looked so cute dressed up in "Daddy's work"!

(We'll have to find a better picture of her in the vest)

Hopefully that has brought you up to speed on what's been going on. I will try and be better at keeping postings up to date. They should at least be posted the month things happen! haha.
