Happy Birthday Aaron

After the Father Daughter dance, the Apples invited the grown ups over for their own event! We had a fancy Happy Birthday Surprise Party for Aaron Pettus.  While we waited for the birthday boy, we took some pics :)

Father Daughter Dance

February 2nd was the Longview Rec Center's Father Daughter Dance. Both Chloe and Cami had so much fun picking out their dress and getting dressed up for their date with daddy!

SNOW DAY!

Well, it wasn't much, but on Friday February 1st, we got a snow day!  It was too powdery to make a snowman, but Cami still managed to make a snow angel and Chloe managed to dance! Sweet Koda wasn't too sure what to do with it! But, at least Mommy got pictures!

Happy Birthday Johnell and Teresa!!!

Two of my dearest friends turned a year older in January. So, us "amigas" went out to celebrate Teresa Johnson and Johnell Jackson at Amigos!

EXCEL convention

We had planned to get back to Tennessee in time for Chloe to dance at the Chik fil A bowl, but she got the FLU instead! She just started feeling better in time for the EXCEL dance convention. There were many dancers from the T.V. show "So You Think You Can Dance" teaching the girls new moves. (Some of us moms were a little star struck) but, Chloe got their autographs and had a wonderful experience.

Happy FLU Year!

For New Year's Eve we had planned on getting together with friends to bring in the new year....but since Chloe and Koda had the FLU we had to change plans. 

So, to bring in the New Year Carpenter 5 Style, Mommy got happy meals for the kids and sushi for the grown ups.  We played a mean game of uno and then....went to bed!

Hoping 2013 will bring a much HEALTHIER new year!
