My Asian Princess Chloe

L-O-V-E*

2009-07-03T23:58:00.000-05:00

This girl has my entire heart and more ♥. I love her more than life itself. She is growing to be such a beautiful little girl inside & out & is soooo funny. I look at her with amazement sometimes because I cannot believe how lucky I am to have her apart of my life. I have done alot in my life so far but this little girl is by far the B-E-S-T* thing I have ever done & deciding to stand up for something I wanted so bad has so many countless rewards each day. I look at her and I see L-O-V-E* ♥ & not a day goes by that I don't think about just how lucky I am.

Before and After

This months theme is before and after meaning you post a picture you took raw and show the tweaked version of it. so here is my submission. I love this picture, i took it of Chloe watching the dragon boat races last month.

Before:

After:

Ok here comes the part where im supposed to tell what all i did to this picture but to be honest i really dont remember everything so im just going to go with what i remember LOL. Well to begin with I used Picasa 3 to crop it then i used the glow feature to bring out the highlights in the picture. After that I decided i wanted to do a color splash of her red ribbons because of the symbolic meaning of "the red thread" and China adoption. I just photobucket to black and white everything in the picture except the ribbons.

Nikon D-40

Aperture: f/9

Exposure: 1/320 sec

My big girl!

I couldnt imagine my life without her && i wonder what we did before she came into our lives. It feels like she has always been here. The love I have for her is like no other. In my eyes she is the definition of perfect!

The other night Chloe was in my room playing and I got my camera out and told her to say cheese and this is the face i got.... what a little ham ;)

And this is The Princess on her horse "Liberty". That horse takes alot of abuse from an active three year old heh.

Catch up post #1-birthday, halloween, preschool & horses

First of all welcome to my *new* blog! Things have been great and Chloe is getting so big. Im going to play catch up within the next few posts so my thoughts might be jumbled..there is just alot of stuff to catch up on lol. Chloe turned *three* back in November!

She had a horse themed birthday party! This is what mom and dad got her. she loves it!

Giddy up cowgirl =]. Miss Chloe was a cowgirl for halloween

I cant believe how smart our girl is! She started preschool last fall at our church and that has done tremendous things for her. She had a very hard time when we would leave her, she would scream and cry and try to latch back on to us but after about a month she would walk in on her own. The pictures on my header are her school pictures for the year. I think they are beautiful!

*Getting ready to leave for school!*

As you noticed my new blog is "My asian princess Chloe". Well she is DEFINITELY a princess and i wouldnt have it any other way! If you ask her if shes a princess she quickly says "yeah" heh. Love love love it!

Just got back from a friends princess party

Ever since Chloe was about a year and a half she has been obsessed with horses, i mean OBSESSED! If it has something to do with horses then Chloe will be there. Our house has literally become a "stable" in itself because of the mass amounts of horses.

Just a few of her MANY horses! lol

Ill continue my next catch up post in a few days =]
