California Trip

Last week Zoe and I took a trip to visit my family in California. We flow... which wasn't the best of experiences for Zoe!!! Luckily I had Zoe with me because we were running a little late and the airport was packed.... they let us go right through the line!!! She was really good on the flight until we started down... then it was so bad!!!! She scram her head off for about 20 minutes... even the flight attendant came over to make sure she was OK!! So embarrassing!!! But I was so happy to see my Dad sitting at the airport waiting for us!!! She wasn't really sure about my family. Luckily for me, my sister Kim was in California visiting also and Zoe would go to her. Kim left to go back home on Thursday... by then at least she would go to my Mom and sometimes my Dad!! Zoe was so tired from the flight that this was how we found her by the time we got home!
That night... we had a birthday party for Zoe. My Aunt Linda let us use her back yard and we had a swimming party!!! Zoe loved the water... she was a little fish!!!

We invited all my family out to swim. This is Zoe and I with my sister Kim, my cousin Michelle, her daughter Sammie, and my cousins little boy Jett!! They all had fun in the water!!!

We had cupcakes....

Which ended up an all the little kids faces!!!

Then we opened gifts! Zoe wasn't to interested in the gifts!!!!

On Tuesdays my family does taco Tuesdays, even though its usually not tacos!! We went to Dos Coyotes... which is one of Greer's favorite places to eat when we got to California!!! Zoe was playing with her glasses and I showed my Dad that I had another pair in my bag... next thing I knew he had the other pair on!!!!

The rest of the week we kind of a relaxing week. We played Five Crowns a ton!!! On Thursday, we walked around the mall. Grandma and Grandpa got to help Zoe... until their backs hurt them too bad!!!

When we stopped for food, my Dad put Zoe on top of the table and she grabbed onto the umbrella pole!! NO SHE IS NOT A POLE DANCER!!!!

Saturday morning we went to the Folsom Zoo. It was fun to watch Zoe look at the animals! Behind us in the cage was Zoe's favorite... MONKEYS!!!

There was a deer that walked right up to us! My Dad didn't really look at the signs every where and decided to share Zoe's snacks with the deer!!!!

Then we saw the bear!!! There were 2 big bears in this area! By the way Zoe was barking at all of the animals.... we are working on that!!!

A fun little photo opportunity!!!

Overall it was such a great time with my family!! I love and miss them already!!!

Happy Birthday!!

My baby girl is now 1 year old!! Can you believe it cause I can't!!!
We took Zoe to the store and put toys next to her and the two that she liked the most we bought for her birthday! We also got her a high chair!

She liked to play with the balls!

Zoe has found her muscles!! We ask her where her muscles are and she tenses up!!

We went up to Greer's Moms house for a little family party. And she got tons of toys!! Her favorite were the ones with balls... can you tell!?!?!

She loved all of her new toys!

We got this cake cause it was the only cute one that Maccy's had but also the little pink girl is Zoe and of course Elmo!

We gave Zoe her own cake to eat up how ever she wanted to!!!

She loved it... well she loved the frosting!!!

But she didn't like that Aunt Kay put some on her nose!!!

After our little family party we went home and saw that our neighbors were out back taking pictures. Jersey is the other cute little girl. Zoe and her share a birthday!!! They are so cute!!!

Jersey wanted to give Zoe kisses and Zoe wasn't too excited about that!!!

Overall it was a great day!! We got to spend together celebrating the birth of our sweet baby girl... We love you baby Zoe!!!!

Bradon's Wedding

This weekend was Bradon and Michelle's wedding. They were married in the Seattle temple! We all wanted to go so we decided to drive the 16+ hours to Seattle Washington! Here are some photos from the long trip! At one of the gas stations ... the employee gave Zoe a sucker!!
But that wasn't the only thing she wanted to suck on!!!

We went swimming as often as we could!

The boys jumping into the pool!

We acually stayed right outside of Seattle, and we had to take a farry over to town... It was beautiful!!

While waiting outside for them to come out... we took a picture infront of the temple. It was really cold but it made some cute photos!!

Here are the newleyweds!!!!

Her shoes were so cute!!

They love Zoe and she adores both of them!!!

We we supposed to drive back on Saturday and Sunday, but we decided we needed one day out of the car. We took the day to walk around Seattle and explore! We went on their Duck Tour which was amazing! This picture is the tram to the tour.

The Duck tour was a land and water tour! The guy was so much fun and knew a ton about the city! Zoe liked the fact that the bus didn't have any windows and loved the wind in her face!! At the end of the tour we got these duck lips to quack at other tours!!!

Just another picture and the beautiful day!!!

Zoe was amazing the whole trip!! She was such a good girl on this long drive!! We gave her whatever we could to keep her happy... even straws!!!

Random Cuteness

I just adore my sweet baby girl! I couldn't have asked for a better baby!!! I love to take pictures of her!!! These first ones are of her when we first got her cow girl boots... LOVE THEM!!! She walks all over the house holding on to whatever she can find!!
She is stretching before the big walk!!!

Love that smile!!!

Greer's Aunt Kay loves Zoe! She made her this little monkey dress... and gave her the root beer!!

Aunt Brittney is really good at giving Zoe snacks... she loves coco puffs!

Zoe got into my bag and found my lip gloss and her Velcro curlers!!
