First day of Gymnastics

I am such a proud mother today! It was Zoe's first day of gymnastics!! She just started parent and tot today and she did pretty good. She didn't like to sit still at all, but once we started moving she was so cute and she loved it! I can't believe that she is now old enough to do classes. My baby is getting so big!! I got her two cute little leotards for class. I LOVE THEM!!! Her favorite thing was to move the cones!
At the end of class, Zoe got stamps. She was so excited but at the same time curious as to what it was.

This was just a cute picture of my sweet Zoe that I took while at work. She was just so cute!! Don't worry about the bump on her head. She was running through the front room and tripped on the carpet bumping her head on the couch! It was so sad but she snapped out of it pretty fast when she found some chap stick!

My Birthday

I know that I haven't posted a lot lately and I promised to be better... but o well!!! It is pretty hard to find time these days. Zoe is almost 18 months and she is a super active little girl! Just last night she took off running across the front room and face planted against the couch! Poor baby!!! I came home from work and I could hear her screaming from the moment I get out of the car. All I could think was, Greer is going to kill me cause she being super bad. I walked in and saw Greer's Aunt Kay sitting on the couch holding an ice pack to Zoe's forehead. I felt so bad!! She has a sweet knot on her head, but she is doing just fine!
Well, this was supposed to be about my birthday because I did have one of those recently. My birthday was January 19th and yes... I turned 26! I feel so old!!! It was a pretty good day. Both Greer and I took the day off of work so that we can spend some time together. We walked around the mall hoping to find some new jeans for me, but we couldn't find any that I liked. All of my jeans are wearing out now that I have Zoe to crawl around on the floor with! I am still looking for some new jeans if anyone knows of a good place to get some. I have a gift card that I got from work to the Orem Mall, so that would be helpful! Then after the mall we came home so that Zoe could take a nap. I really didn't want to deal with a crabby baby on my birthday! After the nap it was time for dinner!!! Because we had just gotten over the stomach bug and Greer's poor family had it too, we decided to keep it close to the house and go to the Pizza Factory. That is one of my favorite places to eat, so I was ok with it. I was pleasantly surprised that I received some birthday gifts not only from my sweet husband, but by his Mom and brother Bradon and his wife Michelle. Greer gave me a camcorder so I can get some videos of Zoe while she is still little. Bradon and Michelle gave me a movie, "I don't know how she does it." His Mom have me a cute shirt with a cardigan to go over and some sassy leopard print flats! My Mom send me a card in the mail along with a couple of gift cards in it. Everyone was so sweet to think of me on my special day!
I feel bad that I don't have any photos to put on today but I just wanted to share my awesome day with everyone!

My Little Monkey

Greer's sweet cousin is starting up her own photography business, and she used Zoe to get advertisement. Kaley does such a great job! She took a million photos and was so patient with my busy body! I would recommend Kaley if you need some pictures taken here is Spanish Fork. She took a bunch but here are a few of my favorites of my sweet little monkey!!!

December of 2011

This is going to be a long post because I haven't had time with Zoe! She loves to play with the computer and push buttons while Mommy is on it! Lets start with our holidays were great! The beginning of December we went to California to visit my family. We were not out long and didn't do a whole lot, but what we did do was so fun! Here are some pictures from one of our days. We went to Apple Hill. Our family tradition is going to cut down our own tree and while we are up there, we have pie. I love it and I haven't had a chance to go in the last couple of years. I just have to let you know that Zoe has a scrap down her face from a fall on the cement. We went to a friends wedding and she crashed. Anyways, this first one is her stilling a soda. And she had just eaten a doughnut so that is whats on her face.

This is my family up cutting down the tree!

This gigantic pumpkin was in front of the cafe we eat our pie at!

I just loved this picture of Zoe looking out at the pond with the amazing background.

Here our some photos of our Haymond side Christmas party. We had dinner and played games as a family. It was a fun night!

The first game we played was "minute to win it." The first one was who could get the tissue out of the box with one hand the fastest. The when we were done, we threw Zoe in the tissue.... she hated it!!

Then they put an orange inside of pantyhose and the guys had to hit the bottles over with the orange. One of my favorites!!!

Here are some pictures of Christmas morning! It was so fun this year with Zoe figuring out what the gifts where. She loved opening gifts and she LOVED to play with her new toys!

She went straight to the balls! She loves to play with balls!!

Greer loved to help Zoe open the gifts and he loved putting them together for her!

This one gift was from my parents. It is a pink police motorcycle! Daddy sure did love it!! Zoe doesn't know what to do with it yet, but she knows how to use the siren on the back of it.

Here is the only picture that turned out with this dress. Zoe got this dress from and friend of the family and I love it! I tried over and over to get a good picture of it and this was the best one. First let me tell you that she got that medicine bottle from Greer's Aunt Kay, and its not medicine but its a candy bottle with a cute little saying on it. Back to the dress, I wish I would have taken the sweater off cause she kind of looks like a grandma! She looked so cute at church though.

After church I put her in this cute fun outfit. Now let me tell you about the thing she's holding. Greer's Uncle Dave thinks it is so funny that Zoe dances kind of "dirty," so he made her this. It is a stripper poll!!!

Over all we had a great end of the year with a trip to California, a Haymond Christmas, and a game filled new years!!!

Old McDonald

Zoe's new thing right now is to sing! She LOVES to sing! We sing ABC's, old McDonald, and the rhyming song. Here is one of her Old McDonald! I think this is so funny!!! Sorry that is is sideways... I need to remember next time to do it right side up!

Thanksgiving and Random

Here are some random pictures for everyone. I know that I only have been putting pictures of Zoe on here but she is so stinken cute... and it hard enough for me to remember to take pictures and get them on here! So this first picture shows just how much she LOVES green beans! She can eat almost a full can!! This was just a random day and we had a good friend over. Zoe all of a sudden found her belly and was showing it to everyone!
Then we went up to Grandma's house and she was the princess for the day!

Here are some Thanksgiving pictures! I have to say that she looked even cuter then normal!!!

I put on the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and her eyes were glued to it! She loved the big balloons and all the singing!! I remember watching the parade with my family growing up and its fun to have Zoe doing the same things that I loved!!

By the end of the day this is what she looked like! It was so HOT in Grandmas house from all the cooking so I took off her long sleeve shirt and Aunt Kay threw her dress and said, "Its thanksgiving!" She she went around in just her tights!!!

Then both of my loves crashed on the couch!!!

Thanksgiving was such a great day! We got to spend it with Greer's family and we had a great lunch and a day of games! I am Thankful for my husband who loves me and keeps me sane, and for my sweet baby girl who I couldn't love any more!! I am also thankful for my family and for Greer's family!!!

Life Lately

I know that it has been a while since I have posted. It is so hard to find time to get the computer out without Zoe around.... she loves computers! Life has been pretty crazy for me and my family! I know that a lot of people don't talk about it but we just went through a miscarriage. I was 11 weeks when I found out and was devastated! I have finally come to a good conclusion that I did nothing wrong and that this was just not meant to be. I am doing really good now and I am just more then thankful for my sweat angel Zoe!! After dealing with all of that then the stomach flu went around our house... more then once!! After the stomach bug then the head cold! Anyways, we are all doing good! Zoe is getting to be a little toddler just up and running around and getting into everything!!! She is so smart, she talks and is learning her colors and the alphabet!! Here are a couple of pictures to show just how cute my little girl is, sorry that the first few are a little blurry, my camera was on a weird setting and I didn't realize!!! The first picture is Zoe with Grandma and cousin baby Khloe. Greer and I made mini cakes and Zoe loved them... can't you tell!!

I realized that I haven't taken pictures lately and I loved her hair so here is a couple of these.

This morning Zoe had her thermals on... which was funny enough, but then she decided that she needed her shoes on too!
