ZOEY'S 5TH BIRTHDAY PARTY WAS AT I-JUMP IN BIRMINGHAM. SHE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME PLAYING AND VISITING WITH ALL HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

OF COURSE WE HAD A "YO GABBA GABBA" CAKE WHICH SHE LOVED! IT WAS TOO CUTE! BIG THANKS TO EDGAR'S BAKERY FOR THE OUTSTANDING JOB! IT ALSO TASTED WONDERFUL. :)

WE ENDED UP HAVING ABOUT 14 KIDS AT THE PARTY. WE WERE THRILLED TO HAVE OUR OUT OF TOWN GUESTS "THE WOODALLS" JOIN IN ON THE CELEBRATION.

THANKS FOR EVERYONE WHO MADE ZOEY'S BIRTHDAY EXTRA SPECIAL!

WE CAN'T BELIEVE SHE IS FIVE YEARS OLD ALREADY, SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY WE WERE IN CHINA. WE THANK GOD EACH AND EVERY DAY FOR OUR BABY!

Zoey loved Christmas this year! She even liked Santa. She talked to Santa and wanted to count his teeth. :) She was so adorable !!

HALLOWEEN 2009

ZOEY WAS SO EXCITED THIS YEAR, SHE GOT TO WEAR HER HALLOWEEN COSTUME TO SCHOOL. ALL THE KIDS LOOKED ADORABLE.

THEY GOT TO STAND UP IN CLASS AND TELL ABOUT THIER COSTUME.

Zoey is attending pre-school at Knollwood Christian School.

Her first day was good with only minimal tears. I think she cried because another child in her class was crying.

This is a big milestone for Zoey because she has never been away from me or Doug very long at a time and then it has always been with very close friends.

I am thrilled that she feels secure enough with me leaving her. This is a wonderful school and they really love the children. There is only 5 kids in Zoey's class, which allows her teacher alot of one on one time with the children.

TRIALS OF POTTY TRAINING

WELL ZOEY FINALLY HAS SHOWED SOME INTEREST IN POTTY TRAINING. WE HAVE A TRAINING POTTY FOR HER THAT SHE USES, BUT YESTERDAY SHE DECIDED SHE WANTED TO SIT ON THE "BIG" POTTY. I WAS SO EXCITED SHE WANTED TO TRY IT. SO I HELPED HER GET ON IT AND SHOWED HER HOW TO HOLD ON THE THE SIDES, SHE KEPT SAYING "I WON'T FALL IN" AND I WOULD ASSURE HER SHE WOULD NOT AND SHE WOULD BE FINE. WELL I WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM FOR A MINUTE AND WHEN I CAME BACK SHE WAS HAVING A GRAND OLE TIME. SHE HAD FIGURED OUT SHE COULD TOUCH THE WATER WITH HER "BOOTY" AND THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! I HAD TO CAPTURE AND SHARE THIS MOMENT. GOTTA LOVE THESE PRECIOUS TIMES. :)
