WILD ANIMAL SAFARI TRIP

WE WENT WITH OUR CHURCH TO THE ZOO SAFARI IN GEORGIA LAST SUNDAY. THE TODDLERS AND THIER PARENTS HAD A DAY OF FUN. THIS WAS ZOEY'S FIRST "OFFICIAL" CHURCH OUTING WITH THE OTHER TODDLERS.WE RODE ON THE ZEBRA BUS ALL THROUGH THE TOUR AND SAW ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS, FROM ELK TO WILD PIGS, ZEBRA'S, CAMELS, GOATS, EMU'S, WATER BUFFALO'S. THE WINDOWS ON THE BUS WERE OUT AND THE ANIMALS WALKED UP TO THE WINDOW AND WE GOT TO HAND FEED THEM. IT WAS GREAT! ZOEY ACTUALLY FED ONE OF THE WATER BUFFALO'S, AND HE GAVE HER A "BIG" LICK ON HER HAND, SHE DIDN'T LIKE THIS AT ALL, BUT SHE LAUGHED AFTERWARDS. NEEDLESS TO SAY SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT AGAIN, SHE DID ENJOY LOOKING THOUGH. IT WAS A FUN FILLED DAY. "THANK YOU" TOVA AND DARNELL FOR ALL THE PLANNING OF THIS GREAT TRIP!

ZOEY TRYING TO PUT ON HER SHOES

ONE DAY ZOEY GOT INTO HER CLOSET AND DECIDED TO PUT ON HER DRESS SHOES. SHE LOOKED SO FUNNY, SHE GOT ONE ON, BUT IT IS ON THE WRONG FOOT. SHE WAS REALLY CONCENTRATING ON PUTTING IT ON. SHE USUALLY HATES PUTTING ON HER SHOES. I GUESS IT IS DIFFERENT WHEN SHE PUTS THEM ON.

MR.FISH, ZOEY'S BEST FRIEND

ZOEY IS HOLDING "MR. FISH" HER BEST FRIEND, SLEEPING BUDDY, BATHING BUDDY. WE USUALLY HAVE TO CARRY IT EVERYWHERE WE GO. MR FISH HAS BEEN TEETHED ON AND CHEWED ON.

HE STILL IS "GREAT" IN ZOEY'S WORLD. WE HAD TO LOOK AND LOOK FOR A BACK-UP FISH IN CASE WE LOST THIS ONE. :)

SHE IS ADORABLE CARRYING IT! I HAD TO TAKE THIS PICTURE.

ZOEY'S FIRST HAIRCUT

WE HAD TO TAKE ZOEY IN FOR HER FIRST HAIRCUT, HER BANGS WAS GETTING IN HER FACE. "SO LIKE OUR MOTHERS ALWAYS TOLD US" I DIDN'T WANT HER TO GO BLIND. LOL!! NEEDLESS TO SAY SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL. IT WAS HARD GETTING HER TO SIT STILL.

THE BEAUTICIAN "JILL" EVEN TRIED TO BRIBE HER WITH A LOLLIPOP. I FELT SO BAD FOR HER, BUT I KNOW IT HAD TO BE DONE. SHE LOOKS REALLY CUTE WITH HER BIG GIRL HAIRCUT.

ZOEY AT A FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

ZOEY WENT TO HER LITTLE FRIENDS BIRTHDAY PARTY ON SATURDAY. IT WAS A BOUNCIN B'S. THEY HAD BIG BOUNCERS AND SMALL ONES JUST FOR TODDLERS. ZOEY WASN'T TO SURE ABOUT THE BOUNCERS BUT SHE PLAYED ON THE LITTLE TYKES TOYS AND JUST RAN AROUND CHECKING EVERYTHING OUT. SHE IS REALLY DOING BETTER AROUND STRANGERS AND ACTING MORE COMFORTABLE.. EVERYONE "OF COURSE" THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST THE FUNNIEST, PRETTIEST LITTLE GIRL. HER FRIENDS NAME IS REID, HE JUST TURNED TWO. THEY ARE ONLY TWO MONTHS APART. I HOPE THIS FRIENDSHIP LASTS FOR A LONG TIME.

ZOEY AND DADDY PLAYING AND HAVING A SILLY TIME

What a great time Zoey and Daddy had, they just started playing and acting silly the other day. Zoey loves acting silly and laughing! She makes the funniest faces! These are the most precious moments I wouldn't take anything for.

LOOK AT ZOEY'S "COOL SHADES"

LOOK AT ZOEY'S "COOL SHADES"

LOOK AT ZOEY'S COOL SHADES. WE BOUGHT ZOEY SOME SUNGLASSES, AT FIRST SHE WASN'T SURE SHE LIKED THEM AND WHEN WE STARTED TAKING PICTURES OF HER, SHE DECIDED THEY WERE PRETTY COOL.

THEY ARE PURPLE WITH SILVER GLITTER. SHE STARTED PERFORMING FOR THE CAMERA.

LITTLE MONKEY

LOOK WHAT I CAUGHT ZOEY DOING ! IT ABOUT SCARED ME TO DEATH. SHE LOVES LISTENING TO THIS CD PLAYER BY OUR BED.
SHE WILL PUT THE CD IN AND OUT. SOMETIMES SHE WILL SIT DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND LISTEN TO IT. I GUESS SHE DECIDED TO VENTURE OUT AND WATCH THE CD GOING AROUND AND AROUND.

NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD TO FIX THE BED SO SHE CAN'T CLIMB ON IT ANYMORE. SHE KEEPS US HOPPING. WHEN WE FIRST GOT HOME WITH HER, SHE HARDLY EVER LEFT OUR SIGHT, BOY HAS THIS CHANGED! HA! SHE LIGHTS UP OUR LIFE.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY ZOEY

OUR BABY TURNED TWO, MARCH 25 (SUNDAY) WE HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAY PARTY. WE HAD HER A SMALL CAKE OF HER OWN AND SHE DIDN'T LIKE PUTTING HER HANDS ON IT. SHE FINALLY DID TOUCH IT . SHE DOESN'T LIKE HER HANDS DIRTY. WE HAD A GREAT GROUP OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY BRINGING "BIRTHDAY WISHES."

ONE OF OUR DEAR FRIENDS LET US BORROW A BLOW UP BOUNCER, SHAPED LIKE A CASTLE. IT WAS A BIG HIT!!

IT WAS ZOEY'S FIRST TIME TRYING ONE OF THESE, AFTER SHE WATCHED THE OTHER KIDS SHE GOT IN AND TRIED IT. SHE LOVED IT !! "A BIG THANKS TO JAMELL FOR ALL HER HELP WITH THE PARTY. THIS WAS MY FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY TO HOST OF MANY TO COME. IT WAS WELL WORTH ALL THE WORK!

ZOEY LOVES HER COZY COUPE

ZOEY RECEIVED HER AT OUR SHOWER, AND SHE LOVES IT.

SHE WAKES UP IN THE MORNING TIME MAKING A CAR NOISE.

SHE IS LEARNING AND DOING NEW THINGS EVERY DAY. OF COURSE WE ARE JUST AMAZED! WHAT FUN WE ARE HAVING WATCHING HER.

Zoey in her Easter Dress

LOOK AT OUR BIG GIRL IN HER EASTER DRESS. SHE WAS SO CUTE, SHE HAD ON HER FIRST PAIR OF DRESS SHOES. THEY HAD A SMALL HEEL ON THEM AND SHE WALKED SO FUNNY, IT REMINDED ME OF

SOMEONE WALKING IN HEELS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

MY FAVORITE TIME TO WATCH ZOEY

I JUST LOVE WATCHING MY BABY GIRL SLEEP, THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST PRECIOUS SIGHT I HAVE EVER SEEN. I REALLY LOVE THE LOOK ON HER FACE WHEN SHE FIRST WAKES UP, SHE ALWAYS HAS THE BEST SMILE ON HER FACE, SO CUTE & INNOCENT.

THIS LITTLE GIRL IS SUCH A HUGE BLESSING TO OUR FAMILY.

WE LOVE HER MORE THAN WORDS COULD SAY! BTW SHE HAS DADDY WRAPPED AROUND HER LITTLE FINGER! :) WELL AND COME TO THINK ABOUT IT, SHE HAS HER MOMMA TOO!

ZOEY'S CUDDLY PICTURE

I HAD TO TAKE A PICTURE OF DAD AND ZOEY IN HER CUDDLY COAT.

I LOVE THIS LITTLE COAT, THE EARS ON THE HOOD ARE TOOO CUTE.

CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION

WE MET WITH THE SHELBY COUNTY FCC GROUP FOR DINNER TO CELEBRATE CHINESE NEW YEAR. THERE WAS A GREAT TURN OUT.

THERE WAS THE PRETTIEST LITTLE CHINESE GIRLS I HAVE EVER SEEN. THEY WERE ALL DRESSED IN THIER CHINESE OUTFITS.

I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE A PICTURE OF ZOEY, ANA CLAIRE, HANNAH GRACE. LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIES!

ZOEY'S FIRST SUNDAY AT CHURCH

ZOEY READY TO HEAD OUT TO CHURCH.

THIS WAS ZOEY'S FIRST SUNDAY IN CHURCH. SHE DID REALLY WELL. SHE SAT THROUGH THE MUSIC AND LOVED IT, THEN SHE WANTED TO TALK. SO OFF THE THE NURSERY WE WENT. OF COURSE MOM STAYED WITH HER. SHE DID OKAY, SHE WAS SORTA OVERWHELMED I THINK, BUT OVER ALL SHE WAS FINE. SHE KEPT WATCHING MAKING SURE HER MOM WAS STILL IN THE ROOM.

OUR LIVING DOLL

LOOK AT OUR SWEET LIVING DOLL, DOUG FOUND A CUTE BONNET IN ZOEY'S DRAWER (I FORGOT I BOUGHT IT!) :) oops. HE GOT HER DRESSED THIS DAY WITHOUT MY SUPERVISION. :) AND I MUST SAY HE DID VERY GOOD. HE PUT HER ON PINK FLOWERED OVERALLS,WITH A MATCHING SHIRT. I WAS REALLY PROUD OF HIM. AND OF COURSE SHE LOOKED LIKE A DOLL. SHE HAS THE SWEETEST BABY FACE. SHE IS GETTING MORE AND MORE SETTLED DOWN WITH GOING PLACES. SHE WILL ACTUALLY THROW KISSES TO PEOPLE WHEN WE ARE OUT. THIS IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT FOR HER, SINCE WE HAVE BEEN HOME.
