Overdue Catchup

A lot has happened since our last post. For starters we moved into our first home (which we love), Nick had a birthday, I had a birthday, Zoey turned 1, Easter, Mothers day, We let Zoey color for the first time, We have had play dates and had more recent trips to to Zoo, just for starters. :) I just felt like I haven't had the time or desire to upload and blog about our recent events, but somehow today I am finally sitting down and taking the time. My pictures are out of order, so I did try to label most of them.

We did move in February into our first home, which did come across as a surprise to many of you since we swore we were not going to buy a home for at least another 4-5 years. Funny how things change. We got curious at what we could afford, and we found this beautiful home that fits all of our needs. We are really happy here and we hope to stay here for a long, long time.

Thank you to all of you who have come and visited and helped us during our moving process. We love you so much!

Another big event in our home was Zoeys' 1'st Birthday. We had a pink Dino party, to go along with Zoey's LOVE for Barney. (I just couldn't do a Barney party, so we made it pink and cute with pink Dino's everywhere. Zoey was absolutely spoiled by all our family who showered her with gifts and toys (which she adores each and every one of them). With Easter being the next day we did a Dino egg hunt in the back yard as her game. She had so much fun with all her cousins to play with at her house! Thank you every one for making it such a special day. :)

Here are some of the photos from Feb-May 2011

Zoey always looks forward to play dates

First time coloring!

She likes to show you old old she is and that is why you see my finger as we practice saying "1"
