Man am I behind..

Right after the trick or treat sugar high, crash and drool
Halloween is such a blast, between Avery's birthday, my birthday, Halloween and all the parties we definately have a great time. The girls with the Muirs trick or treating in our old neighboorhood. We have been doing it for a few years now so we will call it our tradition. Avery's Minnie Mouse, when I saw those ruby red platform minnie shoes it was all over. She had to be minnie. Addie was the best Corpses Bride and Zoey was a Go GO Girl.

So my computer has had issues on downloading pictures and it has made me crazy. Lucky I have Larren Bro-inlaw to fix things. So better late then never. He is a recap of the past month. And by the way were in the world did November go?

Miley Cyrus

For Zoey's birthday we gave her some tickets to Miley. This is her third time seeing her in concert, and I must say it was awesome. She puts a lot into her stage, costumes, and choreography. She was sick and I could tell before she ran off something wasnt right. but the show moved on and it was a lot of fun. I think I enjoyed it more than they did.

Avery Jo turns 3

Avery has been planning this party for about 6 months. She wanted a pony cake and party hats that was about it. We took a few 2 and 3 year olds to Hee Haws and they had a great time running around. They were all so good and so cute in their Halloween costumes. She is only 3 but my girl is so funny and smart. She is turning into a mini Zoey, full of it. Hopefully she falls somewhere in the middle of the two because 2 Zoeys is to much. Avery likes My little Ponies, Barbies, Backyardigans, she loves to dance and tell knock knock jokes. It usually goes like this who's there- donut- donut who- donut is going to eat you. Not funny but she cracks herself up. Oh ya she does love donuts. Yesterday she asked Jodie to get her a donut because donuts make her happy. Love you my little girl.

Zoeys Baptism

Zoey was baptized October 10th. I bought her the cutest baptism dress that could be a mini wedding dress. This was a first for our family since she is the oldest. We had the whole program to ourselves so that meant we had to do some planning. Larren and I spoke and Addi sang I am a child of god. It turned out well but things like this make me really nervous. Zoey was nervous as well, she didn't want anyone to come. She looked so pretty in her dress. I am grateful for the opportunity for our family and friends to come together and feel so much love. I am so lucky to have wonderful people in my life.

Zoeys Baptism Video first 8 years Three Little White Dresses

I

I made this video for my baby Zoey. She is getting baptized this Saturday. When I put these pictures together it made me cry. These past 8 years have gone by so fast and she is so grown up. She is also so beautiful I can't believe it. There are so many great things about Zoey. You might not know it because she has a tough shell but underneath it she has the most tender heart. She has watched this movie and cried and cried. Im not sure why but I think the song really touched her heart and she thought about Jesus. She goes out of her way to help those in need at school. She pushes the kids around in their wheelchairs, has lunch with them, reads to them at lunch. She is so smart, she is already reading, spelling, and doing her math on a third grade level. She is constantly on the go, always has to be doing something or she is bored. She is a fashion queen and a social butterfly. I love her so much.

The end of the Birthday Marathon

Well Zoey's 8th birthday finally comes to an end. She had her party a few weeks early to use the pool while the weather was still good. Saturday Grandpa Dan took her out to dinner and a shopping spree at Justice. They came home looking like rock stars with sparkles and arm bands. Sunday we went to the Zoo and then Zoey wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Happy Birthday my cute little Zoe Bug!!!

Day at the Farm

We go to the farm all the time and I get the cutest pictures I just have to post even though we have so many here. I am sure we will be going there in just a few weeks for Avery Jo's birthday. It's just cheap entertainment for me and they love it!
