Zoey's 1st Birthday and Extra

Zoey's birthday was so stink in fun and she is my favorite little buddy I could ever ask for! I am so grateful for her little spunky, sassy pants personality for blessing my life.

We didn't get to do a big family party like I had originally planned (we kept getting weird buggies at our house), but with our loving friends we had a great time doing something small at home.

Presents, cake and ice cream she loved it! She ate all of her frosting first, and kind of didn't know what to do while being in the spot light.  She loved her one candle and really wanted to touch it.

her absolute favorite part

On down side was the because her dad got home from work at 9 she was so so stinking tired that once she was done eating her cake, there was no hope to do anything else... she was done for the night.

nomnom- like she knew what she was doing

even though she was shy at first

Since then our lives have been turned upside down.  Aside from school almost being out (1 week left YEAH!!!)  for Justin, me starting up school again and Zoey constantly changing over night we are just busy and loving it.

Justin started a new job recently at Western Quality Foods.  It has been a hard change but also one full of blessings so I can't and won't complain.  He loves it and it's a step up for us. 

I starting an online program to finish up my bachelors.  Luckily, I was able to have all but a few credits transfer so things are getting brighter for me and education.

Zoey is almost to a full run now, she is super great with her balance now which means bruised knees and she cut her 4 top teeth all at the same time. Teeth are a serious love hate.  But I'm glad she broke them because she is full of laughs and giggles and hugs.  Her favorite thing in the WORLD is all ANIMALS! Justin thinks one day we are going to HAVE to get a dog because of her. Anything type of animal makes a "woof woof" sound though.  We are working on birds and fishy mouth.

It's very hard and rewarding to watch her grow up so fast.  I love her to death and Justin and I are sure in for a ride with this little girl. I'm excited to see where she will take us.

Thanks for reading

Love us.
