Courtney and Alexis's Baby Shower

My great friend, Courtney, is having a BOY!  His name is going to be Jackson Hendricks Alexander.  We are going to call him Jack.  I love his name and am so excited for the two of my great friends, Courtney and Alexis.  I was a hostess for their shower and it was an amazing afternoon.  




 I made this boat and my Mom put a gift inside.  I love being crafty and it turned out really cute. I was in charge of most of the decorations and this nautical theme was perfect. :)

Zoee's Lost Teeth

 Well, Zoee officially lost her 2nd tooth.  (her 1st doesn't really count cause it was knocked out a few years ago).  Then the day after she lost her 3rd tooth.  They were side by side..so now she is a bit snaggly.  HA!
 I stayed up extra late the night she lost her 2nd one to make this special little pillow.  I literally didn't want to set up my sewing machine so I hand stitched it together.  The next morning Zoee was astonished at how the Tooth Fairy made it in her room and left her this cute lil' pillow with $5.00.  I love being able to see her lil' face light up and so happy!

1st Day of Kindergarten

Well, it's here.  Zoee's 1st day of Kindergarten.  I wasn't sad...just praying she has a good year.  She's grown up so much already.  She is starting at a new school that's not even finished being built.  They move in to their classrooms next week hopefully.  
 Daddy got to take her to class with me and she loved it.  She's a big Daddy's girl so this picture says it all.
 Zoee's teacher..so pretty
 We gave her teacher a fun lil' gift for the new year.

 She was really excited.
 The sunrise on the way to school was beautiful.
 Julianna was in Zoee's Pre-K class and she's in her class this year, too.  So fun




Pooped out after school.  I asked if she wanted to take a nap and she said..No, Mom you can ..but I'm not.  This is what I saw about five mins after that conversation.  HA HA

Starting Kindergarten

Excited to start Kindergarten.  The night before Sebrena read this new book I got her and we did our new nightly routine and went to bed.  Can't believe she is starting Kinder.  Growing up way too fast.

Dallas Trip to the Docs

We spent 3 days in Dallas. First day was spent at the doctor for my Mom.  She went for a check up on her arms with her orthopedist.  He had bad news after x-raying them.  She has to have another replacement but the kicker is they only make the replacement part in Italy.  Her doctor is working to the FDA approve it to be made here in the US...so it may be a while before she is able to get this done.  She's also on a waiting list. :(  Then I had an appointment for my left eye with another retinologist in the group of doctors I've been seeing.  It came out that they set me up to see the wrong doctor so my trip to Dallas this time was really unnecessary.  I was so mad!  It costs a lot of money to travel up there ..stay, food, doc visits etc.  She basically told me I don't know why they set you up with me.  She was really nice but I had to an ERG that morning and then more eye tests at their office.  It lasted almost 4 hours.  NO FUN!  I'll tell ya more about the testing etc after I go back and see one last doctor for this.  I am going in a couple of weeks and will make a post about what the docs think.  So far I have been diagnosed with Visual Field Defect, Retinoschisis, and Chorioretinitis.  They are looking into diagnosing me with one more thing but will talk more about that soon. 
 We went to a mall to kill some time.  Zoee loves the Disney store.  They had these neat trees up all around the store with the Disney Fairies projected on them.  It was cool.  She was posing in a castle with a magic mirror.  They have the neatest things in their store.
 The UP house was in the middle of the mall.

 I tried to run quickly by the Build a Bear store.  Zoee loves it, too.  They have some really cute things.  They had a sale going on..so we stopped in and Zoee got Aeriel's cat.  We went to eat at my all time favorite Tex/Mex restaurant, Pappasitos (man I wish they would get one here in Odessa).  Zoee drew her Palace pet..she is such an artist.
 We swung by Target afterwards and were beat.  So Mom got on a scooter chair.  She picked up one that didn't have much charge..so by the end of our visit it was going really slow.  I went around the corner..I saw Zoee pushing Mom along to make her go faster.  I look back and this is what I see.  I had to snap a pic for fun memories, of course.  Mom cracks up every time she sees this.  I just noticed that the guy in the pic must of had a mean craving for Cheetos, too.  FUNNY altogether.  Zoee is so dramatic and this shows.  She's hilarious.

 Mom and Zoee ordered a brownie sundae.  It was good. I had a bite.
 We also go to see Ashton, Adelynn, and Amber.  We haven't seen them in such a long time.  Ashton and Zoee loved playing together.  They are so cute. We went to a place called Kidmania.  It was really fun and HUGE.


And afternoon of fun!
