Our Busy Lil' Bumblebee

This year for Halloween we have decided to dress Zoee as a Bumblebee. This costume so best describes her...the busy lil' bee that she is. Courtney took photos of Mike, Zoee, and I (Lola included in some) the other day in a little photo shoot for Zoee's 18 month pictures. We wanted to get some good ones of her dressed in her Bumblebee costume and they turned out so cute. Enjoy!

Toys R US, Dinnertime Delight, & Crib to Toddler Bed

A trip to Toys R Us on Saturday afternoon with her Grammy and PaPaw. She made out like a bandit with lots of X-Mas gifts they bought her. Here they are heading over to look at the kitchens. X-Mas is going to be so much fun this year!

Zoee loves Toys R Us! As does every kid, I'm sure! LOL

Testing out the toys and the rides

Enjoying her Spaghetti meal way too much..it's all over her face!

BUSTED: CEREAL BOX CAPER!!

Zoee gets into the cereal box almost every day. She loves Cheerios and always helps herself to a serving! HA HA

This is a pic of what is a regular occurance these days..Zoee trying to get into her crib from the outside. This is one of the main reasons we decided to change her over to her toddler bed. The first night it only took us 2 1/2 hours (I think mostly because she wasn't tired yet), to get her to sleep. We'll see how the transition goes. I can't believe she's already in a toddler bed..she's growing up way too fast!

Zoee's Toddler Bed...converted from her crib.

This is her trying to sneak out

She's laid her out a pallet on the floor..guess she decided she didn't want to sleep in her bed tonight.

Visiting with Uncle Rob & Family Fish Fry

Ethan's getting so big..he's growing up!

My Mamasita...Love her

My cousin, Vicki was making some icing for the cake

The boys were chatting over the fryer

Aunt Carolyn, Tyler, and Ethan

My Uncle Rob, he was visiting from England

Aunt Kathy, Vicki, Mom, Jillery, and Aunt Carolyn making a great meal

Mike and Uncle David were chatting

All the kiddos are finally getting old enough to play together.

We haven't all got together in a long time. It was a lot of fun!

Nighttime Fun

Our lil' Dare Devil..ever since she has learned to climb up on the couch..it's been non-stop action.


And I will never understand why she likes to put her floatie in the living room.

And she likes to take her pink potty and put it on top of her head...why are kids so hilarious!

TUESDAY IN TUSCANY W/ THE DICE DIVAS

Tuesday in Tuscany with the Dica Divas..our 4th Bunco night
Brittany was the hostest with the mostest and I wish we had gotten a pic of the food because it was so beautiful and creative.

Yet, another Bunco..and so Fall

This was our parting gift...and Brittany was so creative with it. She even put a cocktail recipe on the bottom of the glass..so sassy

Mike is College Bound

Mike is attending college. He's in the Drafting program at Odessa College and so far is loving it. I think he's a little overwhelmed with everything...trying to juggle. Plus he's about to be 40 and going back to school..I understand how that can be a little intimidating. But he's really enjoying it so far, he really likes his professor, and I'm so proud of him!

Fun at the Fair

We attended the Permian Basin Fair this year and had a great time. We actually went two times in one day..during the day and in the evening.

Ready to have some fun

She's so beautiful

Zoee's first experience at a Petting Zoo..she was so curious.

Of course, Mike had fun feeding the goats..this particular one kept chasing him around.

I love this pic...I really wonder what she is thinking.

It's Donkey! LOL (one of her favorite characters on Shrek)

She even got close to the camel

Watching Galaxy Girl performing her trapeze stunts

Had a great time!

Riley and Courtney (my best friend, on right) came along with us

Zoee throwing up her Number #1 finger. It's hilarious cause I used to do the same thing when I was little.
