The big one

Zoe is one, I know I know, how could that be already?!  She truly brings so much joy to our family.  I prayed before she was born that she would be a happy, smiley baby and oh my, has she lived up to those prayers.  Thank you God for Your answered prayers.  She's such a little blessing and I couldn't imagine a more perfect daughter for our family!  I simply love and adore every bit of her.  She loves her little brother and enjoys doing anything he's doing.  Things that make her smile: her blanket, brother, books, baths, babies....apparently all things that start with B...being chased, jumping on the bed, music, food, milk and of course mommy and daddy.  She can say dada, mama, Debi, baby, cracker, book and blankie which sounds like baby.

We celebrated her 1st birthday with family at our new house (blog is yet to come on our new house).  It was the perfect day with the perfect people.  The princess herself was dressed to impress. We reminded her she can't date until 18 so I guess she was trying to impress daddy and her grandpas.  It's safe to say they were impressed.  Watch out boys, Zoe's big bro and daddy are watching after her closely!

She was full force into her frosting and cupcake.  There was no stopping her.  She's never been shy when it comes to eating...shows on her charts as she's 91% for weight.  She's also 88% for height, she clearly gets that from mommy's side of the family (wink, wink).

We love you honey!  Thank you for bringing so much happiness, joy and love to our family.  We love you beyond words.

Double digits!

Little miss Zoe is double digits in the months world!  She has changed so much over the past couple months. She has six teeth, her hair is getting longer, and she can walk!  Yes WALK!  Look out world, Zoe is on the move.  She's a Frankenstein lookalike...from a walking perspective definitely not a looks perspective.  She can say dada, num, baby, mama and Debi (her amazing daycare lady).  She is still such a happy little girl and smiles so much! She loves to play with anything that Caleb is playing with and as of late Caleb has really enjoyed playing with her. Just the other night he said "mom can you bring Zoe downstairs so we can play together?"  Talk about melt my heart.  Love those two.  Here are some pics of the little beauty over the past couple months.

Terrific Three

Caleb turned three and we had such a wonderful birthday party for him.  The joy on his face when he saw Mickey banners and balloons was absolutely priceless.  I am filled with so much joy when my children are happy.  Their smiles bring complete peace to my soul.

I am yet again amazed that my baby is 3.  He's so fun, loud, hilarious and kind.  He always keeps us laughing with the things he says.  He's great at giving Zoe toys to play with.  His imagination is always exploring.

Right now he loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Spider-Man, Hulk, PJ Masks, being outside, driving his blue truck, riding his bike, feeding Tucker green beans, wearing gloves, delivering mail to Armand, Popsicles, juice and milk in the white "cup".

Hope you had as much fun at your party as we did.  We love you Caleb!!  We pray many blessings and years to come!

And a quick little birthday video...

Happy Birthday little man!

All kinds of cruisin'

Vroom vroom all over the place.  These two are at the starting gate ready to go.

Zoe loves the radio flyer wagon.

I sense a theme here...Spider-Man big wheels, Spider-Man helmet and Spider-Man action figure.  Go Spidey!

And a little snipet of the two cruisin together!

Haha that video cracks me up!  Props to my pops for the idea.

Bare butts

Debi took this picture of Grant and Caleb at daycare.  Lol this cracks me up!!  Best buddies pee together I guess.

2 kids and a bubble bath

I had been wanting to get a picture of the two kids in the tub but they don't ever take baths together since their bedtimes are so different.  The other night I was drawing a bath for Zoe and Caleb says "I take a bubble bath too?"  Yes you sure can so of course mamarazzi does her typical photo shoot and I must say it turned out pretty stinkin cute.  Hey and now I'm off the hook for giving Caleb a bath later.  Score!!  Love these two kidlets so much!

#footballseason

And so the rivalry begins.  The only reason the kids are unhappy in my picture is because they couldn't stand looking at daddy in his Vikes shirt.

We are family

Man how I love our family of four.  I just feel so incredibly blessed and there is no one else I'd rather spend my days with than these three.  We are a tight family!  So much love.  XOXO

Wedding date

My handsome date to Juan and Missy's wedding.

We had a great time!  You could tell we were the adults without their kids for the night because we were cuttin a rug when it was pretty much only kids on the dance floor.  We didn't care, we had a blast!

Here is a picture of my new dress.

Puddles

9 months

Our little Zoe girl is 9 months.  She no longer wants to cuddle except right before bed which I take full advantage of.  It's for sure one of my favorite parts of the day.  She's already on the go...she likes to sit up, stand up, roll and crawl all over the place. She's taken a few actual crawls but for the most part she army crawls everywhere.  No teeth yet but a decent amount of drool so I expect those pearly whites will poke through shortly.  She can clap and also wave which is so adorable.  She's happy and healthy, I couldn't ask for more!  We love you sweetie pie.

Double fistin'

Looks like someone else likes their veggies too...

Airplanes again?

I took Caleb on our usual date to see airplanes.  He would do this every day if he could and he wouldn't get tired of it.  This time we took some silly selfies and he also picked me a pretty purple flower.

These two

I know I'm biased but these two just couldn't get any cuter.  XOXO

Yogurt and grapes?!

Mom you made me yogurt and grapes for breakfast?!  No thanks I'll have this carrot instead.  Kid loves his veggies.

Backyard baseball

We had fun playing a little ball at grandpa and grandma's house.  Caleb is naturally athletic but these are just the highlights.  Future big leaguer?!

It's raining cats and dogs

If Caleb could live outside he would.  Not even rain keeps him inside the house.

Climbing trees

Caleb and I scaled the birch tree and took turns snapping pics of each other.  He's quite the photographer.

Somewhere over the rainbow

We witnessed the most spectacular rainbow at my parents house.  I have never seen a rainbow this exuberant before.  The pictures don't do it justice but they are still beautiful. 

Airshow

Dave took Caleb to an airshow because Caleb LOVES airplanes.  That's an understatement.  He asks all the time to go to the airport to watch big airplanes.  Needless to say he had a great time at the airshow and daddy even bought him a hat...one of his other favs.

  

Stunning

This girl is just stunning.  I just can't handle those baby blues. So much love.  XOXO

Helmet

We had a follow up helmet appointment for Zoe today and her head is looking great!! They are so impressed with the changes that they predict she has less than 2 months left.  Yay!  She doesn't mind it at all which is such a blessing from God.  We are actually thankful she has had this helmet because she's fallen off a few things, her brother has hit her in the head with a toy hammer and she's fallen backwards a couple times.  Just toughening her up is all...to prepare her for later years with Caleb.  I'm pretty sure Caleb will have the no mercy approach with her in life.

In the meantime this girl is rockin' her helmet.

Safety First

Got my hard hat on drivin' to work.  Our little construction worker.

He's also quite the builder (ignore the shirt daddy).
