Mama and Zoey's Big Birthday Party in NC

Aunt Aunt Sherri and Uncle Jeff were hosting a party for Mama Peggy's 80th birthday. Since we were going to be there and it was just a few days before Zoey's 2nd birthday, these two lovely ladies shared their special celebration. Here are some photos from the festivities.

Zoey is trying out a lawn game. Canton wants to get in on the action. Looks like Zoey is giving him the play by play.

Miss Christi let us borrow the bounce house for the party. All the younger cousins are getting in on the action. They are playing ring around the roses...Mommy is the roses!

And they all FALL DOWN!!

Mama Peggy (the other b-day girl) comes to get a peak at the action.

Down she goes.

And back up again!

Zoey's First Pigtails

Ila Brought the Bounce House Over for Playdate!

For play date one day, Christi and Ila brought over the bounce house and we set it up out back. You can see from the photos that the girls had a BLAST!! They were like caged animals :-)

After all the bounce house play dates, little Z finally gets her feet off the ground!

Miss Christi is giving the girls a "toss".

I LOVE Watermelon!

This spring Zoey has discovered watermelon...and she also discovered that she loves it and that the juicier and messier the better!! Love that smile!

Baking For the First Time with Mom

Mommy has taken an interest in all things that require baking, so she decided to let Zoey help her out for the first time today. We were making our very first batch of chocolate chip cookies from scratch! Waiting for mom to read the recipe.

Making sure we have all the ingredients.

Checking our tools!

Adding ingredients to the bowl!

Hamming it up for Daddy!

Easter Morning with Nana and 10-10 in WV

Nana and Aunt Kristen came up to spend Easter with us again this year. This year we celebrated in WV. Here is Zoey diving into her Eater Basket and checking out some of the neat books from her Aunt 10-10.

Zoey's New Quilt

While Nana and Aunt Kristen were in for a visit they surprised Zoey with her first quilt. As you can see from the photo the quilt is beautiful and very colorful...and goes perfectly with Zoey's room and personality!

You can also see that Zoey was VERY excited about her quilt! Nana and Kristen made it with Zoey's Great-Great Aunt Keewa and it was hand quilted with lots of love.

Making Easter Eggs with 10-10 and the Lyons Ladies

Maria, Isabella and Heather Lyons all came over to help Zoey, Mommy and 10-10 color some easter eggs. Here are all three girls patiently awaiting the task at hand! 10-10 helping the girls with their works of art.

Miss Heather gets in on the action as well.

Bounce House with Ila

Mama's little country girl (thanks for the cute shirt Kelli!!) was tearing it up in the bounce house with Ila at Miss Christi's house. This was one of our wednesday night play dates with Ila. The girls were having a blast.
