Family Hike at the Valley Wave Park

Today we decided to bundle up and go for a hike and to hit the playground for a bit so Zoey could burn off some energy.  Here are some photos of her and her Daddy on our hike and her on the playground afterwards.

Papa's NCSU Phys Ed Shirt - 1971

Hard to believe that at one point in time this t-shirt fit Papa.  Even harder to believe we have managed to keep it around all this time.  Second generation Wolfpacker...maybe Zoey can make it 3 generations?  :-)

Another Week Another Play Date - This time Chuck E Cheese

 Here are Ila and Zoey playing on one of the rides at Chuck E Cheese for our weekly play date.

Play Date at the Movies - Sleeping Beauty

 So the pictures aren't the best since they were taken with the iPhone, but this week's play date was at the movie theater.  Rachel, Christi and I took Ella, Ila and ZOey to see Sleeping Beauty in 3D.  They were all good, but not big fans of the glasses.

 After the movie, they found the mini arcade and had a number of laughs on the motorcycle.  Zoey also saw a pay phone in the lobby and said "what's that Mommy??"  You can tell times they are a changing.

Baking Cookies for Play Date

Ila came over for play date tonight and we made chocolate chip cookies!  Zoey was more than a little but excited to see Ila!

A Quick Visit With Uncle Fuzzy

Uncle Fuzzy drove up to WV Thursday night. He was coming to take our old furniture back to Aunt Kristen and for a quick visit with little Z. She was really excited to see her Uncle Fuzzy when she woke up Friday morning. Daddy made some french toast and we all had a nice breakfast together and then Zoey and Uncle Fuzzy cuddled a little while. When it was time for Fuzzy to get going, Zoey had to get in on the action loading the truck.

Clearly all the excitement left her a little worn out :-)

Weekly Play Date with Ila

This week play date was at Ila's house and she shared her dress up clothes with Zoey. It was Zoey's first time in "clip on" earrings and high heels! She was a bumble bee...Ila was a princess. They were both adorable!

Happy New Year!!

Tonight Maria and Isabella came over for a New Year's Eve play date with Zoey. Ms. Phillips watched the three girls while Mommy, Daddy and Heather and Matt went out to dinner. After dinner we came home to cheers with our three little princesses!

Progressive Dinner 2011

A photo of all the lovely ladies.

Christi, Renu, Laura E., Rachel, Laura J., Mary and Margie.

While the ladies were socializing. The boys were watching basketball and football on TV ad the kiddos (Ila, Zoey and Brody) were playing doctor. In a few more years that will no loger be acceptable.

Zoey's 3rd Christmas

Zoey had a number of Christmases this year. Nannie and Pop-pop came down the weekend before Christmas to celebrate with us. Then we went to NC the wednesday before Christmas and saw some of Mommy's old friends and celebrated with Nana and Papa's families. After we had Christmas morning with Nana, Papa, 10-10, Fuzzy and Lo-Lo we drove back to WV to see what Santa had left under the tree. Here are a few photos of Zoey opening Santa's gifts.
