New Pool

We got Zoey a new pool to play in this summer. It is a whale pool that sprays water out of the blow hole. We actually got the idea from our friends the Buchanans. They have one for Brielle and I really liked it, so I bought one. I set it up early this morning and Zoey was so excited she wanted to jump right in. We we stripped her down and put a little swimmers diaper on and let her play. She kept thinking the blow hole was a drinking fountain and tried taking drinks from it. It was pretty cute. She had a lot of fun. I love this picture down below, I think she looks so cute.

Just Having Fun

Zoey loves being outside and we had just given her a bath and didn't want her to get her PJs dirty, so we put this T-Shirt on her which is way too big! BUT, she had lots of fun looking for rocks.


. She also had fun playing in the water with the hose with Cory. Cory kept spraying her with the water so we had to take her shirt off. Before we went inside she kept putting her mouth over the hose and sucking the water out after we had turned it off. She is so funny.

The Toilet

Well, this is a funny story. I wish I had a picture to go along with it. I didn't think to take one. Silly me. We were watching Brielle, our neighbors' little girl the other day. She is about 5 months older than Zoey. Anyway, they went off to play. Cory asked where the girls were because we hadn't really heard from them for about 15 minutes. We thought they were playing in Zoey's room, then we heard lots of laughter coming from that end of the house. Which, we thought that was wierd considering there really isn't anything that great back there. Well, I walked back to go to Zoey's room, and to my surprise there was Zoe Bug splashing in the toilet having a wonderful time! Brielle, also laughing with joy, was dipping Zoey's bath doll into the toilet, full body and all, and then bringing her out again. Now, I will try to give you mental picture. Just imagine Zoey with water everywhere, her clothes, the floor, Brielle, you name it. PLUS, Zoey's shirt was white as could be because the toilet had powder on it from Cory. It was a mess! She even had powder on her face. All I could think was, "please tell me she didnt bite the toilet rim!" (you know how boys leave a little treat on the toilet for us to clean up) Anyway, it was definitely funny and I do wish I had a picture for you all to see!

"I'm a good girl-boy!"

Now, I think in this picture Zoey totally looks like a little boy! It reminds me of a story my parents told me that when I was little, my grandma cut my hair like a boy. My dad was in the hospital at the time and when we went to see him, I think he said I looked like a girl-boy or something. So I used to say, "I'm a good girl-boy, huh daddy?" Anyway, I had to post this because it reminded me of that. To make the picture better, she is with grandpa in the pic.

Zoey's Cooking

Mmmmmm, I love to help mom make pancakes! I like to mix the batter. Do you want some?!

Washing Up

Here is Zoey playing in the sink. Everyday she likes to wash her hands by herself while she sits on the bathroom sink. The only thing she needs help with is putting the soap on her hands. She does the rest. She turns the water on and lathers up and then rinses. She is our little smartie!

Zoey for Father's Day

Well, I got Zoey's
pics taken for
Father's Day,
they turned out
really cute, but
she was definitely
a little stinker!
She is finally
cutting some
teeth so she wasn't
the happiest
she has been. None
the less, the pics
turned out really
cute. She is
getting smarter
and smarter as the
days go on.
If you ask her
something is,
she puts her
hands up and
shrugs her shoulders
to let you know
she doesn't know.
she is so cute!
I wish everyone
could know
her as well
as we do.

Zoey's 1 Year Pics

Here are Zoey's 1 year pics. She actually cooperated better than I thought she would. She was a little lady. I can't believe how much she has changed.

We had a luau for her birthday, that is why she is in a grass skirt and swim suit for some of these pics. She wanted to play with the ball rather than cooperate for the picture!
