It's the 13th day of the year! I am in love! I am so excited about the things that will happen this year, memories that will be made!

Cory will finish school.
Zoey will start school. Kindergarten!!! Ahhhh!
I will stay out of school!

This will be a year of marriages and babies! I am excited for my friends as well as myself!!

Pumpkins!

I've had so many good memories with these ladies.Zoey was helping outline the pumpkin design.

The 3 little girls that belong to the men we love.
Zoey, Jocelyn and Miliana

Zoey "helping" me with the pumpkin.

My little sunshine.
We have fun together.
It makes all the frustration just fall away.
That smile, that giggle, I love it all!!

Good Time with Great Friends

Well, we had a great FIRST slumber party with Zoey and Mili!!
This is post-ice cream!!!
The adults made dinner [Sheffield Soup], the boys went to rent a movie and get ice cream [seems to be the norm] and the girls played!

The girls woke up and played outside. Stephen made waffles!

Old McDonalds

I promised to take Zoey to McDonalds this weekend. So she woke Cory up at 7:30am and they were at my house by 8:15am......

We got there and then we found a seat.....Zoey was cold...Cory made fun of me for taking pictures... i just told him that he would appreciate them when she is 25 and he misses that little girl!!!
Breakfast was good... even though she wanted french fries and chicken nuggets!!! LOL
She calls it "Old McDonalds"... she got to play after she at almost all her breakfast! It was a nice time for her to get some energy out and time for me and Cory to just talk and enjoy each other...

that Zoey girl...

what a beautiful girl.

no worries.

pure innocence.

genuine laughter.

just having fun.

yeah, she takes after her daddy.

pure joy.

this little piggy...

SO, I started with a plain old white piggy bank from Michael's....Then I added a skirt and some feather boas.......

Then I added a flower.... a pretty pink flower....


Some paint and a little bit of decor....
And you get a piggy bank for your boyfriends daughter, Zoey! I love her and can't wait to give it to her.

weather

i have been under the weather for about 2 weeks now. why don't i go to the doctor? i don't even know who i would go to. i have insurance. good insurance. but i don't know who my doctor is. good feeling, right? good thing i don't have kids. i bet i would know who my doctor was then... good to know.

i have been busy. i don't know what i have been doing but i know i have been busy. let's look though my pictures and see...
oh yeah, hanging out with zoey and cory. i get to plan her birthday party this year!!! I am so excited. it isn't until april, but still I am very excited!!!!! jumpy house, here we come!!!!!!!

Friends from a distance...

Sunday, Cory brought Zoey and we went to my parents house to hang out. Walker was there so he and Zoey played with toys AND watched TV. We visited with my parents. It was very enjoyable.
My friend Erin came in town from Seattle. She met us at my parents house, then we went to dinner at Gringos. We had a couple margaritas and just caught up with what was going on in our lives. She got to meet Cory and I was happy about that. I love sharing him with people that I love.Zoey was a little tired and got a little clingy.. to me and i loved it. :)

We had a nice dinner. We also got ice cream and took pictures.
After dinner, we parted our ways. The Blacks went home to get in bed, Erin and I went to my house to catch up! IT is true that you don't realize how much you miss someone until they come back...

Build A Bear with Zoey

Tonight, we took Zoey to Build a Bear. She had never been before. It was nice because she was so easy to please. She picked out the sparkly pink unicorn.

She rubbed the little red heart in her hands...

Pressed the heart on her nose...

Gave it kisses and placed it inside. We had a good time. Afterwards, we drove to Green Tee and looked at Christmas lights. It was so fun.
