Happy 1st BDAY little bug!

On Zoe's first birthday, Wesley had work & school. He decided to cut class short, leaving after he finished a quiz, and hurried home to see his baby girl. On the way home, he stopped & bought her a huge cake. So at about 10PM we were chowing down on cake & having a webcam party with Grandma Diane. Wes is the best dad on Earth. We love him so much.
Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mmmmmmmmmm.............What is IT?

Sharing with Uncle A

Zbug helps Uncle A get down & dirty planting some flowers.

Last Thursday, Wesley's youngest brother Austin came to live with us. We are super stoked to have him around. He is a lot of fun & Zoe LOVES him!!! They are quickly becoming best friends.

Of all the flowers growing in my little patch of Earth, there is one that is extra beautiful & unique. As you can see, this little daisy has one purple petal. Nature is amazing. Wes says this flower has my flare.....I must agree. I have always liked to do things a little differently.

ADVENTURES IN EATING WITH MISS ZOE MARIE

Today Z had a little noodles, sauce, & tofu for lunch.

More of it ended up in her hair & on her face than in her belly!

She loves to give herself all natural facials & hair treatments during mealtime.

Spring has officially sprung in Michigan. After a long & dreary winter, we have our first little purple bulb poking its head out in our front yard. I couldn't be happier. Anyone who knows anything about me knows I am a sucker for warm weather. That's one of the hardest parts about living here ~ long, cold, dark winters. I guess I can't complain too much, though. It's supposed to get up to near 70 today and when I spoke to my family in Utah this morning, it was a blizzard. I sure hope that mess clears up by the time we fly in on Friday!

pioneer spirit before heading back to Zion this weekend!

This weekend I turned 30! Yeah, baby!

Here you're looking at the best 2 presents I have ever received ~

Wesley & his clone Zoe!

This weekend Zoe learned how to dip saltine crackers in yogurt!

Yum.

Last week we went to a really fun place called Jungle Java with our friends Naomi & Arianna. They have a ton of play equipment, delicious health food, yummy drinks, & a special play area just for little ones. Zoe had a wild adventure riding crocodiles, taming zebras, crawling over snakes, & hiking up waterfalls. She went down a slide for the first time & loved it! We had a great time....hopefully we can go again soon.

SomeBUNNY very special will be joining our family this November!

Will it be another CHICK?? Stay tuned to the blog for all the latest details.

Happy EASTER Everybody!

Love,

Wesley, Katie, Tyke, Zoe, & ?????
