Zoey's 1st Birthday!!!

I can't believe a year ago this is what was going on?!? She has changed so much but one thing has always stayed the same.....baby Zoey has been the CUTEST and BEST baby since the moment she came to this earth. We love her so much. Seeing this picture makes me miss my itty bitty baby girl, but boy do I enjoy the fun, silly and oh did I mention adorable little girl she has become. I love ZOEY!!!

We had so much fun at Zoey's birthday party. We had it at Papa's lot (the Olsen family gathering place) and papa was so nice to get out the water toys. The kids loved it and the weather was perfect! Zoey especially loved the water, she was so excited the whole time she was playing in it. I can't believe our little girl is one! Time goes by so fast. The pictures are out of order, sorry!

Zoey after her party. She sure knows how to party :)

Playing with all the gifts she received. My cousins daughter Maya on the right.


Opening her Birthday Build-a-Bear


Yummy cake. She finally dove in!



She started out a little hesitant to get messy.



A little creeped out by the 40+ people singing to her

Her birthday cake (rachel, you inspired me, sorry if I copied :)

A bunch of the kids on the slide.

The cupcakes for the kids. I made 60 I believe with my moms help. They were good!

Zoey LOVING the water.

Zoey with her Birthday Bear

The day before we went and got Zoey her first teddy bear. This is her giving hugs.

Zoey kissing the heart before putting in the bear. (I guess her kisses are licks :)

Zoey's 1st Pigtails

Zoey's hair is very slow in growth :) But, we have passed another great milestone and can now put it in pigtails!! Eventhough they are hardly visible when looking at her face, they are still there and so cute! I love the little girl my baby is growing up to be :)

My sister is the best babysitter!

A couple weekends ago we were in UT before our camping trip. Our anniversary was coming up and we wanted to take the opportunity to go to the temple together. My sister Brittany wanted to take pictures of Zoey for her little photography thing she was doing so she watched her while we went to the Provo temple. A couple days ago I got an email with some of the pictures she took and boy did we make the right choice on a babysitter :) I got a photography session in with it too! These pictures are adorable and my sister is very talented. Thank you Britt!!

I love her cute little profile!

She loves th swings

This one is just so cute to me

Oh the cute little bum!

One of my favorites!

This one is my favorite, thank you so much Britt!

Camping Trip

This past week we went camping in Colorado with Andrews family. There were about 32 people there and we had lots of fun. Yummy dinners, dutch oven donuts, hiking eagle peak (we turned around with Zoey when it started to snow), fishing on the lake, cobbler, horse shoes, lots of rain, and a bumpy ride to camp were just a few of the many things we did. Zoey was amazing; she was a trooper and can now officially sleep through anything. We had a lot of fun with all of our family members that came.

On the ridge to eagle peak. This is shortly before it started snowing.

We were up pretty high though.

On the hike.

It was a beautiful area.

Andrew made Zoey her own fire so we could be warm.

Zoey likes to laugh when other people are laughing.

She starts cracking up; it's pretty cute.

Just one happy girl!

Can a feather hurt you?

We have some very comfortable couches that are down. So, on occasion a few feathers will work their way out. Zoey, unfortunately, likes to eat them when she finds them. Most of the time I catch her and get it out of her mouth, but I'm sure I've missed a few.... The last two days Zoey has had a stuffy nose and that's it...no other symptoms of being sick, just runny nose. This morning as I put her in the bath to clear out her nose a feather!!! came out!!! pointy end up!!! Somehow a feather got either into her nose or down her throat and back up out her nose. Either way, it was really funny. I didn't take a picture because it was covered in snot, but I'm beginning to wonder if the feather was the cause of her stuffy, runny nose. It hasn't cleared up yet, but maybe it caused a little infection that now can heal since the parasite has been removed. Sorry if that grossed anyone out!

We've Moved!

Well, we are now officially in Idaho. We're living in an apartment in Idaho Falls and we really like it so far. We moved up here a few weeks ago and we're pretty much settled in now. Zoey likes her new home especially since she can crawl wherever she wants to. She got her first two teeth about the time we moved up here. They are very cute on her :) Here are just a few pictures to keep everyone updated.

I just love this picture eventhough the flash wasn't on (it was my fault). Andrew put Zoey in this bag to keep her occupied. Pretty silly. She kind of looks like a kung-fu baby. You may also notice the toys in her right hand. She has a funny thing about stuffing as many toys into one had that can possibly fit. Pretty cute.

First teeth!!!!

First nightgown!!

Just drinking a baba. I love how her red hair shows in this picture.

Zoey loves the swings!!!

Visit to CA

Zoey and I went down to CA for a few days to visit my family. It was a very busy week with my brothers eagle court of honor and missionary interviews, but we did fit in some cute pictures and fun outings. We went to Descanso Gardens, had dinner with the Bethke's and fun in their backyard, and played lots of dress up.

Sunday pictures.

Kar has hair extensions in, how fun!

Mom said "We have to match Zoey" So we are all wearing yellow.

Bethke's backyard is so beautiful!

Goofy girls

Trying to do High School Musical shot :)

Attacking Dallin

Bestest friends :) Karlie and Amy Bethke

Zoey LOVES animals, Cooper, however had other things on his mind.

Grammy and Zoey

So big!

This is a very rare shot. Zoey is not a cuddly baby. She likes to sleep on her own. My mom was lucky to get this shot, her head popped right back up after she took it.

The rose gardens

My cabbage patch baby!

I love this picture of the girls! Zoey is just one of us :)

Relaxing on the grass. Zoey was most interested in attacking Karlie.

Oh, the cute little finger!

Zoey and Grampa at Dustin's court of honor.

Just hanging out with aunty Breanna in the front yard.

Probably one of my favorite pictures of Zoey. The face is so CUTE!
