Christmas Eve!

Brr! Zoe is all snuggled up in her blanket!

Does he look like he is up to something? He is! He took an ornament off the tree. Silly boy!

Snuggling up and watching a show!

Zoe is sooooo excited there is only one sleep until Santa comes!!! We made cookies today for Santa. Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jeremy, and Auntie Jenn are all going to stay the night, so we can spend Christmas morning together. Zoe came up with a plan to stop the snow... "plug the sky with a plug!" May Santa bring you what you wish for tonight! Christmas Blessings to you!

Lily isn't sure about this stuff.

Hey, were stuck!

We played in the snow again. This is our 5th consecutive day of snow. We have about 10-12 inches. We went out to play again this morning! It was funny trying to see the kids walk in all the snow.

We really wanted SNOW and boy did we get it. It started snowing this morning and has snowed all day long! As of right now there is no sign of stopping. (We have about 5-6 inches so far!) We had a fun day! We played in the snow, drank hot chocolate, made cookies, and played in the snow again. Steve got to come home from work early to play with us. We had a fun day together.

Christmas Fun!!!

We went to get our Christmas tree yesterday, decorated our house, and went to the Longview Christmas parade! It was a fun day. Zoe liked seeing Santa at the tree farm. She is really excited about Christmas this year. Presley has a cold so it wasn't a fun time for him. He didn't want anything to do with Santa this year... 18 days until Christmas!!!
Zoe and Santa... Zoe asked for a blue teddy bear.

Pres and Daddy

This is our tree ... Zoe picked it out.

Grandma Betsy went with us too!

The family...

Pres was a little upset about the whole situation.

Happy Halloween!

We had a great time trick-or-treating!!!

Our little monkey and kitty had so much fun!

Zoe's Birthday

Happy Birthday, Zoe!

We celebrated Zoe's 3rd birthday. We had a family party at Chuck-E-Cheese and a party with friends and family at our house. This year Zoe still wanted "Cake" for her birthday (inside joke) and she insisted on a blue party, (because blue is her favorite color of course). So we came up with Blue's Clues. It was a great birthday!

I can't believe I have a three year old!!!!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch on Zoe's Birthday weekend! We had a lot of fun picking our pumpkins, taking a hay ride, petting the pigs and cow, eating a sauage dog, and buying some yummy produce.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We had a very successful year with our team Myrtle's Turtles for the Race for the Cure! We have collected over $1000 towards the cure. Safeway takes donations during the month of October. Round your groceries up to the nearest dollar... anything helps. :) Or donate at http://race.komenoregon.org/site/TR/Race/General?team_id=29452&pg=team&fr_id=1050

We hope you can join us next year at the race.

We love the zoo!

We went to the zoo on September 27th for member appreciation day. It was really busy, but we still had a great time. We even got to see the baby elephant. We didn't even have to stand in line to see her. We rode the zoo train and got to see her. Zoe's favorite was the penguins but they were stinky. Presley's favorite was the sea lions. They were swimming around and around. He laughed, yelled, clapped and screamed at them. It was cute! Mommy's favorite was the bats... they are so interesting. Daddy's favorite was the BIG (lazy) python. The weather was great for us too! We had a great time!
