Pumpkin Carving!

Zoe has never carved a pumpkin before so we thought this would be a great year to do it!  Zoe is all about Princess's now, so I found a Rapunzel drawing that we could use for her 1st pumpkin.  We told her she had to help clean out the pumpkin seeds, which did not go over too well.  I got a kick out of all her funny faces she made as she touched the slimy seeds and I'm sure you will too.  The pumpkin turned out really good thanks to Daddy-O!













We are back!

Soooo, it looks like we are back, updating everyone via blog since we are not on facebook anymore.  So, many things have happened since I have last posted anything (2 1/2 years).  So I am going to pick up with our newest addition to the family.  We welcomed our little boy on August 8, 2011, Leland Maddox.  Steve and I could not be more blessed with two beautiful children.  Zoe absolutely adores her new little brother and is such a big helper!

Baby's 1st Steps

Five days before her 1st birthday, Zoe took her very 1st steps. She was so excited she fell down with excitement! Mommy and daddy are so proud of her. Her are some pics that we caught of her in action taking her 1st steps!

Catching Up

I can't believe it has been 4 months since my last post. I am now obsessed with facebook, so all my updates and pictures have been posted there. I keep forgetting that not everyone is on facebook,(MiMi).

I don't even know where to start. So try and follow me as best as you can. Zoe started crawling around 10 1/2 Months. We weren't sure if she was going to walk or crawl first, because she didn't seem to have to much interest in crawling, but she liked standing a lot. Finally, she started crawling and she has been on the move ever since.

We celebrated her 1st Birthday on March 13th. The next day we had about 50 adults and kids running around our house. Unfortunately it was raining so we could not setup the moonwalk, but it turned out really good! Here are some pics of her 1st Birthday Party.

Zoe Meets Santa

This past Friday our neighbors Darren, Keyma, and their son Drake joined us in taking Zoe to meet Santa at Stone Mountain Park. Of course, it was the coldest night of the year, but we still had a really good time and Zoe loved Santa as you can tell!

Thanksgiving 2008

This was the 2nd time we have had our family over for Thanksgiving since Steve and I have been together. It was nice for a change not having to rush around and go to two different houses. It was also really nice to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my grandmother for the first time! She has always lived in Upper Michigan, so I have not been able to spend too many holidays with her.

The Cutest Reindeer Of Them All

Yes, I know I need to post our Thanksgiving Pictures, but I couldn't wait to post these! I found some reindeer antlers and thought it would be great to torcher my child and have her picture made with them on. She actually didn't mind wearing them or having her picture made as you can tell. I did have some help from her "Aunt" or Cousin Jacque! I can't wait to see her opening her Christmas presents!
