Sick, Sick, Sick!

What a year this has already been! The last few weeks have been crazy at the Spencer home! They day after Zoey's last party she was so sick! We ended up taking her to Primary's, and sure enough she had pneumonia. I couldn't believe that she had it again...this is her 3rd time with it! Poor thing...it just breaks our hearts to see her that sick. She was down for quite a few days...wouldn't talk, walk, eat, or do anything. Her fever finally broke, and she seemed to be doing better after that. I kept praying the whole time she was sick, and said if I could take it from her I would...well, what do you know...I was feeling really sick...went to the Dr, and now I have pneumonia too. Are you kidding me?! This is by far the worst I've ever felt in my life. It made me feel so bad that Zoey had to go through this. I'm still feeling really tired, and not a whole lot of energy, but overall I'm doing better. THEN just when we think everything's getting better...Zo starts crying for about 3 hours the other night. We couldn't get her calmed down. I take her to the Dr again yesterday, and she has swimmer's ear...WHAT, in the middle of Winter? The Dr said it was wierd to see that this time of year. So now she is back to miserable, and on more meds! Let's just hope the rest of the year will be better than how it's started!

Life Is Good!Align Right

3rd Birthday Party!

Last, but not least was Zoey's "friend" party. She has been talking about having a party with her friends for months now. I wasn't going to have one for her, but she was so set on it that I caved! It turned out really fun, and all the girls had a fun time. We decided to do a Tea Party. We had lunch with everything small...pb sandwiches, jello, cookies, cheese, crackers, and of course chocolate milk to drink!Eating lunch! I tried to get them to all talk like they were from England...instead they just looked at me and laughed like I was crazy!

After lunch we decorated sugar cookies! It turned out good...I was a little nervous that it was gonig to be a huge mess, but it worked out fine!


We played a few games, but for the most part the girls just wanted to play with all the new stuff Zoey got! Her friends were so cute to bring her some fun new things! She got more PetShops, some clothes, some cash, a picnic blanket and basket, and these cool coloring books that wash!


Such a happy girl!


All of Zoey's cute friends! I can't believe they are all actually smiling!

2nd Birthday Party!

The day after Zoey's birthday we had another party for her with family and a few friends who are like family :-)! We went to FatCats for pizza and bowling! The Pizza part happened, but the bowling did not! Long story...we ended up going to a different bowling alley close by! We had almost all of both of our families there! We were so glad that everyone came to celebrate with us. Zoey is so lucky to have so many people that love her so much! It was a great night, and thank you to all who came! We love you!

Our Baby Girl is 4!!




Blowing out the candles on her cookie! She doesn't like cake and icecream, so I made her favorite treat...sugar cookies!

Thanks again everyone for coming! We had a blast, and love you all!

The first Birthday Party!

Zo was one spoiled girl this year when it came to parties! She had 3! On her actual birthday Grandma Knighton wanted to take Zoey to Build-A-Bear and to lunch. So Kimmy came and joined us as well, and we just made a party out of it! Zoey of course chose to make an Elephant, she's obsessed with Elephants...she named her Maira. We had so much fun there! Then Zoey wanted breadsticks for lunch, and when she says she wants breadsticks...that means Olive Garden! Yum! So we had a great afternoon with Grandma and Kimmy!

Kissin Maira's little heart, and making a wish!



Kimmy & Zoey


Grandma and Zoey!



I thought it would be fun to take Zoey to get her nails done! She loved it of course! Just like her Mommy does! Probably not smart starting her off this young...we will just keep it limited to special occasions! I was really suprised that she chose blue nails...I thought she would pick red for sure, but blue with sparkles was her choice!



That night we just hung out at home. We got her some chicken nuggets for dinner since that's her favorite, and opened some presents. All she wanted was the Littlest Pet Shop, so that's what she got! She was SO excited!


Zo and Dad...I love this picture!

It was a great day, and we're so lucky to have such a sweet, happy little girl!

Happy Birthday Zoey!!!

I cannot believe that today my baby girl turned 4 years old! This has by far been the best time of my life! I love being a Mom, and have enjoyed every moment of the last 4 years. Zoey is such a joy, and we love her SO SO much! Life would be so boring without our Iddo Skiddo! Zoey is such a character, and always has us laughing. She has the sweetest heart, and is always concerned about others. If you are even close to crying, she just can't handle it! She will break down and cry with you! She can make me laugh when I'm not happy, and is always up for a big hug and kiss! She's my best little friend, and I look forward to every day I have with her! She's definately her Daddy's little girl, and has had him wrapped around her little finger from day one! We both love her more than words can say!
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!
