new things

I finished Zoey's room a while ago, but have not had time to post a picture.  I still have plenty of organizing to do, but it is done for now. Mike painted the great paintings above her crib. I painted the owl on the shelve, made the pillows on the bed, her quilt and refinished the yellow table and my brother-in -law made the crib and the shelves. I am really happy with how everything turned out. 


And we finally got new chairs. I decided I could not live without these so my sister picked them up for me at Potato barn in AZ and lucky for us Scout and Tony came out last night so Scout could go to Disneyland for her 8th birthday. That meant getting our chairs earlier than anticipated and getting to hang out with them for a night!

Cute pictures

My sister Kim took these cute pictures of Zoey so I wanted to share them with everyone.... I think she is so cute!!

BURGERS!!!

I love burgers and Mike stumbled upon this gem of a place just down the road from our house! The burgers are awesome so we had to take Kim, Aftin and Zoey to taste it as soon as we could. We will be regulars to the Hole in the Wall Burger Joint! The best thing about this place is it shares a wall with Winchell's donuts.

Happy Anniversary Mikey!!!! (on the 15th)

It is hard to believe that Mike and I have been married for a year! It has gone by so fast and we got the best anniversary gift possible..a cute little baby girl. It has been a great year. We managed to get away for a full hour and forty five minutes before I felt like we needed to get back to Zoey (lucky for us we had Kim here to babysit). We went to my favorite place to eat...Houston's.

For some reason I have hated sushi until trying the coconut shrimp roll here. now I cannot get enough of that roll. I am not sure that I have become a sushi lover, it may just be a love for the one roll, but I could eat it for every meal! I am excited to start a new year with my little family.

Baby Zoey!




Our little girls has arrived! It was an interesting delivery... everyone said delivery is not so bad, but I will beg to differ. I am sure my ridiculous fear of foreign objects puncturing my skin was the main culprit to my unenjoyable experience. It also was not very awesome that my epidural worked right up until the actual delivery part and I got to experience what a natural birth feels like on half of my uterus. This just confirms those who choose to have a natural birth are completely insane!
Now that it is all over I am so happy to enjoy having Zoey here! She is so cute and fun to have around. She is really little. She was 5 lbs 3 oz and 18.5 inches long. Thankfully I have my sister here and mike of course to help with everything.
I am sure there will be more to come. Enjoy these pictures for now.
