Yosemite

Mike has been planning a trip to Yosemite for about 6 months now and it finally happened! The sights were really impressive. We had a great time! And Zoey did really well sleeping in a new place and in a tent. We had friends join us with 3 other babies and they all were great! 

Dealing with a bear box was not so fun since Mike and I decided to bring our entire house along with us, but at least we did not see any bears. That is until we were leaving camp.  Ok.. I never saw one, but our friends Dan and Elise saw one in our camp area as we were leaving. 

It was great to go camping again after a long hiatus. 

Our next adventure will be to see the Sequoias.  

I love this girl

Growing up a little too fast!

Izzie's 1st birthday

Happy birthday Izzie! 

Zoey had a great time celebrating her cousins first birthday. Izzie loved her first cupcake and Zoey was laughing hysterically watching Izzie play with her purple ball. 

And Zoey got to sport her awesome new shoes from her Aunt Sasi... Thanks Sasi! 

funny day

So Zoey and I went to the grocery store today and I was so excited she was able to sit in the basket for the first time!!! It has been less enjoyable shopping in the past with her in the bjorn grabbing at everything. So we were walking around having a great time until Zoey kept leaning over to the left side only willing to sit on one leg. I was repositioning her when I noticed poop was ALL OVER the seat and she did not want to sit in it anymore. GREAT! I grabbed a wipe to get it off her leg and the seat and now had a big poopy wipe in my hand with no trash can in sight. I had to wrap it up in some paper and shove it in my bag. 

I just let her dangle to one side the rest of the trip while I finished shopping. All the while every lady over the age of 50 wanted to talk to her along the way. We finally made it out to the car and I was parked right next to this big yellow line. How was I supposed to know if I crossed the line the wheels on my cart would lock!!! So There I was, two feet from my car with a poopy baby, and a cart that would not move. Some guy saw me struggling so he was nice enough to drag my cart to my trunk for me. 

I got Zoey all cleaned up, loaded the car and drove home.  At home, I started unbuckling Zoey and noticed a little brown thing on her face. "IS THAT POOP??" She was laughing and sucking on her hands while, to my horror, I looked her over and there was poop on everything! She had gone all over the car seat before we even got the the store and I never noticed it. I was so grossed out and I am pretty sure she had her first taste of poop today! And she was as happy as could be. Funny day!
