Still more pics

Okay, this is the last bunch with people in it other than my most immediate family. I don't usually post pictures of other people without their permission first so if anyone has an issue with me posting pictures of them, let me know and I'll remove! Thanks again for coming! =)

More pics

Success!

Well, it's taken me a while to post about Zaylee's birthday, but here goes! First of all, thanks to everyone for coming and for everything. Zaylee has been loving her presents and clothes. And, it was so great to see everyone and just to chat! Love you all!

Party Plans

So it looks like we will be having the party at 6:00 pm on Saturday and we will provide the cake and ice cream. We look forward to seeing you! If you would either leave me a comment or email me and let me know if you are coming, so I know how many to plan for, I would appreciate it!

Presents from Mom and Dad

She loved opening her presents!! We video taped that part so I don't have any still photos to show, but she did a great job! She loved ripping the paper and pulling the clothes out of the wrapping paper. She was so excited!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAYLEE!!

Well, here she is!! The first photo of the day for the birthday girl! YEA!

We wrapped a couple of presents for her last night to open today when Alex gets home from school. We had to put them in the closet last night because she didn't want to have to wait until today to play with them....and guess where she went to first thing this morning after breakfast....yep, right to the closet! She knows what she wants! Unfortunately, we don't want Alex to miss out on her opening her first birthday presents so she still has to wait and that didn't make her too happy!

So, look forward to more photos later!

Lots of fun!!

Look how cute she is playing in Brad's pool!! See, you want to come to her party and play with her! Not to mention you all get to see each other! =) So, I am trying to decide which everyone would prefer timewise and food wise....notice the poll on the right hand side....please VOTE! I am very indecisive and would love to have your input.

Also, the horse shoe posts are in the ground and ready to be played with! (Speaking of which, Alex and I had a trial run with it last night and I kicked his butt 5-1!)

Zaylee's Birthday

Okay, so I know I've already told most of you about this, but we are going to celebrate Zaylee's birthday on Saturday, the 21st. I still don't know what time but it will be in our backyard and we will have cake and ice cream and maybe a little more--I haven't decided for sure yet. And horseshoes (if we get the horseshoe pit set up) and maybe kiddie pool swimming and the neighbors have a little kids play castle with a little slide in it to play with. I will give more details as I decide them, but I wanted to let everyone know (that I haven't told before) just so you know that you are invited. I'm really bad about calling and inviting people so here you go...YOU ARE INVITED!! That is your official invitation. (As long as you are not just some random stranger that managed to happen upon my blog and are reading this....if you are, you are NOT invited, sorry!!) =) Call or email me if you have any questions about where we live or anything.

She's a climber!

Just watch...it's self explanatory....she's a monkey!!! =)

Quick Update

SHE'S SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!! Yes, it's a miracle. Nearly a year after she was born she is finally learning that sleep is a good thing and so she is sleeping through the entire night. I didn't want to jinx myself so I waited for a week to post this to see if it was the real thing and it is!!! (Well at least for the most part....2 of the nights she woke up just one time each night but she put herself back to sleep one of those times so they still count.) She goes to bed about 8:30 and sleeps until about 7. It's FANTASTIC! I forgot how much I LOVE sleep!! =)

The picture is just for fun. Alex and Zaylee were out playing with the peonies and he got this cute picture of her.

Gettin' some teeth!!!

We couldn't get her to open her mouth up for a good picture of her top teeth so finally Alex was playing with her and hung her upside down (anyone who knows Zaylee knows that she LOVES to hang upside down) and we we were able to get this one. Kinda unconventional but hey it worked!! =)
