Happy Mother's Day!

Yesterday I had a fun day being a Mommy. I took the day off work and went to Zoe's preschool for the Mother's Day Tea. It was great! We got to sit outside with our children and enjoy tea and snacks. Each child made their mom a beautiful tie dye scarf too. After the tea, Zoe and I went to lunch and spent the day together just the two of us. It was a great "girls day".

Happy Birthday Zoe!

Today is Zoe's 4th birthday. She had her very first "friend" birthday party. She had a pizza themed birthday party. The kids decorated aprons and wore chef hats that I made. They made their own personal pizzas and decorated their own cupcakes to take home. Steve and I made a "pizza" cake and we played pin the pepperoni on the pizza. We are all exhausted, but it was A LOT of fun. Happy Birthday Zoe!

Rhododendron Parade

This year Zoe's preschool participated in Eureka's annual Rhododendron Parade. On Friday afternoon, Woodside families decorated a trailer with balloons and tons of rhododendrons. Then this morning we got to ride on the float through the streets of Eureka while waving wildly and throwing candy to viewers on the sidelines. The kids had a lot of fun, and our float actually came in 2nd place out of all the schools that entered!

Just For Fun!

Found this fun website (photofunia) and thought I'd post a photo of Noah...Warhol style.

Photo Shoot Gone BAD!

I was desperately trying to get one good picture of the kids together. Here are a few highlights. As you can see I didn't have much success. Hopefully I'll have better luck next time.

Easter Eggs

Here are few pictures of Zoe dying Eggs. Easter egg dying is always so much fun! Towards the end Steve and Zoe put their final eggs into multiple colors. They were having a competition to see whose egg could come out brown. I don't think either of them achieved an actual brown color, but there are definitely two eggs that have very unique colors.

Happy Birthday Noah!

On Saturday, April 11, Noah turned 1. This year has gone by so quickly! As you can see from the photos he isn't really a baby anymore. The first photo was taken on the day he came home from the hospital. The rest of the photos are from Noah's mini birthday celebration at Granny's house. Next weekend we are going to celebrate his birthday with my family in Fresno. We took Noah to the doctor today for his one year check up. He weighs 22lbs 13 ounces (50th percentile) and is 30 1/2 inches long (80th percentile). Besides a wandering eye (which we still don't know if it's anything to worry about or not) He seems healthy and happy. Now we are just eagerly waiting for him to start walking!!!!
