3 year check up

My big little girl is getting her 3 year old check up and everything looks good! She is already 38.5 inches and 37 pounds and talking up a storm! Only a day after her birthday and she seem more mature then yesterday ;) 

Happy Birthday Zoey

I can't believe my little girl just turned 3!!! She has grown up so much this year and she is such a delight to my life. The entire family came over and I made nummy pasta. The theme was a pink lion party with decorated lion sugar cookies. Zoey had a blast and her favorite part that she was so excited for in this picture was to open presents! She was cracking everyone up! Happy Birthday my beautiful little girl, we love you so much! pictures

Sister's Gift Exchange

Before we started our gift exchange all the kids came with for pizza and ice cream and then went over to B's. This year we drew names and I had Lisa and got her a bunch of nummy tea with a fantasy pot, I think she really like it. We then played a round of games to end the night. Fun times as always :)

Christmas Day

For Christmas this year Jay made a delicious breakfast and then we followed it up with passing out gifts. We tried to nap Zoey so she would last longer but that didn't happen, oh well. We ended the day with Curtis dancing with Lily and Zoey, it was pretty cute! Merry Christmas everyone! pictures

Christmas Eve

This year Zoey was able to be in the play and she played a wiseman. It was pretty cute how she watched all of us act and tried to follow along. That night, after we got home, Curtis and I gave her the dollhouse I've been so excited to give her. She loved it and I hope she get's a ton of play hours on it. Now to bed and to get ready for Christmas! pictures

Baking with Mommy

It's that time of the year to make special Christmas cookies together. Zoey enjoyed mixing it together, rolling the dough and then didn't want to help again until it was time to decorate. Mostly she just wanted to eat the M & M's :) She is so much fun to cook with!

Lunch with Daddy and SNOW!

Today was a good day with Zoey! We went to Dad's work for lunch, errands around town and then made dinner together. At night it snowed so we went outside for a quick walk and it looked like a winter wonderland! I just love snow :)

Go Hawks

While Curtis and I went to the game my Mom and Dad took Zoey to Allie's birthday party and it looks like they had fun!

School sing-a-long

Just before the Christmas break, the school put on a sing-a-long with all the age groups. I was able to get work off and go see her sing and I'm so glad I did. It was the cutest thing EVER! pictures and video

Picture's with Santa

We are so lucky to have our own personal Santa, Mr. Krush! We went over there this afternoon and Santa asked Zoey what she wanted for Christmas and she said a panda bear. We think the reason she asked for this was that the year before that is what she got from Santa. Mrs. Clause went to the back and brought one out for her and the look on her face was priceless! The joy of Santa :) pictures

Ryker's birthday

Ryker's birthday party was at a bouncy house in Northbend and it was a huge success! All the kids had a blast, what a fun idea for a birthday party. 

School picture!

Zoey Lucille White - 3yrs

Sound of Music at the 5th

As a family we went to the Sound of Music at the 5th Avenue and Zoey sat mostly through the whole thing and loved all the signing. I loved it of course and it continues the be my favorite movie of all time!!! :)

All decorated

As always I had so much fun decorating the house for Christmas and this year I outdid myself. I used the snowflakes from Zellie's birthday party in the entry way and created a winter wonderland in the livingroom. The tree Curtis cut actually turned out perfect after he built a stand for it. The gap of branches in the back wasn't even noticable, he was right! ;) I love the way everything turned out and I got my Santa this year too! I'm getting so excited for Christmas!!! pictures

Tree hunting

What a fun day in the mountains with the Eiler's and friends. Curtis took off again this year down the mountain side looking for the perfect Christmas tree and got a lopsided tree that Candy and I teased him about. He swears that it's going to be the perfect tree...we shall see :) We attempted to make an enormous snowman but it got too big to stack them so we just used them for climbing. Zoey loved riding her sled down the hills and eating snow until she got too cold. We ended up spending the second half of the trip in the truck getting warm and dancing/signing to music. I always have so much fun with my little girl. pictures

Hawks game with B

I got to take Barbie to the Hawks game and we had a blast regardless that it was freezing outside! We dressed really warm with long johns on and enjoyed watching tailgating on the way in. GO HAWKS!!! pictures

Happy Birthday Zellie

Kayla and Zellie came to town for Zellie's birthday party and Zoey had so much fun! They got to play a few Frozen game and have cake and ice-cream. I helped Lisa make Frozen snowflake decoration with my Cameo and they turned out perfect. Maybe I can use them for Christmas later? Happy 3rd Birthday Zellie, we love you! pictures

Happy Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we went over to Jay and Grandma's for a nummy feast! As always Jay cooked the most amazing ribs and meet. Zoey enjoyed playing with Lily, Edward and Niaja. After we got home Curtis and I played a fun game of Rummikub and he beat me!!! What a fun Thanksgiving :) pictures

Cutest little Hawk ;)

Daddy's little helper

Zoey is always wanting to see what Daddy is working on and the cutest part is that he always let's her help! I just love watching these two interact :)

Bedtime routine ;)

Extended Holiday Weekend

Curtis and I took a few extra day's off to make a nice long weekend and we had the best time! My mom watched Zoey for a few hours during her nap so we could go out for a date on Veteran's Day. We ended up walking along the beach at Alki and had lunch at Cactus. It was one of my favorite dates to date! The rest of the weekend was fun filled with Candyland board game, hike in the woods, trip to Snoqualmie Falls, lots of Zoey time, digging in the backyard and the Seahawks game. To end the weekend my Mom and Dad had Zoey spend the night and I went to work in the morning without taking her to school and that was truly a treat! Best stay-cation yet! pictures

Happy Birthday to my handsome Marine!

Thanksgiving decorations

This year I got my metal turkey to go with the Pilgrim's and it makes me so happy! I love decorating and I'm so thankful that my husband supports my habit (or at least tolerates it)! :)

Pucker up

Trick-or-Treat

First thing in the morning we started making halloween cupcakes per Zoey's request. Her favorite part she loved the most was putting the sprinkles on and poking in the spider tops. Fun and messy times in the kitchen are some of my best memories with her!

After nap we got dressed in her costume and went tricker treating. Just like last year, Zoey was shy when they opened the door and you could barely hear her say "trick or treat". She was the cutest thing ever and even despite the sideway's rain we all had a blast. Now I'm going to have some hot apple cider, sit in front of the fire and pass out candy! Happy Halloween!!! pictures

Costume Day

Since Friday was our work Halloween party and Blue Friday I decided to kill two birds with one stone and go all out as a 12th fan! I even decorated my desk :) Zoey just wanted to be a princess and had fun at dance class with Kira. Excited for tomorrow and ticker treating!

Halloween decorating

Hhhhmmm....do I need more spiders? I have way too much fun decorating! Happy Halloween

Pumpkin Patch

Today we took Zoey to the Pumpkin Patch out in Enumclaw and the Herrera's got to come with us. I was impressed with this place and they had a ton of fun things to do. We all had a blast! Curtis scheduled a picture appointment for us and we got some family pictures there too. I don't think Zoey can get any cuter :) pictures

After we left we headed over to Jane's house to see Lola and Zoey got to hold her for the first time. She was so gentle and I could tell that was really special for her. I can't believe Lola still has her red hair, love it!

Buddies!

On Curtis's Friday off he took Zoey on a picnic and she thought that was the coolest thing ever! Best dad in world :)

Jeah Senior pics

Jeah is a senior this year and asked me if I could take her pictures. Of course I did and we had a blast doing it. We took them down at Coulon and the weather thankfully held up for us. It had been raining all morning, stopped when we got there and started dumping at our last picture location. What a beautiful and amaing young women Jeah has grown into and I can't wait to see where life takes her. pictures

Phil and Sarika

Work was extra fun this week as both Phil and Sarika were in town. We are launching our new recipe pages soon so it was good to have them here. I wish I got to see them more often, I miss working with them on daily basis....I don't miss NYC though :)

Mom to Hawks game

For Thursday night football I took my mom to her first NFL football game. She had a blast and enjoyed seeing what happens on the field during commercials. It was fun be able to experience this special event for her together :) 

We had a few bumps getting into the stadium though as I forgot to tell her that she couldn't bring a bag or purse so we had to check her bag, buy a clear one, waited in the wrong line (security told us wrong) and almost missed the kick off. I was so mad at security because they said my mom could fold up her empty bag and put it into the clear plastic bag but when we got to the front of the line they said sorry no and we had to go wait in the bag check line and waisted all that time. All said and done we had a blast together! GO HAWKS!!!
