Birthday Pics

Here are some pictures from Zoey's birthday and birthday party. We put this princess hat on her the morning of her birthday. She wore it all day, even at daycare if 0ne of the other children pulled it off she would walk over to one of the teachers with it in her hands for them to put it back on her. It was hysterical, she thought she was queen for a day, which she was of course (everyday actually).
She had yummy homemade Lasagna for dinner (one of her favorites). Of course she got as much in her hair and on her face as she got in her mouth. We had to hose her off in the sink! Scout enjoyed Zoey's birthday dinner too!
We've decide this is the bath of choice from now on, it was much easier and she enjoyed it!

Saturday was her birthday party and our cookout. Well, as we all know who live in the south, it has gotten entirely too HOT too quick this summer. It's not supposed to be 95 until late July or August. Our cookout became a cook the food out and eat it in. It was so hot that by the time everyone left our house our air was set on 68 degrees and it was 78 degrees in the house. Of course it was like 94 outside. But we had a great time. Lots of friends and family came to wish Zoey Happy Birthday. She really enjoyed her cake after she finally tasted it. She cried at first, but then we cut her a piece and she went to town. Again she had to hit the bath. She ended up with a chocolate beard and cake in every roll in her tummy. There was a chocolate layer on the bottom of the tub when we got her out, but at least the cake was enjoyed. Madison decorated it after she and Vince made it.

After bathtime, we headed outside to blow bubbles. Zoey loved chasing them around and visiting with her friend Tatum, who has the same birthday. They are so cute together. I'll post some pics from Tatums' precious party too.

Even though we said "No Gifts", Zoey made out like a bandit. Her favorite things are her drum set that her Aunt Lee, Uncle Tyler, and cousins gave her in honor of her Grandaddy (he loves to give the noisiest gift possible). She loves beating on that drum and wasted no time figuring it out either. She also loves her keyboard and with microphone that the Cantwells gave her. She is helarious with that microphone. She thinks it is so funny to hear herself, of course she has had to fight her big sister for it even though Madison has a real microphone and amp. Our precious friends the Osborn's made a donation to our adoption agency in her name, which really meant a lot to us! Obviously we all had a great day and hope to be able to get together with all of our friends more often. It was so great to get to see all their children as well, they grow up so incredibly fast!
