Thanksgiving 2009

The weekend before Thanksgiving, Jake took Zowie on a short trip to Mesquite, NV for his grandmother's 98th birthday. Wow!! While they were gone, I caught up on a lot of things AND surprised them with having all the Christmas decorations up. They both loved it!!!

Our living room tree that shows through the front window (have to have one of those)

For Thanksgiving, we first stopped by my grandma's house for a "light" lunch (yeah right). Then headed off to Jake's brother's house in Goodyear for dinner.

Zowie met some new cousins that came down from Utah

After about an hour and a half, we moved on to Kyle's house (Jake's brother). We spent the night and then did the CRAZY Black Friday shopping.

Zowie takes after me being a tomboy. She's still girlie, but there is definite tomboy there. She loved playing with the trucks and Kevin.

She couldn't get enough of the chips and dip.

Random Zowie Pictures

So motherhood has kept me pretty busy lately. So busy that I haven't done much on our blog or facebook. I wouldn't trade it for anything!! Here's a few pictures of what's been going on this month.

How can you resist a cute spaghetti oh face like this?

Jake helped Zowie build this truck out tinker toys. He's so creative!!

Then he built this windmill of sorts. She had fun spinning it.

This was her first day of preschool. I forgot to take one with her teacher.

Going to church in one of her many cute dresses. I LOVE dressing her up. Girls are soooo fun!!

Goofing around in Mommy's jacket

Jake bought a bike seat for Zowie so we can take her along on our bike rides. She loves it!!

School Shower

My friends/co-workers gave a shower for Zowie in my classroom. It was very nice of them. Thank you!! Zowie loved everything!!!
