The MOTHER OF ALL POSTS

*WARNING* This is a SUPER LOOOONG post

So I FINALLY got around to downloading all my pictures from my camera (only because I had to... my memory card was full) So here all the pictures I wanted to post on my blog that I didn't the past 5 months. They are not in any special order. This post is for me since I want to get a blog book at the end of this year.

Whitney's Wedding

Jon and Whitney got married finally and Jed and I went to their reception at the hardware building downtown. The wedding was beautiful and Whitney and Jon looked so happy! She is a GORGEOUS bride!

Driving home from the Hospital

First Family Picture right after Zoey was born. Don't judge... I gained a ton of weight, had preeclampsia (lots of swelling and water weight) and just gave birth!

Family picture on Easter

SMILE! Wearing her easter Day outfit

The Easter Bunny brought Zoey some fun stuff! She loves her piglet... she holds on to piglets face like she does mine and Jeds when piglet is next to her in her car seat ( any one know if Piglet is a boy or girl? Jed and I have NO idea)

Easter Jammies

Sorry....

This is gross, but Zoey has been having MAJOR blowouts at the WORST times ( not that there is ever a good time for blowouts) This specific one is at work. It has also happened at Benihana and it was EVERYWHERE. I had to change her on the bathroom floor because there was no counter or baby changing station and it got on my shirt too because I didn't notice until I took her out of her seat and held her against me. NOT FUN.

Zoey doesn't like sitting in the Bumbo still. In this picture she really wants the cough drops on the table next to the bumbo.

BATH TIME WITH DADDY

ZOEY'S BLESSING APRIL 17, 2011Darla, Megan , Me and Jen. Darla Megs and Becca gave Zoey the I am a Child of God plaque and an adorable outfit! Thank you guys so much and thank you to all of my out of town family for making the trip for her special day

Family picture before heading to Church bright and early at 9:00. I hope I never have another baby blessing at 9:00. It was very stressful to get out the door and have everything ready Beautiful dress courtesy of Grandma Stucki. Thank you Grandma! She looked so pretty. I shed a few proud Mommy tears through out the day. Jed gave Zoey a beautiful blessing. I am so grateful for an amazing Husband who honors his Priesthood and can bless my babies.Ready to go! She is a super happy baby in the morning. Always smiling and giggling at us.

Loves the blanket Grandma Bonan made for her!

Benihana with my Parents

Kisses for my cute girl.. Mommy loves you! Lauren's Year End Drill Performance (March)

Lauren's last performance as a Las Scelle. It will be really weird not watching her anymore. I'm not sure if I know anything else then going to competitions on a Saturday in December. Lauren- you are amazing! I have loved watching you and you make me a very proud sister. You are an amazing dancer and made me cry more than once. Love you!!!While we were cleaing up Elisse found a blast from OUR past! We did a prop dance when we were on drill with these. It was only the COOLEST dance you will ever see. I loved being on Drill with Elisse and it was a lot of fun to reminisce about the good old days

Aside from one minor melt down, Zoey did really well even though it was so loudProud parents with Lauren before the show started

March Date with Emily and Alisha at Texas Roadhouse

Pictures of the girls and then the boys. NOT a good place to take a relatively young baby. It was SO loud and they did a birthday right next to our table and yelled really loud. Zoey was not happy.

WHEW! I told you that was a long post. If you made it through, congrats! I am so grateful for good friends and amazing family. These last 5 months with Zoey have been amazing and I can't wait for what the future brings!

Better late than never!

Zoey is actually coming up on her 5 month birthday, but we finally took took her to her 4 month appointment . She was sick when her original appointment was so we rescheduled so the shots wouldn't make her completely miserable. Here are her stats for both her sick appointment and her well child visit. It was fun to see how much weight she gained in only 2 weeks

4 months
12 lbs 14 oz. 33 percentile

4.5 months
13 lbs 5 oz. 29 percentile
25 inches 64 percentile

She is so much fun right now and has the cutest personality! She has started reaching for things and will reach out and caress my chin and just stare at me when she is sleepy. It is so cute :) she grabs things if I put them in front of her and the instantly go into her mouth. She has reverted back to being an awful sleeper waking up 10 + times a night which is really hard on me but luckily she is adorable and worth it! And... SHE ROLLED OVER FOR THE FIRST TIME! I am such a proud Mama... she only did it one afternoon a few times and hasn't done it since but I'm still proud :)

I keep telling myself that I need to get the pictures off my camera... And one day I will! Jed and I went to my childhood best friend whitney's wedding and I have pictures I need to post of that. It was a beautiful reception and Whitney was a gorgeous bride!

Until I finally put up those pictures, here are a few from my camera phone




Zoey used to fall asleep at night while eating but recently won't do it. She LOVES watching TV so now I just lay her on the couch and she watches tv until she decides she's tired enough to sleep. Last night she watched a movie with us for an hour and a half before she decided she was tired





She can't quite sit up on her own yet so I propped her in the corner of the couch so she could see the TV





Aunt Amy was super sweet and got Zoey a new larger swaddle me... Zoey loves it!!





She always takes her binkie out of her mouth and then starts crying because she wants it in so I gave her two more to hold on to hoping it would keep one in her mouth. This is how the ended up. She still took the binkie out of her mouth





On a walk with mommy around the neighborhood wearing her cute sunhat Grandma Bonan gave her. Jed got me a jogging stroller for mothers day that I LOVE but zoey isn't such a big fan. I think she will like it better once it's a little warmer outside





This is a picture of one of the photobooth pictures we took at Whitney's wedding. I need to scan it in because this is my new favorite picture of the three of us. Zoeys face is adorable!





I bought her a new swimsuit and even though it isn't warm enough to use it yet I had to do a fashion show and try it on. I don't know if she will like the pool since she doesn't like being cold... I guess we will find out when it gets warmer





Can i take the car Dad?

Lauren carried on the family tradition and graduated with her CNA (Sara and I both have our CNA). I got to the graduation early and had Zoey sit on my lap while we waited for Grandma and Lauren to show up. She loved grabbing on to the wheel and playing with the controls










Way to go Lauren!
I can't believe she is graduating from high school next week!

All of my dance friends will appreciate this:





Zoey stands in fifth position! I think this is a sign that she will love dance! Now Elisse and I need to come up with her Russian stage name :)

Today for memorial day we went up to park city and met my family
At main street pizza and noodle and then went to the outlets. Zoey was not happy in her car seat but it was cold and raining so I didn't want to take her out. This is the solution Jed came up with





She loved it! She didnt love having a second blanket over her head when she went outside though and she let us know it! That girl has some
Lungs! Jed is such a good daddy and Zoey has him wrapped around her finger. I love my little family!

Has it been 4 months since I had my darling little girl already?!? It goes by so fast... Here are some pictures of that last month from my phone. Once I get around to loading pictures off my camera I'll have to do a mega post :)



First Sunday at church ... Needless to say I was super worried



Beautiful blessing dress



Sleeping in the pack -n -play at work



Sassy face



She likes to have her face covered when she sleeps. It freaks me out!



Happy Easter!



She is already trying to be independent and pushes our hands away when we give her a bottle



Big smiles for Daddy



Aunt Leesy made me a super cute butterfly clip



Walking around with Aunt Lauren while we planted flowers for my mom for Mothers Day



My awesome mommy on Mothers Day. She helps me so much with Zoey and always has the best advice. I'm lucky to have the best mom in the world! Love you mom!

Some things about Zoey at 4 months
-got her first cold (and still has it) it makes me so sad to see her sick and not be able to help her
-her legs are so strong! I feel like she is going to walk away!
- she laughs all the time now. She LOVES to dance with mommy to Backstreet Boys
-only takes good naps if we are at home and she can sleep in her swing
- has the CUTEST personality already and I can't wait to watch it grow and develop
- weighed 12 lbs 14 ounces at the dr yesterday. We had to reschedule her check up so I'll have all those stats in a few weeks.
-loves tv. Tries to squirm to see the tv if it's on
-getting close to rolling over. She rolls from her back to her side but not all the way to her stomach yet

Missing are: lots more pictures from Zoeys blessing, Easter, Laurens Year End Show , Elisses Graduation and many many more! I'll get to those eventually... :)
