Help Me!!!

So, Saturday morning daddy went to get Zoey out of bed when we heard her playing on the monitor. He went in and found this!

Of course he had to run and get his camera. He said that when he first went in she was screaming and crying and when he went to get his camera he came back and she wasn't in the same spot. So he calmed her down and put her back here so he could get a few pictures!!! He's so funny!

Well, Zoey hasn't been sleeping very well the last week or so. She has a cold and her little cough is getting horrible and she's so stuffy. Her coughing fits at night wake her and I think her throat hurts, at least it sounds like it does. My poor baby. She also just got over a yeast diaper rash. I hope things start looking better for her!

Oh, we got all moved into our new apartment and I'll get pictures put up at some point! I also saw on my camera a bunch of other posts that I have neglected to do so if you see a post come out in the next little but that should have come out months ago just laugh at me ok! I hope every one is doing great!

More Pics of Zoey!

I know I've been bad. As always life has been busy! (Who's life isn't busy, right!) Anyways, this Sat we move into our new apartment and I am SO excited! So I've been packing and getting things ready in the little time I have in between getting home from work and having to put Zoey down for bed, at which point I can no longer get anything done in the room because she's asleep! But it's all going good. Sat I got pretty much everything done, now it's just odds and ends.

Anyways, Saturday before last we went and Amy, who Clay works for editing her wedding photos (she has her own photography business). She does amazing portraits and wanted to do some of Zoey for us. Below is the link to all the pics she did for us. I am so grateful for her doing them because they are WONDERFUL! And it was our first time to do family pictures which I just love! I already know where I want hang them up at the new place! So, take a minute and look through the pictures if you want. Here are a few of my favorites...

Amy's blog (Zoey has her own post on here!): http://daisyphotostudio.blogspot.com/

I'm getting around to it!

Danielle (dbryan-danielle.blogspot.com) tagged me, that's ok, I still love her!
Ok,...
1. I talk to myself, alot! I'll have full conversations in my head. I will even use hand gestures!
2. I would rather it be 100 degrees outside then 60. Give me heat!!!
3. I love mindless tasks. I don't mind filing, typing, organizing, cutting, stuffing, folding, or any mindless task, especially when I don't feel like dealing with other stuff!
4. I enjoy getting together and being with people even if I don't talk the whole time. I love sitting back in a group of people and just watch what's going on!
5. I check my blog about 50 times a day, but I'm bad about posting or commenting on others but I LOVE when people comment on mine.
6. I collect Nativity sets. I have about 40 right now!
7. I'm shy! There are a bunch of people that I would love to get to know better but I hate going up to them first and trying to make that initial contact, it scares me to death! I guess I'm afraid of rejection or something.

Well, I guess I have to tag 7 people, uh,... ok, so since this is a random fact tag I'm just going to tag a few random people! Paige Sinclare(paigesinclair.blogspot.com) Clay Meldrum(claymeldrum.blogspot.com) Katie Curtis (thekatiecurtis.blogspot.com) Laura Silver (keepitonthedlsilver.blogspot.com) Brett & Emily Meldrum (meldrumland.blogspot.com) Jen Wecker (theweckers.blogspot.com) and... Jessica Gillespie (gillespiebunch.blogspot.com)

Hope everyone is has a great day. I'll post a better post later, I've just been getting use to work, life, and all the new fun things happening!

Zoey's 6 Month Pictures and More

When I went to Houston, my mom and I took Zoey to get her 6 month pictures taken. Below is the link to see all the pictures. I think she is just the most adorable ever!

Here are my two favorites I think...


So, I've been working for 3 whole days now and I can say that I really enjoy it! It's not bad, the only hard part is of course not seeing Zoey and Clay , and not having enough time in the day to get everything done that I need to. Things are going great though, we found an apartment that I just LOVE. We already put a deposit down and are just waiting to hear back to see if our application was approved! I really hope we get this apartment. I'm even more excited because it's a 3 bedroom and my sister is going to be coming to live with us and go to school here in Dallas! If it all works out then we will be moving Nov 15 (right around the corner!). The apartment is in The Colony which I'm sad is out of the Ward but I'm excited for the new things that life has thrown my way!

I'm also excited because this Saturday will be my first craft how! It is in The Colony in the Community Center from 9am-3pm. If anyone lives in the area you should come by and say hi! My friend Danielle and I got a booth together and we're excited to enter this new world of craft shows! If it goes well then we will find others to do, otherwise it will just be another fun day hanging out with Danielle.

Well, I'm tired and have to work tomorrow so I guess I'd better go to bed! Hope life is going well for everyone!

A New First

Well, it's finally happened. Zoey's sick :( She's had a runny nose the last week or so but yesterday and today it turned nasty green. She also had a low fever last night. Her eyes started to get goopy too so I called the Pedi to see what I can do to help relieve some of her congestion. She hasn't been able to finish a whole bottle at any feeding for a week now and I just want her to be back to normal! He wanted to me to come and and so I did. He checked her out and said I did good to catch it and call early like I did because if I had waited a day or two more then she would have had a full blow ear infection too. So now I have oral and eye drop antibiotics to give her for the next few days. I can tell that she's not feeling her best because she's been sleeping more and has been especially clings and grumpy today.

Well, such is life! At least she's still a mostly happy baby and we caught it early so we can take care of everything and be back to normal in no time!

Good Morning Sunshine!

I love waking up each morning to see my little Sunshine. She is always so happy in the morning! Here is an idea of what I see each morning when I wake up...

At first she would just smile at us from inside her crib.

Then she started to make faces at us! I guess she likes the taste of the sides!
Some mornings she just relaxes until I'm ready to get up and get her out.
Then this morning! I found her doing this....


From where I was sleeping you could only see the top of her head sticking up over the edge. It was SO cute! Zoey has been pulling to stand for a few weeks now but this was the first time I had seen it in her crib, and for some reason it just made her seem so grown up! She loves to pull herself to standing any chance she gets. Yesterday I took the Sampson boys to Karate and I decided to go in and watch them since the class isn't that long. Zoey found the glass doors and stood up and just watched everything forever! And this morning she was standing next to the couch and I had to go use the restroom so I sat her down in the middle of the room, because she's not the greatest at getting down from standing yet (luckily no bruised head yet!) and when I came back she was standing up at the couch again! Oh and the other day I found her trying to climb up the Sampson's stairs! Scary!!!! Guess it's time to get a baby gate!
