Cousin Zoey turns ONE!

Back in December, Pete's sisters little girl, Zoey, turned one! They moved back closer to "home" last summer, and we are so thankful to have them closer than a 20 hour drive! :) The theme was WinterONEderland. Adorable. They were in the process of buying their house, so she had the party at my mother-in-law's! So sweet! 




















Happy birthday, Zoey! We can't wait for all the fun memories ahead!

Zetta turns TWO!

Hang with me over the next few months as I get caught back up on life! Back in November our sweet baby, Zetta turned 2 years old! She woke up to cinnamon rolls and streamers! We went to visit my parents that evening at their little part time job and enjoyed some delicious frozen yogurt. They even had balloons for the birthday girl! Zetta's best buddy, Mila, also came and played for a bit. Who would have guessed balloons would be so much fun ;) 

Over the weekend we had a simple bonfire, chili, and s'mores party for our winter baby. The weather held out until she was opening her last gift, and then it started sleeting so we moved the party inside! There are a lot of pictures, but I couldn't pick just one! I loved this party! It was simple and so much room for all the little kiddos to run around. This just might be Zetta's party theme for the rest of her life! ;) The pictures are not in any particular order. I had a whole s'mores bar with different chocolates for the middle and you could pick from cookies or gram crackers, for your "bun". We had the party at my parent's house, and my dad will never disappoint with the size of the fire! 

(Sorry, I cannot get this to flip! grr.)

Happy 2nd birthday, Zetta Mae! We love you so, so much! 

Cousin Day

A few months ago my sister came down for a wedding and I got to babysit her kid's! It was a fun filled day!  We loaded up from my parent's house to head back to my house in hopes Zetta would fall asleep in the car(and she did!) so when we got home and transferred the little kid's- Wyatt, Sloane, and I just played outside until they woke up. It was so fun to play with them and just hear their little laughs. 

After they woke up, the "big" kids and I loaded up and headed out to my aunt and uncles to see their new puppies! Nora stayed back with Pete because last time we went out there she was terrified of them!! The kid's had the best time running and playing! 

(my aunt will kill me if she sees that I put this picture on here :))

After we ran around the whole house, fed the chickens, looked at the cows, we loaded back up in the car and headed to get pizza and play at the park! There was another little boy there, and Wyatt just jumped on in and started playing with him while the girls played together. It is fun to see him play with kid's his own age and be confident like that! He is getting so big! My sister gave strict instructions to not let them fall asleep on the way home or I would have a LONG night ahead of me! We chatted about the day all the way home, took a bath, played with Uncle Pete and baby Nora a little before he took them downstairs to watch a movie while I put Nora down. By the time I got down there, Zetta and Sloane were out cold and I snuggled up with Wyatt for a little bit until he fell asleep. My parent's came and picked them up after they left the reception and took them back to their house. Those kids were worn OUT and are the champions of car transferring. My dad loaded them in their car from my house and unloaded them back into their beds at their house without either of them waking up. That is a successful cousin day my friends! I cannot wait until the next time!
