My Fun Filled Week











So while Shawn was in Moscow for the week for a week long course for school, Zoey and I headed to Shelley to spend time with my family. We had so much fun. In fact there was so much fun that I ended up leaving Zoey with my parents for another week while I am in Boise getting things ready for baby #2. Zoey loves her Papa and GoGo. They have a blast. She is definitely better for them than me too. That sucks... My mom and I also made some fun crafts. We made a scripture cover, bows, watch bands, and the cutest car seat cover. We of course ate well, visited friends and grandparents, went to a splash park, shopping, stayed up way too late, and much much more. Thanks again mom and dad for keeping Zo so I can get some stuff done and relax before my world ends soon. You guys are the best. Love you tons-
P.S. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my little Zo to like riding in the car. As soon as we put her in the car seat she freaks out and its the worst thing ever. It doesn't matter if we are only going for a ten minute ride or a four hour ride. Its all the same. I thought about buying a DVD player for her to watch Baby Einstein and movies on. She honestly hates her car seat. The funny thing is that she will play in her car seat and sit in it if its just sitting in the house on the ground, but once we strap her in and go in the car, she is a crying monster.

Oh The Fun In Boise









Boise is awesome. We are loving the weather and all the fun things to do. Our summer has been jam packed this last little bit. There is a Splash Park that Zoey absolutely loves going to. She can just crawl around and get wet. Its nice for me so I don't have to watch her so carefully. I also had my big 25th birthday. We went garage saleing the morning of and then went and played frisbee golf and went out to dinner. We got this rocking horse at the garage sale and Zoey absolutely loves it. She thinks she is a cowgirl. It was just another day, but so fun to spend with my two favorite people in the whole world. Baby #2 is doing great. I swear I can't get any bigger in the belly or I will explode and I still have 7 weeks left. My back is in so much pain and I just feel so more uncomfortable than I did with Zoey. Oh well, I am just more than grateful that I can bear children and bring them into this world. I also had to take the three hour glucose test. It was horrible and I never want to do that again. Thankfully I passed it and everything is good with me and baby. Zoey is growing up so fast and maturing so fast too. She has started to take her first steps, but still likes to have a hold of someone's finger when walking. She has also started these fun temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way and she will throw her head back on the floor and throw a huge fit. Not quite sure how to handle it. I didn't think that was supposed to happen until she turns like 2. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have pretty much just ignored her and she eventually stops quickly. Anyways, that is what we have been up to. I am so sad that summer is coming to an end. Shawn starts school in a little over a week. Not ready for that to happen. I am gonna be a single mom of two.
