Labor Day and much much more

Labor day weekend was a blast. My brother Luke, his wife Linds, and their boys Lincoln and Ledger came to visit. We so loved having them here. We had a blast. Too bad our apartment is so tiny, but it worked out great anyways. We went to the zoo, had a picnic, went swimming, made a super cute wreath, went to the park, did glitter toes, and ate out a bunch and much much more. It was so much fun. My little Zoey is so sad and going through withdrawals without her two cousins here. She loves them to death. Thanks for making the trip up you guys. We love you.

And last weekend we were able to take one last trip to eastern Idaho and to go to the cabin in West Yellowstone. I love the cabin. It is the best place on earth. We were the last to go there and had to close up shop for the winter.

On another note Zoey is officially walking. I am loving every second of it and so is she. She even tries to get running and will get a little ahead of herself, but she loves it. She also has all top four teeth coming in at once, so it is a little painful and she is a little crabby.

We also purchased a new car, a Yukon. I am so excited about it. We now have two cars. It was a little rough living in a bigger city with only one car. Zoey and I walked everywhere we needed to go. Good exercise for me though I guess.

And last but not least, I thought my water broke a week ago. I had two large gushes in the morning after I had went pee. So I packed up a bag and Shawn had to come back from school and pick us up. Turns out it was just that I had peed my pants. I am still a little skeptical about it. Wouldn't you think I would know if I peed my pants. Oh well, I am glad because it was too early. She needs to cook in the oven a little longer, but I am ready and excited any day she decides to come. Still haven't decided on a name either, but hopefully we will soon.

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.

Random Pics

Here are some fun pictures of Zoey. She loves being outside. She loves clapping, blowing kisses, giving full on open mouth kisses, walking with her push toy, and we just love her to death. There are also a few random pics of her b-day. Of course decorations, but none of her actually on her b-day. I know horrible mom. I love summer time. I can't believe its already end of July. Time goes by way too fast, especially when you don't want it to.

Horrible

So I am a horrible mom. I haven't posted in forever and there has been so many exciting things happening. My little baby turned 1 year old. She is getting so big. And the horrible mom that I am I didn't get any pictures of the big day. Other family and friends did, but I was too busy in the moment and Shawn was busy with the video recorder so I have a few and will post them later. We have been hanging out at the cabin a ton too. It has been so fun. I love being outside and boating. I hope that is what heaven is like. Ha ha.... Poor Zoey got a double ear infection while we were up at the cabin though. No fun at all. I felt so bad for her. And I need a little voting for the next baby's name. We have four names narrowed down but just can't decide. Let me know your favorite. The names are:

Lyla
Blair
Gwen
Mya

The 4 B's with the Boyles

Man life has been crazy but I absolutely love it. So the first B:

Boise- My little family moved to Boise, ID for the summer and for Shawn's schooling next year. Shawn has a great job this summer that is paid- hard to find- and he loves every minute of it. I am so thrilled he found this job. He works so hard and deserves every minute of it. Our apartment is really nice. We have a swimming pool just outside so if you are ever in the area and want a free swim- call me up. The only thing I really am not loving is finding friends and our ward. We had such a blast in Moscow and we really miss it and miss our friends too. Our ward rocked and we wouldn't trade it for anything. Now we are in a Family Ward and its hard because Shawn and I are the only really young couple. Pray that we find some friends or this may be a long year for me. I just feel bad for Zoey because she loves interacting with kids and there is really no one her age so it makes it hard on her and me because I know I am boring for her to hang out with all day.

2nd B
Bahamas-
That's right! My parents took my siblings and their families to the Bahamas for my sister Kylee's graduation present. It was the best trip ever. We had our own little house with a swimming pool. It was extremely hot the whole time. We had a blast. We went to the world's largest aquarium, went to many beaches, hit up the straw markets and shopping, attended a zoo with a flamingo march, ate weird stuff, went to church which was awesome and may have to be another post, went to an aquatic park which was the funnest thing we did, pirate museum, and much much more. We had to even learn how to drive on the other side of the road- took us a while to get the hang of it. Zoey loved every minute of it. She loved being on the beach and playing in the water. She just ate handfuls of sand the entire time and loved it. Still cleaning out sand from her diapers. Luckily she didn't get an ounce of sun on her little white body.

3rd B
Baby Girl
Yep! Shawn and I are expecting baby number 2. Definitely not planned, but we are so happy to bring another girl into our lives. I am 24 weeks along. I am due October 1st. Zoey will only be 15 months old, so it is going to be crazy stuff for awhile, but I wouldn't change it for any other way. They are going to be the best of friends too. Shawn is just nervous about teenage years, which I don't blame him:) We have five names picked out, so you will have to cast your vote when I post that in a later post. Pregnancy has been another cake walk for me. I was a little more sick and felt a little different, so we were expecting to hear a boy, but its definitely a girl. Poor Shawn. No he actually wanted it to be a girl. He is such a good daddy.

4th B
Baby Steps
Our little Zoey is growing up way too fast. She is 11 months old. She finally has two teeth coming in on her bottoms. She has been great with it though and we couldn't even tell she was getting any teeth. She has mastered the crawl and is now pulling herself up to everything. She makes the funniest faces and loves to talk. She is beginning to take steps on her little baby walker and will take about seven steps at a time and then get tired and fall down. She has also mastered the kiss. When you say Kisses- she automatically will open up her mouth and come in for a big wet one, but she doesn't do it for everybody so you are lucky if she will. She loves giving mommy and daddy kisses though. She is so much fun and we just love her to death.

Sorry for the long post. I haven't updated in so long, but just wanted to catch everybody up on the adventures happening here at the Boyles. Hope everyone is enjoying summer.
