No more baby beds! :(

Well the time has come! Zoey is now in the toddler bed. Can't believe we haven't even been home 5 mths and she's already out of the baby bed. I could've kept her in there longer, but every morning and after every nap, when she wakes up she stands up and SCREAMS at me until I come and get her. AND she's almost 30 lbs, so putting her in there and taking her out doesn't help my back situation! HAHAHA I can't believe that the time has come, but it had to! So, we will see if she gets up 100 times a night or does like Olivia and just stays in the bed! let's pray for the latter! HAHA My big girl! Adopted on October 25th, 2011 and in a toddler bed on March 10, 2012 at the age of 25 mths and 1 wk!

Presents from China

 I couldn't believe it when I got a package from China ON ZOEY'S EXACT BIRTHDAY! I could tell it was from the Weidner's (the people who run SHH) but I didn't know what to expect! Well, first I couldn't believe it was something sent to us and it got here on the 16th of February..the day Zoey turned 2!! Second, I couldn't wait to open it! I kinda thought it might be the pillowcase I had sent to Zoey while there, but it wasn't :( But..it was presents for Zoey! From BO AYI (One of the Ayi's who took care of Zoey the whole time she was at SHH! It was so sweet! They sent a letter and a card too! Also, a BEAUTIFUL dress that she wore that Sunday! It was beautiful! Thank you BO! We loved it and Zoey looked so beautiful in the dress!!

This is the dress she sent her! I fit her perfectly and it is so beautiful on her! I LOVE it! It was so soft too!!!

PRESENTS!!

I hate that this is the first post, but I can't figure out how to change the order. If I do, then this will be last but if not, then I'm sorry! I wanted the last post about her birthday to be first!! HA But anyway, she LOVED her presents!!! Really! She loved them all! Thank you for all of of them!

We are so glad that some of our family was able to make it for Zoey's birthday and our Surprise party for Anthony's 40th! Mr. Willie and Mrs. Betty came. Andrea and the kids came. My parents couldn't bc of work and scheduling issues, My brother and his family bc, well, they have two 4 month olds and have to work Friday's and Monday's and Chris couldn't, well bc he's a pastor and ALOTof things were happening that he needed to be at church for so..we missed all that couldn't be here but are so glad the ones that could came!

We are so glad that all our friends could make it today! We were especially glad that my friend, Mary and her two China beauties were able to come!! First time for me meeting her girls and first time for her meeting Zoey! Desi just came home in Dec!! She's become a precious friend and I'm so glad that we "found eachother" (thanks Lori!) We have such sweet friends and family and some that couldn't make it! It made us sad but we understand and just hope to see them all very soon!!!

Food (well the sweets) at Zoey's party!

These are the cakes and such I made (hannah helped me with the rice krispy treats) She barely ate any of her cake (this first one) but oh well! I made it for her bc she didn't have a smash cake at her 1st party, and I thought she would get messy but..she used a fork! HAHA Zackery tried to put her hand it in but it just got her fingers and she licked it off of her fingers and proceeded to eat with her fork! SO funny! It's not the best, but it was great for her!! :)

Zoey's 2nd birthday party..part one! The rest are below! :)

She loved all her friends and family being here and she LOVED ALL her presents!! She squealed at all of them and just had a great time! Thank you to all that could be here and those that couldn't, we missed you! We are so glad that Zoey was here for this birthday! We love her so much and had a great time today!
