Zoey Belle turns 1!!

I can't believe Zoey is 1!! This year has flown past. She brings so much joy and excitement into our family. We love her so much. I have not done well over the last year blogging but hopefully this will recap some of the highlights! :)

Zoey Belle

The last last several weeks have been super busy with a newborn, so I haven't gotten pictures up sooner but we just got back Zoey's newborn pictures (2 weeks) - done by my cousin Jennifer at Pocket Full of Poses Photography - so I had to post some of my favorites!

I love Zoey so much and being a mother is wonderful! I'm just hoping someday I'll get sleep again :)

Zoey's Room

Zoey's room is coming along nicely! We are so excited for her to arrive and it can't come soon enough. We got the most adorable crib bedding set.

It's a little more girly than we originally wanted but oh well! :)

Baby Shower

A couple of weeks ago my sister, Laura, hosted a wonderful baby shower for me!! She did a great job planning and throwing it. My other sister, Staci, and mom helped out lots too and I'm so thankful for all they did to make it such a great time!

We played a few games but we mostly only got pictures of playing the diaper game. Which is where you have to guess what kind of smashed chocolate candy bar is in the diaper!

Laura and Staci

I wish I would have gotten a picture with my mom and sisters but it was busy busy. I am so thankful for all they did. I also was very spoiled by family and friends and Zoey sure got lots of great stuff!!

1st Ward Family Reunion

This year was the first time we did a Ward Family Reunion. We went to Bear Lake and had a blast! It was filled with lots of fun activities and relaxing times.

Rafa's Birthday

Rafa's birthday was last weekend and that also happened to be the weekend of the 1st Ward Family Reunion. Rafa was a sport to spend it with my family doing water activities that day, which is one thing he really does not like. We will eventually get him to enjoy water though, as swimming is one of my favorite activities!

Blowing out his candles, he got them all in one try! :)

Happy birthday Rafa!
