Zoe Cate loves to read.  This makes me very happy as I have always loved to read and Shea seems to love it, too.  I was a little concerned when Zoe Cate was younger that perhaps she wouldn't like books as much Shea does, and that's fine, but I really wanted her to have a love for reading.  Now, she loves to look at books all day.  I snapped a few shots of her "reading" one of her faves.  One of my sweet friends made me a book filled with pictures from Zoe Cate's first birthday.  She can be found reading it several times a day!

Keep reading, sweet girl! 

Zoe Cate's Treasures

In this edition of "Zoe Cate's Treasures" we find that little girl is prepared to......

JAM!!!!!!!!!

Zoe Cate is ready to jam with her maraca should the time arise!

Dinner Plans

I think Shea is the funniest child I know.  I am SURE I am a lot biased in that opinion but still, he is a funny kid.  He is always saying something to make me laugh.  Well, this afternoon when he woke up from his nap, he topped ALL of his hilarious quips from the past.  I heard him at his door when he woke up from nap so I opened the door and immediately he says to me "Mommy, I just said a prayer.  I prayed you would make a good dinner."  Anyone who knows me just a little bit KNOWS how hysterical this is! I do NOT like to cook....at all.  I, of course, started laughing so hard and he ran over to his toy box, knelt down and said "I prayed right here that you would make a good dinner."

Guess this means we'll be ordering out tonight!!!

Zoe Cate's Treasures

I am always finding the most random things in Zoe Cate's purse.  So, I've decided to start a series called "Zoe Cate's Treasures" to show off the things that are obviously near and dear to her heart. 

In our first edition we find that Zoe Cate is hauling around.....

A BULL!!!!

Because you just *never* know when you might need to whip out a bull.

Jesus Loves Zoe...

Tonight, I was rocking Zoe Cate before bed and we always sing but tonight she says "Momma, sing." So, I started singing the Doxology and she says "NOOOO!".  She says "Mommy, sing [and started humming Jesus Loves Me]" So, I started singing that and she beamed! It was so precious.  I always have to include her babies [Her lovey, her bear "B", the baby doll my dear friend, Melinda, got her and another baby doll] in whatever we are doing so I had to go down the list of who Jesus loved.   Jesus loves her and so do we!  We are thankful every day for this precious, feisty, loving baby girl He has blessed us with!
