So, since I can't get my ad to post on to KSL.com for some reason, I have decided to have another blog to post my stamps that I have for sale. Please visit and let everyone you know who would be interested. The address is:

Zoey Turned 2

My little Zoey turned 2 on Monday the 13th of July. According to her attitude, one would have thought she turned 2 quite a few months ago. I should have guessed what we were in for when she started pulling these faces all the time. :)

These top 2 pictures are when she was around 8 or 9 months old.

This picture with her in the hat was taken at the end of June. What a cutie.
Here are her official stats from the Dr.'s office:
Height: 35.2 inches 84%
Weight: 28.44 pounds 73%
OFC: 19 inches 70%
Zoey is still going to be tall, but I don't believe she will be as tall as her sissy. That's okay-I'm sure we will still struggle to find pants that are long enough for her as well.

All I have to do is look at her and know she is mischief wating to happen. Plus, she is my accident prone child. She has had a broken leg, a mishap with our bed (hence the scar on the bridge of her nose), several fat lips, multiple scrapes and bruised everywhere from falling off things, running into things, and tripping over EVERYTHING. Oh, and did I mention the 3 hours I was in the ER with her when she fell backwards off the couch twice within 15 minutes directly on her head on our wood floor and projectile vomited? Needless to say, she ends up being okay pretty much every time. A few scars and a walking boot for 2 weeks have been the extent of things so far. Let's hope this common occurence ends soon or we may be in trouble.

Zoey loves to play outside, ride her little 3 wheel bike, go for rides in the bike trailer/stroller, watch movies, climb on EVERYTHING, eat EVERYTHING as long as it is on someone elses plate, and torture her sister. She didn't talk for the longest time, and now won't be quiet. She still mumbles things we can't understand, but is also saying phrases like:
"Let it go"
"Come back here"
"Let me out"
"I don't want to"
I'm sure these are phrases you all want your 2 year old to be saying, right???

Happy Birthday Zoey!
Even though you are a handful, you are still the cutest little thing and I love you to pieces.

Hogan Family Reunion

On June 27th, my grandparents hosted the annual Hogan Family Reunion (my grandma's mothers side of the family) at a park near their home in Tooele. I haven't had the opportunity to go to one of these over the past few years. I have either lived too far away, been working, or been way pregnant and uncomfortable to go and sit in the heat. So, of course I got a lot of "now who are you again???"

My Aunts had put together a few crafts for people to do.

My mom and Jessica had brought games to keep the kids entertained.

And of course, you have to have food. Potluck just to make things interesting!

My mom happened to be my saving grace, as she is many days. Without Casey there to help (he had work and was SO sad he had to miss out on the fun), my mom became my extra pair of hands for my rug rats.

Here is my cousin Jessica and her baby Zachary.

My sister in law DeLys helped with some late in the day entertainment and painted faces for the kids.

My Grandma even decided to join in on the fun.
Thanks for hosting a great reunion Grandma and Grandpa!!!
