Blanket Wars

This weekend was a fairly quiet weekend by our standards.  Here are a few pictures for you!

Corn on the cob time!

Watching a video of herself on Papaw's phone. 

We went to lunch then stopped by Tony's to drop off his cupcake carrier. Zuri was fixated on the fact that he had a Hello Kitty blanket by his feet. She insisted it was Breeanna's and not Tony's.  She was ready to tell on Tony. Before we left, I snapped this gem. 

Tonight, we are watching Frozen on the iPad courtesy of the digital download that came with our Blu Ray.

Rock Star!

When we got home today, Zuri had another gift from Aunt Penny waiting on her.  It was a Disney Princess microphone!  We had to test it out, of course!  The guitar is from Aunt Penny as well.  :o)

We did FaceTime with Aunt Penny and Thea to thank them and to show off the gifts!

Dancing Queen

Today, Zuri came by work to see Nurse Jane.  While we were in the waiting room, Zuri decided to dance to the music playing.  Check it out --- super cute!!

Carnival, Pizza, and Birthday Party!

We had a fun-filled weekend!  Saturday, we went to lunch with Aunt Julie, Andy, and Bri. Then we went to Bri's school's carnival.  Zuri and Bri had a blast and I won a couple silent auction items!  Yay!  

We had a backwards dinner Saturday. We had ice cream from Ritter's with Andy, Anne, and Bri. Then we had dinner at Jockamo with Tony, Shannon, Anthony, and Breeanna!

Zuri finally have Shannon a hug last night!!

Today, Papaw John came over and hung out for a bit. Here's a picture of Papaw throwing Z up in the air!

We also had Claire's birthday party today.  Claire got lots of gifts and the kids had lots of fun.

Shopping Spree

Today, the 3 Js (Aunts Julie and Junie as well as Papaw John) took Zuri to Pizza King Station for lunch and to give her gifts for her birthday since the party was a kid party.  :o)  Aunt Julie got Zuri some super cute outfits from Children's Place, a Frozen tiara, and an Olaf toy!  Aunt Junie got Zuri an Elsa Barbie Doll and Anna Barbie doll that play music from Frozen.  Papaw John gave Zuri a gift card to Toys R Us so we went shopping tonight with Papaw.  She isn't spoiled one bit.  I don't have pictures from the lunch (well, a couple that were sent by text), but here are pictures from the shopping spree.  I will update with pictures from Papaw John when he sends me some (hint, hint, Papaw)!!

Birthday Party

Saturday was Zuri's birthday party at her dance studio, Stage 1 Dance Academy.  There were only 2 things I had to do for this party: 1) send the invites out; and 2) show up!  Ms. Katie, who is also Zuri's dance instructor, did everything else!!!  I did end up buying a few party favors, but that wasn't necessary because Ms. Katie also had treat bags!!  We started off with some warm up stretches, then dancing and other activities.  After about 30ish minutes, the kids had snacks and cake.  While Zuri opened gifts, Ms. Katie and her assistant set up for the make-over and fashion show.  The kids sat and watch Sofia the First while Ms. Katie did makeup and painted nails.  The boys even had activities to do during this time.  Once everyone was ready, the kids put on a little fashion show for us.  They were all so cute!  Zuri was very excited for her party and I think all her friends had fun at the party!!  We want to thank everyone, again, for coming to her party.  :o)

Baby Logan

Saturday morning, we watched my co-worker's son, Logan.  Zuri was super excited to help watch him!  She actually said he could just stay here all the time.  When I asked where he would sleep, she said, "My bed!"  So cute.  :o)

The picture on the left is Zuri "napping" like Logan behind her.  :o)  The middle picture was one in a series of selfies we took.  That leaves the one on the right.  Logan's face is priceless!  That was taken shortly after he woke up from his nap and Zuri placed that toy on his head.  He was not a fan!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Sweet Zuri!!

Today is Zuri's 3rd birthday.  I say it every year, but I cannot believe how fast time is flying.  Zuri is growing into such a little lady - a smart little lady.  We started the morning with some phone calls, texts, and even FaceTime with Papaw John!  We also opened 1 gift - the Frozen soundtrack so we listened to it on the way to school (meaning, we listened to "Let it Go" about 5 times). 

I left work early to take cupcakes to school for snack.  Zuri's friends were so excited when I arrived with the cupcakes!  After the cupcakes, we sat on the carpet for a story read by Ms. Genny.  Max wanted to sit right by me and Zuri.  He's so cute! 

When we got home, it was time to open the rest of Zuri's gifts!  She got all Frozen stuff from Mommy and Daddy!  :o)

Grandma & Grandpa Schulz came over and took us to dinner and when we got back home, we watched TV and we took some pictures.  Zuri wanted to take pictures too.  She actually isn't too bad!

This is a picture I took of Zuri taking the picture just after this one!

Here are a couple other pictures I took while Grandma & Grandpa were over.

Aunt Brandii also came by tonight.

Tomorrow is Zuri's birthday party at her dance studio (Stage 1 Dance Academy).  She is very excited!  She is also excited to watch my co-worker's son tomorrow morning.  Logan is 7 months old and is adorable!  Stay tuned for posts about both events!  :o)

I haven't written a note to Zuri in some time, so here we go.

Dear Zuri Lane,

Daddy and I are so very proud to be your parents.  You are such a smart girl.  You never cease to amaze us.  You can almost count to 20.  You know what street you live on.  You know several colors in Spanish.  Your vocabulary is amazing (in our opinion!).  You are also very much a handful!  We wouldn't change a thing though.  One moment, you are being defiant and the next, you are a sweetheart.  Oh, what the teenagers years will be like......  HA!

Some things you enjoy right now:

• Frozen
• Dresses

• Princesses
• Frozen
• Dancing

• Baby Dolls

Oh, and did I mention the movie, Frozen??  ;o)

This past year brought about a lot of new and exciting things.  You switched schools, had your first road trip, your first overnight stay somewhere without us, you started wearing big girl panties 24/7, watched your first movie in the theaters, and so much more!  We cannot wait to see what the next year brings.

We love you more than you will ever know,
Mommy & Daddy
