Family Time Outdoors in the Fresh Fall Air

This past weekend the air turned colder and it began to feel like Tennessee but in my Texas Tree House. The family decided to go to the Pumpkin Patch and take Zoe for her first pumpkin hunt.

Grandpa loaded up the most precious Pumpkin our Zoe Bug and off we went. She did really well riding in the wagon for her 1st time but it was not long before she just had to get out and pick out her very own pumpkin.

Soon we were joined by some of Aunt Te Te (Kassy's) friend Nixon and his son Sebastian. Sebastian was more interested in the horses and rides than the pumpkins but hey that is 100% boy and such a cutie!

 We all had to take our pictures by the big green tractor (yeah Kenny!).

Zoe Loves her Aunt Te Te and so happy she planned this trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

So from My Family to YOURS We wish each of you a very Happy, Warm and Fun Filled Fall Ya'll!

Back to Business tomorrow but today was family day!
Til tomorrow~

Dipping the Toes in the Pool with Zoe Bug

Sunday proved to be another fun family day at the Tree House. We took Zoe Bug for her first swim. She put on her tutu,smile and sunscreen and *people hopped* all over our pool.

She started her time with grandpa then she helped Nanna do her water walking...that little added arm weight of her in my arms I'm sure helps, LOL.

Zoe even got her daddy into the water out here in Carrollton, even though he was on call for his job. He likes to swim too!

Her Momma was the best! She wrapped up her Zoe Bug nice and warm and fed her snacks when she was all finished swimming for the day.

Of course as soon as Zoe made it back to the Tree House she KNOCKED OUT......

Now we know just what her Momma needs to do when Zoe Bug doesn't want to take her nap, GO SWIMMING!

Zoe's 1st Trip to the Zoo

Sorry it's been a while but this grandma has been spending time getting healthy, sewing and well being a Nanna! Wanted to share some pictures of Zoe's first trip to the Dallas Zoo last Sunday with ya. It was a blast for all involved and also a *scouting* trip for me because I am working on a new line of patterns that you can make for children or you can prim them up for collectibles. The best of all worlds!

Zoe Bug, her momma Keelee, Grandpa Marty, Aunt  Megan, Uncle Charlie and I (Nanna) spent 5 wonderful hours walking the Zoo and visiting with most of the animals, birds, snakes and critters.  YES! you read that correctly I WALKED FOR FIVE, count them FIVE HOURS! Bless the juice! Here are some of the critters we saw in the Dallas Zoo with our little critter Zoe Bug. The turtle will be an example for a Zurtle (Zoe's Turtle). The gator is an actual albino gator from Louisiana on a loan to the Zoo. Really cool right??

We arrived at the Zoo just in time to see the Birds of Flight show and let me tell ya they really had birds flying everywhere. This is the first time I have ever see or even heard of a BLACK COCKATOO. He or she is BEAUTIFUL! We saw many exotic and domestic birds and Zoe loved watching them as much as we did!

Aunt Megan could not leave the Zoo without riding a Camel so ride one she DID! Tiffany was the name of this beautiful gal. Aunt Megan (my niece) gave his long eye-lashed gal a big hug while riding her and said she does not smell at all!

Going to the Zoo with Zoe Bug and the family is a great way to relax and walk off those extra pounds. If you have a free weekend take some time and visit your local Zoo. The critters are waiting for you... say hi to the animals too. LOL.

Til next time...which won't be so long I PROMISE!

Shweet Sandi & Zoe Bug LOVE!
