during the cake eating. This is one of the few pictures of me and zoe together.

Here's Zoe on her Birthday! I just can't believe she's one. We had pancakes for breakfast, she had lots of playtime at daycare and then we got Chipotle for dinner and headed to the park. Zoe was so tired she fell asleep on the way home. Tonight we had a small party for Zoe at Grandma & Grandpa's house. I'll get those pictures up soon. Thanks everyone for celebrating with us and all her presents! I just can't believe it's been a year. This week she's started walking so much more. She finally picked walking over crawling. She's a toddler now! Well it's been a busy week with birthday's and anniversaries and a little sickness thrown in. In just 2 weeks we'll be back to celebrating again! XOXO, Holly & Co.

Today marks our 2 year anniversary! Two years ago today, we were married for time and all eternity in front of our friends and family. What a fun day that was. Ryan and I still comment on how great our wedding and reception turned out. Not to mention the fact that we are so happy we married each other! Although Ryan doesn't actually read our blog, I like to post about him anyway. This is a really terrible photo taken with my phone during church on Sunday. But this totally describes Ryan and the role he plays in our lives (mine and Zoe's)

I won't turn this into a long sappy post (I'll save that for my Happy Birthday/Father's day blog post) but I am so glad I picked Ryan and he picked me to spend forever with. I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you Ryan!

XOXO,

Holly

PS. Stay tuned for Zoe's birthday blog...coming soon.

Well this week has been much more uneventful then the past few weeks. Zoe had some fun with marker at day care and slightly resembles a smurf. Although the marker was washable, it's still there a few days later. Zoe learned to drink from a straw this week. We've tried to teach her in the past with no luck, but this week when Ryan and I got Jamba Juice she learned REALLY quickly. Also this week, Zoe's birthday present came a few days early. We bought her a big toy box for all her toys, as they were starting to take over the living room. Here's how excited she was when we took it out of the box. This week we will be celebrating a lot! We have our 2 year anniversary on Tuesday and Zoe's first birthday on Thursday. Lots of balloons and cake at the Humbert house this week! XOXO, Holly & Co.

Well without rehashing every detail of our weekend, it basically went like this. Friday: Z & inlaws went to the coast. Ry & I enjoyed a quiet night at home. Saturday: arrived at coast house, only to dsicover Z had and ear infection. Came home. Went to ER, sat in ER for 3 hours. got back home around 1am. It was a long day. And Zoe has another new tooth. count: 12 teeth and 1 ear infection. So we spent the rest of the weekend nursing Zoe back to health and laying low. Not much planned for this week. I've been scrapbooking alot and hopefully I'll get our scanner to work so I can scan those pages to show. Zoe turns 1 in just 9 days. Hopefully we'll have something more pleasant to blog about this week XOXO, Holly & Co.

Well we are back home, safe and sound. I didn't take as many pictures as I should have but here's a few. Zoe waiting in the airport

Holly & Co.

This is Bunny-Bunny. Zoe's bff. She got B-B for Easter and had loved him ever since. He goes to bed with her every night and gets lots of cuddles during the day. He's been a great comfort to Zoe since she's been sick/teething this week. She seems to be on the tail end of this ailment and I managed to get some cute pictures of her before bathtime this morning. Ryan is working today so Z and I are cleaning, cuddling and hanging out. Happy Mother's Day to all tomorrow! XOXO, Holly & CO.

Zoe is down and out with a fever. I think it's related to teething, since she got yet another tooth and has a few more swollen bumps. (Yes the total is 8 now) So we have been hibernating the past couple days, snuggling, sleeping and drinking lots of fluids. Since I don't have any other noteworthy news, I'll post a couple pictures of some recent scrapbook pages. Enjoy and we'll be back this weekend, hopefully feeling much better! XOXO, Holly & Co.

Zoe said "Ma-Ma!" She's been saying "Da-Da" for what seems like forever. I'd get a ma here and a ma there, but not she says it regularily, and that makes me happy. She also says some D word for dog. It's a mixture between dad and dog. And this morning, I swear she said "hi dad." I know this may not be that exciting, but that's what's going on at our house. My new camera came. and Ryan fixed my old one, all in the same day. But my new one takes sharp pictures. I would have new Zoe pictures for you, but she wasn't exactly pleasent last night. Ryan has finals this week and Zoe and I will be traveling to Oklahoma next week to see my family and attend a friend's wedding. So the rest of the week will be spent, studying and planning and hopefully packing. I'll try to sneak some new photos in soon! XOXO, Holly & Co.

Zoe has a new tooth. Her teeth come in so fast, we don't even know they are there until they are half way in. This morning, no tooth. When I picked her up from day care, new tooth. That makes a total of 7 teeth. I added some pictures from Tay's 2nd birthday party, taken by my sweet sil, Jen.

Been playing around with some photo actions. Our ward campout was cancelled due to weather. So we decided to stay in with Pizza and jammies. (much better choice in my opinion) Zoe is getting so big! She'll be one in just a few weeks. Tomorrow we'll be celebrating our niece, Taylor's, 2nd birthday. Time flies so fast. Last night my BFF, Heather and I had a craft night over the internet. Gotta love Skype. I love technology. I miss you Heather! I made Zoe 5 hairbows....you should being seeing more of those soon. Have a great weekend! XOXO, Holly & Co.

So lately, life has been more than busy, and now, I'm sick. But it's been so long since I updated. In short, here's our new happenings. -Zoe took 4 steps. She isn't that interested in walking just yet, but she takes steps every now and then. -Zoe had her 10 month appt. She weighs 20 lbs. 12.5 ozs. putting here in the 70th %. -Zoe is eating lots of solid foods. She loves bread. -Ryan is nearing the end of his semester and is doing great (A's across the board) -I am busy planning ward activities and scrapbooking when I get a chance. Here's some recent pictures to tide you all over. XOXO, Holly & Co.

this morning while we were getting ready this morning... No...it wasn't Campbell's fault... Zoe discovered the toilet paper! And this is my new favorite picture of Zoe. This was taken after the toilet paper mishap, but I love it! And next, we have Zoe and her blueberry waffles.We're going to dye Easter eggs tonight with the Stauffers. Should be fun to see Zoe react. She made her first finger painting this week at daycare. She did really well. Wishing you all a Happy Easter! XOXO, Holly & Co.

Zoe's new favorite food:Normally, she eats dinner in her exersaucer, but I finally broke down and got a booster/high chair and she LOVES it. After dinner tonight, she spent another 30 minutes just sitting in her chair, playing with it. Here she is enjoying her cheerios, tonight. Ryan and I could swear that we heard her say, "No no," when I tried to pick her up out of her chair. And then she said," Da da," tonight in the tub. She's been starting to dance more often. She bobs up and down and shakes her head from side to side. I tried to get her to do it on video, but of course she stopped. I've been in a major creative way recently, so I'm been scrapping as much as I can. I'll try to post some of those soon. XOXO, Holly & Co.

Well this obviously isn't Zoe standing up, but it's the crazy hair she woke up with the other morning! After dinner tonight, Zoe was playing with us and she stood up for like 10+ seconds! She's such a fast crawler that she doesn't have a really strong desire to walk/stand. But tonight we got her to stand multiple times. Hopefully she'll start trying to walk by herself soon. This week Zoe started new daycare. Jamie is pregnant and so we found some new care for her but we sure do miss Jamie and E. Thanks Jamie! So far she loves Ms. Liz and comes home tired every day! She falls asleep before we get home. Yesterday for FHE, Ryan, Zoe & I headed up to the best scrapbook store in California, Green Tangerines and had fun replenishing my stash. We also stopped by Fry's for Ryan and Sonic to get drinks. This weekend, my bff from Colorado is coming to visit. I haven't seen him since my wedding so we're anxious for him to meet Zoe and catch up. I'm excited for Easter to come. I got some goodies for Zoe's Easter basket. I don't think we're going to do an egg hunt, but the Easter Bunny will come fill her basket. I'll leave you with this picture I snapped of Zoe last week playing with her books in her room. XOXO, Holly & Co.

I was sent a link to the Restaurant Report Card and just had to read it. You better believe I was suprised at a lot of the grades and information. I'm sure as you all know, I'm still working some baby weight off, so I've been paying more attention to what I put in my mouth especially at restaurants. I was amazed when I started looking at menus at how quickly the calories add up, especially in a place like Chipotle. Even if I got a salad, if I added the dressing, it would make it more calories than if I had a burrito and chips! They say knowledge is power, however, sometimes I look at the nutrition info, and I think to myself, "I dont really care how many calories, fat grams, etc...I want it anyway." That's almost worse than not knowing at all... Ok now to baby news. Zoe is becoming more vocal saying "ba ba" and "da da" a lot. She can clap and will play pat-a-cake with you. When you start singing the song she will mimic you. She still can't "roll it" yet but she can" toss it in oven" She has started mock waving. instead of waving she holds her hand out nad flips it palm up. Kinda weird, but whatever. She is also more devious than we orginally thought. I tried to get this on video, but I couldn't and I just had to post about it. Zoe is an enabler. Lately, she and Campbell have become really good friends. Zoe now knows how to open cabinets. We keep Campbell's treats in a lower cabinet that Zoe can now open. Well Campbell wanted a treat and stood by that cabinet. Zoe promptly crawled over to her, stood up, opened the cabinet doors, and knocked the can of treats on the floor for Campbell dog. Campbell grabbed the can and ran away. I'm sure we should have stopped her or told her no, but it was so funny. Ryan and I just watched in shock. Come a few more months and we're going to have a dangerous team on our hands. XOXO, Holly & Co.

So sorry for my lack of blogging. Last week was crazy busy, Ryan and I both had meetings all week long. And now...Zoe and I are down for the count (hence the title :) In Zoe news, She's getting a couple more teeth. She is almost standing. by almost, I mean she can stand for a second or two then drops. She is eating more people food. Last week she had rice, cereal bars, soft pretzel, baby crunchy chips. She knows how to drink out of a glass, however, she gets so excited she usually tips the glass too much and spills. She is saying ba ba and da da a lot! She doesn't hesitate to take her toys back from Campbell. I will try to update more regularly, these past few weeks have just been so busy. XOXO, Holly & Co.

Of my assistant (AKA Ry) I was able to snap this photo of Zoe's ever multiplying teeth! So there are 6 in this picture, and her top 2 molars are starting to come down.

Nothing too exciting going on here. Posting some pictures of Zoe from January when we went to the park. Hopefully next week will be more exciting and I'll have more to post about. XOXO, Holly & CO.
