Victoria's New Home

JZ came home one last time before he moves to Dallas and into his new home! Victoria calls it the "house" and for a girl who's lived in three states in her little life another house is no big deal.



We went to the Dallas Zoo on a gorgeous November day. Victoria loved feeding the goats and giraffe.










Cecie was cleaning and found William's golf cart. Victoria loves the "par" and eventhough the battery charger is missing, she loves to just sit in the car.

Lauren Reardon came in town and it was great to see the twins!! They have grown up so fast I hardly recognized them!

These are the funniest pictures of Taylor and Victoria: Taylor wanted Victoria's music player but Victoria is not very good at sharing and somewhere picked up the word "mine". Taylor was very sad she couldn't have it and even the substitute music player wasn't good enough - such a sad face.

Halloween Happy

For a little girl who just moved to town, Victoria went to quite a few Halloween parties and loved every minute of it! She now understands the word "party" but thinks all parties require a costume. Victoria loved the LCC party as she danced to her favorite song (Enrique Inglesias' "I Like It"), she wouldn't get out of the bounce house at the MOMS Club party and was excited to knock on the doors at the Theta house to get a "treat". The funniest was seeing her try and give the candy back to the giver once they gave her a piece of candy - that behavior stopped after she got a taste of her first Hershey's bar. And Halloween on Lakewood is always crazy! So before JZ had a to jet off to Alabama, he saw her trick or treat at a few houses. JZ's costume was Animal Control in the Feline Dept. She was shy but got the point. Next year there will be no stopping her.

Nana, Mama Cat, Victoria Kitty, and Cecie the Fairy Grandmother.

Getting some loot.

Yes, I'm video taping her while JZ taked still pictures. Talk about crazy parents!

Victoria having a great time at the LCC party and showing off for the camera or as she likes to call it the "cheese".

Victoria wore a sweet kitty cat costume and was a champ at holding still while mama applied the nose and whiskers - makeup will not be a problem.


Dancing to "I Like It" she fell donw to her back and did her favorite pose with legs in the air. Then she crawled around the room like a real animal!


She visited her first "haunted house". No problem there, but it was a little dark for her.




Cecie was the Fairy Grandmother and Victoria loved her wand. Cecie went with us to the The Little Gym's Halloween party where Victoria just ran around. She had no interest in the games and candy - she was just happy to run around.


The Little Gym



When Dad came home for Halloween weekend they carved her first pumpkin.


She had lots of fun decorating the pumpkin with glitter, painting it, coloring it with markers, she was a little frustersted we couldn't get the jewels to stick, so we will work on that for next year.


Cleaning out the pumpkin's yucky guts.




Victoria had lots of fun at the Theta House for Trick or Treat. She was appropriately dressed as a KAT.


Future Theta?


The Davis' came to town in October and we visited the Arboretum. Here is Victoria and Kate in the pumpkin patch.


Baby Z 2

It's official, Baby Z 2 is scheduled to make an appearance the first week in April 2011. Here is an unltrasound picture from Sept. All symptoms are a bit exaggerated compared to Baby Z 1 but everything looks good.
