More Zoe

As soon as I got home from the Academy Awards gifting suite (as in I had to hustle to get there on time) we had Zoe's blessing.  We also had a gathering afterwards at Kris and Sterling's house.  Here's a picture of Zoe with her two Grandmas.

And here's some more recent pics of our little Zoe.  She looks just like her mama!

She's really starting to smile and show her personality.  I think Atti likes her okay, except he wishes that she was a "boy sister."

Girls Day Out

Recently Mickel and Teague had a boys day out with Grandpa Dennis (Monster Trucks), so Steph and Kaiya had a girls day out and invited me.  We debated many different options and finally settled on bowling.
I'm not now or ever have been a strong bowler.  I usually start off pretty strong, but end up over-analyzing it.  So Kaiya and I stayed pretty even.  Steph pulled ahead of us for the win.

 Then we spent a little time in the arcade area.

Academy Awards Gifting Suite

Vessel had a fun opportunity to take part in a gifting suite held the day before the Academy Awards.  We met a ton of celebrities, some of whom I knew and others I didn't.  Here are some of my favorites.

 Comedian Bill Engvall ... pretty funny in person too!

 Caitlin Carmichael - she was so positive and polite and just the most petite girl you ever saw!

 Carolyn Hennesy - I just love her character on "Cougar Town" - she's the only true cougar on it!

 Dee Wallace, better known to many as the mom on "ET"

ie

 Edie McClurg, best known right now for her voice work on "Frozen" but she's done a ton of other stuff.

 Back in the day (the Luke and Laura days to be precise) I was a huge fan of "General Hospital."  If you wer too you might recognize Bobbie - Jackie Zeman

 I confess I still haven't seen "Dallas Buyers Club" but James Dumont (here with his cute daughter) was just really a nice guy.

 I guess you have to be a certain age to remember the Laugh In days, but I am and I do, and I always absolutely loved Joanne Worley.  She's still as bubbly as ever!

 Another actor I haven't necessarily followed, but liked very much in person - Mark Ryan.

 A true Hollywood legend, Mickey Rooney.

 She didn't have her hubby with her, but Rachel Reilly has been on two seasons of one my favorite shows, the Amazing Race, including the current season.  She seemed pretty bratty on the show, but she's actually VERY nice!  

Todd Sherry appears on another favorite, "Suburgatory."

Our booth was very popular, especially with the young women (and a few young men) who functioned as the celebrities "handlers" (in other words, they carried all their bags of goodies, and kept us informed of who "their" celebrity was - in case we didn't know.  Which sometimes we didn't, so thank goodness for that!).
