Zoe's Birthday Date With Aunt Shell

 Zoe's birthday isn't until June 4th, but Michelle is going to be out of town next weekend so she took Zoe out today.  She bought her this cute, new dress for her to wear on their date!

 Zoe loves hanging out with Aunt Shell and doing fun, girl things with her.  That's what she has wanted from her for Christmas and birthdays for years.

 Today they got manicures and pedicures and ate lunch together, just the two of them.  I can only imagine their conversations.  They both tell really long, detailed stories.  Their moods are very similar too and they are bothered by the same stuff.  They even kind of look alike.  They are pretty funny together! Zoe adores her.

I remember when I very first met Michelle.  Bud brought her to meet the family. They lived in Columbia at the time.  They picked Zoe and I up at our house in Joplin so we could ride to Seneca together.  Zoe was 2 years old.  She had a little purse with her and Michelle asked what was in her purse.  Then Zoe pulled out a passie and an extra pair of panties.  Michelle didn't seem bothered or shocked, in fact I think that might have been when she fell in love with Zoe!

After getting their nails done and lunch they picked up Hayden and Bomber for horseback riding lessons.  Then went to Cherry Berry after the lesson.  After all that they took Cookie, the Hodge's dog, to her obedience classes.  Zoe went with Michelle and loved it.  She talked about all the dogs.

Her toes and fingers both look so cute!

 Maybe I should have went along with them!
