Shoe Fettish!

Zack is a shoe stealer. If you are missing your shoes and Zack is around, he probably has them. He really loves high heels. I don't know why. Here he is in Stephanie's shoes. It was hilarious.

First day of school

Andrew started 1st grade this year. He loves it! I am hoping that the reason his homework is stuff we did in Kindergarten is just because they are doing a review. Otherwise he is going to be so bored!

This is what I want my house to look like...

Cake time!

He did not like getting sung to at all! He was covering his face and starting to cry. It was funny because this kid always wants attention, and then when he gets it he doesn't like it.

He's 2! He's 2!

Zachary is 2 now. He has grown so much lately, that I can't really call him Baby Zack anymore! I still do, but I really should stop. His favorite things are mommy, balls, trains, Bolt we watch this a LOT!, jumping off of everything, riding scooters and playing with his brothers. He is a crack up and does stuff just to get attention. He is by far my most stubborn child. He has a will of iron. But we love him sooo much!

TEN years!

On August 7th Jeff and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. I can't even believe it has been that long. Part of me feels like we have always been married, and then the other part of me feels like it happened just yesterday. Once you have kids, time goes crazy fast!

Nothing like a poke in the eye!

See this cheerio? Zack has a handy knack of sticking anything and everything in all cracks, holes and eyeballs on his body. I have taken a couple erasers and popcorn kernals out of his nose and ears and now I had to take a full on cheerio out of his eye! It was the creepiest thing I have ever seen! He just randomly started screaming bloody murder right next to me and I look over and all you see is cheerio, no color in his eye at all just cheerio. Andrew had to hold his arms while I dug it out. It was very sad. Poor Zack! (July 2009)

Family night

We have not been really good in the past about having FHE. I can't believe I am actually admitting it! However we are trying (& succeeding) in changing that. This was the first night we planned the whole thing and Andrew was in charge of the dessert. He was so excited! We made the cake in my pampered chef rice cooker in 9 minutes! It is not the prettiest cake by any means. In fact it looks like we majorly messed up on it! But it is the best tasting cake ever! Yummy! (July 2009)

My baby is braver than me!

This summer we spent a lot of time at the beach with my family. My nephews showed Andrew how to boogie board and he was starting to get really good at it! He had so much fun out there in the ocean. I do not like the ocean at all. well going in it at least. But I am glad that the fear has not been passed down to my boys. Although a little fear wouldn't hurt them every once in awhile! But that is how boys are I have learned.

Stinker!

Zack is my mischievous little child! You have to watch him constantly. When he gives you that cute little cheesy grin, watch out!
The poor guy sitting in the chair at the beach kept having his nice volleyball stolen by Zack. If there is a ball in sight, Zack must have it or he is throwing a tantrum. Luckily this guy let him play with it. We may have had to cut the day short otherwise. It is seriously that bad! Zack is also a very sweet kid! There are two sides to him. (July 2009)

Sweet dreams

I put Ethan to bed in my bed one afternoon, and I came in to check on him and this is what I found. It was so cute! I think he was trying to block out the light. (July 2009)

Catch up- again! Starting with Jake

The weekend of 4th of July we thought it would be great to get the kids a pet that we had promised them. So we adopted Jake. He is one of the sweetest cats ever! However my children are not, and poor sweet Jake had to go back to Petsmart. I was so sad! He was very loving and huge! His paws were massive, I have never had a cat that big before. I hope whoever has him now, is loving him so much!
