Kindergarten!!!

Today was the first day of kindergarten for Zachary. He did wonderful. His teacher emailed me and told me that he did really well. Here are some pictures from the big day...









He made this hat at school, it says "I was a star on my first day of kindergarten"

Like father like son....

Zach got a really cool big boy skateboard for his birthday. He bugs us constantly to ride it. He doesn't quite have the stability to do much on it but it doesn't stop him from trying and giving me a heart attack. Doesn't he look so grown up?!? He had fun trying and did best when he sat on his bottom and rolled around on it.



Ta Da!

Say What?!?

A few pictures from our weekend....

Zach got his backpack and wagon packed up, his shoes and hat on, and was ready to go. I can't remember where he said he was going, but apparently you don't need pants there!


Hannah layed her babies down for a nap, covered them with a blankie, and read them a book.


Hannah got a tea party set for her birthday last year and we finally pulled it out for them to play with. She is so into pretending lately I knew they would have a blast with it. They spent SO much time playing with it.

4th of July!!

We had a nice low key 4th of July this year. We went and spent some time playing at the beach. Watched some of the fireworks til the kids got too tired. And overall had a fun day with beautiful weather. The last couple years we were pretty fogged in, so it was a nice change.

Here are some pics of the kids. Hope you all had a great 4th!!



Chris was making the kids laugh so I could get them smiling and I just love the excitement all over this one


Hannah's not too big on the ocean these days, but she loves getting sandy


Zach on the other hand LOVES the ocean




Waiting for fireworks to start

Party Time!

We celebrated Zach's birthday with a party at the local park with friends and family. The kids had fun playing, eating cake, and being together.

Posing with his skateboarder cake that he picked out


Loving the attention while everyone sings to him


Cake aftermath (I don't know who handed out the cake, but somehow both my kids ended up with pieces with the black frosting!!!)




Getting ready to open presents


Bowing as he was saying "Thank you" to his guests

As heard....

Driving home from Target yesterday

Chris: Thanks for being such a good boy at the store Zach

Zach: My pleasure Dad
