Day at the Park

Today was such a beautiful day I decided to take the kids and Nana to the park. It was actually nice to just get out of the house. Mom and I have had headaches/migraines for the past week and they have been pretty hard on us and the kids (them being kept in the house and all), so it was nice to get out. Allie had so much fun running around, swinging and playing with other kids. Zachary on the other hand didn't have fun. My mom and I could tell he was super tired but he just kept on fighting it. Such a silly boy.

Allie just swinging away. She's big enough that she can hold on without falling off now.

Nana and Zachary sitting on the swing beside sister while she swings.

Going down the slide. She LOVES slides now.

Allie saw an older girl do a flip on this bar so she wanted to do it. I tried to help her but once I got her on the bar she just wanted to hang there like that.

Zachary just playing in the wood chips while sister is off playing.

Mom and I tried having Zach go down the slide by himself - bad idea. So I just have both kids go down with me. Allie and I had fun but Zachary didn't sadly

Zachary did not like the swing at all.

Allie went on this a couple times. Its a pretty big slide, especially to little kids its HUGE

1 Year Pictures

Zachary had his one year pictures taken on Monday. I loved how they turned out! I have been editing some with my special touch over the past couple days and I'm finally done and can post them. I hope the ones that I edited look good (if not I'm sorry).

Happy 1st Birthday Bud!!!

Our little Zachary is *ONE* today!!! I can't believe how fast this past year went by. Zach has his one year appointment on Halloween so I'll update you with his milestones and stats then. But we love Zachary so much and are so glad to have him as a part of our family!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!!!

Z's Party!!!

We had Zachary's party this evening. It was a crazy and stressful day but the party still was fun. Zachary loved having the attention on him but when it came time for him to eat his cake he didn't like it. It was close to his bed time so he was pretty tired. He just ate most of the frosting. And I didn't bother wrapping his presents. I still need to get him a couple more but I gave him what we got him tonight.

Yeah, I made his cake. It turned out okay. The writing would have been better if I wasn't rushed but I still like it.

Is That A Rat???

So daddy decided Allie needed a new pet since her fishies died. Today daddy came home from running errands with a RAT!! I couldn't believe it. Allie loves him though and as long as Todd takes care of it I'm fine with it. And I have to admit its pretty cute. Allie's keeps calling him Noney and Swiper.

Hey Pumpkin!

So I don't really like carving pumpkins. I just don't like pulling out the middle and then having to do all the carving and yeah... So I was just going to draw faces on the kids pumpkins this year but then while I was at Walmart I happened to see a cute Potato Head kit for pumpkins so that's what we did instead. Allie just loved doing it and they turned out so cute! The witch is Allie's pumpkin and the pirate is Zach's.

Arr Ye Matey!!! Pirates Life For Me!!!

A week ago (Sept 26th) I took Zachary to the eye doctor because Todd and I have noticed that his right eye tends to wander off every now and then. I was a little concerned about it plus it creeped Todd and I out, so off to the doctor we went. The doctor said that he does have a lazy eye but in both eyes. At this point he doesn't need glasses so we are going to try the patch to "train" both eyes. What we do is put 1 patch on one eye for an hour a day and then do the same thing but on the other eye and so on and we do this for the next 3 months. Then when we see his doctor on Dec 29th we will see how his eyes are and he'll (the dr) determine if Zach will need glasses or surgery. And as for the patches go Zachary doesn't like them but he's starting to get use to the fact that its part of his daily routine now. He just hates it when we take it off because its like ripping a band aid off. Poor kid.

Waiting for the doctor to come see baby boy

Check out the cool glasses they gave Zach since they dilated his eyes

Allie's Party

Yesterday was Allie's birthday and we decided to have a little get together with a couple of friends. Before we all got together Todd and I took Allie to the movie plex to play in the arcade for a while. She loved the "racing" game because she could pretend drive. Allie was able to Skype with nana and papa and open the present from them - a fun, new camera (which btw mom she LOVES). Then our friends Elbee, Matt, Chris and Amber came over for dinner, cake and to celebrate Allie's birthday. She had a great day and was so happy that they came.

ARCADE FUN

Baby's First Buzz

Today we decided it was time to give lil Zachary a hair cut. I haven't been able to spike his hair for a while and I miss doing it. I didn't want to pay $12.00 or whatever the salons charge so Todd just buzzed him. It turned out pretty good even though Zach moved the whole time.

This picture shows how shaggy his hair was on top. It was pretty long, well longer than Todd and I liked.

Daddy using the clippers, baby boy wasn't a big fan of them.

The hair that will go in Zach's "First hair cut" baggie for his baby book.

The front view. Zach moved around a lot so we couldn't get it as even as we wanted but it still looks nice and I can spike it again without is curling :o)

The back view, I love it!!!
