Happy 1st Birthday

Happy Birthday Zackary!!! We had a little birthday party, a trial run for Sunday. We had to do the cake and present thing on the actual day. Liz, Cody, & Ryan joined in for the celebration. He was a bit reserved at first then decided to dig in. He got sprayed off in the tub after. He could care less about opening presents. I guess that is what 1 year olds do. We look forward to seeing everyone at the party on Sunday. Check out the paw in the cake at the end.

Olive Penguins

Yes, we spent an entire evening building olive penguins for a Christmas Party for Cody. We were pretty proud of our creations, notice mine with a top hat. Aaron's didn't make the cut, he fell apart in transit. Sorry for the useless info on the blog. hehe

Proud Grandparents

On Dec 9 we went to the see the Luminaries at Desert Botanical Gardens. Zackary had a blast and was the ladies man. He had the entire crowd dancing to swing music. The DBG had many different bands and musicians performing. Look at the proud grandparents, so cute.

Smiley Cake Dec 8th

This was my birthday cake, Liz is a professional cake maker. She won't admit to it, but just look at the cake. All I asked for was a smiley face. She rocks! I had a great birthday; Pizza, Wine, Cake, Friends & Family, what more can you ask for.

No more bottles

On December 7th we were officially done with the bottle, it is sippy cup all the way. This bottom picture is pretty funny.

Walking Dec 2, 2007

Zackary officially started walking on the 2nd of December. He began trying in October and is now walking across the room. Here is a short video on the first day of walking, sorry for the awful filming.

Christmas

We went out for J2's Christmas party, the party was at Radda, we love that place. This picture is in our living room, yes we are all ready for Christmas besides the gift thing. We sold out this year and got a fake tree, we really are enjoying it, (pre-lit and clean). All of our ornament's are very meaningful, we get a new one each year depending on what is going on in our lives and collect them on all of our vacations. We both have or childhood homemade ornaments. They are pretty cute. Just look at little Otis posing for the camera in front of the tree.

Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We sure did, Zackary loved eating all the great food. We got together at my parents house, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable day. It was great to see my grandparents and see them play with Zackary.

Family Pictures

I can't believe how big Zackary is getting.
He is close to turning a year. Where does the time go?
He is turning into a little boy, he isn't looking like a baby anymore.
He is standing and taking some steps, any day now he will be all over.
We took family pictures on November 17,
I love our photographer, she is amazing.
She seems to capture so many special moments with our family.
If anyone would like her contact information her name is

Evening Out

Aaron and I went out for Eileen's (Aaron's Mom)Birthday on Saturday, it was at our favorite...Radda. It was quite the surprise for her, we filled the entire restaurant. We had such a great time seeing everyone. Zackary was a party animal that night, he too had a great time.

Outside

We were playing in the backyard. Zackary loves to be outside, no one is allowed outside with out him. He doesn't mind crawling in the rocks. Look at him lounging... and yes he is a thumb sucker... but it is really cute.

Is this not the cutest hat, it still fits from last year. Too bad it isn't cold outside at all. He really didn't mind wearing it. Hopefully it will cool down soon.

Tumbleweed Park

We went to Tumbleweed park in Chandler over the weekend, Zackary loves swinging so much, after a while in the swing the thumb went in the mouth and he began to fall asleep. Oh and by the way, we are in for it, as you can see, Zackary is beginning to climb everything, (my mom says it is just paybacks).

So Cute

Can I just say Seriously, how cute is this picture.

Halloween 2007

Is Halloween about torturing children? It's pretty fun. Zackary was a lobster and a pirate. The lobster didn't last too long, it was a bit warm, considering it was 90. We had a great time, we went and saw grams and gramps at the hardware store, visited Mary and came home to pass out candy to the trick-o-treaters. We didn't have very many, I think parents are paranoid to take their kids to randoms to get candy, what ever happened to the good old days were kids were safe?

Blogs?

This is my wonderful family, not that you all don't know, I thought the picture was cute. I am just learning this blog thing, I will try to post things that are going on in our lives. Can I just say this baby thing is awesome, I never would have thought is was this great. I hope everyone appreciates parenthood as much as we do. Zackary is the best thing that has happened to us. He is so happy and cute of course. We just can't get enough. Every day just gets better. This is a bit mushy...
