Zoo

Liz, Ryan, Zackary, and I had a great trip to the zoo on Friday. The weather was beautiful all the animals were out, and there was hardly anyone there. Zackary was having a great time, up close and personal (well not really) with the rhinos. We have a zoo membership that we just renewed, (thanks Laura and Glen). What a great deal, only $70, tax deductible, and you can go all you want. I highly recommend it.

Ice Cream

So cute, Zackary was sitting on our island eating a little snack of chicken and ice cream, he made a huge mess and ended up in the bath. He has just cut 4 new teeth and loved the ice cream on the gums.

This was our fun trip to Zoo Lights on December 19, look it is actually cold in AZ, we had a great time with friends and family. Zackary is fascinated by the Zebra that is right behind us (the only one not looking at the camera).

Infinite Aesthetics Christmas Party

This is our little family at Infinite Aesthetics & Wellness.
We celebrated our first Christmas Party at Radda
(yes we went again this month, but what can I say we love it).
This is our little crew that we love. Mary and I are very proud of what
we have accomplished in the last couple of years. From the left is Ruth Ann our massage therapist, me, Mary, Beth, and Dawn our aestheticians. Everyone needs to come and visit us, and I would like to thank everyone for all of your support over the last couple of years.

Zackary's First Birthday Party

Sorry I have been behind on updating the pictures. We all know how is gets so busy around this time of year, I know it is all excuses. These are pictures of Zackary's First Birthday party on Dec 16, 2007, I would like to thank everyone for coming and helping us celebrate such a fun time. We had a Spiderman theme as you can see. Liz and I made the cake and the cupcakes. Zackary got to dig into the cake by himself and everyone else got to eat the cupcakes, not drooled on by the birthday boy! We had such a great time. He even cut a tooth during the party, seriously.

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.
