Christmas Eve-Snow!!!!

On Christmas Eve Zach and I went to a church service at Atascocita High School, just down the road with Shannon, Cayden and her family (Daddy met up with us later). At first Z was really in to it as there was a lot of singing, guitar playing and dancing! He was clapping his hands and dancing around, it was like a Christian Wiggles concert for him! But then when the sermon started, he began getting antsy, so we had to go outside so as not to disturb the service. Luckily they had made "snow" outside, so we went to play in it. Really it was just shaved ice from a machine, like a big snow cone. He seemed to enjoy playing in it at first, then he slipped and felt how cold it was! Zach would never make it up north! (neither would I!)

And here is my Angel all tuckered out!


After he was snug as a bug in a rug, Steve and I got everything ready for Christmas! Stay tuned for the next post, it will be all about Santa and Zach's Christmas!

Breakfast with Santa

The Saturday before Christmas, Zachary's daycare hosted a breakfast with Santa and Steve and I took Zach. We figured this would be better than trying to drag a feisty 15 month old to the mall to stand in line!

His new thing is he now likes to walk up to the school, no more carrying my big boy (without a fight that is, LOL). Here he is heading in to meet Santa!


When we got to the room they were having the breakfast in, we saw that we were the first ones there, even before Santa! Zach colored me a picture, while trying to eat all the crayons, then ate (real food) like a champ!


Finally Santa arrived. He was a little strange, but his big booming voice had Z mesmerized! He was watching his every move. But when it came time to sit with Santa, mommy had to sit too, as he was a little scared of him.




Zach saying hi to one of his teachers, Mrs. Nayeli. He really likes her.


And here is my favorite pic from that day!

The beginning of many December/Christmas posts...

It's been awhile since my last post, so this one will be pretty long! Or I may just break it up in to a few posts...

Hopefully most of you got the Christmas cards we sent out (and if not the USPS should get them there soon!). Here is the picture we used on the cards...


We had a busy two weeks, first it was our 7 year wedding anniversary. We went to Mexico for a few days to celebrate, and Grandma (my mom) watched him. When we got back, he was so excited to see us! I have never had him give me so many hugs and kisses before! I loved it! And when we got home from the airport, he kept hugging all his stuffed animals too. Here is a picture of him sitting on his little couch with all of his "friends"


The next day I took Z to the park. He loved the swing, he giggled for about 15 minutes straight. Here is a look of pure joy that only a child can show


Also, wanted to tell everyone that after each post is a comment section, just click where it says "comments" and you can post a message. Not really sure if anyone else is reading this besides Steve or my mom, so wouldn't mind hearing from you guys!

Cayden's 5th Birthday

This past weekend we went to one of my BFF's son's birthday party at Pump it Up. It is a play zone for kids with a bunch of blow up jump/slide machines. At first Zach was very scared about the whole place. There was a bunch of people, tons of kids all running around so he just wanted to cling on to mommy the whole time. That was until I took him down the big slide!

At first he looked awfully scared...But by the time we made it to the bottom, he was thrilled!


And wanted to go back up!


Afterwards all the kids ate pizza, and Z ate his like a big boy! I didn't even have to cut it up into little bites! Sorry the pic is so dark


And here is the birthday boy sitting on his "throne"


By the time we left he was pooped, he passed out in the car ride home, holding his balloon of course!

Bubbles Bubbles!

We gave Zach his first bubble bath last week. At first he wasn't so sure about the bubbles, when he would get some on his hands, he would try to take them off, almost one by one. But by the end of the bath, he was loving them! Now he wants bubbles every time! Here are some picture with him playing.
