My (big) baby is turning 8!

Zach turns 8 on the 27th. I can't believe it!

I made Zach's cake this year. I usually buy one, so I don't screw it up:) I think it turned out pretty "fantastic". (That's my Martha Stewart word)

We had his party at the Main Event. They wore Halloween costumes, bowled, had pizza and played games. They had so much fun!

All partied out.

Soccer

Here is a video of Zach making one of his great kicks!

On the field over from us, a man pulled a loaded gun out and pointed it at a man during a little girl's soccer game. Thankfully someone knew what to do and took him down. So scary, you are just not safe anywhere anymore.

A few, just cuz he's cute...

Jo loves to watch his mobile. We have decided they need to make them plug in, so they last much, much longer:) We have a fussy baby!

Aww. Dora usually growls at him. It makes her very nervous when he moves or makes noises.

He has a cute swirl. I love the back of his little head:)

BAD DOG!

Dora loves popcorn, but only out of the bowl. Tony left his bowl to tend to the baby and this is what happened. She makes a huge mess with it!

And she will go to great lengths to get food off of the table. She is after a leftover chicken strip. Lickin' her chops already!

She's a bad girl! It's a good thing she is cute...

7wks old

We tried out the Bumbo on Jo's 7wk birthday. (Actually, we tried it out the day before, but I'm an idiot and deleted all the pictures off my camera by accident-never click the setting that says FORMAT...maybe I'm the last to know) He likes it! He was pretty happy in it for awhile, but after a little bit, enough is enough! Check out those chins! He weighed 11lbs 15.8oz on Monday. He's getting so big (and heavy to lug around in that carseat).

He is smiling a lot more, and I ALMOST got him to laugh.

Josiah loves to look at his fish mobile (thanks Aunt Sugar) above his changing table. He has started talking to them. It's so cute. (also deleted this video, so we had to try again)

Precious Pictures

Josiah got his picture taken this morning. He was awake and happy! I was really nervous about that. He did so good, I was impressed:) They all turned out really cute, it was hard for me to choose. So I chose lots so I could get the free disk (free?? right...) and have them all. These were a few of my faves! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HIM!!

A big boy!

I took Jo to the weight clinic at the hospital on Monday. He weighs 11lbs 3oz! He was 5wks and 5 days. He has gained over 4lbs since we left the hospital! I guess that means he is eating good:)

Steers and Carnies

My sis was in town and we took Josiah to the fair. Only because my lil bro was showing his steer. It was dang hot! I don't do heat well. Zach just wanted to win prizes, but the games were ridiculously expensive, so he only got to play a few.











He was not too impressed and slept through the whole thing. Until the ride home, which consisted of bloodcurdling screams for about 20mins.

Read me a story

This is so sweet, so glad they have each other.

Jo talking to Mama!

5 wks old! He was so cute, although he had a small gas problem in the middle of the video. Excuse him:)
