Soooo sad.....but also soooo glad!

I was talking to Chris last night and feeling oh so sentimental.......when I became sad talking about only having 10ish years with my little Zach before he runs off, finds a girl, and becomes a man (who does not need his mommy anymore). I miss this little man so bad. He has grown up so much and is too funny. I spent last night watching him play baseball, all grown up like! He makes me so proud and I am so blessed to have him in my life!!

Thank you Jesus for blessing me with this son..........

Happy Birthday Zachary!! Zach had some kids from school over for his birthday party. He had a blast.....except, of course, when Jazzy broke her arm in football....YIKES!

Posing in their favorite jerseys....

(Jaz pre - arm breakage)

Playing the Wii in the living room due to the cruddy rain outside.... this did not last long as the boys said forget the rain and went outside and slid around anyway!

Some more birthday shots!!

Overall, Zach had a great birthday.....

THE BIG 10...

DOUBLE DIGITS AS ZACH CALLS IT!!

Happy 10th Birthday Zach!!

Thanks Uncle Shaun and Aunt Jenn for the cool Seahawks trash can!!

Zachary had a wonderful birthday (with the exception of being sick and having to stay home from school). We started the morning with Carl's Jr....I know not a wise mommy choice, however Zach was so sad because he got a contagious rash on his face and had to stay home from school for 2 days. Anyway, I told him who else gets to party when they stay home from school. This made it a tad bit better.

Zach got lots of money for his birthday and he has not quite decided what he is going to buy with it. We went to Applebees (his pick) and he opened card after card with money it in. It was fun to watch his eyes get bigger and bigger. Then later we got the mail and even more money and cards.....thanks everyone for a great birthday.

Check out our Little Stud!!

Zach has been loving baseball and we are so proud of his efforts last year to improve. He walked out on the field this year with a new confidence and definitely a better game! He has been practicing pitching and catching! As his mom, nothing is better than watching him do so well at something he loves so much. We are so proud of you son!!

It's Baseball Time Again

Today, headed out to see some clients........AND THEN......

IT'S BASEBALL SEASON AGAIN!

I absolutely looooove watching Zach play baseball! Today is the initial jamboree, basically practice games until the real season starts on Monday. We are blessed to have a coach who is a Christian and actually prays before games, what a blessing!!

Anyway, I will post some pics of baseball soon to come

Thanks Grandma and Papa

Zach got a new bed from Grandma and Papa. It is a queen sized bed, so we moved it against the opposite wall where his twin bed used to be, changed the pictures/posters around, purchased new bedding, and viola....the finished product! Zach was pretty jealous when we were decorating little Luke's room, so he is pretty stoked over his new pad!!

Luke chillin on big brother's bed...

Desk area.....his room could have been built with two large closets, so we took one out, knowing we would use it for a desk!!

Luke loved playing on brother's bed while we were decorating today!
