Best Buds!!

Finally! Zach and Tucker got a playdate!! They were so adorable together and we got some great pics! Tucker found Zach's toes, tried to grab his hair, Zach tried to hit him in the face and in the end they held hands. It was so precious! They had a pretty good time us mama's think! See for yourself!!












Hey you got toes too...WoW!

New Quick Pic

Just wanted to post a quick pic of Zachy! We finally got him to sit in his pod for a few seconds for a picture. He doesnt really care for the thing too much yet, I think it bothers his hernia to sit like that, but he loves to stand! We are just working on getting a better control of his head, he tends to wobble around alot when he gets excited! He's doing quite well with his accomplishments especially for being born at 37 wks! As soon as we get the head control figured out Im sure he will be going to town in his jumperoo!!!

The Crew 2008

Zachys Siblings!!

Just wanted to post an update on the other kids!

Abbie just had a state competition for gymnastics and won first place for all around and is now your State Level 5 age 12 yr old Champ! She also took first for the Beam and Floor and Second for Bars. We will be going to Des Moines for her National Championship in June and then 2 wks later another Nationals in Sheybogan WI. We will be gone for a week at the second Meet. Should be quite a trip!

Molly has her Daddy/Daughter Prom tonight! We are so excited and the day has just been buzzing about tonight. She is going to Starbucks for a frap and then going to get her hair done, and then coming back to get ready. Then we are going to her friends house where they are "double dating" and taking pictures and getting their flowers. We are then going to the dance for more pictures and watching the Grand March. I guess there are 200 COUPLES!!! So its going to be quite the shindig! I will definately be posting some pictures as soon as I can!

Nate is doing well. He has started Soccer and Baseball this past week. Of course we havent had one game yet, because of all the rain!!! He's only had one practice. We have soccer on Saturdays, and tomorrow is suppose to be 70 so hopefully we get to have a good game.

They are all in love with Zach. Abbie has been a big help with changing diapers and playing w/ him on the floor. We are still working on a family routine w/ me working and all, but we'll get it figured out. They all came to work last night and brought their dinner and sat in the cafe and ate while I fed Zach. It was a nice family dinner. I am going back to full-time (40hrs) so I will be gone even more than before. Work has just been so busy, hopefully with the warmer weather, people will begin getting healthier.

Keep checking back for more updates!!!

Mama's 3 mo old big boy!

Mama's LiL Zachy

Ahhh Mamas Little Boy. He is getting so big. We made another trip to the dr this am, poor little one has another ear infection. This makes 4? since he was a month old. We are looking at getting tubes, but the dr. is hoping we can hold out til the fall when he is a bit bigger. The girls had tubes, so Im not surprised that he needs them. He weighed in at 14lbs 11oz, such a chunk! I cant believe he is over 3 mos old. He is getting so big so fast. Makes me sad. He doesnt look like a newborn anymore, he's so rolly polly pudgie, and cooin up a storm. Talks to his ceiling fans and angels all the time. He is such a good baby. Very mellow...thank goodness!!

He's sleeping in 3 1/2 to 4 hrs stretches at night. Could be better, but I'll take what I can get. Im still working evenings/nights. Things have been quite busy at work, hopefully when the warmer weather comes things will calm down.

Things with me are going well. I've now lost all my baby weight, and under what I weighed before I got pregnant. Nursing is going wonderfully and he has gotten the hang of it like a champ. We were nursing in the car the other day and was getting him into position and he looked up at me with the biggest open mouth smile and a twinkle in his eye. That look was killer. You could tell what he was thinkin....Oh yeah mama's got the goods!

Our formal living room has turned into "babyland". We have the pack and play, the "fun" bouncer, the "nighttime" bouncer, the moses basket, the swing, the kick gym, the boppy gym, and the basket of toys. Not to mention the Peg Perego Stroller for my mom's car, our wingback chair and couch, my scrapbooking cabinet and the fireplace. LOL Everything has its little spot in that room when things get "put away" when not in use, but at least Zach has something to play with!

Easter was great! The weather not so much but that's ok, we were with family and the kids had a blast. Lots of food, most all mama/zachy safe, and tons of candy. The good ol' bunny left 71 eggs, but we missed 2. We looked everywhere for those eggs, with no luck. Im sure grandpa will find it w/ the mower sometime!!
