ALL DONE

9 Months

I can't believe our little Zac is going on 9 1/2 months now! Time is surely FLYING by.

Zachary doing his commando army crawl/scoot (and Jacob making his tiger noises in the background). Zac is getting good at getting where he wants to be FAST!

The Kids

And earlier this year the girls both signed up to play the piano at their school talent show, they were so cute!

Outside fun!

All four kids on two swings : )

Jacob & Zac have enjoyed wagon rides, when we are lucky enough to have nice weather!!!

Our Easter Festivities!

During spring break the girls each had a day to have some friends over for lunch and an Easter egg hunt.

We also took a trip to Thanksgiving Point on Daddy's day off!

Jacob LOVED playing with the dinosaurs in the sand & water.

Easter came early for us this year (the kids were so surprised that the Easter Bunny came during the middle of the day)!

Easter Day at Grandma & Grandpa's!

It was really great to be with ALL of Mark's FAMILY!

Celebrating Mark's birthday with his family

Instead of making Mark a cake I uses the left-over cupcakes from the girls parties. What do I do with cupcakes for him, I asked myself??? And I came up with 9 holes and a couple of sand traps (he loves to golf)! : )

Swinging Good Time

With the warmer weather, the kids have been out in the backyard, but since the swing set is in the dirt, the kids would finish playing covered in mud!

So we decided before we were forced to replace the carpet we would cover the dirt!

First step: Lay down the weed blockers...

Then over several days (and with "help" from the kids) we moved 2 tons of recycled shredded tires.

During the process the kids had a blast and since we have hardly been able to get them to come in for dinner!

Jake

After having a coughing attack, Jacob said to me, "Mom, come here I will hold you." Such a sweet boy! I went over and sat by him, he put his arm around me and pat my back. : )

Piano

The girls have been taking piano lessons for 2 months now and are doing very well. I have been pleasantly surprised at some of the pieces they have played. Here are some of my favorites.
