first birthday fun!

I cannot believe it's been a year since Zackary was born.  It has been full of fun and new adventures that I wouldn't trade for the world.  We love him so much and he is such a sweet, fun little boy!

For his birthday we had a monster party.  I made monster cupcakes and they turned out so cute!  He loved the cupcake and ice cream he ate and smeared it all over his face!  He got spoiled by everyone and now needs a toy box for all the fun toys he got.  It was a great day!

After the party was over he found the bag of garbage and started playing with the boxes and plastic coverings for the toys.  Who knew they'd be more fun than the toys that came in the boxes!

halloween

Zackary was the cutest little dog for Halloween!  We went to our ward Trunk or Treat on the wednesday before Halloween and then went trick or treating with our good friends on halloween night.  Zackary seemed oblivious to what was going on but also seemed to have fun.  By the end he was so tired he kept laying his head down on Jeff's head.

 

the pumpkin patch

We love fall and the beautiful colors and smells. We wanted to take Zackary to a pumpin patch to see what he would do with the pumpkins and to take some cute fall pictures. When Jeff tried to sit him down by them he got scared and wouldn't get down. We finally found a small pumpkin he could hold and then he had a great time exploring. He even started to eat the hay. He met a very friendly goat and kept wanting to go back and say hi to him. I have to say we got some pretty great pictures! Happy Fall!

big trouble

Zackary is becoming more and more mobile, which makes having a small apartment a good thing.  I think he is going to bypass walking and go right to running as he is always on the move.

Thanks to all of the hair on Zackary's head we are never sure what it's going to look like when he wakes up.

books, books, books...

"The more that you read..."



"The more things you will know..."

"The more that you learn..."

"The more places you'll go"

on the move and into everything

Since the moment Zackary has learned to crawl he moves around very fast and gets into everything!

Sadie's bowls are so fun! Especially the one with water.

Electronics or anything with cords are also very fun!

One day we found him trying to get some of the rocks out of the red planter pot. 

He eventually got high-centered on the pot. It was so funny we had to take pictures.

"Help get me out!!!!"

We helped him out as he wasn't sure how to get out.

Zackary also likes to get into Sadie's crate. 

Were not sure Sadie likes him in there.

If Sadie could talk I think she would be saying

"Will you please do something about him? He's in my space!"

dewey beach, again!

In June we went to Dewey Beach again with a bunch of friends from our ward.  We had so much fun and it was great to go back there.  I think if somebody had tried to tell me a year ago that I would be going again next year and that I would have a baby I wouldn't have believed them.  It's amazing what can happen in a year!

Zackary loved it!  We thought for sure he would try to eat the sand but all he did was grab handfuls and let it run through his fingers.   

Sadie also had a great time and wore herself out running up and down the beach.

Don't you just love those big blue eyes!

He wasn't too fond of the cold ocean water but had lots of fun splashing in a little bucket of water we gave him.

Helping dad build a sandcastle.

The sandcastle started out to be a Lord of the Rings mountain but ended up looking like a dragon.  It was built by all the big boys!
