Zac - the BIG one!

I'll get to a one year post soon, but for now here's the birthday boy! Happy Birthday sweet boy!

Zac - A look back

Oh man, a year ago today I was sitting in the hospital waiting to meet our little boy. Crazy how fast this past year has gone. It's been a crazy good year. Adjusting to being a family of four brought lots of changes, but we did it and survived :)

Bath and play time!

Smiley McGee in the bathtub...you can never have too many picture of a smiling kid. So here's about 20 of them, I just couldn't pick my favorites. These make up for the fact that he had us awake from about 3-4:30 last night screaming at us. We kind of think he looks like Popeye when he scrunches his nose and smiles.



























Juliet and Zac playing together in the ball pit. Maybe we can show these on their wedding one day :) Although they may have to fight for her because Karen says Juliet yells "Tie-ter Tie-ter, Peas, Peas!". I can't wait until it gets warm out and they can all run around together! It's going to be fun :)









I took this one sole picture of Tyler and was told "I didn't want you to take my picture!".

School picture time!

Oh yeah, it's here again! Let's get straight to it...

Fist up we have Tyler. Not a bad picture, but doesn't capture his great smile.



Then, we have Zac with the I'm going to cry in about 2 seconds pose.



And the brothers together. Tyler with the stick my tongue out a tiny bit and Zac perfecting the "daze". In all fairness it was around nap time for Zac so what can we really expect??



Class pictures...Tyler's class has all boys and one girl. Esme can hold her own though she's been putting up with these boys for 3 years! All of his buddies who he's been with since he started are sitting in the chairs and the newest class member who just moved up are sitting on the floor. Cool thing is all these boys live around here so he'll be with them for the next 15 years. Ms. Kristen and Ms. Maris are the teachers and they are awesoeme! Ms. Kristen told me the other day "I want to blow Ms. Jenn's and Ms. T's minds with what my kids know when they get to their rooms". She takes her job so seriously and teaches these kid increible things. And she's having a baby boy in June :)



And the infant class picture is always the best because all the babies just stare and they never capture Linda with a smile. I promise she's very sweet and smiles. The babies love Ms. Linda :)

Vday and much more

I say it every year. We celebrate our love for each other every day around here, but once again my guys got me a pretty bunch of flowers delivered to my work and then I got some new fleece pants (since mine have fallen in to the black hole where socks go) and a cool t-shirt when I got home. One thing about having all boys in the house is I'll forever remain the Queen around this joint. I'm cool with that :)

Filling out valentine's together for two kids this year almost brought out the divorce papers (every time Dave ripped a valentine or sticker he'd say Beth, next year can you not buy valentine's with these tiny %*&$%# stickers!?) and my great idea for Tyler's class almost sent Dave down to Cisco's for a quick shot or two with the locals. But around 11 or so, everything was complete and the boys were ready to spread their love around the entire school the next day (and I looked like a great Pinterest inspired Mom, but Dave did all the work ha!). Win for me...







Tyler's treat bag they made at school



Dave and I have been able to sneak out and go skiing a few times. We took Kyle with us last weekend and it's crazy to see him grown up and skiing with us. Last time we took him skiing he was 3! Happy he's in to it now and that he's not a snowboarder :)



Dave and the head wall on Boomer. Juli and I were attempting to catch some air on it too, but of course we don't have those pictures since we did much better tricks than him :)



And here's Dave giving birth to Juli.



Zac and I went to one of Alex's gymnastic tournaments and she did really great and so did Zac considering he sat there for about 2 hours or so!







And it's here. Amy had a coupon for 2 containers of formula so she bought us each one and delivered it to me with a message :) I'm very happy to be close to the end of my bottle making days!



And just a few more random pictures...
