My baby is 2!

Zachary turned 2 this morning at 1:15am! I think he must have remembered the time cause at around that time this morning he was actually up! I didn't realize till much later (like 10ish) how weird it was that he was up at the same time he was born 2 years ago! We celebrated by having dinner with Grandma and Papa Raitz and going to the local fair for some fun! We are having a big party in July for both boys with the whole family! I think Zach had fun! He is cuddled up in bed now with his new soft Thomas blanket from Grandma and Papa!

Can anyone tell me the shipping charges?

Just joking! I would never ship them away! We got an order of Zachs food today ($75 for 6 items!!) and the boys decided the box made a perfect boat! I just wish they were always this happy with each other! They can be the best of friends one minute and the worst enemies the next! For the most part though they are happy to play with one another! I hope they remain good friends as they get older!

My little man

I love this boy! He is one of the sweetest boys I know! He is always ready to give his mom a hug! He will run up to me with arms open and just squeeze me! I love it! I can't call him my boy though as he is quick to correct me that he is daddys boy! So I call him my little man! He has the best smile and the greatest laugh!

My Princess!

Tonite is the princesses recital! She is in two numbers, one for tap and one for ballett. Her rehersal on saturday went great! The girls all remembered their routines and looked very cute! I think Bekahs favorite part is she gets to wear makeup! I can't blieve how big she has gotten since the start of this year! She will be a kindergarten graduate tomorrow! Yesterday was her end of school party and I was looking at all the kids and was amazed at how much they have changed since school started in august! My baby girl will soon be in school all day everyday! I want to know where the time went? What happened to the little bundle I was handed in the hospital? When I asked the very question to Bekah she said "I grew up mom!" When I asked her who gave her permission to grow up so fast she was quick to reply "Jesus". She has gotten too smart for her own good sometimes!

His first shiner!

This is what happens when 30lbs of toddler chases a bouncy ball down a driveway! Ouch! I was not there at the time of the fall, but I am told he was very brave and only cried for a few minutes! It looks much better now almost a week later! It has scabbed up (and been picked and rescabbed) and the bruise is almost gone! He now has a bruise on the other cheek though from a run in with a table at church! Zach is all boy and he has two speeds...fast and faster! Sadly for him he got my clutzy genes! He loves any adventure and his recent scrapes have not slowed him down!
