Zack loves "nownies"!


Got to ride a horsey at the fair

His latest obsession, dragging these shorts around
the house and trying to put them on himself.

Finally mom helped out

We got to spend a week with Baby!

And last but not least....

Kevin and his brother were able to go to San Francisco to a 49ers HOME game
(I think their lives are complete now)

Healing Field

I'm really tired of working on our Hike post (coming soon)! Besides going on really crazy hikes we have been up to some other fun things too.

Zack loves the American flag so I thought it would be really fun for him to go see the flags at Sandy City Hall while they were up in honor of September 11th.

What a little poser. He could wait to get across the street to see all those flags!

This nice lady saw us and insisted on taking a picture for us since we were all wearing red white and blue. I was so embarrassed! I didn't do it on purpose. Kevin said when he saw Zack wearing red and me wearing blue he thought he should wear red too.

Zack would stop all the time and just sit on the grass and take in the sight of all those cool flags.

He is doing this really funny thing lately where he likes to say "oooooo" to everything.

This is the best picture we could get of Zack and I.

I love that Zack is very aware of the world around him now, it is so fun to go places and explore new things with him.

Stay Tuned

Stay tuned for an episode of "I shouldn't be alive"
(i.e. our labor day 5-8ish mile hike)

Family Pictures

We had family pictures done a few weeks ago with the West side. Here are a few cute shots.

Kindermusik

Zack started going to a Kindermusik class a few weeks ago. This picture is after his first class. That day we sang and danced and talked about birds. We made a little bird picture and for some reason I started calling it an owl. I hung "owla" on the garage door and Zack talks about "owla" all day long! We also got a fun little snack. It was a birds nest made out of chinese noodles with peanut butter and butterscotch on them with skittles in the middle. Way cute idea!

A boys best friend

Last week my parents went out of town and didn't want to take princess Bernie with them so she came to sleep over with us. Zack and Bernie are the best of friends. Bernie is so patient with her and will let him climb all over her, pull the tags on her collar and even poke her eyes out. I guess she figures the fact that Zack feeds her his food and she can always get a good lick of his face is a good trade.

Look how sweet these two are looking out the window

A special announcement

At Zack's 9 month dr appointment he wasn't crawling yet. His doctor and I both agreed that he would probably just skip crawling and go to walking.

AAAAHHHHAAAAHHHHAAAHHHAAA!!!

He started crawling at 11 months. This week he will be 15 months and still not walking. I've been complaining about it for months. The kid is just too big for me to be carrying him around everywhere! And YES, I know my life will be more complicated with a walking toddler!

The other day our friends were joking with us that he really does walk, just not when we are looking.

So Saturday night our friends were babysitting for us and "claim" that Zack started walking back and forth between the furniture. YEAH RIGHT! He wont do it for us..... Today my Dad and my sister were watching him and claimed that he was doing the same thing. That's what I "hear" I thought..... But now I have proof!

Zack is FINALLY beginning to walk willingly!

HOORAY! Can you tell im excited?

Beach & Backyard Bash

We also went to the "beach" in Daybreak this past weekend. My dad brought all of his boats so we canoed, swam and played in the sand. Even though it was blazing hot we had an awesome time!

Zack's first sand castle

He was quite pleased that I let him crawl around in the water

Zack and Grandpa conversing about going in the boat
I thought this picture of Emily and the kids was really sweet

This one turned out pretty sweet too!

Beach Bums because we didn't bring our suits, NEXT TIME FOR SURE!Zack is always happy if he is stuffing his face...

Don't worry about my finger, it had a nasty cut on the knuckle,
it's healed and I am no longer flipping everyone off all the time.

Two cool Babes

Baby and the Tramp

This weekend we went up to see my aunt in Heber. Zack is getting sooo busy we do everything to keep him occupied. Here are some cute pictures playing on the BLACK trampoline. He loved crawling around and around and around, he made me quite nervous but he's pretty cautious so I trusted him. Afterword we had to give him a bath because he was soooo dirty!


A poser just like his Daddy



Look how black his hands are in this second picture!

Introducing.... the FORK!

I'm deciding it's time to let Zack be a little more independent and with that independence, comes MESSY! It's gotta happen sooner or later, I cant be feeding him his dinner on his first date. So here goes.

Doing pretty good....


Got most of it in your mouth....


You did it!!! YEAH!


Oops, baby the fork is upside down...



Uhhh, give us a little bit more time.

A few from the 4th

Just a few from the 4th of July...
