Zach Attack

This is one of my favorite photos of Zachary. He wore this shirt everyday for about a month. He took it out of the dirty clothes hamper every morning as soon as he got out of bed if I forgot to sneak it out and wash it after he went to bed. It has strangely disappeared... Anyway, one day Zach put on this pair of my socks, trying to be a pirate, and put a dandelion behind his ear before he climbed our tree. I'm glad he stayed there long enough for Andy to grab the camera!


Zach being his usual self at our family photo shoot. Zach keeps things lively at our house. What would we do without him?



We go to the hot air balloon competition every year on the 4th of July. 6:00 a.m. is worth it.

Waiting for the Freedom Festival Children's Parade to begin. Zach, Eliza and Caleb.

Zach got to go camping with his dad and his cousins. City of Rocks!

Zach and his friend Ethan enjoy a snack at the Soldier Hollow Mt Bike race they went to with their dads.

It had been a long day.... and a long night the night before.

Our fabulous neighbors organize an Easter Egg hunt every year, a little wet this year but of course Zach loved it. Hazel and I were home staying warm and dry.

Zach was eating the Napkin with his Ice cream cone so I told him it was definitely time to throw it away and his reply was, "It's a pretty good napkin."

Zach holding Hazel a few hours after she was born. He is still so sweet with her.


So Zach did indeed have a birthday this year. But since he turned 3 just 4 days before Hazel was born I never got pics of the party etc posted.

Evolution of a Baby

I admit that I love to dress Hazel up. I am sad she is growing out of this dress. I bought it on my first shopping trip after I found out we were having a girl.
Hazel discovered her thumb on the 4th of July. She hasn't removed it from her mouth since... and she sure has been sleeping well!
Hazel was happy to be 3 months old (unbelievable!!) in this picture. And yes, she is flipping off the camera. We noticed she does that...

Zachary is learning to take pictures...He took this of Hazel at 2 1/2 months.

Hazel is showing us her usual happy face at her baby blessing. Two months old already!

Oh, poor Hazel. She had the worste baby acne at six weeks. Didn't take too many pictures for a couple of weeks while she cleared up.

Hazel is having some daddy-daughter bonding time with her dad at 4 weeks.

This picture is Hazel at 10 days, on Easter. She was "due" the day after Easter.This is Hazel a few minutes after she was born. She had chubby cheeks from the beginning!
