Zach is 6!!

This boy is growing up way too fast! On December 31st, Zach turned 6. I can't believe how quickly another year just flies by and we are doing Christmas and New Years and birthday all over again! Seriously it feels like yesterday he was turning 5! I am feeling a little sad with how fast these kids grow up! Zach is such a good boy and even though he may have a little more energy than I can handle sometimes he really is a good kid and wants to do what is right. He loves his little sisters and loves to be the big brother. He is in Kindergarten and doing awesome with his reading and writing skills and his new skills in math. He loves to tell time and add and subtract things and he loves to play any kind of sports that anyone will play with him. We found him to be quite the soccer player this year and he is very excited to start T-ball soon in February! We absolutely love this boy and the kind heart that he has and fun loving personality and energy that he brings into our home! Happy Birthday Zach!! We love you so much!!!

Zach woke up and got his favorite breakfast of Cinnamon rolls. I then surprised him and took the kids to Bounce U for fun and afterwards we had lunch at ChickfilA. That afternoon Zach opened his presents from us and Mema and Grandpa. Thanks Mema and Grandpa for the new books and Star Wars Leapster game.
We got him this really cool magnetic marble roller coaster thing that plays to music and a Magnext set to add to the one he has. He was pretty excited to set it up!
That night we went to Cold Stone to celebrate Zach's birthday as a family since on Saturday we were doing the party and cake with everyone else.


Madelyn enjoyed a little of everyone's ice cream!


On Saturday we had the actual birthday party where we went Bowling! We let Zach choose and invite only four friends, Ryan, Dillon, Bryant, and Landon and cousins Millie and Justin Hinson and Justin and Jordan Capell too! Thanks Grandma Stacy and Auntie Sheila for driving all the way here so early on a Saturday morning!! The kids seemed to really have a fun time and after the bowling we had cupcakes and opened presents.




The girls- Kali and Millie.

The boys- Jordan, Justin, Bryant, Dillon, Landon, Zach, Ryan, and Justin.
Madelyn loves her Auntie Sheila!



Zach got some pretty cool games and toys! Thanks friends and family!!

And, I'll leave you with this...the final scoreboard of my bowling game with Millie, Kali, Justin, Sheila and Mark. Let's just say it was my best game EVER! and I am a little proud of it. You can't see Mark's score but just so you know mine was higher! hehe! Love you babe! So here you go... This is for you Dad!!

WOW what a party!! Wish we lived close so we could have come!! Happy belated birthday Zach. Can't believe he is 6. I always know how old he is because he was born a few days after Eric and I got married-and we just celebrated 6 years of marriage! Oh and congrats on the bowling score. I have not bowled that well EVER!!
