Birthday post

I can't believe that it's already the end of July and I still haven't posted anything about Zack's birthday. I may be running for bad mom of the year or I could just be super busy being a mommy to a toddler. I'm going for the second, just to make myself feel better.

We had a great time for Zack's birthday. We invited family and some close friends over for his party. We barbequed hot dogs and hamburgers and everyone helped out with salads and chips. It's nice having a birthday in the summer because your guarenteed to have a party outside. The downside is IT'S HOT! Next year there will definilty be water involved in his party.

Zack seemed to have a good time. We had the party at 2:00 pm so he had his afternoon nap and was ready to go. When he got up from his nap he walked into the living room to find his grandma holding a bouquet of 30 balloons. And if you know Zack HE LOVES BALLOONS. He squeeled with excitement and ran to greet his grandma and the balloons. He loved them! That could have been his whole party and he would have been happy.

We ate food, opened presents and of course had cake. At first Zack was very neat with his cake. But once Mom showed him to how stick his hands into the cake it was game on. He demolished that cake. And he had such a great time doing it!

A before and after of the cake

Happy Birthday!

Today is a very special day! It's Zackary's birthday!

I can't believe our little guy is already one. It doesn't seem that long ago that we got to hold him in our arms for the first time. The first year really flew by and I can't believe how grown up Zack is already.

Unfortunetly I have to work today and Zack is at the babysitters. I'm really glad that I only have to work a 1/2 day so that we can spend the rest of the day together and when daddy gets home we can celebrate! We also think Zack may be getting another tooth. He has been a little crabby the past few days; yesterday I noticed that he is drooling a ton and had a fever. I feel so bad for him and I hope that he starts feeling better. He work up this morning at 6:00 am just crying.

I'll do another post just for Zack when I get some pictures of him for his one year and when I'm not so tired.

I love you little guy and I'm so glad that you are a part of our family!
Happy Birthday!!

A Zooing we will go

In our family there are two people that have never been to the zoo (and one of them isn't the cat). That's right my friends and family, Bob has never been to the Utah Hogle Zoo; not even on a field trip. Actually the first time he's ever been to a Zoo is when we were in Australia and we went the the Steve Irwin Australian Zoo. Crazy, I know!

So we got a membership.

It's something that I want Zack to grow up doing. And I think the membership is going to be perfect because then we don't have to worry about seeing EVERYTHING in one trip. So Wednesday we went to the Zoo. It was a lot of fun, and the zoo has changed so much since I've been there. There is a new Elephant Habitat, The Cat house has totally been redone so instead of the "cats" in cages they are in what looks like a natural habitat. The penguins are where the seals use to be. And sadly there aren't any Polar Bears, Hippos, Lions or Seals, all which I fondly remember. On a happy note a Giraffe is about ready to have a baby and one of the Elephants is pregnant and should have a new little one in the next month or two.

Zack seemed to enjoy the Zoo. I would let him out of his stroller every once in a while and we point at the different animals. I think he's realizing that there are more animals out there then just a silly cat.

Here are a few pictures from out trip.

And a picture of Zack and one of his friends. Notice Zack is trying to steal his food (That's my son for you!)

And some of the animals that we saw....
