Zachary's Birthday

Zachary's turned 8 last weekend!  It's hard to believe that my first baby is now getting so big!  We celebrated with lots of family (all of our parents) and Uncle Jed, Katie and baby Charlotte.  We had a little cookout for Zachary with his favorite foods...hot dog and corn..and a cake with his favorite cartoon character phineas.  He got lots of great presents from everyone, including the Harry Potter movies from Jed, Katie and Charlotte, an HP video game from Uma, and a HP lego set from grandma and grandpa.  Can you tell he was all about Harry Potter this birthday??  He just finished reading the first book and is now starting the 2nd.  We watched the first movie last night and he was glued!





Vincent was ready to help him blow out the candles!




Opening presents!


Also this week Zachary had his first cross country meet.  We were so proud of him!  He ran a whole half mile under 5 minutes without stopping!  But the best part was that he had a huge smile on his face the whole time!




There were over 130 3rd and 4th grade boys in the race.

A great stride!



A proud Zachary!

The reward - a bag of popcorn at the finish!





I also had a birthday this week!  It was a wonderful day!  I got flowers and candy..and the vacuum that I asked for!  I also had a baby dr. appointment and everything was fine.  Heartbeat was around 150.  Next time we'll get an ultrasound and it will be time to answer the big question boy or girl?!!!

We're headed for another busy week, but as always the kids keep things fun and interesting!

More on that later.....
