Busy Zach

Zach starts both soccer and T-ball this week.  I made the mistake of thinking the two sports would not conflict.  I was wrong so he is going to be a very busy 4 year old for the next few weeks.  We enjoyed the nice weather this weekend and spent a lot of time playing baseball in our front yard.

Yum!  The glass tasty.

Zach would rather be pitched to then hit off the T.  

He LOVES baseball!

Headed to soccer.  He told me that he made sure to remember his smile!

What are you doing Zach?

Every morning Zach gets up and watches one show in our bed and then gets ready for school.  Yesterday his show got done while I was getting Ty dressed and he was not in our room.  I was so impressed that he had started getting ready for school without me pushing him.  Wrong!  I heard a noise and looked down the hall to see Zach sitting in his pajamas quietly.  He wouldn't have anything to do with me so Matt had to talk to him.  This is the conversation that ensued.

Matt: "Zach, what are you doing?"

Zach:  Silence

Matt: "Are you sad?"

Zach: "No."

Matt: "Are you happy"

Zach:  "No"

Matt:  "Well, what are you doing?"

Zach: "I'm wishing"

Matt: "What are you wishing for?"

Zach: "My birthday."

I'm afraid he will be wishing for a while.  It is a long time until November!

Why do we even buy toys?

This weekend was the 40% off sale on paint at Sherwin Williams that I have been waiting for to buy paint for our basement.  Zach and I headed over to the store and came home with the funnest toy I could ever get - stir sticks.  Both boys were amused for probably 30 minutes.

Nebraska Spring Game

We took Zach to the Nebraska spring game on Saturday. He was mesmerized by Memorial Stadium and was speechless for the first 5 minutes of the game. At half time we went onto the field for the drug free pledge which all of us thought was awesome. After the game we took pictures around the stadium and even got a picture with cheerleaders.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter with Kate & Blake, my parents and Clay & Tamara and families. Zach was quick to go downstairs to check out his Easter basket and look for eggs. Zach got a Batman watch, Avengers sunglasses, bubbles and a book in his basket. He was very excited to wear his watch to school today. We had an egg hunt in Kate and Blake's backyard on Sunday before lunch where the kids got spoiled with candy! Here are some pictures of the day.

Zach was so excited to check out what the Easter Bunny brought.

Ty was full of smiles on Easter morning.

Check me out in my cool shades chilling in my car seat.

Found one!

Found another one!

Zach said his bag was getting heavy since he found so much candy!

This happy guy had a lot of fun crawling around playing with Brandon's toys.

A plug for our photographer

We have been using Sarah McConnell Photography since Zach was three months old.  When Zach was three months old her studio was in her kitchen.  She continues to amaze us with how well she is able to capture our boys.  We had Ty's 9 month pictures taken recently and here are a few of my favorites.
