Valentines Day!

!On Valentines Day we went to Ocean Shores. Ali was very excited about the prospect of swimming. It was soooooooo cold, I don't think she or I realized how cold the Ocean would be in February. No, I didn't let her swim or go in the ocean.
A Family Picture on the same log I took pictures of Ali on, last April.

The kiddos!

The babes!
Zac knows a winning hand of Eucre when he sees one. He loves to flirt with Kristin!
We got all dressed up for Kristin's 30th "Come as Superhero" Birthday Party. Ali and I are Batman, Zac and Chewie are Superman, and Mike is Clark Kent.
Ali is doing gymnastics on Saturday mornings. She loves it. We are going to start her on indoor pee-wee soccer this Spring!

Christmas in Sandpoint

Zachery is STARTING to eat big boy food! Yeah!

We went to Sandpoint for Christmas. The entire

time we were there the girls (Saoirse, Mia, and Ali)

dressed up and danced around the house!

We actually had enough snow for Mike and Ali to make a

snowman when we got back!

Papa reading The NIght Before Christmas to the girls!

Ashlinn kicking back and watching tv!

Ali is now sleeping in a big girl bed. Yeah!

Ali loves to dress up! She decided to take the

stocking we had from Christmas and create a

whole new outfit for my mom!

Great Grandma with Zacaroo!

My mom took the girls outside to play in the snow one of

the first days we got to Sandpoint. We received about 18 more

inches of snow after this picture!

Uncle Matt, Zacaroo, Great Grandma, and Ashlinn.

I think this might be a new Christmas Eve tradition.

Making Gingerbread houses!

New favorite Zac pictures!

My two new favorite pictures of Zac!

What a sweetheart!

The kiddos!

Ali dressing herself Again!
Baby Zac. Don't you love that smile. You should hear him laugh.
As of today, he is no longer in his baby seat. He weighs too much, so he is in a big boy car seat.
Our Big Girl!


Update on US:
Ali is potty training with a lot of success. She is earning those M&M's left and right. She is becoming such a little girl. Her babyness is disappearing, which is hard! Mike and I agree that she definitely rules the roost. We do what Ali wants to do, when Ali wants to do it.... Okay, not all of the time. But everything is tailored around her and he emotions (I wonder where she get those emotions from, hmmmmm).
Zacaroo (Aka Bubba, Slug o matic, and Tacos the Clown) is quite a slug (he is still working on rolling over). He had his 6 month check up and was almost 22 pounds. OF course he was above 100% in everything, he is my son! He has two teeth, he got them both last month (November 9 & 11) I believe. He has 4 more ready to burst. What a sweet, cute, loving baby. I can't wait to see who he becomes.
