Trucks!

Hi folks!

Zachary loves trucks! He loves books about them, big toy trucks, small toy trucks and seeing real trucks! Every time we get in the car to go somewhere he puts his order in on what he really wants to see, "a recycle truck, moving, with a man in it" or "a fire truck with a siren on and a man" etc. Here are some pictures of some trucks we've stopped at so he can check them out up close!

This truck delivers dumpsters to the recycling facility.

Zachary loved watching this!

Today Zachary turns 3 years old! Here's a picture of him that Daddy took at "pretty" school.

Happy birthday to our wonderful little boy!

Annual Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Hi Folks!
A couple of weekends ago we went to the pumpkin patch we have been to every year of Zachary's life! He LOVES pumpkin patches!

Hugs from Mommy

That's Zachary's Pumpkin Train

Pint Sized Pumpkins

You can't help but love this photo!

Whatever he's doing,
he's thinking hard about it!

He paid no attention to the gourds
he was all about the pumpkins!

Wart-y pumpkin - gross!

How about a trip down memory lane...

Here's a picture from last year's

Discovery Green

Hi Folks!

Last weekend we met Lisa and Brinson (while Ned worked in the yard) and had an awesome play date! First we took the train (the light rail) and traveled through the medical center to downtown Houston to the awesome park Discovery Green. Then we did a bit of shopping and took the train back to our cars. What fun!

On the train...

Coloring (paper) butterflies

Playground!

A nice backdrop there...

Sliding!

The kiddos loved the fountains!

The water levels were varied.

Zachary couldn't get enough of it!

Neither could Brinson.

The taller the water, the more fun it was!

Thank goodness for good-traction water shoes!

Trying to dunk his own head!

He must have been thirsty!

Fun, fun.

Here are some movies that show
how much the kiddos loved it.







Thanks Lisa and Brinson for joining us on our fun trip taking the train to Discovery Green!

Love to all!

Backyard Fun!

Hi folks!

Now that fall has finally arrived in Houston, we are enjoying playing outside a lot more. Here's some pictures and video of Zachary enjoying his play yard set.

I found a ball!

Sliding is such fun!

Such a happy boy!

Zachary is mastering the art of rock climbing, rock wall climbing that is!
We're so proud of him!




Our big boy slides down all by himself!

Our Country Boy

Hi Folks!

Labor day weekend we went to visit cousins James & Crystal in the country (central Texas). Zachary LOVED it!

Trying to get to the kitty under the car...

I wasn't able to get a picture of it,
but Zachary actually "rode" Otis the dog!

Playing with the kitty in the fountain


The kitty was not impressed

Riding Pebbles...look at that grin!

Riding Tiger, he loved it!

Tiger was whispering sweet nothings in Mommy's ear...

Playing with Pebbles with Crystal

Crystal learned he's not much of a snuggler anymore,
he's way too active and inquisitive to sit still

Rocking in his own chair

Nice kitty!

Playing football

Good times!

We had such a great time. Thanks James and Crystal for letting us visit with you and for the incredible memories!

Love to all!
