Our trip to Cali

Hi folks!

Yes, it's been a month since we blogged and we are so sorry! The older Zachary gets the tougher it is to find time to get to the computer to blog. Anyway, we had a great time on our trip and here's some pictures for you to enjoy! (Remember you can click on each picture to see a bigger version of it)

Rock On!

Hi Folks!

Last week Donna and I took Zachary to the Kemah Boardwalk where they have concerts every Thursday evening during the summer. Mommy has been friends with some of the band members of the group A Rival for several years so we enjoyed letting Zachary meet the band and watch Tracy and Twitch perform. We went to see them last year and Zachary loved it just as much.

Playing in the dancing fountain.

Loving the music and the water!

He was so focused on watching Tracy play the drums...

So over the weekend,
we went to a friend's house for a play date,
he saw that they had a drum set just his size!

And a Rock Star was born!

Rock On Little Man! Love to all!

Reading is Fun

Hi Folks -

One of Zachary's favorite activities is to read. Usually he prefers us to read to him, but this book that Uncle Jeff bought him is his favorite one to read to us! This book is "The Very Busy Spider" by Eric Carle.

Enjoy!

Love to all!

Next season on American Idol...

Enjoy this video of Zachary singing his little heart out!

Love to all!

Quality time with Family and Friends!

Hi Folks!

We hope all the mothers out there had a SPECTACULAR mother's day. I sure did! Now that we have given out mother's day gifts to the grandmothers, we can share the pictures of what we did when Uncle Jeff, Auntie Rachel, Avie and Gamma came to town! These are only a few of the 750 pictures that Uncle Jeff took with his fancy camera. Enjoy!!

Gamma make deviled eggs.

Zachary was very curious about
EVERYTHING Avie did!

Enjoying the carousel at the Kemah Boardwalk

get the three of them to look up and
smile at the same time...it never happened!

Zachary's favorite way to slide!

Eating at our tea party!

Avie at one of the three petting zoos we
visited during their week-long stay.

Zachary didn't take many naps
while our family was here...
if he did get one, this is how he took them.

Feeding camels with Auntie Rachel...
note Zachary's new discovery, his tongue!

Feeding some sort of animal with Auntie Rachel.

Zachary is such a deer!

On a fort at Old McDonald's Farm.

See? This really is Zachary's preferred method of sliding.

While Brinson has her on way of sliding!

And Avie chooses to slide down
monstrous sand piles!

Pony rides!

Zachary enjoyed his too!

A good sized horse for Zachary!

We had so much fun with Uncle Jeff, Auntie Rachel, Avie, Gamma and are glad that they got to meet our dear friends (family) the Zaldivars! We are ready for next year's spring break so we can do it all over again!

Love to all!
