Mommy's 50th Birthday Surprise Party

We got her good! She never suspected a thing!!

Gracie and Cousin Thomas

They have become thick as thieves lately whenever they are together

The Boys

Zach and Chipper watching the big kids play outside. We think they are going to kill each other with love eventually.

The Fountain Dome

It got so cold here that the fountain in our pond made a dome that froze around it. The fountain was running inside it.

Brushing our teeth.

Gracie Playing Soccer at the YMCA

It is COLD HERE!!!!!!!

These are the fish ponds in our backyard. The only thing not frozen solid is the water going through the pumps. I hope the Koi are at the bottom.

All Zachary all the time!!

Huge Lollipop

This was Aunt Amber's idea of a good after dinner gift. Obviously, Aunt Amber doesn't have children of her own. Zach got one too.

Turkey Coma

Aunt Amber and Will, both asleep. She can sleep anywhere!!!

Little Momma

This is Gracie pushing her baby doll in the swing that we had left at Mom's. I guess its a good toy since we don't have anymore babies to put in it.

Thanksgiving 2008

Even though it wasn't officially Zach's first Thanksgiving, he enjoyed it like it was. Look at that face, he was so excited to get his plate. He had turkey, dumplings, mashed potatoes, stuffing and green beans...oh and baked corn...he loves baked corn. Did a pretty good job of cleaning is plate too. Unlike his sister who just picked at her dinner but she still hammed it up for the camera.
