Zack's Winter Preschool Program

If you read my blog about Zack's Fall Program you know that he sat down the entire time. He improved a lot by standing the whole time and joined in on some of the motions too. He didn't really sing much but he's been singing all the songs at home:) We are very proud of him!

Pizza with Santa

We went to Aurelio's in Frankfort to have pizza with Santa! Zack had already seen Santa at his school but this was Noah's first time:)

Yay! A good picture of my boys with Santa

My sister, Jen, and her daughter, Mallory, came with too. Mallory started crying as soon as Jen put her on Santa's lap and then Noah wanted to join in on the fun:)

Happy Halloween!

Every year we go trick-or-treating in downtown Frankfort with Shannon, John, Luke, Aidan, Auntie, Kristal and my parents. My sister, Jen, and her family joined us this year which was great for Noah and Mallory's first Halloween:)

Halloween Party

Zack had a Halloween party at school on the Sunday before Halloween. Grandpa and I went with him. He got to dress up in his costume. He had lots of fun playing games and going on the jumpy's!

Fall Preschool Progam

Zack had his first preschool program in October. Although he stayed on stage the whole time, he did not sing and sat down the ENTIRE time. I guess for this being his first time ever doing something like this, he did a good job:) His next one is in December so we will see how he does for that one!

6 months old!

My sweet little Noah is already 6 months old!!!! I can't believe it! He is getting bigger and stronger everyday. He is rolling over (mostly in his sleep, which wakes him up)and sitting up on his own pretty good now. He just LOVES his big brother Zack:) He laughs at him all the time, even if Zack is just looking at him.

Zack's 3rd Birthday!

We were at the lake on vacation for Zack's birthday this year. Everyone came to celebrate and have a fun day in the sun:) Zack had such a great time!!!!

The morning of Zack's birthday I let him open one present but he had to wait to open the rest when everyone got there later for the party.

Luke and Aidan were just as excited to see what Zack opened.

He got a semi truck car case to hold his matchbox and hotwheels cars.

I had Zack pick out what kind of cake, frosting and sprinkles he wanted and I baked them when we got to the lake. He chose chocolate cake, strawberry frosting and chocolate sprinkles!

Eyeing the cupcakes!

Singing to the birthday boy!

Opening presents- a Thomas book

A remote control car that flips over when you run into things with it (from Auntie Jen, Uncle Steve, Sydney and Mallory)

A crane truck (from Luke, Aidan, Aunt Shannon and Uncle John)

Since Zack's birthday was while we were away on vacation we waited to give him his present when we got home. We got him a bike:) This was his face when daddy brought it out!

So happy! He's not quite riding it yet but he was really excited to get it:)
