Snow day!

Baby Jared all snugged up in the garage/carseat.

Zachary was not happy that daddy was tying plastic bags over his shoes. Yes, we are ghetto like that!

Phil and the kids getting ready to go out and play/shovel the driveway and half the court.

This picture was taken at 10 AM. It didn't stop snowing til about 6 PM. We got a lot of snow. Luckily after Phil shoveled the snow, it didn't stick as much after.

Making Eggies

Kaylin: "Mom, you're a great cooker."
Me: "Kaylin, so are you!"

Jared and bathtime

Finally can bathe them all together! It's wonderful!

He loves his little fingers. He sucks on two fingers or his whole fist. He also likes to suck on his tongue. It's cute!

Laundry Pile

Phil decided to "help" with the laundry by doing it and then throwing it in a big pile on our bedroom floor. While I was on the phone finding the cheapest insurance, the kids did this. Kaylin said that it was a pond. She was a dolphin and Zachary was an alligator or a shark (depending on when you asked him).

Phil turns the BIG 3-0.

Fun with friends the Halberts and Cardons, Macaroni Grill, Best Buy, Strawberry Cheesecake from Costco, and one OLD happy man! Happy Birthday! Good thing I have another 3 years for this one! :)

Zach Zach Attack!!!

So anyone who knows us well, knows that we just love our little Zach Zach. He is a cutie patootie and is always into everything. He is very destructive and likes to wreck, break and destroy things. My friend was asking me the other day how much it cost to add another child into the family (she was thinking of having another one). I told her that it depended on the child. Zachary costs lots in repairs and damages, Kaylin in medical bills. Jared hasn't cost much, but we'll see if he sides with his sissy or brother. Here's all the wonderful things that Zachary has done to destroy our home and possessions:

He broke the toilet last year by flushing a barbie toothpaste down it. See this blog entry. As a result, we had to replace the toilet. When we went to the store to buy a new one, the lady at Home Depot, to be funny, scanned Zachary and said "Priceless." I immediately corrected her and said, "No, he cost us $100 bucks for that toilet!"

Last week he took a crayon and wrote on his wall. When I asked him why he did it, he didn't have an answer, just a "oh no. I write on the wall." I made him "clean" it up with me by giving him a scrub brush while I really scrubbed with the magic eraser.

He broke our DVD player by opening it and leaning on the disk drive. He has broken the computer's disk drive 5 or 6 times. Phil says each time that "this is the last time" he's going to fix it. He has broken a little statue that we have out in the yard by knocking it over. It was a statue of a cute little boy sitting on a turtle. Now it's a statue of a little boy with a decapitated head. Hopefully it glues back on.

He has spilled red juice on the carpet, peed on the carpet, got into my craft bag and put paint on the walls (luckily all these things came out). He is a busy boy! Look at his face and his little ears and ask yourself, "What's not to love?"

We love him lots and we hope... he's worth every penny.
