What a FANTASTIC weekend
We had a really fantastic weekend. PARTY!! We were so happy this weekend to have friends and family around us as we celebrated the birthday's of Z&A and K's recital. My mom & dad (Al) came from Ozark, MO - what a long trip! Thank you both so much for coming, helping, and celebrating with us! My dad (Harold) & Judy-Mom came from Kingwood, TX to spend time with the grandkids and see some super terrific dancing! Last, but never least, Uncle Scotty-Watty-Poopy-Potty came all the way to longhorn country to see one of his favorite nieces dance her toes off! Thank you so much - that really made K's day!!! She was so excited to have everyone there. To my new friends around here, thank you so much for taking part of your Saturday to celebrate with us - your friendship is so wonderful and I am so honored to count you all as friends!! Thank you for blessing my children with your presence and your gifts of love! Here are just a couple of the 400+ pictures that Uncle Scoot took (I will be doing a LONG montage soon):

Because...
I'm afraid of my MIL (hee hee - love you Bonnie).
It has been several days since I posted a blog. I am preparing for the BIG party this weekend so I haven't had time to do an update. But here's a small snapshot of what has been happening here. I have a science montage to share soon, we've played with bananas, bottles, balloons and worms - not necessarily altogether. You'll see what I'm talking about soon. A's big thing now is to put everything around her neck (scary!) and to carry stuff, I guess now that she's got this walking thing down pat that she must proceed to the next step - pack mule!
B's still adorable! Z's funny and as wacky as ever and K's just a terrific as ever!
Here's some pictures to enjoy until I can give a real update!
In her right hand you will see K's watch...
Now it is on the back of her neck. Such a silly girl!
Max is not so thrilled with A taking his food jug all over the kitchen.
Or is he just unhappy because we keep his food in an old cat litter box....
He looks so cute & innocent.... BUT he's the reason for the next picture!
He threw this horrible sticky man on my vaulted ceiling - ugh!
Worms! Gotta love worms. (or not)
Uh oh this picture was taken right before my "respect all life" lecture.
(Lecture #237)
I don't think my lecture made any impact when he saw that when you
toss worms around they tie themselves in knots!
Oh yea did I mention that Jason started Fitness Boot Camp?
Here he is trying to take some of K's Wacky Mac!
She put up a good fight!
Go Jason, go Jason!

What did you do this weekend?
You tell me... and I will tell you.
I cleaned my closet, as you can see in the pictures below, I had a lot of stuff in my closet. When it was all done (actually mostly done) I had four bags of trash, two bags for Goodwill plus a couple of boxes. Phew! I really needed to clean!
B's friend Harrison came to visit from CS, so I took the "big" kids to Gatti Town last night. Then this morning the B, K & Harrison ran in the 1K fun run.
Oh yea, one other minor thing, I ran/walked in my first ever race - a 5K (that's a little over 3 miles). I'm not sure of my official time but I know I beat my 45 minute goal. Here's my pictorial proof - in a montage.
Last, but not least, Jason wanted me to be sure and tell you that the 80 year old man and speed walking woman beat me. I've got no shame! I did something I never thought I could have done and I passed 3 people... boo ya! hee hee

Little Z
Yesterday (as you know if you are a regular blog reader) was Z's 3rd birthday. Here are some pictures and stories about our day.
When Jason asked him how old he was he said, "I'm two." Jason tried to explain that he was 3 but Z wouldn't hear any of it, because in his mind you can't be 3 until you blow out your candle, eat your cake and people sing to you. Jason had a birthday donut with him for breakfast but that just didn't cut it!
When K got up I asked Z to tell her what today was. His response, "It's your birthday!" Not quite.
K and I made Z a little birthday surprise, see picture below.
I can explain! If I make cupcakes (which I will be doing for the "big" party) I WILL eat them! I have a horrible sweet tooth. So this way Z had a "cupcake" to eat for his birthday and I had something to snack on that was semi-healthy. This reminds me of the another Z funny - he looked in the oven while these "cupcakes" were cooking and said, "those are muffins man." Ha, ha, ha... can't fool him.
Finally on the way home from dinner, Z picked Texas Roadhouse (with only a little bit of encouragement from his daddy) we sang happy birthday to him. He enjoyed it so much that we ended up singing it to him 5 or 6 more times before we got home. At which time we listened to the messages on the answering machine and low-and-behold G'ma Bonnie & G'pa John had called and were singing his new favorite song. Enjoy this little serenade!
John - aren't you glad I was able to get the end of that on video? American Idol would surely be calling you if you weren't, how old was that again?!

Happy Birthday Z
Three years ago today WE welcomed the addition of a fabulous baby boy. When I say we, I mean WE! B&K were in on the naming of this boy, they even out-voted their Dad so we found out ahead of time that we were welcoming a boy, so this day was a big adventure for us all. I loved putting together this montage - he's got the best faces! Z we all love you and are so glad that you are with us on this journey.
Enjoy!
Be careful though watching this will induce a Zach Attack = uncontrollable urge to hug Z!
