Just a quick post to say we are having another BOY!!! what was I thinking?!?!?

Zack had surgery on Aug.17th, he had tubes put in his ears!!! We got to the hospital at 6:30am and he was as happy as can be!! As soon as they called us back, he new something was up and he was not happy. He pretty much cried the hole time, which was sad. This is a picture of him before surgery.
His surgery lasted a half hour and then we got to go see him in recovery and he was CRYING!!!!! Once they gave him food and took everything off he was happy. We got home around 10am and Zack, Dad and Mom took a 4 hour nap!!! That was much needed. When we got up he was as normal as can be, you would not know he had surgery that morning.

This is Zack after surgery, he had to be dressed and have his shoes on, it was just another day!!

Nick was also in Soccer this spring. He was the team goalie and he did an awesome job!! He played must of the season in goal and did not like it. The first game that he got to play on the field he scored!! All in all he had fun but he asked that we don't tell his new coach that he can play goalie because it is boring.

What Cody calls soccer

We put Cody in spring soccer and he claims he likes soccer, but I don't think he was playing it. He spent most of his time playing in the dirt.

This year for 4th of July we got FIREWORKS and the boys had the best time watching and playing with them!!

Nick and his friend took these pictures to earn their photography belt loop. I think they did an awesome job, and this was Nick's first time using a camera. I really like the picture of Emma, she has an awesome smile. I also like the one of Scott too because Emma wanted Brendan to take a picture of her with her dad and this is what he took, it made me laugh! The boys had fun!!

We went camping with our friends the Davis family! thanks for inviting us! The boys had a blast.

CODY CAUGHT A FISH!!! Thanks to Scott and Stephanie for teaching our boys how to fish!! I love Cody's face, he is not sure if he likes the fact that he caught a fish. We were nice and let the fish go!

What the kids are saying!

Nick at a friends house talking to his friend: "I'm serious, Cody eats like a half of the dinner and my dad eats a quarter and my mom eats a quarter of a half and so i only get one. I'm serious!!"
The funny thing is when he got home we already ate without him and we ate it all, so he made himself a sandwich!!

Cody: " Did you know if you swallowed your tooth you WON'T DIE!!! But the tooth fairy would come and be like wares the tooth?!!!"

Zack: ank yo ( Thank you) bu ( bottle) mo ( more) mmmmmmmmmmmm( wants food)!!!
