Camping






Mark had work off this last tuesday so we decided Monday night to go camping. Zach loved it. He would point to all the trees and say "teeee" and then when he stumbled on some rockes he would sit in the dirt or lay down and brush his arms up and down the dirt. It was so fun to watch him. He loves being outside and up in the mountains with all the trees was heaven for him.

I was prepared for the worst when it came to sleeping but Zach did really well. He went to bed a couple hours past bed time but slept really well. After we put him down at 9pm he only cried for a couple minutes before falling asleep. we wrapped him in a blanket and then put him in my sleeping bag. I was planing on getting in the sleeping bag with him because my bag was pretty wide and we only have two sleeping bags but when i tried Zach woke up and cried for about 30 minutes. As soon as i left him alone in the sleeping bag he went back to sleep. So Mark and I ended up sleeping under an unzipped sleeping bag together. thankfully it wasn't bitter cold, but it was a bit chilly. It was also so windy. We were amazed at how windy it was. At one point during the night the front part of the tent collapsed on us. it was crazy. but we all had fun. and slept better than expected.

Expressions

Zach hit his head on the corner of the wall yesterday. It was so scary for me. Right after he fell and hit his head it swelled up and was all purple. It doesn't look bad in this picture though. Below are some of my favorite pictures of Zach's expressions.









The Farm

While we were in Wisconsin we went to the River Falls Farm.
Zach loved the cows. He wanted to learn what cows were all about so to find out he stuck his finger up his nostril.

Wisconsin

My sister in law JANA got married on Friday in the St. Paul Temple. Here are a few pictures at the lunch before the wedding.

Shae, Dan, and Mark
Zach woke up for the reception party that night. People wanted to see him so we woke him up for a few hours.

Zach knows two different signs, eat and more. Here he is signing more.

Zach taking off down the hall. We had a hard time keeping up with him at the church (that is were the lunch was held) he loved running up and down the halls.

More of Air Show




























Zach did not like the F-16. It was really loud we bought ear plugs for him but he wouldn't wear them.

Busy Day



We finally got Zach a bigger carseat.









Saturday morning I ran 16 miles. I'm training for the Top of Utah Marathon in two months. Mark says I look like Batman in this picture with my water bottles, pepper spray (I went running early in the morning when it was dark and i'm a scardy cat), and MP3 player.

On Saturday Mark, Zach and I went to the air show held here in Twin Falls. Some of our neighbors had some extra tickets and gave them to us. Zach loved the planes at first but got really tired and cranky near the end. The Blue Angels came, which was amazing. It was the coolest show ever. Unfortunetly once the Blue Angels started flying Zach had had enough so we had to watch them from the car.


















Zach would clap when the planes flew by.

Zach

here are some pictures of Zach. Zach loves his hair being played with. So when he gets craby or I get bored I give him a little hairdo.
