Zachary's Last Days of Being 10

I got some great shots of Zack in Monterey a few days before his 11th birthday.

He was very cooperative and a great model!

Recent Happenings

Just some pics and stuff that's been going on around the house lately...

Veronica enjoying some sunshine a couple weeks ago.

Zack posing for the "Zack's Lawn Care" flyer we made.

Francesca's got the hang of her bike now!

Some cute pics of Fresca last week before heading to church.

That afternoon we got some pizzas from "Happy Pizza" and had a picnic at the park.

The boys discovered they can ride Dad's bike.

Francesca enjoys sink time.

The camera lens got foggy, nice effect!

Zack's way of having fun with his little sister.

Getting acquainted with our new beefy cows.

Even Buddy is licking his chops already.

Maybe he'll have some raw meat for starters!

(he loves harrassing the animals 40 times his size)

Veronica enjoying some more grub.

Francesca helps out by getting a few drops into her sissy's mouth.

Francesca's been helpful feeding the cat too.

And today... February 20,

we had a little half birthday celebration in honor of Vincent.

Zack's 10th Birthday

My son has entered the double digits! Here's pics from his sleepover party a couple nights before his birthday. A friend who turned 10 on the same day celebrated with us too, along with 2 other boys.

Zack was happy to get a backpack blower... something he's wanted for years!

Poor kid was sick on his actual birthday but Gramma and Gramps still came over to celebrate his bday and hers. That's her funky lemon cake I made. It tasted good, just looks kinda goopy.

Francesca's Birthday Celebrations

On Francesca's birthday she opened a few presents including a cute Halloween bear from Gramma Cathy...

And a trick or treat bag worn as a hat/mask?

She got a trike from us...

And she fed the chickens, one of her favorite past times.

The next day Gramma and Grampa came over for brunch.

Cheers!

She opened her present from them...

Veronica watched carefully for this Christmas...

Her very own vacuum cleaner was the treat!

And cake and ice cream to top it off!
