ZACK'S OFFICIALLY IN KINDERGARTEN!!!

Up EARLY & ready to go!!


He is also very excited to go to school with Libby!

I had to get one last picture before he went in on his own!!
He has really enjoyed his first 2 days...when my sister asked him how his day was he just did the thumbs up!

"FIRSTS"

Tyler's "FIRST" broken bone...

Tyler lookin' good
in his new sling & Libby's swim shoes.

On Saturday Tyler walked in front of Zack while he was swinging with his soccer cleats on. His foot smacked into Tyler's collar bone. It was a long experience at the doctor's office because from the 1st x-ray the doctor couldn't tell if it broke in or out....if it broke in, it could puncture a lung or another organ. So, three x-rays later (which traumatized poor Ty man) we finally found out it broke the right way. We were very blessed!! So now he gets to sport around his nice sling for a few weeks. As you can see by the picture above the break hasn't slowed down my little "ham" at all!!!

I love this picture of Tyler on the cell phone telling Pa-Pa Steen about his rough day. You gotta love those legs!!

AND...

Libby had her "FIRST" day of school on Monday....

All ready for second grade!!

THE BIG "5"!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

ZACKARY!!

Our Zack can't already be starting kindergarten??
Time flies....

Zack is such a great kid! He was born while Steve was in Iraq, so for a little while his nickname was Zacky, "The Iraqi". He has been such a sweet boy from the start. He has given his mom a few scares though.
When he was a week old he was hospitalized for a few days because they thought his temperature could be caused by meningitis. He had to have 2 spinal taps & was given antibiotics. Luckily it was just viral & he was ok.

You can see the IV mark in his hand.

Then when he was three months old he had to have surgery on his head because his soft spot closed up too soon. They took out a bone in his forehead & made slits in the back of his skull. He now has a scar that goes from ear to ear on his head. He was so strong & brave & recovered quickly. Which I was glad for because the army wouldn't let Steve come home for the surgery.

Just a week later & he was all smiles...we love those dimples!!

As you can see he was my HAPPY baby!!




He still is a happy kid with a great heart, who always thinks of others!!


We Love you Zack!!
Happy Birthday!!

BIRTHDAY FUN
