Growing Up So Fast

Zachie hit the six month mark this last week- it's hard to believe! He is still tall and skinny at 27 in. and 15 1/2 lbs.- but healthy. He is getting so active and rolling all over the place. I just fear when he's able to walk... He's a lot of fun and I'm amazed how fast time passes...

Here is the best picture I could get of his 2 little teeth. (for all the requests)

Steamboat!

I guess it's been awhile since I've updated... A certain little guy has kept me busy!

A few weekends ago we got to spend a long weekend in Steamboat (about 3 hrs. away). My parents were able to use a vacation home of a family in our ward for the week, and we decided to join them for part of it. Then Cal's parents started thinking... and his dad was able to get to an anesthesia conference there that same week.... So we had a fun weekend with both our parents! Our trip was delayed a couple days because of a big storm and road closures, but once we finally made it through it meant great skiing! It was my first time skiing in 2 years and I was happy to see that I hadn't forgotten how. Calli watched Zach for us and we had a GORGEOUS ski day. Needless to say I was "a little" sore the next few days... (my dad took these awesome skiing pictures)

This is where we stayed- I just thought the snow on the roof was cool. There was SO MUCH snow!

The Good Old Days

Haley...........this one's just for you!!!

Little Valentine

For Valentine's Zach got a little finger puppet book that he loves.
What, this isn't how you read?

And if he loves it so much, why isn't this usually happy boy smiling?

The best things he got were his first TWO teeth!

Silly Boy

This was after his (very splashy) bath last night. He was really carrying on!

Dude

Calli & Calvin got Zach this cute hat on their trip to the Bahamas over Christmas.

I love to cook???

Well, maybe I don't love to cook. Recently I have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I do love to bake, however, and have been going a little nuts lately. Calvin is loving it. I'm sure it's really helping our efforts to be healthy...

Back to the subject of cooking, I have been really adventurous the past few weeks. (I use the term "adventurous" rather loosely). I'm trying all sorts of new recipes. I even found myself watching the food network.... I must confess that I am not the perfect little housewife that has a beautiful well balanced meal on the table at 6 every night. Honestly, I usually dread the idea of making dinner every night. In fact, sometimes on those days when I really don't feel like cooking, I get a little testy when Cal comes home and simply asks what's for dinner. (sorry Cal).

And then something happened. I suddenly enjoy cooking. Maybe I've finally come to a realization of how many meals I will be responsible for in the future (I might as well enjoy myself). I don't know. But whatever the cause, I'm gonna run with it!
