A trip to the Apple Orchard

Zachary was so excited that he kept getting a head of us, so this is the only picture I got of him.

Zoey's first pick!!

Zoey had to carry her own bag of apples, she wouldn't share with Zach.

Zoey testing the apples on the way home.

We went to a local orchard today to pick peaches and apples. The kids had a blast!! Here are a few pictures.

First Day of 2nd Grade

Zach was not happy that I wanted to take a picture so he gave me the fakest smile ever!!

Getting out of the car at school.

Well, another year has passed and Zachary started 2nd grade this week. Where did the time go? Here are some pixs from his first day.

Kite Flying

I am really behind on blogging so here is some pixs of the kids flying kites over 4th of July weekend. They had so much fun. This is the first time Zach has flown a kite, because in Arizona it was either to hot or way to windy, so he had a blast.

"Make a Wish"

As most of you know already Zachary has been granted a wish from the "Make a Wish" Foundation. As soon as we know how everything turned out we will let everyone know. Here is a picture of him with his wish granters!!

Another trip to the Farm

Zoey used to be afraid of the goats and now she is pushing them around.

Here she is hearding the goats again.

Loves for the goat!

Feeding the baby goat with a baby bottle, and what you don't see is after she fed the goat she decided she needed to try the bottle as well! YUCK!!!!!

Check Zoey out just after the 1 minute mark, very funny!!!

4th of July!!

Waiting for Fireworks!


Me and the kids!

Zoey was dancing!

Time for a snack!

Running and playing in the grass with Zach!

Daddy and the kids, Zoey didn't want to sit for the photo, she was to busy playing!

Zoey making faces at me!

Fireworks started and Zoey didn't want to look at them!

Travis and Zach enjoying the show!

Zoey is not asleep, she is just still refusing to watch the fireworks!

She decided to sneak a peek!

This was the best 4th of July that we have every had! We had a great dinner, and then headed out to watch the fireworks. We got there a hour and a half early to make sure that we had a good seat. The weather couldn't have been better, it was about 75 degrees with a little breeze, the kids were playing and laying on the blankets we brought, just hanging out. It was great!!! I hope everyone had as great of a 4th as we did!!

Water Park

They had a great little play area for the little kids. Zoey had a blast. She was a little more daring than we would have liked her to be though.


Zach had a blast on the slides, and can you believe it Grandma and Aunt Donna, he didn't get kicked off once! HA HA


This was another part of the water park that just had water spraying everywhere. At the top of this structure there was a huge bucket that would fill with water, and every five minutes it would tip over and the water would come crashing down. The kids loved it!

This is when the bucket had tipped over. Zach is in there somewhere.

Zoey finally got pooped out.

We were all just floating in the "Lazy River" and Zoey got so comfy that she fell asleep. I was kinda in an awkward position but I didn't want to wake her. So after a while of floating Travis took her and held her at the table. (The above picture)

The bucket of water came crashing down!!

Zach on the "Lilly Pads"

We were planning on going to the big water park, but it was suppose to rain through out the day and we didn't want them to close the park due to the rain, so we chose to go to an indoor water park instead.
