Somersaults!!!

As most of you know - Zachio has been enjoying gymnastics throughout the spring. Last week was his "show-day" - which really meant all of the kids brought their parents onto the mat. Zachio has mastered somersaults, monkey jumps (cartwheels), donkey kicks (hand stands) and the balance beam! He gets better every class - it is really amazing to see! Unfortunately, my camera battery died 2 minutes after the show started. So I don't have that many pictures to share - but atleast there is this action sequence. And Yes that is a Celtics shirt he is wearing!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Just wanted to wish all the mothers out there a happy moma's day! Here are your favorite midwest boys!

The Best Good Friday!

Well Spring has finally shown itself in central Illinois. Z got his first 2 wheel bike when Bub and Zade were visiting. So we have been ripping up the Myra Ridge sidewalks and bikepaths. Added in a visit to the humane society, a fire truck, a few hundred slide rides and we had an excellent weekend.

So a lot happens in a month!

A very short list of our adventures over the last month. Zachio and Daddio went to our first (of hopefully many Illini basketball games) accompanied by Z's first face paint (Crazy Uncle Joe watch out) and cotton candy. And Bub and Zade came for there 354th visit since thier favorite son turned down the job at Harvard medical school to take a job at the University of Illinois. Brett Favre retired, the sub-prime credit crunch continued, Zachio went to the dentist, got his first big boy bike (pictures will be coming soon), and the University forgot to take into the inceasing cost of gas when compiling their utility bill (a 117 Million dollar oopsie!).

Hopefully my next post won't be in April!

Happy Valentine's Day to those I love!

Zachio is passing out his first valentine day cards at school today! Hopefully Zachio is making out better than me - so far I have gotten a pencil, coffee cake (rasberry), rice krispy treats and the flu for valentine's!!

Hugs and Kisses to everyone!

Happy 100th Day!

Today was Zachio's hundredth day at school. They had a party at school and he brought a bag of 100 things to school! (My junk draw is very empty at the moment!)

While getting dressed this morning, Zachio told me he wanted to wear a pretty shirt to impress his teacher, Ms. E! 3.5 years old and already dressing to impress the ladies!!

Happy B-day Cousin Hub!

In honor of Zachio's cousin Hub birthday Zachio decided to wear a cupcake! Did I mention that I turned 30 last week? Did I mention college students offer me their seat on the bus now!

Here is a picture of Zachio and I opening a present! =) (Don't worry thats Big Zade - not me!! )

This is what Zachio and I are going to be looking like this weekend. It is suppose to be -15 with the wind chill!
