Oh what little things can do!

The other day while I was starting dinner Zack was squealing with delight and laughing and I went over to see what it was and it was the connector toys. Just two of the links, he keep grabbing them and they kept rolling. He was having a blast.
Oh what little thing can entertain a baby.

Piano Buddies

One of the things I love about my dear husband is his love of music and his talents. He is very proficient on the piano and clarinet. Both Ben and I play the piano although Ben plays so much better then I do. Lately, Zack has shown a real interest in "playing the piano." He plays away and is quite proud and happy about it. (He does use enough strength to make them strike the strings on the piano.) What tickles me so much is that Zack even looks at the music when he "playing" the piano. Now lets hope he gets Ben's music ability rather then mine.

I'm In Love -- 'nuff Said!

The smile that wins my heart every single time. I am so blessed and grateful that Heavenly Father sent my Ben to Tulsa so that we could meet, fall in love and create this precious boy together. He is truly a happy, funny little guy.


Wearing my old Future Missionary tag. I hope and pray that we can instill in him a deep love of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a sincere desire to serve the Lord by serving a mission!


His first biter biscuit! Yummy! Surprisingly he didn't make the mess I was forewarned about. However, we were not so lucky his 2nd time around.



What can I say, for a fella who's vocabulary is limited to mama, dada, baba and ear piercing squeals of delight, and other babblings, he sure has an way of expressing himself.

Fever and a Runny Nose

My Poor Little Man

I've been so incredibly blessed with a healthy baby, even with all the various flues and colds flying around this area. But today, those teeth finally did him in. He has a runny nose, red eyes and an elevated temp of 101.5. I didn't know why my normally extremely happy boy was so cranky and so clingy but then realized he felt warm! The picture is right after I put him down for a nap. I decided to change him out of his blue jean overalls and put on some warm, comfy jammies. I put him down and he rolled from side to side and then was scooting to grab his favorite monkey "Eddie." I picked Eddie up, tucked him into the corner Zacky always sleeps in and he rolled over to his tummy, put his arm around Eddie and immediately fell asleep.
