Happy 5th Birthday Zacary!

This photo was taken in Zac's classroom this afternoon when Grandma Gail, Grandma Pam and I took in cupcakes to celebrate his birthday with all of his friends from school!

Zacary: It was five years ago today that we brought you home from the hospital and embarked a brand new journey that was your life!

I cannot believe that you are five years old already! We are so very proud of the boy you have grown to be and all of the wonderful experiences you've brought into our lives. You are one of the funniest five year old boys that I know! You already unique in so many amazing ways.

You make everyone around you laugh each and every day and you get such a joy out of bringing laughter to others. You are so very smart and you learn new things so fast that sometimes we feel more like we are chatting with a fifteen year old! You have unending energy that makes those around you just stop and smile.

I couldn't even begin to count how many people comment daily on how adorable you are and of course we think they are spot on! You are willing to try all new things with such unending enthusiasm and excitement. You are a natural born leader and we can't wait to see what the future holds for you!

Your Daddy and I are so very proud of you and love you so very much!

Tyler moves to a toddler bed...

Tyler has been getting in and out of his crib for a while now. What's funny though is, after his initial escape, he never get out anymore so we decided to just leave things alone! It was finally time to give it a try. On Sunday, Tom converted his crib to the first step of the toddler bed and he's done great! He still doesn't get out of it! We moved Zac into his big boy bed when he was just 2 and he never got out of it until he was about 3 and half! Brothers!

The best caramel Easter Egg EVER!

Tyler thoroughly enjoyed a Cadbury Caramel Easter Egg as you can see in the following shots. And Mommy enjoyed cleaning him up!

Finally took the leap!

We finally got in the pool that we have been working on and looking out the windows at all winter long! April 2nd Zac started us off by sitting down on the first step with his clothes on! I think he was trying to tell us something! So we went ahead and got their suits on and let them try it even though the water temperature was only 68 degrees!

I couldn't let them have all the fun!

It was too cold for Tom though!
