First Communion

This past weekend Zach made his First Communion.  This is something that he has worked for the past two years.  He had to learn 5 prayers, had 2 retreats with Nuns and lots and lots of practice.  But he made it through it all and made us so proud on Saturday.  Here is my announcement I made for him and a few pictures from the night.

the original had the information about the church..

Zach and his Godparents

This one is special to me because Shelly is one of my older cousin's who was always like a big sister to me since they lived down the street from me.  Well when she pregnant with Blake she asked me to be his Godmother, I was just 20 years old and I thought that was so special that she asked me to be his Godmother.  So I always knew when I had a baby she was going to be their Godmother and so when Zach was Baptised I got a picture of the 4 of us so I knew I wanted a new one.

Blake is so cute!  He loves the fact his is a head taller than me.. everyone is taller than me!!

Zach and his DziaDzia and Grandma

Our family



After the service (and photos) it was on to Rudy's for some yummy BBQ and some Lindy's cake!!

We are so proud of Zachary and so happy we were able to share this special time with our family.. I'm sure there was one in Heaven with a front row seat beaming from ear to ear.

Spring Break - day one fishing

Can you believe week befor last was Spring Break???  Where has this school year gone?  Zach ended up going to daycare Monday through Wednesday then Tim was able to take off Thursday and Friday so he was with him.  I had a project at work so I didn't get to get off until Friday but it worked out well.   Thursday Brenden came to the house and stay with us until Sunday.. Tim and I wanted to get a way but we weren't sure where to go we looked at Austin, San Antonio and Dallas but decided to go and hang out with our friends in Palestine.  We woke up early Friday morning and set out for our trip.  We got there early we went by our friend's house and all decided we were going to go fishing with the kids.  So the guys went first so they could catch some perch so we would be set when we came fishing.  The kids had a good time playing out by the pond and of coarse doing a little fishing.. Alan was the only one lucky enough to get anything.. oh well it was good to hang out with them!
