Trick or Treat

Zach had a couple of friends go with him to trick or treat.. this was the third year we had Eric and Erin come over to go trick or treating with him.  We always pick up some Chick fil a so we can all eat a bite and then it is off to see how much candy they can get in their bags. 

 

Gram-maw and Dzia Dzia came to see us too and we got to give Gram-maw a cake, card and gift for her birthday.

 

Zach's party with the family

We ended up having a small party for Zach on Friday night since we planned a sleepover for his friend party.. so we did BW3 and cupcakes from Frost for dessert.  We went ahead and let him also open his big gift from us so that he could play with it on his way up to the surprise on his birthday morning plus we figured it would be easier to put up with out all his friends wanting to play on it.  We had a good time with the family and Zach ways proud of all of his gifts.

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

Zach and Granny and Paw-Paw (aka.. my DziaDzia and Grandma)

Zach and Brenden

Nolan, Travis, Zachary and Trevor - These boys are cousins born within 6 months of each other... aren't they cute.. This weekend coming up will be Nolan's First Communion.

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.

New baby calf

Last Friday my parents got a new little baby.. baby calf that is..

Isn't she cute?  We thought she was black until I got her from the side and she was in the sunlight then we saw that she was a pretty chocolate color.

Look how silky that hair looks!

Mommy and baby.. so sweet how they take care of their babies!  She wouldn't let us get close to her and if she tried she would tell her about it.

We can't go to the farm and not help Dzia Dzia according to Zachary.. aka his number one helper.. poor Gram-maw!  He will tell her she is it when he is not there.. Zach loves sticks and they needed some sticks moved to the burn pile so he helped them out.

and of coarse he had to put them in the fire.. don't worry we watched him and didn't let him get to close to the fire..

Can you guess what Zach stepped in.....

Do you think Zach loves his Dzia Dzia?

Dzia Dzia working hard..

I love the sun setting from there..

The neighbor across the street has a dog that will come over and see mom & dad well this time he brought over his new little brother.. Zach loved playing with the both of them.

It was a fun time.  Zach enjoyed getting to see the new baby and so did I along with getting to spend some time with DziaDzia and Gram-maw.

Sorry I've been busy!

Can you believe it is the last day of June already.. where has this month gone?  We have been busy with life in general these days and well I haven't taken a bunch of pictures.  I'm sorry I haven't blogged in two weeks (boy that is hard to believe) but I back and will try to do better!

Last Friday Deb, Zach and I had our annual Aunt Deb, Zach and mom day because it has been a million degrees outside I felt that the beach might not be the best place to go.. so we decided lunch and a movie might be better.  We went to lunch with my friend Donna who I have known since I was 18 we have worked together at 3 different companies and she has always been a great friend well when HighMount sold part of their properties to Linn, Donna got to work with Deb.. but Donna has since left Linn and so we decided we should meet her for lunch so we could talk and gossip..plus her birthday is today (6/30) so we thought we would celebrate that too!  We had a great lunch enjoyed getting to see her.  After we took her back to work it was off to the Movies!  We saw Cars 2..all I can say is the first one was better and to me they should have left it with that.. but the new one does have some good parts.  So we were sitting there before the movie and deb text me and says Popcorn now or ice cream later.. we I couldn't finsh reading it and Zach was asking about popcorn.. so we got it and some drinks.. really you can't do a movie with out the popcorn.. even if we just ate lunch.. After the movie we were driving and Deb goes.. I still want ice cream.. hehe I go so do I!  so we ended up going to Marble Slab and getting ice cream.. it was so funny I was talking to Zach about what he was going to get and Deb goes cheesecake with butterfingers in a butterfinger cone.. I go are you kidding.. that is what I was going to get.. I never thought she would have picked what I did!  Oh boy was it GOOD!  We then took her to HEB and she got stuff for dinner then we took her home and Zach and I went home too.  Mom had called later that night and said that her and dad were going to come by to bring some shorts she had bought for Zachary.  I told them that if they were going to the country Saturday that we would go with them.  I wanted to see how the fire damaged the stuff around them.

Tim had went to Crockett for his parents small aniversary party some friends gave them at the hospital afterwards he went to the deer lease to put some corn in the feeders and do a few other things around there and then Sunday he went back to Crockett to see his mom again.  Please continue to keep her in your prayers.

Saturday morning mom called and said that they were going to the country and that they were leaving the house so Zach and I got up and got dressed so we would be ready for them.  We got up there and all I can say is wow.  The way the fire jumped was amazing.  you would see green and then burn.. green and then burn... I wish I would have gotten some pictures but we didn't get a chance to stop.  As we were driving around we did find something pretty cool..

Aren't they cute!

After we got lunch and the stuff we needed Dad had some work that needed to be done.  He realized quickly that he had a little helper..

 

He worked hard with dad.. where ever dad was Zach was right behind him wanting to help.

On our way home Zach knocked out!  He just worned his self out working so hard with his Dzia Dzia!  We got home and hung out watching movies.

Sunday morning we woke up late and then went shopping and got stuff to make a good supper and some desserts for Tim when he got home. 

It was a great week with my little boy!

Car Show and the Richmond Girls dance at the Dogwood fest..

Weekend before last we went up to Crockett to see Tim mom (please keep praying for her) and get my father in law out of the house.  So he has been talking about the car show they have during the dogwood fest in Palestine.  So Tim, Zach and I got up there early and Zach and I took his dad off while Tim stayed and took care of his mom.  I wasn't sure how long we would be up there but I figured any time would be good for him.  So we got there early enough that we got to see the parade and well I had talked my parents into coming up with their car the '38 Chevy.. When we got there the parade was just starting they had all kinds of small floats and lots of cars.

Dad's car

Zachary was super excited when Gram-maw motioned for him to come and get in the car.. she said he waved to everyone as he went by.

After the parade we went over to where they had the car show and met up with mom, dad, and Zachary.  The Richmonds minus Alan were already there and hanging out with my mom and Zach.  We talked to them a bit and then they had to walk over to where the girls were going to dance so they walked over and the rest of us checked out all of the cars.  This year there weren't a bunch of old cars there were more mustangs which were fun to look at also.  But from the old cars we did see I mostly got stuff like this..

Then it was on to watch the Richmond girls dance!  I love watching these girls!

It was a great day for all of us.. it was neat to see Zachary with his Paw-Paw and DziaDzia
