My sweet little Zachary just turned 4. We start the month of January out with three family birthdays in a row, my niece Isabella, Poppa, then Zack's. He knows the birthdays and after Christmas kept saying, "It going be Bella's birthday, then Poppa's birthday, thennnnnn going be MY birthday!"Zack has a heart of gold. He is the sweetest kid. He will always come up to me and hug my legs and tell me, "My love you soooo much! You are the bestest Mommy ev-ah (ever)!" and then kisses me.
He is always sharing with and looking out for Mason. They are so funny to listen to when they talk and we are out of the room. He even let Mason help him open his birthday presents!
Zachary is super smart and he has the memory of an elephant. He can remember anything. He is learning how to read right now and we have been practicing site words, he only has to look at it once and he will forever remember it. He remembers all of the small details from family vacations too, ones we took forever ago and Victor and I can't even remember!
He loves Conner too. Naturally when you have an older sibling they are your idol. He loves playing sports and just being around his cool big brother.
He is also very shy and selective. He takes a while to warm up to people or give them any attention, but when he does Zack is your loyal bud for life.
A few of his favorite things right now are the Wii, puzzles, books, and cooking with Mom.
If you are a follower of our blog then you know Zack is our little gamer. He loves all things Mario. He was very excited about his birthday cake I made him, so much that he didn't want to eat it!
We did a few of Zack's favorite things and took him out to eat to his favorite restaurant. Later that night we had a small little party for him with Victor's sister Maudi and cousin Casey. Zack was thrilled and had a wonderful time on his special day.
Thanks everyone for cards, phone calls, presents, money, and well wishes.
Happy Birthday my little Zack-a-roo! We love you soooooooo much!
Like always, we had wonderful food!!! Then we all had to recover from all of the wonderful food we ate. (Diet starts January 1st right?). Millie and Chad taking a breather.
Ringing in the New Year with a few of those who matter most in our lives. Isn't Camille's baby belly so cute?!?!
Bear is always in heaven when my dad is around. He loves him more than anything.
It is pretty nice when your kids can't tell time (well Zack and Mace anyway). We rang in the New Year with the little ones around 9 pm. They had so much fun with their hats, whistle blowers, pops, and mini fireworks. 
All of the cousins had their sparkling cider and were ready for their New Year's toast. However, it was quickly forgotten when all of the pops and whistles were pulled out. So much fun to be a kid!
Thanks to everyone for such a great time and fabulous food! Happy New Year! 
Park City is full of fabulous snowshoeing trails it was difficult to choose. We will certainly have to make more trips so we can hit them all. Or at least that is what I will use as my excuse to getaway again. :)
My goodness, trying to get these three to pose for picture was pretty much impossible. They were so silly but having a wonderful time doing so.
Two years ago we had to take Conner to the ER to get Christmas Eve 
We played games after dinner and the boys were full of energy and so cute. Pictured below is Conner and cousin Casey.
Victor always reads the story of the birth of 
Then we have the annual tradition of Conner reading The Night Before Christmas to the little ones. They are so good and listen to his every word intently.
Christmas morning Conner dove right in but the little ones only wanted to play with a little M&M airplane that was in their sock! It took us a while to talk them into opening their presents!
We were all spoiled to death. However, as the years come and pass I know my family forgets the material items but will always remember our family
