This is it...really...

I PROMISE this is the last birthday post. But, I have to post pictures for my parents to see the awesome birthday cake I made. I say awesome because it really was not that cool...just if you knew where I started with my cooking skills a couple years ago (remember Heather and Rachel? I couldn't even brown meat...) then you would know to be impressed.

It's a basketball...in case you can't tell. And yes, I had to look up what the lines look like.:)

Skyping with Grandma in Brasil.

Marley watching Zack make a HUGE mess and deciding not to marry him, after all.


Zack thinking "where did my food go?"

Then clapping because he finished it all.

The floor after the cake was demolished. Oh, and Todd's hobbit feet.

I'm getting cheap

Instead of spending 200 dollars for Zack's one-year-old pictures, I took some myself. That's why we have a $500 camera, right? And I don't think they turned out that bad. And I got exactly what I wanted for free! Now we need family pictures. Anyone in the NW Arkansas area available?

Some of these pictures are the same, just one is in color and the other is b&w. Let me know what you think. :)

Happy Birthday Zackary!

I really can NOT believe a year has passed! And I can't believe Zackary was ever this small/skinny. But I have to say, babies get better with age so I'm not that sad he is older. Tonight we will celebrate his real birthday with just us and a couple friends (and hopefully Grandma Jackson on Skype). Happy Birthday, baby boy! We love you!

Here are pictures of Zack's birthday party we had last weekend. It was so fun and super easy to plan. We had a sports theme since Zack has an obsession with balls, and we had it at the splash park. Thank you everyone who came!Mom and Dad after the party. They ARE getting old!

better late than never...

I'm finally posting pictures of our trip to Utah! We went to Todd's family reunion there and had so much fun. Zack has a couple second cousins that are the same age as him: Jaxon and Cannon. They were so cute together! I have NO idea how I managed to get zero pictures of Todd's brother and sisters at this reunion, but I did. Am I not amazing?

Zack and Cannon "playing"
Below: Todd and Zack's model pictures. hehe.

Jenny, Todd's cousin, and Cannon's mommy. She is so cute.

We celebrated 4th of July there, too. It was fun to see Zacky pointing at all the fireworks and laughing. Zack took a special liking to Todd's brother, Cam. After not wanting to go to anyone else the entire week, he went straight to him and just loved on him.
