Words...and other such nonsense

Zack said his first word. I mean, other than:
Mama=me
Dada=Todd
Wawa=water?
and
Lala=Delilah? I'm really not sure about that one, though.

Anyway, he now says....drum roll please....CHEESE! Yes, out of all the words in the world he likes to say the word "cheese" the best. And he's pretty good at it too. And it's yummy.

In other news, Todd and I had our three year anniversary! Wow. Three years. I was going to do the whole typical Mormon post and put a picture of us when we were just married, and a new one of us and Zack, but I don't have a recent family pic and our marriage ones are somewhere I can't remember so this will just have to work. We actually did celebrate it pretty well this year. Todd got a sitter and we went out to eat. (Thanks Maryann!) Then that weekend we dropped Zacky off at the cousins and went to Branson all alone. It was pretty fun, but to be honest, I like a crowd. So anyone want to go to Branson with us sometime soon? We were thinking Halloween time would be awesome. But thank you Mike and Chrissy for taking Zack over night! We LOVE you!

Delilah is doing good. Besides driving me nuts, she has attacked Todd's face, pounced on Zack multiple times (with out her claws, of course), and tried to climb up my leg *ouch*. But we love her anyway.

Must recommend a book. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is SUCH a good book. Super easy to read, but gives you tons to ponder. Read it. Then call me. ;)

pictures and question

Just have to post this pic for Ellen.And these ones of MarleyAnd I lost our video camera. I know it's in the house somewhere, but since my manic cleaning spree I can't find it anywhere. Any ideas on where I stuffed it?

You are nnnnever going to believe this!

But, Zack and our new ketty Delilah are playing together! Not just the Zack pulls her tail game, but they are both playing with a basketball. Zack throws it, Delilah kicks it with her paw and they both chase it. It's like she's my real second child who I get to stick in a room and close the door when I'm sick of her. That rocks!

In other news, Todd is still liking his job and studying for the GMAT. I'm taking my last class online this fall and then will be graduated with my BS...finally. Zack is learning a new skill practically everyday. He is still not that interested in walking by himself, but if you give him just one of your fingers he's pretty fast. I think he's just scared. Other than that, not much going on here. Update more later!

Yes Sir!

For the last two weeks I've been in Atlanta visiting my sister...and I fell in love. With IVY! She is really the cutest little girl I have ever seen. (apart from my other nieces, or course:) Really though, it was so fun to have girlie time with my sister. We got our nails done (twice!), got pedicures, went shopping, and went out to eat. And all of that was just the SECOND day of visiting her. She owns a daycare so we would just drop the kiddos off and have fun. No, we worked our little bums off most of the time taking care of kids or getting ready for her little preschool to open, but even that felt like playing to me.

And some sad/happy news. Maci didn't work out because she kept pawing at Zack and hissing at him when he tried to play with her. I say pawed bc she was declawed. I swear I had no idea it was so horrible when I did that to her. Anyway, my sister collects/breeds ragdoll cats so she gave me one of hers! The one I have has a little mark on it that makes her "imperfect" so she is not show quality which is fine with me bc I only want to love her and maybe breed her. And ragdolls are super nice and only love on people, so she should be fine with Zack. Ivy has also broken her in pretty well.

Here are some pictures for my sister that I took of Ivybug. And one of the new addition. Let me introduce: Delilah. Her baby blue eyes and pretty color make her a beautiful kitty!
