Zac survived his first surgery!

Zac had his surgery on Friday to remove the tumor on his neck. I've been meaning to update everyone, sorry it took a few days, but HE'S DOING GREAT!!! I forgot to bring my camera to the hospital so I took these a couple days ago at home. He's been so tuff and not complaining about the incision.

He was so sweet at the hospital, all the nurses couldn't believe how brave he was. We were lucky to have the same nurse that helped us when he had his MRI and she lets him play with her name badge, and if you know Zac you know he loves work badges almost as much as he loves keys!

WE'RE HOME!!!

Now back to the real world!
(On the way to the airport to go back to Dallas) I felt the same way at the end of our vacation.

Family Photos

My little brother came in from Detroit just a couple days before we went back to Dallas and since it was the first time all four of my mom's kids were together in like 6 years, she wanted us to take a family picture. (She had her neighbor take some more "professional" ones these are just some snap shots from my camera.) I decided to try to get a cute family photo of me and Jamie and the kids while we were at it, but Zac was not wanting to cooperate! (I hope her neighbor got some better ones than we did!)


This picture (above) totally gave me a flashback of this picture(below) ohhh, Zac...

$2 Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point

For August Thanksgiving point did $2 tuesdays. So the first Tuesday we were in town we went to the Dinosaur museum

The second Tuesday we went to the farm. The kids seemed to enjoy the farm a lot more especially the pony rides!










Kids enjoying my mom's waterfall

The next week we stayed at my mom's house and of course the kids favorite thing was the waterfall in the backyard! (what is it with Utah people and waterfalls in their yards?)




Landon LOVED his cousin Ella's house

Landon, still playing the game Nate taught him at the river by the campfire!!! (this time we were in Kristen's backyard though!)

Landon's favorite toy of Ella's was definately her Dora powerwheels!

Campfire night with Jamie's fam

The first weekend we were in Utah, we stayed at Jamie's sister Kristen's house. Kristen planned a fun night up in the canyon with their other sis Melanie.
First we had to stop and get marshmellows, hotdogs, Cheetos, etc. all the campfire food essentials. Zac and Ella got to drive the shopping cart! (looks like Zacs taken over both steering wheels- sorry Ella)



Eating yummy food at the campfire. There's nothin better than smores and hotdogs!




gorgeous ladies!
Mel and Nate taught the kids a fun game by the river- throwing pebbles. Landon decided to pick up a rock almost as big as he is!!! Wow Landon, take it easy!

Of course everyone needed baths before bedtime cuz campfire nights are DIRTY!

This video is just toooo cute! I love how these two interact and teach each other things and make each other laugh! I already miss you guys!

On our way to Utah!

On our way to Utah we had a layover in Denver and the boys were so excited to run around upstairs and kept wanting to go on the moving walk way. I guess all the running around got Zac tired, he fell asleep on the plane as soon as we took off! Landon was still full of energy cuz he slept on the 1st flight from Dallas to Denver.

A FEW PICS FROM GRANDMA'S HOUSE IN UTAH...more to come when we get home

We've been in Utah for a week visiting family and friends and don't come home till next week. So I haven't been blogging cuz although I've taken a lot of pictures, I didn't bring my chord to connect my camera to my mom's computer. So today I decided to take pictures with my mom's camera so I could upload them!

My sister is in town from Reno with her kids and Zac has been having a blast playing with her 4 year old Will. (They are both OBSESSED with cars!)

Zac LOVES Grandmas whirlpool tub. He gets sooo excited when we turn on the bubbles and he was even more excited to have his cousin Will to play with.

(he's more fun than Landon cuz he doesn't cry when Zac splashes him!)



Landon descovered a fun game at lunch today... stick the hotdogs inside the plastic flute. But then he was upset that he couldn't get them out!
