Happy 16th Birthday, Zach!!

Today Zachary turned 16...yes, you read it right, 16!  I am having a hard time comprehending it myself!  He is now legal age to drive and get a job, he's a Junior in High School and has a girlfriend that is older than him...where did my little boy go??    Unfortunately, that little boy is gone, but I can look at Zach and see how he is growing, maturing, and becoming a young man that I can truly say I am proud of!!  He has a great personality, likable by everyone, handsome and just an all-around good guy!  He is also very smart and in the National Spanish Honor Society and about to be inducted into the National Honor Society!! But one of the most important things about Zach is that he truly loves God, loves living for God, and loves being involved in everything to do at church for God; this is what I am most proud of!!  Yet I look forward to what the future will hold for him.  I truly believe that God has placed a calling on Zach's life and I know that if he continues to put God first in his life, there is truly no telling what he could do!!  I can't wait to see what God has planned for him...I just hope I'm along for the ride because it's going to be awesome!  I love you Zach with all my heart....Happy 16th Birthday, Sweetie!!

Fun times with Zane!

Zane is always ready for fun!  Whether it is outside or in the bathtub, he wants to be playing!  Of course, at his age, he should be.  I know that if I ever want a laugh, it's with Zane that I will get it!  I love to watch him being a kid; he's so good at it!  I was just thinking about how much he's growing and how I have to cherish each and every moment that God blesses me with...because that's just what it is, a blessing!!  Well, gotta run. I'm going to play with Zane and have fun!

A new "friend" for Zach...

A lot of things are changing for Zach as he grows up, including a new "friend".  Her name is Amber and she is a very sweet girl that visited our church with another friend!  Zach and Amber really seemed to 'click' and that "friendship" has really grown.  In fact, this new "friend" has consumed a lot of his thoughts and time.  Let's just say it's a good thing we have unlimited texting or we would be shelling out a lot of money!  Now he's looking forward to turning 16 since his Dad said he could group date at that time.  Hmmmm...wonder who his first date will be??    

Happy 9th Birthday, Zane!!

 Today is my sweet little guy, Zane's 9th birthday!  I really can't believe that he actually turned 9 today!  He is growing up so fast and it just blows my mind.  When I look at him I still see my little tender-hearted boy that will always be my baby!  But I can also see a maturing little guy that loves to have fun and be ornery all at the same time!  The baby part of him still loves to cuddle up to me and every so often will let me still rock him...of course, he would just die if he knew I was letting the whole world know that!  Yet the little guy part of him loves to pull a prank and always finds time to pester his big brother, Zach!  He is just this amazing, smart, funny, handsome, sweet little guy that I am so thankful that God placed in my life and for giving me the privilege of being his Mom!  I only pray that I can lead him in the path and teach him the way to please God all the days of his life!  I know that with God on his side, there is no telling what he could accomplish in life...he just has that type of personality!  I just hope that I get to be with him on his journey in life because I know it will be a blast!  I love you Zane with all my heart....Happy 9th birthday, Sweetie!
