"I'm Ziggy-Zoney. I am Two"

Arg, I don't know why, but blogger won't let me upload pictures, and I have some really great ones from Zion's second birthday.

Zion is two, and it is so hard to believe. I mean really? I have a two year old and a 3 1/2 year old? Time flies. Zion was so great on his birthday. Juddah showed him the proper way to put candles on his cake. There were 24 candles on Zions cake, including a big number two candle. The only thing was, we were at a park, and it was so windy, that none of the candles stood lit very long, no matter how hard we tried.

Zions birthday was full of parks, cake, balloons, new clothes, and fun toys. It was a perfect two-year-old kind of day.

Happy Birthday Zion. I hope I can put some pictures of you up tomorrow. You are such a sweet, wild, smart, wonderfully full of adventure and laughter kind of boy. It has been so much fun to get to know you and your funny little personality. You are larger than life, and I hope you always stay that way. Hip- hip Horray for being two! (this is only a week late, so in Mommy time, I think I am doing pretty good!!)

I am at my sister Heathers house, and thought I would load some pictures she took of my boys while she watched them one day. Hope you enjoy them!

Thanks Wendy

It came on Monday. Can't type, must keep reading!

Bumble Bees and Bruises

Look what Juddah found in the backyard! A bumble bee! The bee was just dead, laying right in the grass. Juddah was very concerned for this big bee.


We put the bee into a little cup so we could look at it closely. We were surprised at how furry the bee was. After we were done looking at the bee we put it in our compost pile so nobody would step on it. Someone told me bees can sting even when they are dead.


The other night, while at the park, Zion was acting very independent. He would say "I need to Ruuuunnn!" and would take off down the field. Finally I called to him "Zion come back and play with Mom and Juddah, or we have to go home." So Zion came running back to us at full speed. The only problem was he wasn't watching where he was going, and ran right into bar that was head height. He fell flat on hit back with a big thud. He cried a cried. I felt so bad for the wild little guy. Just goes to show, you should always play by mom, and not wander off! As we walked home he kept saying "I knocked myself out mom. I knocked myself out right here."


When we got home he had a bruise starting to show up on his forehead. It didn't show up in these pictures, but I thought it was funny how happy he was to have his picture taken, even right after he "knocked himself out."
