Today my baby boy was dedicated at First Baptist Church. Steve and Bethany are his gracious god-parents and Auntie Anna is the doting aunt. Love to all of them.

Hayley Helping in the Bathtub
Hayley helped Zac with a quick bath the other night. I am not sure who had more fun. Thanks Hayley for all the splashes and getting him clean!

Memorial Day 2009
"Do you want to go to the moon or to orbit?" When we were in trouble as kids this is what my grandpa Jules used to ask us. Of course he was always kidding and it got us laughing. He was so rarely ever mad at any of us.
Here is to the day to remember my grandfather. He was such a kind and gentle man. So patient and forgiving. He was so proud of all of us. I really loved how he taught Carlos so much about word working and being a handyman. When we named our first son CJ (Carlos Jules) we never knew how much CJ was going to be like his great-grandfather, my grandpa Jules. I miss him so much and will remember so many great things about him. Here's to you Gramps! Love ya and miss ya! Thanks for all that you did to make me who I am today. Here is a picture taken of CJ on this Memorial Day.
Another great memory of Memorial Day is from 1995! The day that Carlos and I announced to my family (at the Memorial Day BBQ) that we were officially dating. Small moment in history for the rest of you...kind of big moment for me (us)! Here is a picture of our latest (not so little) bundle of joy on the day he is 9-months old. My baby Zac.

Happy Birthday CJ
May 14, 2000 the day you were born AND Mother's Day. You came into this world so early in the morning. You gave us all quite a scare but you made it and you were so tiny. Just a little 6.9 lbs bundle of joy. Everyone said I was so lucky to have such a great gift on Mother's Day! I felt so blessed and alive with joy. You were such a great baby. Calm and so sweet. You have grown up so fast. Now as a 3rd grader you have grown into a sweet boy who loves sports, math and being around his cousins and friends. Now as a big brother you have shown us another part of how much you can love and give. Thank you so much and I love you so very much.

Mother's Day Weekend
What a busy weekend we had!
CJ had his first baseball game of the season. It ended in a tie, 2-2. The team played well. CJ played left field, right field, second base and shortstop during the6-inning-two-hour-game! (It was really not that bad.) The weather was gorgeous, the boys had a great time and it was great to catch up with (read gossip) with Allison and Bethany. As you can see baby Zac had his own way of passing the time. Faithful Blue Wildcat followers (Stevie’s grandparents) are also catching some sun and watching the game. If this weather holds it will be a great two months of baseball season. Let’s hear it for some more sunshine!
Saturday was another big day! We headed to Albany to visit my Aunt Vicki and two of her four kids, Britany and Bree. This was the first time they met Zac and they were sooooo happy! They just moved up from Medford and I am thrilled they are so much closer. I hope when school is out we can visit more often. On the other side of Albany lives Audrey and Kevin (OSU college friends) and their two beautiful boys. We had some great food, wonderful conversation and the boys all had fun together. Why is it that so much time always goes by in-between visits? It is a short trip down the road, we should make more time for more visits. Friends are so important!
Sunday, Mother’s Day. My husband and boys brought me breakfast in bed. They were so cute. CJ even was carrying Zac AND the ketchup bottle while Carlos carried a tray. I did enjoy the peace and quiet but I would have preferred breakfast at the table with my family. It was a little lonely in the bedroom eating breakfast by myself; though it was delicious. We hung out for a bit before we headed to my mom’s. I was amazed at all the texts, phone calls and posts wishing everyone a happy mother’s day. It was wonderful. Carlos went to a friend’s to split some wood from his downed tree and I hung out with the boys, my mom and sister. Such a great time. My mom always has something yummy cooking and to nibble on, CJ gets to do whatever he wants and my sister loves hanging with my baby. (She did change a dirty diaper…thanks!) I went over to help Carlos stack the wood and chat for a bit AND….ended up helping him split wood! Not a typical Mother’s Day thing to do, but it was fun in a weird sort of way. Hard work, really hard work. But it was nice to have some alone time with Carlos even though we were both gross and sweaty dirty. I do have a blister on each hand from swinging the ax and sledge hammer! HA! I think this will be a mother’s day like no other!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you!
