Hello family and friends!!!
We are excited to share our past year
w/ you all. It has been a wonderful year ...we are so blessed and
thankful! We got to travel lots..went to MI, Bozeman a few times,
Utah, WY and even MI again! I love taking our children places. They
learn so much being able to work as a family and travel. We also have
been involved in sports and weight training! We love spending a lot
of time doing things with the church. Ladies Advance, Mens Peaks,
Family camp and several other happenings! And yes we are expecting
Zech baby #5 in May, we are so excited that we are being blessed w/
another bundle! The kids are very excited and love talking about the
new baby and everything that goes along with it. We cannot wait to
see, boy or girl....blue eyes or brown!!! I will go thru each child
and some accomplishments and memorable moments thru 2012!
Lets start w/ the smallest! Cullen
Warren is such a fun boy! He looks a lot like his daddy and is a
pesty fella just like Z is! He has slept thru the night in his own
crib since 10 months old and goes to bed w/o a peep most nights. He
loves food...anyone's food. He is like a puppy, will go around and
say “bite, bite” and how can anyone say no to him....you can't!
Cullen is very friendly and will have strangers falling in love with
him. We are often told, while out and about, how sweet he is, and how
they were entertained by him during dinner, bball game ect....haha!
He likes to say: applesauce, bebe (belly), moot (smootch), Es Pease
(yes please), Hulk mash, and he always responds (almost always) yes
mom or yes dad when he is asked too!
Next up is Cullen's Irish Twin....MYRA!
This girl is so sassy and smart! She loves superheros just like her
brother and cousins. She pretends to be Iron Man or Hulk, and can
quote parts of the movie, which is funny to hear a 2yo girl say “Hulk
SMASH” or “Ant...Boot!”. Myra does gymnastics 1x a week and has
a lot of energy for her class...its a good thing either Z or I do it
w/ her...or she would run the show I am certain! Myra potty trained
shortly after 2yo and then learned to climb out of the crib! She
currently shares a bed (full size) w/ big sissy Chloie....they love
to snuggle!
Tyler oh, my sweet blue eyed boy! Tyler
is doing home preschool w/ me! We took a long break while I had a
rough start to this pregnancy, but we are getting back into the swing
of things. He loves to learn and play superheros. His best friend is
his cousin Jackson. They miss each other after just 2 days of being
separated! Tyler is also in gymnastics and is doing very well! He is
athletic and has so much fun doing his class. We are in the process
of finding out why he is having asthma problems. We know for sure he
is allergic to cats, dogs and mold. We don't use his inhaler much
maybe 1 or 2x/month...but he has breathing issues sometimes up to 3x
a week. So we are trying to find out whats causing everything and to
fix it naturally not mask w/ drugs... I can't believe he will be
starting school in Aug 2013!!!
Our Chloie girl is going to be 9 on
12/12/12!!! I cant believe it! This sweet girl is in the 3rd
grade and doing well. She plays softball in the spring, gymnastics in
the fall and basketball in the winter! Busy girl and so athletic! She
has done very well w/ improvement in all the sports she has learned.
She loves to write, draw and play with her siblings, she is such a
great big sister. Also she is learning to help me around the home
more, she cleans...wants to cook and helps take care of the littles.
She is becoming so responsible, growing up in a big family is
challenge but so rewarding when you learn to work as a team....I love
what the kids are learning!
As for Z and I, Z was a personal
trainer most of the year and recently decided to stop training and
spend more time w/ the family...when I was sick he ran the ship plus
worked his job. He truly is amazing and we are lucky to have him!
Training is his passion, so one day he will be training again! We
still train at home, Z way more than I. I have had a wonderful year
of growing and learning as a Christian and as a mother! I am so
thankful for the blessings and the road that we have taken ....I am
really trying to educate those around Great Falls on the wonderful
benefit of Essential Oils. Also teaching Tyler preschool and
maintaining our home. I am so thankful to have such wonderful, loving
and Fun kids. I love each day with them.
Well that is our year in a nutshell on
how everyone is doing! We are on Facebook and have a blog that I
update occasional. Zech Crew and Oils too! On Blogger is where you
can find us! We hope your year has been as blessed as ours! We miss a
lot of you who are far away from us and cant wait to visit again!
Love~
Zac, Melissa, Chloie, Tyler, Cullen,
Myra and new baby Zech!
