January 28th.... Zach is 12 !!!!

I'm getting old! I know this because I have found a couple gray hairs in my dark brown hair. I know this because I get worn out from an hour of shopping in Costco. I know this because my body aches if I go up and down our stairs a couple times more than normal. I also know this because my kids are growing up and up and up! My oldest turned 12 and I remember his birth like it were yesterday! He is ready for Jr high and football and go carts.... no more Thomas the tank engine, Veggie tales or training wheels! It really does go to fast! Now that I have had my "mommy" moment, I will say that I am very proud of the young man that Zach is becoming though! He is such a great kid, a huge help to mom and a blessing to our family. We celebrated his birthday late with daddy home. He chose a football theme for his cake etc.... ( shock) He got his first pair of football cleats, a bunch of Eagles stuff, a few games, legos, some money.... I think he had a nice time! Zach will be starting piano lessons with Ethan in a week.... they are both excited about it. He is trying to be patient about waiting to start football. He really wants to play! He also wants golf lessons this summer. He enjoys youth group at our local church as well. He has taken to the kitchen recently also.... becoming quite the little baker! I haven't minded this one bit! Happy Birthday Zachy Man!
