One Year!!!! Zachary James Reiher!

Zachary is one now! I can not believe how fast this year has gone by! He has grown and learned so much! It blows my mind how smart he is! He loves his Daddy and brother and sister. He loves to play with balls, trains, and mickey mouse! He still isnt sleeping through the night but thats okay. He loves to be outside! I leave our blinds up half way so he can look outside all day! When Daddy pulls up he gets very excited and pounds on the window! He can walk and talk a little bit. He says mama dada hi bye! I love watching him grow and learn! I love watching him play with his brother and his sister! They all get along so well! I am so grateful Zachary picked me to be his mommy! I love you Zachy man!

Elliana is growing up!

So Elliana has decided she is big enough for her to get her ears pierced. She chose her earings and everything! She was so brave! She did cry a little but then saw how beautiful the earings are and was fine! I let her pick out some earings to ear when she is done with her studs. But then at the grocery store she ended up loosing one earing. After rushing her back to the mail they told Craig he had to buy a new pair. So he did and so she now has rainbow hearts! She is doing great with them! She loves that she has her ears pierced! She has about 4 weeks left before we can change out her earings but she is okay with it! :) I had a blast with her and I am so glad she is my daughter! I love you Elliana!

11 months!

Crazy! I cant believe my Zachary is 11 months old! So much has happened! He said his first word "Daddy" and his second "Momma"! He has even taken his first steps! My baby is growing up so fast! He is so fun to have! I love his little attitude! He is like his mom and very set on things! When he wants something he wants it end of story! I have a feeling that is going to both his biggest strength and biggest weakness! He LOVES his brother and sister! He loves to play with them! His face lights up whenever he sees his daddy too! He loves to be outside and cant stand it when the kids are out there without him! I love my silly monkey and I am so grateful for him! I am so grateful for the journey it took to get here! I am so grateful that he chose me to be his mommy! I wouldnt trade it for anything! Love my calling as a mother! Zachary James 3-8-2013 Zachary James 4-6-2012

9 months and 5 years!

So my babies are growing up so fast! My little Zachary is almost 10 months old! He had his 9 month check up and weighed in at 20.92 lbs! And is 29.13 inches! This puts him in the 57% for weight and 78 for height. He is tall and skinny! But perfect and healthy! He is crawling around getting into everything. He is fearless! He is going all day long! He is giving me a run for my money that is for sure! I love how curious he is and how he wants to take on the world! His eyes just shine with excitement over everything!

Christmas 2012

Zachary celebrated his first Christmas season. It was filled with love and magic! I am so happy that it all went well and he had such a great first Christmas. Ethan had his school sing a long. We all got to go! He did a GREAT job! We went to Colorado for Christmas and got to spend it with the Reihers. You can always feel the love they have for one another. I love it! I love being around them! It was so fun! The kids had so much fun with them too! It was great to watch my kids play with Brynleigh! They love her and miss her so much! It was fun to watch them play as cousins! It was a Christmas I dont think any of us will forget!

8 Months!

Zachary is now 8 months old! I can NOT believe how fast he is growing! He is starting to get a personality and I love it! He loves his brother and sister! His face lights up with joy when he sees them! He gets very excited! He also hates to be left behind when they go out side to play! He throws a fit until he gets to go with them. He doesnt like Daddy to go to work either. He is such a good baby and we love him so much!

Elliana 12/13/2012

We were blessed 5 years ago with a beautiful baby girl. She has been a huge blessing in our family. Elliana is smart and beautiful! I always knew this day was coming but I didnt think it would come so fast! It is soo bittersweet! I am so excited for her adventures but its almost killing me to think that I have to start letting her go! She is very excited to turn 5! She told me yesterday that when she turns 5 she will be faster. And she swears up and down she is different today! She loves her brothers and her dad. She loves to learn and to play princesses! She loves to play with her mommy too! She is sooooo excited to start kindergarten next year! She talks and talks about it all the time. She is excited to be able to go to the same school as her brother. She loves the gospel too. Church is her favorite place in the world. I am so grateful for her testimony. She is so strong. I know she was supposed to come when she did and she has important work on the earth at this time. I love you Baby Elliana and you will always be my baby girl!
