Clare Marie!

Here is your first view of Clare Marie Zitzelsberger. It turned out pretty clear and it was very obvious that she is a girl. Enjoy!

Soccer Pros Here We Come!

So the kids love playing soccer. The Maple Valley leagues are alot less stressful than the Claremont league was and they are having a fantastic time playing. The teams split into smaller groups to allow the kids a better chance at the ball. It has really worked well, especially for Sammy who gets bored easily if she isn't in the action. Here is a picture of her driving the ball down the field, after which, she scored a goal! She was very proud of herself! Jake gets right into the action and loves it. He runs down the field with a huge smile on his face and helped score at least two goals in his game. It is really fun for us to watch the kids enjoy soccer so much.

Joshy!

Since Josh isn't going to School and doesn't really play soccer, I thought that he should have his own post. He is growing like weed and just broke his 8th tooth last week. He has gotten really good at walking and loves to tootle around in the back yard. I can open the back door and he will play with all of the balls and toys forever all by himself. He still isn't too sure about walking in the grass so he mainly stays on the deck and has a grand old time. Here is a picture of him in one of the cars after he figured out how to get in by himself and another from our trip to Disneyland. That one from Disneyland really looks like Dad!

First Day of School

Here are some fun pictures from the 1st Days of school. Both of the kids were really excited to go back to school this year. Especially Jake, who just really wants to do everything that Sammy gets to do. They both really love their teachers and classes!

Babies Babies Everywhere!

More from the Z's

When Granny and Papa were here we went fishing and the kids had a great time fishing with Papa. The kids had a fun time with Grandma Thorne as well. She mostly enjoyed watching them play and reading them pioneer stories. Here they are with her at Uncle Don's house. Note the length of Sammy's hair. The top picture is of Sammy after she cut her own hair last week. She came in from the garage and told me that she wanted to have a haircut just like Cora LaRue's hair, and that is what she got. She had already cut a substantial portion of her hair off and this is the final result. She enjoyed the haircut for about 2 hours, when she finally came to me with tears rolling down her face and told me that she wanted her hair back. Too late! She is now dedicated to regrowing it.

From Washington
