Raking Leaves

The leaves have been coming down the last few weeks, so we spent an afternoon raking up and playing in the leaves. Allie loved it. Now we have to figure out how to pick up the leaves that are on the snow.

Here is an updated picture of Zach

Halloween

Allie really got into Halloween this year. On Friday we visited dad at his office and went trick-or-treating around his work. Allie got to the point when she saw an adult she would just ask "Where is your candy?" Dad and Allie got to go trick-or-treat at a few house on the street, but came back in because of the rain. Between dad's work and the few neighbors she got enough candy to eat and share with mom and dad. Zach was an elephant this year.

Allie's favorite part of her doggie costume was her doggie nose.

Allie and Zachary

Two of my sisters were in town over Halloween, so Amanda planned a Halloween party. We carved pumpkins, played games and decorated cookies. Dad and Allie started to draw a face on the pumpkin to carve, but Allie decided that she didn't want her pumpkin to get carved. She ended up just coloring the pumpkin.

Pictures

Well I finally got around to uploading pictures, so here is the cute baby Zachary.

Zachary is Here!

Zachary Douglas Zumwalt was born on September 1st @ 4:57 pm. He was 6 lbs 6 oz and 20 1/4 inches. The cord was wrapped around his neck making his heart rate drop while I was in labor. It got to a point that they couldn't stabilize his heart rate anymore so we were wheeled off for an emergency c-section. Once he was delivered everything was good with him and me. He is a healthy and alert baby. We got home from the hospital on Saturday and have been adjusting to two kids the last couple of days. Allie loves her brother Zachary and is a big help. I'm relaxing right now so pictures will come later. (I would have to walk downstairs to get the camera cable to upload the pictures to the computer, which is too much work at the momnet.)

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Mike. We love you and hope that you have a great day.

Vernal Trip

Last weekend we went to Vernal with some friends from the ward. We camped in the backyard of our friend's parent's house. This backyard had everything a kid could dream, a train, animals, swing set, old cars, and monkey bars. Allie had a blast! We stopped by the temple while we were there.

Mother's Day Weekend

Over Mother's Day weekend we visited the Pryor's in Fruitland, ID. Allie loved playing with Tyson and Abby, and I realized that Heidi lives to far away. Mike and Allie made a special plate and cup for Mother's Day. The plate had Allie's hand print and the cup was Zach's footprint or the side of Mike's hand.

It's a BOY !!!

We are having a baby Boy. We are going to name him Zachary Douglas Zumwalt. He is healthy and very active and love to kick mom in the bladder. We can't wait to meet him come the first of September!

Easter

We went to the Farmington Easter Egg Hunt, Allie waited patiently for the Easter Egg Hunt

This is Allie done with waiting and wanting to run around.

We finally were able to go and she had a blast picking up the eggs.



Saturday afternoon we dyed Easter eggs, Allie mainly watched the experience because we were afraid she would have dyed everything in the kitchen. Mike and I had fun since neither of us had dyed eggs in years.

The finished product.

Allie and her Easter Basket, Easter morning. She was very excited about the chocolates. She is defiantly a Baker girl.

We had Easter Breakfast with Grandpa & Grandma Baker. When we got there grandma had hidden Easter eggs for Allie throughout the house. Allie loved the marshmallows and puzzles.

Baby Zumwalt #2

We are so excited to share that we will be adding a new addition to our family September 1st. We are almost 13 weeks along and our so happy to have another baby. Allie loves babies and it will be really fun to see how she will react. Both Jeanette and I are a little scared with the idea of two kids but we are excited for a new little boy or girl.

The Last Few Months

I have kinda taken a break from blogging the last year, but I have finished some scrapbook pages from the holidays that give you an update of what we've been doing.
