It's Spring...Finally!

Here are some fun pics of me and Maddy on our various adventures this Spring. We've been all around visiting parks, playgrounds and even Lord Stirly Stable with my good pal Dylan (where I rode a HORSE, not a pony!)...lots of fun! Enjoy!

Zack Earns His White Belt!

Today was a very exciting, important day for me...I got my White Belt in Tae Kwon Do today!!!!!! It was so awesome! There were so many kids testing today - so i was a little nervous, but I knew my practice was going to pay off, just like Mommy said! Master Park asked me a bunch of questions and gave me a few challenges - and I passed them all! I even had to kick a piece of wood and break it with my foot - and I totally did it! There was a great ceremony afterwards, and I went from no belt to white belt and even got a HUGE trophy to put in my room. Mommy, Daddy and Maddy were so proud of me - and even took me out for pizza to celebrate! What a fantastic day! Yellow belt, here I come!

Easter 2011

Hi Everyone and Happy Easter 2011 and Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

Well, another great today today. We got to spend time with all of our family this weekend. First we hit the sea shore and had easter lunch at Nammy's house in Lavallette...and even got to visit the beach. It was a little windy, but the weather was perfect...so we ran up and down the beach and had tons of fun with Willow and Nikita! After that, we headed back north and had desert and Grandma & Grandpa's house. Yummy as usual...grandma knows how to whip up some tasty treats. Plus, Zack and I made out like crazy getting so much chocolate. I even got tons of my favorite mini-M&Ms. Definitely had to hide those from my brother...he's always taking my stuff!

Lots of love!
Maddy & Zack

New York Car Show & Daddy's Birthday

Happy Weekend Everyone!

We had a super-big adventure this weekend...we went to New York City!!! It was a like a dream come true! Sky scrapers, taxi cabs and tons of sounds, people and action...it's our kind of town! We went to the New York Auto Show in honor of Daddy's birthday (which is actually tomorrow on Easter this year!). He LOVE cars - especially Porsches...so that's what we checked out...But since Maddy and I LOVE Mini-Coopers, we totally visited that section too. It was so much fun seeing all of the fancy cars and trucks. Poor Maddy had to sit in her stroller (she can't be trusted cause she ALWAYS runs)...but since I am a responsible older brother, I got to see all the cars close up and even sit inside...Daddy even had me check out my other favorite cars...Audi! Then, after all of that fun...we went to the BEST lunch restaurant ever - Schnippers - to eat hot dogs, chicken fingers, fries and...Mac & Cheese! Delish! We had a blast and we think Daddy did too - and we made sure to sing Happy Birthday and give hime great big hugs and kisses all day long!!!!

Family Vacation in Washington, DC!

Hi Everyone! Hope that you all had a great week and weekend! We definitely did! We took our first family vacation of 2011 in Washington, DC! It was so much fun and we can't wait to tell you all about it! First, we had an excellent road trip down to DC from 'Jersey! We sang songs, colored, played games kept asking Mommy & Daddy if we were there yet...like a million times. When we finally got to DC, we were a little tired, but immediately wanted to check out the sites...so we got in our red stroller and cruised all around town. It was a little chilly, but we got to see the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the WWII Memorial, the Washington Monument and even the White House! It was really, really awesome! And after such a busy day, we were happy to hang out at our cool hotel and play with the giant goldfish in the lobby. There was even a super cool waterfall too. By the end of the night, we were happy to crash in our super comfy bed with tons of pillows. But OF COURSE, Maddy was up to no good and would not let me go to sleep. So she was banished to the crib. Ha ha ha! Anyway, we got up early everyday so that we could see as much stuff as possible...Mommy and Daddy took us everywhere (as you'll see in the pics below)...like the Zoo, the Air & Space Museum (so many planes and rocket ships), the Natural History Museum (with tons of Dinos!), the American History Museum (trains, of course), a carousel ride in the park, nice restaurants and tons of other places too. We even got to eat ice cream twice in one day...now that is a vacation. Anyway, hope you enjoy our pics...we had a blast and just wanted to share with you! Love you all, Zack & Maddy!
