Cherish the Moments

I've decided that I need to take pictures when I'm really loving my kids so that I can look at them when I'm about ready to pull my hair out!!! Zoe was helping Zak watch "Super Why" -- her favorite TV show.

Hamming it up for the camera!

Zoe is the mascot for my Achievement Day girls and thouroughly enjoys participating in all of the fun right along with them. Yesterday we painted pumpkins! Zoe's is quite the work of art!

The Leaves are Falling -- Time for Football & Halloween!

Tanner is enjoying (the games, not practice) Football this year! He is a great player and we have really enjoyed watching him! He plays both offense and defense and will be playing Fullback starting this week!

Tanner turned 9 on September 26th and celebrated by inviting two friends to join him for some laser tag at Boondocks! They had a great time!

Zoe is practicing for Halloween by dressing up as Princess Cinderella EVERYDAY! It's a constant battle of the crowns in this house! Zoe may be the princess, but I'm the QUEEN! :)

Here's a picture of our cute little "Spook" Zak! He is getting really strong and wants to stand up all the time. Couldn't resist this quick picture!

Last of the Summer Fun

Just a few pictures now that summer is winding down. Here are the "Three Amigos" and their moms! Zak, Caleb & Luke can't wait for their turns on the swing!

Can't beat a good old picnic at the park! Zoe was in the height of her glory having all the cousins to play with!

We had to make accomodations for the limited number of swings, so Zoe and Riley shared a ride!

Zoe will tell you that she loves her "Diesel Dog". He looks a bit intimidating, but I would worry more that he would lick someone to death before inflicting any bodily harm!

Kotter Family Reunion and Luke

Fun Times at Lagoon!

We took the kids to Lagoon last week and had a blast. We had to pick-up a tractor in Ogden so we rode in the Semi Truck and the kids loved climbing around in the sleeper, watching movies and keeping their snacks in the refrigerator. Zak was a great baby and only cried when he was hungry. Tanner rode all of the roller coasters (Nate and I took turns riding while the other watched Zoe & Zak). Zoe had a blast on all the little kid rides and even took a liking to the Tilt a Whirl (yikes! too much spinning for mom!) I didn't do a very good job of taking many pictures, but here are a couple Zoe . . .

Here are my boys -- don't they look thrilled to be getting their pictures taken!!!

You can purchase this ridiculously large mug at the beginning of the day for $12 and refill it at no additional charge all day long, so we figured that it was more cost effective to buy it and share instead of buying individual sodas -- however, Zoe wasn't really into sharing!

Zoe LOVES pink! At the end of the day we were leaving and saw this pink VW bug, I thought Zoe would be really excited, but needless to say she was still upset that we were leaving the "Gagoon"!

New Additions to the Pancheri Family

I'm finally getting around to posting a couple of pics of our new little boy! We are loving having this little addition to our home (except perhaps at 3:30 a.m.)!

Zak & Big Sis Zoe!

Doesn't he just look like he's too cool for his own britches?!

This is our other new addition to the family! Our new Border Collie pup, Lou Lou (or Lil' Lou) is a bundle of energy and lots of fun. She will actually be a working cow dog and we will start training her next month!

more house!

Matt was at our new house last night to meet with the inspector and he took a few pictures of what it looks like now. {Based on the previous picture, my dad asked me why our grass was dead.} Things are moving right along with the financing and insurance and everything. We should be right on schedule to close on August 22. I can't wait!
