Happy Happy Birthday Zack!!
Long ago in the month of February, this guy had a birthday!! He was so excited to turn 8! We celebrated with cake and ice cream at Grandma and Grandpa Chambers house. We also celebrated Preston's, Grandpa's and Eli's birthdays.
We did presents the next day before church which was his actual birthday. I think he was most excited about his 60 pack of Pokemon. He kind of liked his scriptures but was a tad bit upset that his didn't have a middle initial on them like Jackson's did. Oh well. And then we have the Legos which he was excited about and played with for a few days and then they are just all over. I don't know why I keep buying them.
And along with birthday #8 comes a baptism. This was why he was so excited to turn 8! He could hardly wait until this day. I on the other hand couldn't wait for this day to be over. I was still in the beginning of my pregnancy and not feeling super good and on top of that I had a cold. I went home and took a two hour nap when it was all done. But besides that, I think the day went great! Dave did a great job baptising and confirming Zackery. Too good of a job. All of the cousins wanted him to have to do it twice! Funny kids. He even got to be baptised on the same day as one of his friends, Kyle Butters. After the baptism we went to our church and had lunch with all of our families. Lot's of good food and lot's of good company!
Zackery is such a fun boy to have in our family! Most days. Some days I want to put him out on the porch and lock the doors until Dave gets home. Other days he is such a good boy. He can be very helpful when he chooses to be. He might be a little too smart for his own good! He does so well in school. Especially reading. Every week when we go to church he falls asleep in Sacrament meeting. Sometimes we even catch him snoring. It's pretty funny actually! I don't think he sleeps very well at night. Somehow he knows all the answers in primary even when you think he's not paying attention. He usually has his tie around his head like Rambo and he never leaves his shoe laces in his Sunday shoes. Drives me bonkers! Now that he is 8, Zack also gets to start going to Cub Scouts which he is super excited about!
Part of me wants to keep him this age and not let him grow up and part of me can't wait to see what kind of person he will grow up to be. We just need to channel him in the right direction and I am sure he will do amazing things!
We love our Zack Attack!
