Happy 10th Birthday Zach!!!

This is Zach today - he's a "tween" now as he calls it - almost a teenager he says, that should get more privileges....according to him. For now, I am just amazed by him - he's such a good kid. As is our tradition - the birthday boy/girl can have anything they want for their birthday breakfast.Zach's choice - sausage, egg, & cheese sandwiches & hashbrowns......healthy -no, but it's his birthday.....
Connor's birthday is 4 days after Zach's, so May is a crazy month at the Goff house!
We went to Red Robin tonight to celebrate the boys......
Connor ate fries before our meal came (thanks to an awesome server) & declared he was done & said, "where's my icecream?" Good thing Ty told the server to have them both sung to!
Thrilled to have his sundae.....
Now, my kids birthdays cause me to reflect a lot.....especially Zach, being our first born. It's hard to believe that this time 10 years ago I was rushed to the hospital with toxemia & induced! We waited 4 LONG years before we were lucky enough to get pregnant with you! You are an amazing boy (young man now), strong, honest, trustworthy, smart, handsome, and really funny!

Zach at a couple weeks....
at 6 months.....
at 14 months in Sweden.... at 2 years (he loved these boots we brought back from Sweden, wanting to wear them everywhere!!!)..... at 3 being big brother to Braeden... at 4, handsome as ever... at 5, ready for T-Ball (first game family came to, Zach hit the ball off the T, and ran to 3rd base...totally hilarious, especially cuz Tyler is such a sports nut)
at 8 at Zach's Baptism.... sporting his mouth guard for football at 9..... Zach, we love you TONS & TONS!!!! Hope you had a wonderful birthday! We had already given him his main birthday present a couple weeks ago - a new bat for baseball (a really nice one, thanks to Tyler)....and today he got a new jacket & Tech Dech's - toy mini skateboards.....something he REALLY wanted!
