My Little Dancing Queen

So PresLeigh was in competition dance again this year and is still loving it!! Her team did really good this year and I was so proud of them all. There jazz routine was to Sneaker Night and there lyrical was to Butterfly. And yes I'm that mom who started crying watching her do her lyrical she looked so grown up and so beautiful!!

This picture is my favorite by far!!

Valentine's Day My Way:)

Yes that's a picture of me on his shirt and yes that's a picture of us on mine... I know I'm cool like that:) Nate knows that out of all the holiday's, b-day's, anniversary's that Valentine's Day is the only one I care about getting a present or a letter or something. Well this year he told me that he wasn't going to do anything. So at first I was pretty hurt then I decided to have a little fun and make him never forget this Valentine's day. So needless to say I don't think he will be blowing off another Valentine's day anytime soon. Also I'm fully aware of the fact that's it's June and I'm just posting this!!

Zac's 3 month pics!!

It is that time again for little Zac Attack to get his pictures taken. The picture below is my favorite one of him he is so freakin handsome!!!
This is a look that you will receive often from my sweet little man... it's the look of Seriously???

Another picture of why am I falling out of the chair??

And here he's saying I can't believe they are making me do this!!

Oh but he is a man after his Uncle's heart and so he is smiling big for the Chiefs picture.
And he is also very happy about getting blessed so he decided to smile for this one too!

A different J&J $1 coupon for the first aid kit making it free, I had $1 off target coupon for the Reese's pieces and another $1 off manufacturer coupon giving me $2 off making them .69(if a store has coupon and you have a manufacturer coupon you can use them together), the Fusions were on sale for 6.99 I had $4 off coupons that them $2.99 and if you bought 2 razors they gave you a $5 target card making them .49 a piece.

CAN I JUST SAY I LOVE SAVING MONEY!!!!

Baby Zac is 2 months old

So Zac was 2 months old on the 2nd, here are his stats.

22 3/4 inches long 50%

11 lbs 9 oz 50%

head 38 cm 10% lol
Facts about baby Zac are, he never sleeps at night(apparently he knows that's when he gets one on one time), if he's awake you have a 75% chance that he will be crying, and he pretty much never smiles or coos unless HE wants too. But the funny thing is I feel so close to him even though he is so difficult we have a very special bond, maybe it's because he is totally his dad;)

So baby Zac is our little model:) He is the pic on the very left, and the third in from the left. This ad was in the value pages and he is also in the front window at Pretty Pictures I've been meaning to take of pic of that and he is also on her website!!
PresLeigh took this picture yesterday and she did a better job than I thought she would.

I love this little man I could kiss his baby lips off in this picture, he looks so sweet!!

Zac's Little Nursery

So you know it's your 4th baby when you don't even put the nursery together until your baby is over a month old. And it's still not completely finished. I ordered vinyl of his name to put above the animal squares.

And to the right of the maternity picture I'm going to put an 8x10 of him.

A little of this and that

My little man with his fohawk.
This is a few weeks old but seriously does Zac even have a mom he looks just like Nate:)

The kids have wanted Snuggies for so long so Santa brought them some. This pic is especially for Uncle Zac who is constantly making fun of snuggies.

Gavin has been sleeping in the girls' room a lot lately and one of these nights Olivia decided to take her Leapster and hit Gavin with it. It was so sad I felt so bad for him:(

Seriously I don't know what I would do with out my perfect little PresLeigh, she is such an amazing girl. I can always count on her to help me and she is just so full of life we are always having fun together. This is her helping me out as usual with the baby.

And this morning I came down the stairs from getting Liv ready for church and she had got him to sleep.

Christmas 2009

Once again this post is late but better than never. This is the Engman side of our family on Christmas Eve with all the grandkids doing the nativity.

Christmas morning! We were really lucky this year Nate worked Christmas night so he got to open presents with the kids.

Livie and her "DS" as she calls it.

Gavin with his Captian Rex helmet.

This was PresLeigh's baby walk and giggle.

Baby Zac's first Christmas.
Baby Zac with my brother Zac. I think Uncle Zac is pretty proud of the baby in his Chiefs outfit he bought him.
