ZAK Birthday

Zachery and Owen still crack me up when they talk, and don't know anyone is listening. ZAK and Owen were talking the other day and ZAK says "I got stung by a Poker-Cheese (Portuguese) Man of War swimming in the ocean. Owen says "Yea well you can only die 2 ways - 1st if you get shot and stabbed, 2nd is if you get old.

Zachery's birthday was fun. He wanted pizza at home and a water balloon fight with Griffen and Hudson. He likes to keep it simple, and that works just fine with us. ZAK is still coughing, but it seems a little better, when he doesn't run around. But that didn't stop him from scoring 6 goals in his first soccer game. At the end I asked him to pass the ball to his team-mates, and he did it very unselfishly. I was very proud of him. Sydney and Lava loved the game also, just across the street, so we can walk. Sydney is all recovered from her tonsillectomy, and she went to the store today to pick out new earrings with her birthday money. She has a count down going, she can't put new ones in until Mom's birthday. Hope all is well, we miss yall!!!

Summer Fun

Zachery got to drive his first SHELBY. He was allowed to drive it early because he was a careful driver. Let's hope that continues with the teenage years. Sydney and ZAK celebrated their birthdays together at the ICE skating rink. Yes we have one of them in Hawaii. It is very popular and crowded, but the kids loved it. Jen and Mary had a great visit, and we really enjoyed having them. Sydney had her tonsils taken out this week, and she is enjoying the popsicle and icecream for breakfast lunch and dinner. Zak is also benefiting from the arrangements. The kids go back to school next week, Sydney in second grade and Zak in kindergarten. My new job as a physical therapist is great. I love getting back to patient care. Miss everyone and hope to get back to the mainland next summer if everything works out. Love Bortons
