Californ-I-A Here I Come!!!

Everything is A-OK with Zachary At the Controls!!!


I Picked Up This Chickee-Poo At Legoland!!!

Come Here Little Fishy!!!

Guess Who I Bumped Into At Legoland----Lizzybeth!!!


I Can Out Run the Ocean!!!

Daddy and Me At The Beach!!!

Guess where I went??? I went on a BIG BIG airplane all the way to California for a long long weekend!!!! Mommy and Daddy kept telling me I was going to go on airplane and they didn't lie!!! I got to go on a mini-vacation and Rufus and Pop-Pop had to stay home all by themselves! Bella had to go take care of Uncle Carl because unlike Rufus and Pop-Pop, Bella can't be trusted to not destroy the house. I hear that Bella had a blast with Uncle Carl. Thanks Uncle Carl!!

Well Bella may have had a blast with Uncle Carl, I had a bigger blast on my vacation! I got to go to see Grandma Lily and her husband. I showed Grandma just how big and sweet I am! I wasn't too sure about her husband but I didn't feel too bad because the Grandpa slots are already full!! He was nice to me though and he takes good care of Grandma Lily, so I guess he is okay!! I was exhausted after my busy day and I fell asleep within minutes of leaving Grandma's house and being strapped into my "bucket" in the car.

The next day Mommy and Daddy took me to Legoland! I had a blast riding the rides and playing in the water (Mommy wasn't too pleased that Daddy let me do the latter since I was crying about having wet shoes and socks). Guess who I saw at Legoland?? Lizzybeth!!! I spied her from 50 yards away and took off running into her arms. I hugged her and hugged her. Daddy didn't think I would remember her but Mommy knew I would! Mommy is pretty sure that I marked her with my scent and like a "dog", I never forget my own scent! It was super fantastic seeing Lizzybeth again. She needs to come to my house to see me again. She claims she will and I am going to hold her to that.

On Sunday we went to Sea World. I have to say that Sea World was horrible!! This whale spit on me, which really made me MAD!!! That whale can just stick a choo-choo up his blow hole for spitting on me. I should be mad at Mommy because I suspect that she knew it was going to happen and didn't do anything to stop it. I can't be mad at Mommy though---even if she did laugh!! Daddy and Mommy have decided that I am a thrill ride boy, not a sit and watch silly pet tricks type of boy so they will be very reluctant to waste money on mainly sitting theme parks in the future. That suits me just fine because I will always feel the need for speed!!

As promised, Mommy took me on a choo-choo while we were there. I think Daddy failed in his Daddy duties though because he moved over so what appeared to be a homeless guy could sit down next to us....now that was RUDE!!! Mommy was glad that I had enough sense to move! I threw a huge fit after we got off the train because I wanted to get on the BIG BIG train that was at the station next to the trolley but Mommy wouldn't let me. I am not sure I will ever recover from being told "No". Mommy did promise thought that the next time we go to California she will take me on the BIG BIG train that goes up the coast. I suspect she may have made that promise hoping that the next time we go I have cycled out of my choo-choo obsession.

We went home on Monday. This time Mommy let me sit in the airplane seat like a big boy rather than in my bucket! I did great on the way home seated like a big boy. I think Mommy only let me sit like that so: (a) they didn't have to lug my bucket through the airport and (b) so I would not have the reach to kick the seat of the person sitting in front of me. (Okay, so maybe I annoyed the guy in front of me the whole the way to California but he couldn't have been too annoyed because he never said anything---he didn't even give me a dirty look!)

Well that was my latest adventure!!!

Zachary 1: Ms. Stacy 0; Ms. Amanda 0; Bella 0 and Dr. Derek 0

Happy late Valentine's Day everyone!!! I had a great Valentine's Day!!! I got all kinds of goodies from Mommy and Daddy. I also got to have TWO DATES on Valentine's Day. I got to hang out with my two bestest babes Ryan and Jessica!!! I wanted to go on Mommy and Daddy's date with them but they told me "No Way Jose!!" Just as well because I think having two beautiful girls as my dates on Valentine's Day beat hanging out with Mommy and Daddy!!

I got more presents from Aunt Kay and Uncle Carl on Sunday. They stopped by to trade Valentine's cards with me. I managed to get two bags full of goodies from them. They are the best godparents a boy could ever have! Thanks you two!!

I got a note sent home with me last week because I have been incorrigible at school!!! I have been being a really rowdy boy and not doing anything Ms. Stacy and Ms. Amanda ask me to do nor do I listen to either of them. Mommy says that I have to be a good boy and not hit people. However, Mommy doesn't feel too sorry for the baby Wardens for me not listening because I don't listen to her either.

Bella and I seem to be getting along better nowadays but ever now and then I have to lord over Bella with an iron fist. She can be extremely bossy and pushy and there is only room for one bossy and pushy tyrant in this house---ME!! I have mastered the art of grabbing her by the collar and dragging her to her "thinking box" when ever I think she has offended me, Rufus or Sebastian!

I had to go to the dentist today! I was not at all happy to see Dr. Derek. I think they remembered me too because they didn't even try to let me hang out in the room with the other poor smucks whose Mommies made them go to the dentist too. I am happy to report that I put up such a big fight that Dr. Derek was afraid to stick his fingers in my mouth this time and didn't even try to fluoridate me because he knew I would get him if he tried. I am even happier to report that I dented his metal mouth mirror and broke the glass!!!! I think everyone was amazed at my accomplishment because everyone came to see what I accomplished!! According to Dr. Derek that wasn't suppose to be possible. Dr. Derek is hoping that if they increase the frequency of my visits I will get use to him and let him have a real good look in my mouth. Mommy assures Dr. Derek that it isn't likely to happen soon. I think Dr. Derek thought Mommy was kidding until she told him that it was just a few weeks ago that I finally allowed my pediatrician to look in my mouth without having to go through the whole rodeo deal. I have news for Dr. Derek, if he thinks I am big and strong now--wait until next time when I will be even bigger and stronger!!!!

Well that is all for now!

Happy February!!!

Bella at 12 Weeks Old!!!
(Check out her Donald Trump Comb Over!!!)
(P.S. Bella stays in violation of the "ear rule")



Okay, I really need to do something about my secretary. Seems the new year has not changed her ways. She needs to watch it because the way the economy is going, I may just fire my secretary!! Good help shouldn't be too hard to find nowadays.

What's new?? Guess what I got?? I got my very own I-Phone!!! Am I the coolest 3 year old or what??? Okay, so maybe I don't have actual phone service but I do have the phone with Wi-Fi for my You Tube viewing pleasure. I do wish to apologize for all those people I use to call on Mommy and Daddy's phones. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I must admit though, my plan worked because it got me my very own I-Phone!! :)

Guess what else I got?? I got a ukelele and some cool checkered Vans all the way from Hawaii! Thanks Sommer. I love my "guitar" and my cool shoes!!


My puppy is a holy terror!! Bella is getting bigger and bigger every day. At her last doctor appointment she weighed 24 1/4 pounds and was 18 inches tall. That is a big change from when I got her a month ago (she doubled her weight and grew about six inches). The doctor said she wouldn't be surprised if Bella doubled her weight again over the next month. From the way she has been eating lately, I wouldn't be surprised either!! I have been learning to control Bella when she has been being bad. I am allowed to spank her with the newspaper but Mommy thinks I get power hungry so I am only allowed to spank Bella when Mommy says so and under supervision.


I was jealous that Bella got sick, so I got sick too. Apparently Rufus was jealous that Bella and me were sick, so he got sick too! Sebastian says we are all a bunch of goobers and he doesn't want any part of being sick! Anyway, I have been hanging out all weekend because I am sick. Hopefully I will get better soon. Dude came and played with me yesterday. I was excited to see Dude. He built me a cool house with my Lincoln Logs.


Well that is all the news I have. Oh yeah, I get to take a trip this month. Mommy and Daddy haven't told me where I am going but the insist that I will be extremely happy. We shall see.
