Jace's new puppy

This is Jace's new puppy, Buddy. We just adopted him after my Uncle Lane and cousin Montie found him lost and wandering. He is a very good dog and although we don't know his exact age, we guess that he is probably between 8-12 months old. He has plenty of puppy in him and loves to run around our property. He will be a great farm dog. He stays very close and doesn't try and run away. We know that Jace will have many adventures with his puppy in the years to come!

Jace's first road trip

Jace made his first road trip to Great Falls, Montana on May 16 to attend his cousin Luca's wedding and to meet his great grandparents and many other family members. The trip took a little longer than normal (7 hours compared to a normal 5 1/2) because of food and crying stops but Jace was able to take a few short naps along the way. In addition to his first long drive, Jace also stayed in his first hotel and did very well. Great Grandma (Amy) and Grandpa (Pete) Zahara were very happy to meet their 14th great grandchild and Grandma Pauline and Grandpa Rick were happy to see their newest (4th) grandchild. All in all it was a great trip.

Jace's week

Jace had many new accomplishments this week - he is really changing on a daily basis! We took our first walk with the big jogger stroller around our property and down to the lake. The "town" stroller doesn't work so well where we live because of bumpy gravel roads and the big jogger stroller has large wheels but is not supportive enough for him at this age. We were able to find an insert that would support his head and trunk in the jogger stroller so that he fit in it and didn't fall out. He really likes being outside in the stroller and fell asleep on both of our walks. Mommy is happy because she likes taking walks with him. Jace fell asleep on 2 different car trips to town. I realize that doesn't sound like a big deal but as most of you know, Jace is not a fan of his car seat or taking car trips, so this really was quite an event in our household. We'll see if it sticks. Friday morning after he woke up at 5:30am he laid in his bassinette and babbled nonstop to himself for about 45 minutes. Mom and dad just sat in their bed and listened and laughed. It was absolutely the cutest thing you could ever hear! He was telling quite a story. I wish we could have tape recorded it but it will stick in our minds forever. He is melting our hearts daily with many many smiles and babbles. He is really changing from a newborn to an amazing baby. You will all be shocked the next time you see him!

These attached pictures and video don't really have to do with anything, just Jace and his dad having fun together.

Love you all!

Another Bouncy Chair Greatest Hit

The little guys smile is infectious I swear.........

Jace watching mobile

Jace loves to lay in his crib and watch his mobile (he doesn't sleep in his crib, just likes to play there!). He smiles and kicks his legs like crazy. We tried to capture a little clip of him watching. Enjoy!

Jace's First Video Clips

We ended up buying a web cam yesterday. Here is a video clip of the little guy doing his thing in his bouncy chair. We can also live chat and share live video of the little guy! Give us a call and we can give you instructions.
