Zachary Alan Locher

As many of you know that on Sunday, May 22, 2011 we were blessed to have a new member of the family join us. We were at church and Deborah's water broke. Instead of going to the hospital she told me she had to run home and change??? Well after a quick phone call from the doctor we were off to the hospital!

To say Melissa was a little excited would be an understatement!

Melissa didn't want to let Zachary go!

He was born weighing 6 lbs. 13 oz, and coming in at 18 inches long. They had to insert a feeding tube on Wednesday because the little guy wasn't eating, but almost as soon as they put that tube in he starting eating! I think they only used the tube twice after that.

I have to be honest I have the two cutest kids on the planet! Alright so I am a little biased

Easter Egg Hunt

Here is Melissa and Katelynn posing before the Egg hunt. We went to Granite High School
to do the egg hunt that Deborah found in a book.

Here is our neighbors daughter Sydney in a different area.

Here is Melissa, Mark and Katelynn ready for the egg hunt.

Melissa went and picked up 3 eggs with her new bucket for Easter.

Melissa showing how much she got from the Hunt. Later a boy
came and gave her more candy because she didn't have
very much. It was a lot of fun.

Dying eggs

We died eggs twice and it was fun. Here is Melissa and her friend Katelynn.

Here is where the parents hands got in but it shows the two girls.

Here on Sunday before Easter we died some eggs. Melissa, Uncle Nick and Aunt Karen
are doing the work.

Daddy (Mark) got involved with us.

Melissa's Room

After we got the Baby's Room done Melissa wanted some in her room.
We went out and found Tinkerbell and she has begged us for
it so we got it for her.

Once we got all of the Tinkerbell's up we realized that her room is
all Tinkerbell. The paint on the wall is Tinkerbell green and her
curtains are also Tinkerbell.

The Baby Room

Melissa was trying to hide but we got her in one to show that
she did help us.

We got stickers for the wall that you could put on the walls. Melissa
was excited that we go them and she helped us put them on
the walls through out the room. She was a good helper.

Our baby

We got to find out what we are having. In the last picture it shows
that we are having a boy. We are so excited now we can get
ready for him. It didn't take very long right when the
lady put the ultra sound on we found out right away.

Melissa's Christmas program

Melissa school did a Christmas program and it was very cute. Here is
Mark and Melissa after the program. She got to be an Elf.

Here is Melissa with Deborah. Deborah had such a hard time of not
closing her eyes so she had them wide open.

Here is Melissa with some of the kids at the school. It got us in the
spirit of Christmas.

Sledding

We went sledding after shopping for a new tube. Here is Melissa
and Conner. After going down Melissa just sat there while Conner
pulled her back up to the top of the hill. What a smart girl!

Here is Katelyn, Karen (Aunt Fishy) and Mark.
Katelyn and Karen about to go down the hill.

Here is Karen and Melissa walking up the hill after going down.

Here is Melissa and Bella about to go down the hill.

The race is on! Here are Tj and Mark. They are having fun.
It was very cold going down the hill. Deborah didn't go down the hill which was
probably a good idea. After we were done sledding we went to Deborah's parents house
had some hot chocolate that got us all warmed up.

Getting ready for Santa...

After Thanksgiving day Mel and I waited for Mark (Daddy) to come home after work
once he got home we started to put the tree up and get ready for Christmas.
Mel was very excited that she got to put some of the ornaments up.
Here is Melissa and Mommy putting on ornament on.

Here is Melissa and Daddy putting on an ornament. They did the most of putting
the ornaments on while mom sat and relaxed.
