Kindergarten graduate

On June 9, 2009 Big Z graduated from Kindergarten. All of the kindergartens sang and danced for the parents. It was precious. Grandpa C. and aunt Theresa came to watch him. Kindergarten was a good year for Big Z as he adjusted to a world bigger than mom and dad. His teacher Ms. Hynes was absolutely wonderful for him. He enjoyed talking to her and really respected her for how she listened to him. She showed up to one of his hockey game and was he proud. He even scored a goal. Big Z is excited to go to 1st grade but also timid about going without Ms. Hynes.

Big Z hits Albuquerque Hard

We went to Albuquerque New Mexico for the Spring Nationals. On the way we stopped at Grand Canyon so Big Z could see "the big hole".

While in Albuquerque, Big Z raced some good races. He placed 3rd and 5Th on Saturday. On Sunday, he took the 1st in mixed open and 3rd in class. Also that weekend, he earned his Open Award jacket. This award is given to the rider who makes 7 mains in the mixed open class. It's a hard thing to do so he was very proud of that thing.

On the way home we visited my mom. big Z enjoyed being spoiled by my mom. He gave her one of his trophies.

Haircut

Zeke decide that it was time for him to get his haircut. Both Mike and Zeke got flat-tops on the same day. Up until now, Big Z had just gotten trims so this was a big change for him. He looks just like his cousins.
