Zakary turned 6 on September 3rd and boy did he have an exciting day! First here are the pictures from his class party.
Ms. Rosie crowns him birthday king for the day!
Yummy cupcakes! His friends wiped out all of the cupcakes, ice cream sandwiches and chocolate milk. Yummo!
Z for Zakary!
Then, its off to story time. Zakary read for the class and boy did they enjoy it. He's so animated when he reads.....hmmmm....I wonder where he gets his antics from?
High-Fives all around! Great job reading Zak everyone enjoyed it.
And let's end the day with a little song and dance :-)
In the evening, it was dinner, cake, presents and singing at Lolo Dody's house with Zak's Mama, Mommy, Daddy, Nik, Annika, Cousin Rocky, Ninong Don, Tita MC, Tita Riane and Tito Ryan and Lolo Dody. Boy did we have fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ZAK, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Now blow out those candles......
MAKE A WISH ZAK!!!
Did you wish you'd turn into Spongebob?
Zakary Turns 6!!!
IS Manila Soccer Festival
Today was the start of our sports weekends Zak joined tee-ball and Nik decided to join the school soccer team again. He took a break last year, but was excited to come back to the sport in 5th grade. Today was ISM's season opener. In the Philippines, each school hosts a "festival" where all the local school teams come and play 12 minute games each other. Nik played 4 games: 2 wins, 1 tie and 1 loss. He even scored a goal! Better than that, his defense was awesome. Awesome playing today Nik!
You Got Some Moves Boy!




We were so captivated by the game, we totally forgot about the camera and missed Nik's goal, but we did get the "I Scored a Goal Smile".
The Team
Tee Ball
Mr. Zakary hasn't been much into sports yet. He tried badminton, but I think he's still a bit young for that sport. We received a flyer for the International Little League Association and so I asked Zak if he'd like to try out baseball. Well he agreed and so today he went to try-outs. We'll he enjoyed it and will be playing tee-ball shortly. Yay! I'm so happy. This may just be the sport for him! We were so excited, we volunteered to help out (haven't done that since our flag football days in Valencia). Mommy will be on the yearbook committee and daddy will be the team manager (in the Philippines each team has an assigned coach....daddy sighs!)
After sign-ups, uniform measurement. Can't wait for the uniform to come in. When asked what number he wanted, 22 - he said because he loves 2's :-)
Next, here's your new mit, Zak. Let's play some catch and throw!
Finally, the piece de resistence, his new baseball bat. Yay!
Of Course Annie has to visit the Big School Too
We couldn't resist brining Annie to IS with us. She had so much fun watching all the kids and being outside on the playground. Happy 7 Month Birthday Sweetheart!!

Finally....Zak's in Kindergarten
Today was a big day for Zakary. His preschool days are finally over and he's in big school now. He had an amazing day at school and was so proud to put on his uniform just like his big brother Nik. I have no doubt that Zak will enjoy Kindergarten....I'm just wondering if IS is ready for Zakary Puno. Here are some photos which chronicle his big day.
Sag Cheese for your new school id!
My Fifth Grader
Today was the first day of 5th Grade for Nik. I'll keep saying it over and over again - I can't believe how much my oldest has grown. Its a miracle before my very eyes. He is turning 11 this year and has become quite a young gentleman. He's recently developed a love for the guitar and like most boys his age is fascinated by music. Of course, as he grows into his adolesence, it is becoming less and less cool to have mom and dad bring you to school and it is especially uncool for mom to be taking pictures of you and your friends with her huge intruding zoom lens. So here are some pics of Nik's new classroom, new teacher and of him reconnecting with his friends. Sorry Nik, but I love you so much and want to capture every milestone because time flies too fast.
