happy birthday big boy ... and a secret revealed!!

Yeah yeah yeah.... I know one and a half hours afterwards I am writing about this little mans birthday and yeah yeah yeah... because he is the first born he gets a blog post on his birthday instead of a couple of days later like his third born sister.... BUT... he is the first born and therefore the best... the middle child will always be the middle child... never better than the oldest and never cuter than the youngest.. the earlier they know that the better....

SO ... this morning we welcomed the Zinga's into the year 2010... yes we finally have a piece of technology in the house that dates after the year 2000.

We don't have a plasma, a wii {except on the bathroom floor after the boys have been there}, an X-box, a playstation, i-pods, i- phones, anything with the letter "i"... my mobile phone is analogue.. so is our little box of a telly... so today... we have a DSi ... finally something with an "i",

Yep. think he is stoked about that!! and this is not a posed photo.. seriously, this was his reaction... love it!! And yep - that's me on the right in desperate need of an underarm wax, arm wax, eyebrow wax and lip and chin wax too... but check out my guns!!! {sorry babe.. love the face fluff... its not me girls... really..}

Happy birthday little man!! 9 years old!!
