Zach's Almost Perfect Birthday

Well, yesterday was it the day Zach has been talking about for many, many months...his 5th birthday!

We were able to enjoy cupcakes after breakfast...what do you do with a batch of 24?...eat a lot & share a lot!It happened to be his preschool trip to the Real Life Farm...Zach LOVED his time with the animals, I can not post every picture of him with the animals...feeding a baby cow a bottle, riding the horse, feeding the baby goat, petting the ducks, milking the cow...but this was his FAVORITE part...right in the baby sheep pen, he could have stayed there all day.

And then Zach LOVES bowling, so off to ZapZone we went for a round of mini-bowling & some jump around time & more cupcakes.

Zach is our precious Zach, so very full of life & love. I think he has the "gift of friendship"...kids he hardly knows, their parents tell me that they consider Zach their friend. Everything is more fun with a friend! Thankfully, he has had his best friend as BJ & now another best friend that he plays with so much, Ellyana!And so we never forget Zach at this age...he's the only guy cute enough to pull off wearing his socks hiked up to bed every night...and his most appropriate nickname..."Snack Attack Zach" he is constantly asking for snacks & saying he's hungry!

Zach LOVED his day, the phone calls, the cards, the gifts, the little party, the farm...but as he was trying to get to sleep...he said the thing he had really wanted...was a baby sheep, he said he could start building a pen in the backyard...its just like Zach to dream BIG!!

Tonight started T-ball & tomorrow morning is Kindergarten Round-up for him. Its kinda sad to think of him growing up, but we very are proud of him & the work God has continued to do in his life, and we are oh, so happy to have him in our family!!!
