1ST BIRTHDAY

Last weekend we had a little BBQ for Zachary's 1st Birthday! It still amazes me that he is already one. Where did the year go??? Zach got tons of toys and clothes, which by the way I have absolutley no room for in my little house. You can definatly tell who rules the roost the minute you walk into our house. Zach had a wonderful time opening all the new gifts and playing on his new toys. It was funny to watch him eat his cake. He actually didnt like the fosting on his fingers and he cried:(

Good Hygiene

One of Zachies favorite times of the day is bath time. When you tell him its time for bath he runs straight into the bathroom and peeks over the tub at all his toys. He tries to get undressed, but he hasn't figured out how to take his clothes off yet, but tries very hard. He would spend hours in the bathtub if I would let him. He is for sure a water lover:)

Camping

I never knew an 11 month old could love 4-wheeling as much as Zach does. We had the best time camping a wheeling in Sumptner with the Dodge family. We went out on several rides with the kids and Zach loved every minute of it. We would put him in his Baby Bjorn and his arms and legs would start flapping with excitement when we started the 4-wheelers. He just loved the sound of the motor and the wind blowing in his face. If you listened carefully you could hear him making motor sounds as you drove down the trails. I couldn’t stop laughing at him; every so often he would look up at you and smileJ He his such a boy! When we would stop for little brakes he would get down and double check every tire and wheel to make sure they looked good. Back at camp he would checkout all of the 4-wheelers several times and then want to be put back up on the seat to pretend he was driving them. He couldn’t get enough of them. It was by far one of best vacations we have taken in a long time!

At The Races

Last weekend we went to the Elma race track to cheer on Daddy! While on our way to the restroom Zach found a race car just his size. I have never seen a kid so excited to sit in the drivers seat of a race car. It was so cute he sat in the seat and made motor noises and pretended to drive. Its so amazing to see how much he loves things with wheels and motors. When it was time to move on and go back to our seats you would have thought I had just beat the poor kid. He kicked and screamed at me for at least 10 minutes, then he wouldn't even look at me for another 30 minutes. I had never seen him so mad. Needless to say we avoided walking back by the race car!

On April 23rd cousin Cailyn turned 1. We had a wonderful little party in her mommy's hospital room. We had cake and opened presents. Cailyn loved her cake and dug right in!!!

SPEED

Zach just loves everything that has wheels and speed (not surprising when his father is Brandon!) He hasnt figured out that he needs to hold down the throttle to keep the bike going, but every now and then he hits it and gets all excited.

Tulip Festival

On Saturday Zachy, my mom and I went to the Tulip Festival. All the flowers were beautiful and Zach loved the wooden shoe. In fact he was so cute sitting in it a random lady asked if she could take his picture because he was just so darn cute!
