Who, being loved, is poor?: Zach is Three!!

I can't believe my little guy is three. He has brought me more laughter and tears then I could have ever imagined before he was born. He has made me grow up and given me an excuse to act like a kid. He is so smart, funny, and energetic. I enjoy our time reading together and playing outside. I love him when he is being a brat and worry about him constantly. I can't imagine my life without him and am grateful everyday that to have him as my baby, no matter how old he gets.

We had zach's birthday party on Saturday May 1st. Gordon was nice enough to let us have 24 adults and 20 kids over to his house to celebrate. The theme was dinosaurs cause Zach loves them and I found some cute decorations and a really cute cake so it was great. We ate hamburgers and hotdogs, talked and played in the backyard. I set up a few games for the younger kids, a bean bag toss, a spot the dino game (like pin the tail on the donkey) and a dino dig where they looked for dinosaur eggs in the sandbox. Each of the kids won prizes and had a lot of fun playing in the sand. Zach recieved a bunch of great gifts: books, and clothes, a toy golf set, bakugan, me and Taylor both got him the same T-ball stand set (that was so funny and not planned). I think his favorite gift was the giant dinosaur he got from Grandpa Coles he couldn't believe it when he opened it and latter that night he would just walk around it in a circle and say "it has big eyes, big teeth, a big..." So cute. I decorated some tables in the basement incase the weather didn't cooperate since it had been raining all week, but luckily it was sunny and not too cold so most of the time everyone played outside and had plenty of space to eat, throw the balls and frisbees and hang out. The party turned out better then I expected.
