its your birthday!

“FINALLY, FINALLY! It is FINALLY here!”

Our little Z man declared the morning of his birthday.

The day began with a room exploding with balloons and streamers.

Breakfast of his choice.

Then the party.

Thankfully Jon designed the invites this time, they were perfect.

Earlier in the week the family party…

(Jenna, we LOVE our new birthday banner! Thanks).

Meet flash the Beta fish, Zachary’s new pet.  We originally planned on a goldfish, who knew Petsmart would advocate for a $1.00 goldfish and refuse to sell it to me because I didn’t have a filtering system in the tank.  Really?

What we love about Zachary:

His personality.

He appears tough, but his tender heart and gentle spirit make him so loveable. Heaven knows we are blessed to have him in our family!

He always comes up with the best one liners and made-up words to lighten the mood. (i.e. It will be okay, I need a hug, Let’s go to Red Biscuit).

Dallin thinks Zachary is the most fun person to play with because he is always willing to play what Dallin chooses. So true.

Zachary never gives up whether it is making it on the swim team against all odds, completing a difficult Sudoku or building legos. He never let’s himself down. His attitude inspires all of us.

Thanks Alicia, he loves his super batman cape!

Seriously, just yesterday he asked when it was going to be his birthday again? 

Not until we celebrate ever other person’s birthday in the family, then it will be your birthday again.

In other words, a really long time.
