Mickey Magic

Zach’s first birthday party was a Mickey Magic party.  Zach loves Mickey Mouse.  Mark loves magic.  Zach loves Mark………you get the picture – combine Mickey and magic and you get Mickey Magic………

Here’s Zach’s Mickey cake………..

…and here is his cupcake display made by Mark and myself…….

Here is the guest of honor being delivered to the magic portion of the party by his Mommy in his new little red wagon (his birthday gift from Mark and I)……

 

and here are Zach’s parents being Mark’s assistant for a magic trick…….

Here’s Zach watching Grandpa Mark perform…….

…….but he also enjoyed playing in his wagon with his cousin Noah…….

…….and enjoying my snack…….

After the show, he got to open gifts.  His Mommy and Daddy helped………….

Next was his smash cake…….before……

and after…………

It was a great party……Happy Birthday Zachary!!!

One little, two little, three little Mickeys……..

One little, two little, three little Mickey Moms/Grandmoms…………

What is it??????

What is this thing?????

Can I eat it?????

It talks…………..

…….I’m so intrigued (bet you’re impressed that I know what that word means)…………

It has eyes…………..

Kinda tough to chew but doesn’t taste too bad (and why is it staring at me????????)……..

Corn on the cob?????????? (and quit looking at me!!!!)……….

A harmonica?????

I can’t figure it out – I’m outta here…………

Take a moment to smell the sunflowers……..

We got the great joy of having Zach spend the night Friday.

He played with legos – these are Keith and Corey’s legos from when they were little………..

He played bumper cars in the kitchen…..

He kissed our dishwasher……..

He learned about recycling (he learned that he can take Grandma Teri’s laminated sign off the recycling bin)……..

He enjoyed slamming cabinet doors………..

He took a moment to smell the sunflowers………..

He watched Benji………..

…………until he got bored……………

…….and wanted Grandma to hold him………..

………..and then he fell asleep – awwwwwwww…………

The next day, we went to Menards to get some wood.  These pictures are taken through the headrest.  He was helping Grandpa Mark by holding on to the wood so it wouldn’t move around.  What a little helper.

We had a great time with the lil’ guy – we love you, Zachary!

Lunch with Grandpa Mark

When Keith and Corey were little, I used to take them to have lunch with their daddy.  Now it’s Zach’s turn to have lunch with Mark.  Last Friday, I took Zach for his first “Friday Lunch with Grandpa Mark”.  Here he is checking out the scenery waiting for Grandpa…….

and then Grandpa Mark came to the van………..

Zach and Grandpa had fun but Zach then found it was much more fun to play with the handle he found on the ceiling……..

Miss Chloe

Chloe had a big decision to make.  She was trying to catch a ladybug in the window but was also trying to watch the big truck delivering gravel to our driveway.  The ladybug won…….or would that be lost???  🙁  Poor ladybug.  R.I.P.

 

Mickey love

Zach loves Mickey – we all know that…………

I was trying to get a face pic to send to his Daddy, Mommy and Grandpa Mark while they were at work, so I shut Mickey off.  However, Zach cannot be separated from his beloved Mickey.  Sadly, this was the outcome………….

Still the cutest face even when sad.  I told him I was sorry and turned Mickey right back on.
