Happy 3rd Birthday Zach! (a week early... just incase your sister comes early)

We had another pool party for Zach this year and he wanted it to be a "pirate party". The kids had fun playing in the pool and then we had pizza and cupcakes. The time went by too fast with so many friends and so much fun! We have been telling Zach that his birthday would be before Ellie Kate is born, so yesterday he "turned three" and we celebrated (all a week early). We didn't want to disappoint him if his sister decides to come a little early. The way things go with our family, she probably won't be early, but we just wanted to be sure!Family picture with the birthday pirate and his pet parrot!

I ordered cupcake toppers from an etsy shop and had the cupcakes made... I had to make it easy this year!

Little Zach is growing fast and talking so clearly! He is finally potty trained and ready for a few days of preschool. Time passes too quickly! I can hardly believe he is already 3 years old!!! Here is a little look back over his birthdays.

Silly Zach can be really shy or really outgoing. We never know what to expect from this little guy. He is very spirited and full of energy. He makes us laugh outloud and get totally frustrated all at the same time. Zach is a blessing and we love him so much!
