Zachary's First Birthday

The cousins helped Zachary celebrate his first birthday. All his friends and family met at the local park for a full day of fun consisting of jumping in the bounce-n-slide that Daddy bought, a Transformers pinata full of candy, birthday cake, more sugar, more sugar, presents and the taco lady! While it wasn't La Tolteca, fresh made tacos certainly hit the spot.


Matt really enjoyed himself on the slide and swings at the park. He was full of energy and ran the length of the park atleast twice with Loretta tailing him. Ashley really whacked the pinata and was able to collect an entire bag full of candy. Kate made fast friends with the other kids and was a great helper with Zach. I wonder if Kate thinks Zach actually belongs to her now? And Michael (without Tonya who was working) looked a little frazzled keeping up with two wild girls.


Zach had a great nap that morning and was wide-eyed throughout the whole day. He allowed everyone to hold and kiss him despite Dad's worries of swine flu. And Zach certainly enjoyed his birthday cake.

James' Lolo and Lola (Grandpa and Grandma) really enjoyed spending time with Matt. Lola said (with accent) "Oooh my! He is a big strong boy!" He almost weighs as much as Lola... well not quite! :) Actually they said he was so beautiful and hope to spend more time with him very soon.

Here are more pictures of the whole day:
