Zachary turns 5!!

I can't believe that Zachary is 5! His birthday this year was during swim lessons and the day before we left for Montana for the family reunion.

Zachary Ray McDowell was born at 7:27pm on July 14, 2006. He weighed 7lb 6oz and was 22 inches long. It was fun to have a boy, and was a big change from Having Madison who was 2 at the time and just getting into Princesses!

Zach is an absolute joy to have around. He often provides us with comic relief. He loves CARS (as in the movies.) anything with wheels and the occasional stuffed animal.
He will be starting kindergarten in a few weeks and he is very excited to meet his teacher and ride the bus!

Ready for the last day of swim lessons!

He loves diving board day!

Right after his jump!

Madison's turn on the board. Earlier that day she told me and I quote, "Mom, my nervous cup is getting full. You know that spot right here (pointing to her chest) that's my nervous cup and it's almost full." I asked her why and she said she was nervous about going off the diving board! After she went off 2 times she said that her nervous cup was empty!!! What a nut!

After her first jump!

Later that same day!

For his birthday dinner he chose pizza. Which was fine by me because that were no dishes and very little mess!
We had Shannon, Devin and the girls over for dinner and then we had cupcakes and homemade ice cream! Zachary also invited our neighbors Amy and Eli.

Before he opened his presents!

After!! He got a lot of the CARS 2 cars!! And Lego Batman for the DS!

Madison also got to open an early present. Aunt Nicole sent each of them a DS game. It was nice having them for the 2 day trip to Montana!

After dinner we had cupcakes and ice cream!

The end! It was a fun day and I think Zachary is glad to be 5!!!
