Wednesday Chris and I had a rare date at Big Barn Harley's Bike Night.  There was good food, a band, and more bikes than you can imagine.  Randy & Jenny and Craig met us, and a great time was had by all.

Tonight after we got home from Great Grandma Palmer's for dinner, Zach wanted to climb the tree in our front yard and "be a monkey".  It was pretty adorable to watch, especially since he had orange cheese all over his mouth from Cheetos!  I know I say this at every age, but 3 is so fun!  I love watching his imagination grow and his "play" evolve.

Friday night Zach insisted we eat at Smokey D's and sit on the patio.  It was a great night for it!

Thursday night Zach had his first Wee Ball game.  He had so much fun and did a great job.  I got to be the 2nd base coach and my mom captured a couple of adorable pictures of Zach and I together on the field.  Thanks to everyone who came out and watched the chaos!

Wednesday night Zach played outside with the neighbor-boys from across street.  They wanted to teach him how to throw and catch a football.  They were so patient and gentle with him; it was absolutely adorable to watch!

Zach had a great time handing out May baskets to the neighbor kids last night.  His favorite part was running away after ringing the doorbell.  Having such a sweet 3 year old makes everyday feel like a holiday!

Zach is playing Wee Ball in Altoona this Spring.  Tonight was his first practice.  It was absolutely adorable to watch 10 3-year-olds run around the field and play together.  Zach had a blast and can't wait to do it again. 

Below is his game schedule in case anyone needs a laugh and wants to watch the chaos on the field.  They play at Lion's Park in Altoona and his team wears yellow jerseys and are the Rays.

Today Zach had his first dentist appointment.  We didn't have to be there until 9, so I took him to work with me for an hour.  He was so well behaved and met and charmed everyone at Pioneer.  At the dentist, he was surprisingly brave and went back by himself and let them clean and polish his teeth.  The dentist told us Zach has excess saliva which causes extra tartar and calculus to build up, but that his teeth and gums looked really healthy and to keep doing what we are doing.  Here he is showing off his healthy teeth.

We had a great night being outside.  Tony and Zach had a Koolaid break, and we got out the sprinkler to beat the heat since it was 89 degress today.  Zach HATES being in wet clothes, so he stripped down.  It is going to be an awesome summer.

Four wheels move the body.  Two wheels move the soul.

I am glad my boys can bond over their shared love of motorcycles, but I am a nervous wreck the whole time they are out of sight riding around the block!

Zach still isn't 100% sure about sleeping in his new bed, but he loves sleeping under it in the "fort"!

Tony got invited to the Ankeny Prom by a girl named Jessica he met a few weeks back.  They came over for a few pictures.  She was very nice and great with Zach, and Tony looked so handsome in his tuxedo.  They had a great time dancing the night away.
