Catching Up (on the last four months)

Here is what you've missed . . .

May -
  • Zackary celebrated his summer birthday before preschool ended.

  • Received a certificate for successful completion.


June -

  • He was in a gymnastics class from January until June . . . this was the Exhibition that he participated in.

 

  • He caught his first fish . . . was very disappointed that we released it and didn't cook it for dinner!

  • He went to his first movie "Cars 2" which opened the day after his birthday!


  • He asked for a "honey cake" for his birthday, after much discussion and questions, I determined he wanted a cake that looked like a bee . . . he was very pleased!


July -
  • We spent the first week and half of July at our trailer at Somerset Beach Campground.  Zackary and I attended Bible School each morning and had a great time.  One afternoon he rode Misty in the arena.


 

  • He attended his first Detroit Tiger's baseball game with Pop-Pop, Uncle Brian and Mama.  It was 95 degrees that day . . . but we had fun!

  • We went on a carriage ride and we ended our day at Fort Mackinac.




  • Enjoying the sunset at the bridge . . . and throwing rocks in the lake!

Big Wheel 500 - Awards


The Story

The clown costume was made in 1976 for me for Halloween by my mom.  I was in kindergarten when I wore it but it fit Zackary really well.  It also has a hat but he wasn't fond of it, so I bought "clown hair" for him to wear.  He told me he liked the colors but he wouldn't even put it on.  I chuckled when I went to his school and the teacher told me they tried to get him to wear clown hair . . . like I hadn't thought of that!!

Dentist

On the first of November I took Zackary to the dentist for the first time!  He did great while Roxann demonstrated everything on his fingernails . . . . .






but when she tried to work in his mouth . . . it was a different story!


He finally let her polish his teeth.  It went all right for the first time but not as great as I had hoped.


The hat was Zack's contribution to his outfit!
