my tickle pickle...

When Zachary was born his name took on a life of it's own. We started out calling him Zachy Packy. Then it turned into Zacher tacker...which is kinda like tickle(I know...it's not at all!) which rhymes with pickle. So right now Zach is my Tickle Pickle. Well, my Tickle Pickle turned 5 today! I can't believe he is 5! Zach holds a special place in my heart. He is my cuddly bear. He is my only kid who loves to curl up right beside me still!

This year Zach requested a batman birthday! We only do friend parties on even birthdays so even though it is a family party I tried to do everything batman. Do you know that Wal-mart doesn't carry a single batman toy? Unbelievable! This is a picture of his batman cake that I made. I just used a piece of wax paper and cut the bat shape and laid it on the top. He loved it!


Zach is 5!


After opening every present he would say, "Wow, this is AWSTHOME!" (he still has a little lisp)


Plotting his birthday wish!


I don't think he ever figured out that his brother was helping!

Always so creative, I wish I was there. He is getting so big! Time just goes by way too fast. If I had known he wanted a batman birthday a few weeks ago I totally would've made him a batman cape for his birthday!

It seems like yesterday when Zack was born. Mike and I have been living back in St Charles for 5 years now. Time sure flies! I love that batman cake. When Mike and I have kids I'll definitely be coming to you for cool cake tips. You always make the neatest cakes.
