Zachary's 3rd Birthday Party in IOWA

Zachary enjoyed two birthday parties this year. We were going to be in Iowa on his July 1st birthday so my mom volunteered to throw him a horse birthday party. Waking up on Grandpa's farm to birthday streamers.

Getting his present from Boagie & Grandpa: (video)

Of course, this party lived up to all the expectations my mom and I have set over the past 5 years. We make a great team, but this time she did most of the work!
Activities:
Shooting cans with a water gun

Hunting for the hidden horses and candy filled carrots
Throwing a snake in the boot
Hunting for treasure in the hay. (there were so many kids we had to have 3 piles of hay for 3 different age groups)
And the highlight of the party was getting a horse ride!


Boagie & Grandpa with Zachary on the horse. He really did enjoy it, although you can't tell from the pictures because he was squinting into the sun. These two videos prove that he did like it:





Horse Shoe Breadsticks
Sheriff cookies

The cake

Very cute video:




Grandpa isn't trying to push his face into the cake; he's trying to teach him how to blow!
Zachary really enjoyed opening his presents! The rest of us didn't enjoy the pesky gnats that were flying all around.
My little 3 year old! (all 23 pounds of him)
And of course, none of this would have been possible without our SUPER BOAGIE! Thank you for making my little guy's special day a wonderful memory! Your hard work, time, and energy are all appreciated! We all love you very much!

  1. Happy 3rd Birthday Zachary!!! Grandpa & I had so much fun helping you celebrate your birthday.

    Your mommy helped me with the planning also. She made the invitations & decorated the cake. Wonderful job on both! And your daddy, mommy, Aunt Joy & cousin Paige helped decorate and get all the games ready for your big day. THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP! (I couldn't have done it without you.)

    I think the favorite part of your party was Cowboy (the pony) everyone enjoyed riding him.
