Baby Zion isn’t a baby anymore, he’s officially a toddler. Yes, Zion Bleu’s nine month photo session seemed like only yesterday. Now this little mister is ready to take on the world. His mom and dad created the most memorable Mickey theme, full of bow ties, staches, and round ears. Zion’s mommy thought of every red and black Mickey detail imaginable. I mean her four girls were all mustache coordinated with red and white ruffles, along with some pretty rad red cowgirl boots. And…can you say baby swag? Zion wore mustache suspenders, along with a mustache beanie and shirt. Photo booth, Jumper, dessert table, and bubble show…umm I sort of wanted to be a kid again. All I can say is Zion’s parents can throw a serious party! Did I mention Zion’s parents do all of this with five adorable kiddies?
Happy Birthday Zion! You are as adorable as ever!!!

No, the parents aren’t really this short. This photo booth was set-up specifically to cater the height of the little ones. .jpg "zb12")

Here’s the deal. All of the trees that had a ribbon attached to it were ripe and okay to pick. Glad they told us that before hand, or then my applesauce would have been tasting like those candies you used to eat in Jr. High, Sour Apple lollipops..jpg "ab1")
Our first stop was a quaint little farm with the cutest country feel. Complete with a southern-style white two-story house, a red barn, and a fat old pig out back..jpg "ab3")
“Toss the worm-holed apples in the crates please. We don’t want them to go to waste,” said the ranch owner. Umm…if you mean won’t go to waste by feeding the wormed-apples to the pigs then okay. Well at least I hope that’s there plan. Ewww.jpg "ab4")
Of course he loved touching the “bad” apples. Ay, little boy!.jpg "ab5")

Caught red handed!.jpg "ab9")
Love..jpg "ab10")
This was the second location, which was much much larger then the first. That meant more photo ops! Yay!.jpg "ab11")
Seriously, I love him…but when I was potty training him this week I just had to keep reminding myself of how his cute face looks when he’s not driving me up the walls. I’m thinking….thanks to these photos, he is now successfully potty trained. . Ha! Ya, ya, ya! .jpg "ab12")
.jpg "ab13")
He is just too silly for words..jpg "ab14")
Can you tell he’s a photographer’s son?.jpg "ab15")
I love this story board the best..jpg "ab16")

Boys can dress up too!.jpg "ab18")
“Dada” working hard for our hand pressed apple cider. Seriously the best cold apple cider I’ve tasted and I love me some apple cider..jpg "ab19")

This one is my favorite. You are totally giving the look that I was talking about!.jpg "ab3")
You are just fierce here and I love it!.jpg "ab4")
Absolutely gorgeous, I tell ya!.jpg "ab5")
Okay, so she thought she was showing a little too much cleave here, but I still think she’s just working it!.jpg "ab7")
Go on with your bad self!.jpg "ab6")

I don’t think Mateo’s too sure about all this oily stuff they are dabbing on his head. Maybe he’s thinking, ” Are they basting me, because I sure could cook like a chicken in this weather.”.jpg "mb2jpg")
.jpg "mb3")
.jpg "mb4")
Aw, the proud parents..jpg "mb18")
.jpg "mb5")
I’m sure he was thinking, “I thought I was done?” After getting dipped, he continued to get more blessings. .jpg "mb6")

The proud godparents and family..jpg "mb")
.jpg "mb8")
This reminds me when my mom used to dress my sister and I like twins…except we were a whole three years apart. It looks much cuter on these brothers..jpg "mb17")
Kisses for grandpa. & Mateo’s big brother knew how to get the party started right. .jpg "mb12")
These last two images are my favorite. On the left Mateo’s grandmother is holding him, and on the right it’s his great-grandmother. .jpg "mb13")
