Zach's 1 year stats

At one year old Zach is:

Weight: 20lbs 14oz (25%)

Height: 30 1/2 inches (75%)

Head: 18 inches (45%)

At the time of turning one he was only taking steps...now he's officially walking :) He is babbling up a storm and will try repeating lots of words after you. He tries undressing himself when it's time to change. He's still in size 3 diapers....I know he'd still be able to wear 2-3's if I bought them. He's a little ball of energy that never stops! We love him....he's such a little entertainer, who wouldn't want him in their family!! Sorry, we'll keep him :) At this time he's a daddy's boy....he's sees daddy and gets sooo excited and leaps out of my arms...or gets to the door real fast and starts to dance some, so adorable. He's a happy, giggly thing that can make you smile at any given time :)

Forward Facing!!

The little guy is now forward facing as of this morning (Thursday). He outgrew his infant seat in height....he can still be in it according to his weight :) He was such a happy little thing when he realized he had new scenery!!!! He and sis can't make faces and laugh at eachother anymore since they don't face one another but I'm sure they'll find other ways to make riding in the car exciting. Don't worry, they can still hold hands....they think that's fun to do :) Our car seems a little bigger now!

WHAT!!! WHO IS THIS STRANGER!!!

IT'S JOEL ROCKFORD!!!!! We made a surprise visit to Joel's house on our way back from Aunt Melanie/Uncle Adam's a few weeks ago.....boy was he surprised!!! Joel and Jill have a son a few weeks older than Makenzie and a daughter that's about 5-6 weeks old now. Joel was the only one home but we had a great time visiting!!! He was one of my fantastic friends in college....he reminds me a lot of my twin :)

Painting Pumpkins

A few weeks ago we had pumpkin painting time with Jayden :)

Every Wednesday Kenzie helps daddy take the trash can back to the back of the house....she gets angry if she can't help!!!

Waiting for daddy to come home....they look like they're discussing something....

One of her funny, perplexed looks while watching finding nemo....she loves this movie!!

Birthday Dinner

Daddy took us to Chevy's for my birthday dinner....my favorite place...mmm...mexican food. We didn't tell them it was my birthday until we were walking out the door....so they went back and got me and Zach a sombraro (sp?)....the kids loved it!

Twinks 29th Birthday

Mmmmm....ice cream cake.....

I realized that there was only a 2 in my drawer so that's what on the cake!!! We act that age on our birthday's....but there's also 2 of us, so it works!

Morning at the park...notice Chris isn't in any of these??? He's at home, lovingly making homeade pizza :)

Giggling at eachother as they go down the slide and pop out :)

Uncle Joel chasing them!

Little guy enjoying the swings

Watching them play

Notice our shirts???? Joel's says "Trust Me" and mine says "I'm the evil twin".....

Rader's Pumpkin Patch - 2010

Ezra invaded the family picture to keep himself occupied and quiet :) Every year for Joel and my birthday, we go to a pumpkin patch with our families....it's a long standing tradition from when we were little :)

Kenzie felt the need to do the same :)

Ezra was passing out hugs to his cousins :)

Zach can't walk to well yet so he and daddy stayed back and entertained themselves while the rest of us picked pumpkins....this patch had the best little pumpkins but they were soooo prickly!

Found one!

Helping Ezra find the perfect one....

Watching the older kids on the inflatable tarp thingy....don't worry, he was happy with his cheerios :)

Watching the boys and our kids get tired out on the inflatable thingy.

Dirty tunnel time!!! If you're gonna go to a pumkin patch...do it right and get down and dirty!!!

They really didn't get dirty like I thought :)

Uncle Joel and Ezra's turn

Jumping into the haystack

Kenzie was a little unsure so daddy helped

Ezra didn't need any help!!!!

Watching the kids play in the corn.....and throw it at eachother.

This one makes me laugh....Ezra's right infront of the "Do not feed the animals" sign but you can't see the last part.
