Logan - 2 months old!
Check him out! He is sitting up and holding his head very well! Logan is also cooing and smiling all the time. WE LOVE IT! He is starting to make the transition to 3 hours between feedings...and he still loves to sleep on his belly. According to our scale he weighs 13.5 POUNDS! Zach only weighed 12.5 pounds at this age. Logan fits nicely into size 3-6 month clothes.

Smarter than you think...
The stool has little rubber non slide pads on the feet, so it won't "slip" on the hardwood floors (enhancement added by Dustin). This makes it difficult for Zach to push the stool where ever he wants. Zach was so determined to get that stool over to the pantry to get his fruit snack that he FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU PUT NAPKINS UNDER THE STOOL LEGS THE STOOL GLIDES EASILY ON THE HARDWOOD FLOORS! Our TWO YEAR OLD figured this out on his own. He got his own napkins from off the kitchen table and put them under the legs of the stool. He only managed to get 3 of the 4 legs done...and must have gotten bored, tired, or sent to bed before he finished.

Zach's Valentine

4-Runner hits 100K and makes Zach sick to the stomach :(
On the way back from dropping off the chassis I realized we were about to hit 100K miles on the 4-runner (Not bad for a 10 year old Toyota!) so I grabbed the camera and took a quick picture as the odometer hit 100k.. My Dad (obviously un-nerved at seeing me taking pictures of the dashboard while going 65mph) said, "Why don't you pull over and I'll take a picture of you pointing at the odometer reading?" I said back to him, "nah its no big deal, I just figured Jen would like a picture for her scrapbook".
Not even a second after I said that we heard "BLAAAAAAHHHHHH... cough cough.. BLAAAAAAH".. Yep, you guessed it.. Zach threw up all over himself and the back seat. I guess there IS a limit to how much McDonalds Orange soda a kid can drink on a trip.. Needless to say.. Dad got his wish, I pulled right over, we cleaned up Zach and Dad took a picture of me next to the odometer which still said 100,000 miles! Pretty memorable moment I'd say! :-)

Monster Jam = Big Smiles for boys! :-D
Here are a few of the Monster trucks we got to see during Monster Jam 2o1o.. The green one was Zach's favorite.. Grave Digger! He even has a small one of his own that he hauls around the house with him.
Is that not the cutest smile? He was so happy to see and hear everything around him.
Whoohoo! Smash'n cars! AAAAWWWWWWEESOOOOOMMMEEEEE!!!
Here is one of many Motocross jumps from the show.. These guys were crazy!
Sweet jump! We saw plenty of monster trucks jumping these cars.. What a blast
It was pretty common to hear Zach go "Whoa!!" or "Tractor!!" throughout the show.. This picture made me laugh though.. I caught Zach saying "Woah" and almost losing his candy in his mouth.. way funny.
And you wonder why he said "Woah"? Poor Grave Digger flipped over on his last jump of the night! But you can see the driver to the bottom right of the picture waving.. Just another day at work! LOL!
We'll be back again next year! Who can resist a good monster truck show!
As we were walking out, Grandpa and Zach spotted this Maverick Big Rig.. Zach had to see it up close.. it was a sweet truck!

Our healthcare system
This is a statement from our insurance company for Logan's hospital when he was born (just the hospital stay). The hospital charged $5104.54 - the insurance says no...we will pay our negotiated rate of $1203.41. The hospital says okay. That is a difference of $3901.13!!!

Man Project
Zach sure LOVES having his own stool. It gets dragged all around the kitchen. It works as a chair....

Mmmm! Pop Rocks!!!
Zach had never seen this kind of candy before.. (but most of you probably have!)
In fact.. some of you are probably already thinking back to that time in grade school hanging out with your friends drinking soda and downing entire packages of pop rocks! Right? Ok.. well at least that's what Dustin was thinking about tonight when he pulled the package out of the cabinet. Pop Rocks = Fun!
When Dustin threw in the first spoonful, Zach heard **Pop!**Pop!**Pop! and his eyes got huge! He started to giggle.. and lunged for the spoon.. After that I'm sure you know how things went down..
Dustin and Zach were laughing like crazy and making crackling noises in eachothers ears.. Pretty fun.
