But, as you can see in this picture, they can and are in constant motion. Makenzie even took her first unassisted steps last week!

1 Year Stats
The twins finally had their 1 Year Checkup today. Brayden weighs 21 lbs 5 oz (10th percentile) and is 32-1/4 in tall (95th percentile). Our petite little Makenzie weighs 18 lbs 6 oz (10th 
percentile) and is 30-1/4 in tall (75th percentile). They both have GINORMOUS heads in the 95th percentile. It is amazing that they can even remain upright with such big heads. But, as you can see in this picture, they can and are in constant motion. Makenzie even took her first unassisted steps last week!

Confessions
Yesterday after we went hiking in the Uintas, we stopped at Dick’s Drive-In for some dinner. Brayden refused to eat his banana and promptly threw his pieces off the floor. We didn’t have anything else to feed him, so I ended up feeding him some of my shake for dinner. That’s right. I fed my son ice cream for dinner! Something I never thought I would do. In just one short year I have found myself saying or doing many things out of necessity that I never thought I would do. They range from things I’ve done in the privacy of my own home---making my son wear fuzzy purple pajamas adorned with flowers and kittens---to things I’ve done in public---using the bathroom in Macy’s with the door open because even in the handicap stall, the double stroller wouldn’t fit!
Now it’s your turn to ‘fess up. I want comments from everyone (yes, even you Sonya!) telling me what kinds of things you have found yourself doing that you never imagined you would do.

Birthday Recap
Today was our first birthday! Look at the cute shirts Mom bought us.
Mom and Dad took us to the zoo to celebrate. The rides were LOTS of fun. The animals were OK, but kind of smelly. Maybe they should have taken us to Lagoon instead.
We LOVED our presents! The paper was just as fun as the toys inside. We even played together for a while. We can't wait to wake up in the morning and play with them some more.
Mom worked really hard to make these things, whatever they are. We didn't really groove on them too much. That's why Brayden immediately threw his on the floor. Mom didn't look too happy. She should've mashed them up for us. Cake tastes much better when it's mashed and smeared everywhere. Wouldn't you agree?

The Grass is Always Greener. . .
Why is it that the toy the other kid has is always better? Makenzie's favorite pass time now is pushing her brother off of this rocking toy. She will be perfectly content playing with something else until she sees Brayden on this. Then, faster than lightening, she makes her way over there and forces her way on. Poor Brayden. Look at his face. He's pleading with me to help and instead I am taking pictures.

10 Years!
THEN. . .
. . .AND NOW! 
Yesterday, Andy and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary! Many things have changed since we got married in 1998. Andy's hair is a little longer. Mine is a lot shorter. And straighter. Back then My Best Friends Wedding was the romantic comedy of the year and Ricky Martin made everyone's heart throb. Now its SATC and JT. The one thing that hasn't changed, however, is our love for each other.
OK. . .enough of the sappy stuff. I have a confession to make: We listened to Ricky Martin yesterday for a bit a nostalgia. And guess what? HE STILL ROCKS!

Our Trip to Texas
We just returned from Texas, where we visited my sister Sonya and her family. The twins LOVED playing with their cousins. (Bray really did have fun despite the look on his face. It's not easy to get 4 kids to hold still and smile all at the same time!)
It was a trip of firsts. Brayden and Makenzie went on their first plane ride. And Andy and I survived (barely)! But that's a whole different story. The twins also went swimming for the first time. 
Makenzie was a bit more adventurous than Brayden. She was excited the instant she got in. Brayden cried at first, but finally decided it was OK.
What fun! Thanks, Sonya, for hosting the entire Mildon clan. It was fun to have everyone together. We are counting down the days until Christmas when we can see y'all again.
