Why We Love Zad

He loves bracelets, the rubber Lance Armstrong kind. This is how his wrist usually looks.


He also loves watches; he has four of them.

The other night we picked Ken up from the airport when he was returning from a one day business trip. He was still dressed in his suit. When Zad saw him he asked, “Were you at church?" Ken responded, “No.” “Were you at a funeral?” “No.” “Then why are you wearing handsome clothes?”

We were climbing Watchman at Crater Lake, and Ken had just told Jensen we were halfway there. But we were on the way up, so I explained to Jensen we were only half of half way there. She brilliantly replied, “We are a quarter of the way there.” Zad overhearing all this responded, “I don’t think so, it’s still a long way. I bet we are only five dollars there.”

For all his male tough guy, rough and tumble, shoot 'em up play he still likes to sleep with the light on, and we often wake up to him in our bed.

He'll play tea party and dress up with the girls. And he loves to dance.

He has a sound effect for everything.

For these and a million other unique Zaddock moments, we love him and life wouldn't be the same without him.

Happy Birthday, kiddo!
