Happy Birthday buddy! love you lots!
I can't believe I am the mother of a 16 year old now! Zach is the BEST kid any parent could have, SERIOUSLY! he is a good guy, has a huge heart, always considerate of others and he is really funny, he is a very hard worker and overall just a great guy!
have to share some of these pictures since he was born, gosh I had the hardest time choosing which ones to share, I didn't have a great camera when he was young and didn't take great pictures but I am so happy to have them :)
Here he is at 6 months old
Here he is at almost 2 years old
and almost 3 years (had to share these two because he had changed sooo much!) look at those little legs!
and almost 5 years old
5-6 years old (how could I not share this one?!!)
9 years old
10 (almost 11) right after he killed his first deer
12 years old
13 years old (cute chubby cheeks!)
14 years old (8th grade graduation)
15 years (hey where did the chubby cheeks go?!!)
and another 15 (just a couple of weeks ago) he loves cross country and track
just last week (almost 16)
This is what Jim gave to Zach (yesterday) for his 16th birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH!!!

Oh, Leslie...your montage made my cry...our oldest will be 18 and I remember all those stages and phases your photos show. Thank you for that. I hope Zach is always safe in his new truck and that he drives like an old woman wherever he goes! LOL
Congratulations mom and Happy Birthday Zach!

Who is that man??? I love the photo when he was 11 with his dog. That is when I met him and knew one day he would become an extraordinary man. Happy Birthday Zach!! Love, Amy
