Finally someone who can keep up!

Keb and Baker came for a short visit this past weekend and the boys had a blast!

The last time they were here was the weekend Max started walking, so for Baker, he was still a little boring. Now that they can run and play in sync it is a whole new world! The chaos is multiplied for the rest of us though! Anything Baker did Max would try to do-it was a blast to watch and I really wish they lived closer. Max would be talking in a week if he had Baker around! Even just since they left he has changed-he tries to imitate our words a million times more now than before and I attribute it directly to Baker and Max's adoration of him. Fascinating!

He LOVES the tire swing and as a mom I can say-Keb, you are brave! It made me nervous to watch. But his face says it all!

Maybe a little scared but having way to much fun to admit it...

Thanks for visiting you guys-we miss yall and always look forward to your visits! (Baker-Max has been wandering around Nonnie's house lifting his hands and saying "huh" in each room looking for you!-Come back soon!)

Just a bunch of fun

The following is just a random mix of things I found cute and felt the need to share.

Enjoy!

Above:104 degree temp-still too cute!

Below:Just a swimmin. He was blowing bubbles and kicking just like a big boy!
Below: His first experience with sidewalk chalk. It goes like this-draw a line, move to another spot, draw a line, repeat...then get in trouble for trying to draw on the car-BAD!

Above:first fully successful self feeding of spaghetti-this mess is to be ignored, the fact that a majority made it into his stomach is what makes this a success! And if you can't tell-he was quite proud!

Below:Very sleepy, just waking up, am now full of milk boy!

Below: Just cute!

Above: Reading before bed-why should mommy always be the one to interpret the books?

Below: Jammies make the boy SUPER cute!

Above: Wrestling with mommy-I am pretty sure that move is illegal! (and painful!)

Below: Tickle tickle!

Birthday fun

Little Miss Abby turned 1 and Max got to attend his first REAL birthday party...this is how it went...

"Hi Abby, I like your toes." "Thanks Max, but do you really have to touch them?"

"Dad, how come Abby gets to sit way up there and I am not the center of attention?"

"This is what it is all about!"

~Quite happy to be the Princess~

And this is what the Boy would rather be doing during a all girl, pink, Abby Caddaby birthday-digging in the dirt with the pink spoon he was given and the Abby Caddaby paper cup he stole!

Such a guy!

A few more firsts...

We finally got around to bringing Max to the park for the first time. He was...shall we say...less than impressed. He loved the wood chips on the ground but the swing-coulda been a tourture device and the slide=eh=so-so. But I took all the necessary "first time" photos and then we moved on.

I am so Blessed!

Cody and my sisters live to antagonize each other! A family tradition is to work through Lent making smash-em eggs. You poke a hole in each end of an egg and then blow out the contents as you use them-like for scrambled eggs. (this obviously doesn't work for hard boiled!) Then you dye them the same as always and finish by stuffing them with confetti. On Easter you "try" to be sneaky and you smash them on everyone else. Cody REALLY gets into it! So-he pretty much owned my sisters!

All of us sisters!

Lizzy and Audrey

Gracie and I

The camera makes them do strange things!
Dang sisters! We are FINE! I really do have the most beautiful sisters!

Me and the hubby! Its been 3 years, 5 months and one baby and we still seem to like each other ok! lol!

I am so Blessed!
