We played in the pool in the yard, alot!!

We ate lots of popcicles!

We learned how to empty drawers and get into them!

Something we did not do this summer.....LEARN TO WALK!!!!

Maxwell is "ONE"

mid month post

Max had his first Easter. I made him a cute tie and shoes that he wore to church but I couldn't get him to hold still long enough to take the picture before church and after church he was too tired, so I will have to put it on him another day.

Max is always sticking his little tongue out, especially when he is crawling around. This picture makes me laugh. We were getting ready to go on a walk. It has been nice out on some of the mornings, but still a little chilly so he has to bundle in a bit.

My brother made me these sweet flowers for my garden. I think they are awesome.

We celebrated John's thirtieth birthday red neck style. I even made some camo cupcakes.
Our little redneck baby!!He wasn't too sure about eating outside.

But everyone else sure liked it. Even grandpa, complete with a toliet as a chair!!

All Cambree wanted was "cheese-pups". So cheese-pups she got!!

The last couple of weekends have been really nice out so we took Max to the park. He wasn't so sure about the slide. Not really his favorite thing!I would like to think that I am one of his favorite things though!!!

Ok, and his dad too!!What a cute little srunchy face!!

Max is starting to figure out where things go. He is always putting clothes on his head trying to put them on. He loves putting on hats and now he figured out where dad's sunglasses go. Its pretty funny to watch.

And in keeping with out redneck ways, we attened the lawn mower races out at the fairgrounds last weekend. It was hilarious. People really take this sport seriously. John and my brothers are already thinking about joining the fun next year. Oh joy!!

To end this post, here is a picture of our baby chicks. Yes we are proud parents of 8 chickens!! Lots of fresh eggs coming our way!!

Maxwell- eleven months

I can't believe the next post my baby will be turning one! Where has all he time gone? Max and I did get to do some fun things this last month, you'll have to scroll down to check them out!

Max and I went to Idaho and Utah to see friends and family the first week of April. This is Max's first experience with Cafe' rio! He loved is as you can tell, he is picking up his plate and licking it clean.

MMMMM, black bean heaven. He liked the beans more than the tortilla, silly boy.

When we were in Utah we went to the zoo with grandma and Max's cousin. They had a blast. Whenever it is too bright for Max he makes this scrunchy face, its hilarious.

We even got to ride the carousel. Max wasn't too sure about it. After the pictures were taken he wanted off the panda.

I also took Max to see his first movie, we saw HOP. He liked it 'till the last fifteen minutes then he was done.

The weekend before our trip to Utah Max and I babysat my sister's two kids for the weekend. We had a nice day so we walked to the park for some play time.

I dressed Max and his cousin in matching outfits then set them on the floor for pictures. It was too funny, they both started crying as to say ,"why are we in the same thing, we look so ridiculous?!"

But they eventually got over the fact that they looked alike and found plenty of mischief together. Here they are hiding behind the dvd tower pulling all the movies out. Those little stinkers.

OH, and this is the craft project I worked on this month, ok, it only took me a day to do. I found the frame at Tia Pan (one of my favorite stores to visit in Utah), and then just sprayed it black and added the embelishments. Now all my pictues of family and friends are displayed on it instead of all over my refrigerator.

We have a couple of birthdays coming up so be looking for next months post!!!
