I feel sad today... although it hasn't really hit me yet.

I grew up with his music and I've always loved him.

I'm really going to miss him.

Our Water Baby

Gramma Pat sent Max some swim diapers that she made herself. We took a few pictures of him in them. They are perfect!

Max seriously LOVES the water! I’m so glad. Swim lessons are going well. We’re at the point where he is pretty comfortable going under water. Next step: floats!

Max’s and his walker…

Grandmother bought Max a walker and he LOVES it! He’s really good at maneuvering in that thing! Thank you Grandmother!

On Friday, Kelli, Myranda, and I took Mia, Sophia, and Max to Splash Park in Tempe. It was tons of fun. Max loves his lady friends!

Cool Dude!

Last week we took the metro link downtown to watch the Diamondbacks-Padres game. Of course the Padres dominated! :) It was really fun! Max had fun watching the game too but really liked the lights and music most of all.

Haircut

Can’t even tell, can you? I think it looks great… especially in the second picture…CREEPY! haha! :D

1 down 4 to go!

 

I have 5 close friends who are having babies this fall. So I have 5 blankets to crochet! I just finished this one for the Marquardt’s baby girl last week. Next blanket is for the Thorson’s baby boy!

LITTLE COUSINS…. as cute as can be!

Sheilia and Justin came to stay with us since they went to the Jimmy Buffet concert. Stephen and Max were able to spend a lot of quality time together! :)

Porch Pool

We bought Max a little pool so that he can cool off in the hot AZ weather whenever he wants. He loves it!

Max, what were you doing in there?

So this is what you were doing all that time in Mommy's tummy...

SuRpRiSe!!! Happy Birthday Mike!

10k in Cottonwood

We did it! We ran a 10k in 1hour and 2minutes! Not that great but we did it! Yes, we ran the whole time. Only sissies walk! :D just kiddding! We drove 2 hrs up to Cottonwood. It was really beautiful up there, perfect running weather!

There I am finishing the race with my race wave. It was so funny cause Mike and Max were waiting for me about 200 yards before the finish and when I reached them, I started to sprint. So Mike starts running along side me, pushing Max in his non-jogging stroller, trying to get a picture. People started cheering for Mike and Max and Mike was embarassed as he tried to explain the he wasn't racing. Too bad I was too fast and he couldn't get a good picture of my finish! ;p

Here comes Soin!

Yay Soin!

We did it!

Tired and sweaty. That's water on my shirt by the way...

I think one of my favorite parts about racing is all the cool stuff you get. This race was by far the best. There was a snow cone machine, pasta with meat sauce, cookies, granola bars, and of course the bananas, apples, and oranges. But a snow cone machine?! That's so awesome!!! Anyway, here's Mike and Max hanging out after the race. It was Mike's birthday, by the way. We a gorgeous birthday man!

There we all are.

We went to lunch and walked around the cute little town. Here's our precious boy.
