Put on a Happy Face

Stick 'em Up

Max decided to help me make dinner last night. Good thing he brought his six shooter to shoot any mushrooms that got out of line. When he wasn't pretending to shoot the food, he was stealing it and shoving it in his mouth when I wasn't looking. He's a real outlaw. Check out the awesome holster (or gum belt as Max calls it) that Max's uncle Jason made him for Christmas. It goes with him everywhere - even to the bathroom.

A Beautiful Day

Ryan, Max, Evie, & I went to the Temple the other day to walk around, look at the flowers and enjoy the beautiful weather. We had such a nice time. What you don't see in the pictures is Evie spitting up all over Ryan and I and Max throwing the camera case in the reflection pool. Everything is an adventure with kids!

Mr. Social Butterfly

Max decided today that this dining room chair was in fact not a chair, but his friend. Now he asks us politely to please not sit on his friend. He hugs it and talks to it too. Just a side note - he hates other kids! Maybe they talk to much. His friend the chair doesn't have that problem.

Autumn At Last

Can you believe it?! Our stupid tree in the front yard finally decided to drop its leaves - in the middle of January! Well, at least we had a good time playing in the pile of leaves. And Ryan had an awesome time cleaning up the mess.

Evie's First Food

Evie had her first delicious dinner of rice cereal on Saturday. Here it is for your viewing pleasure!

Good Idea

Max has started doing some funny imaginitive play lately. He's spent the last few days in this plastic tub as a pirate reading a piece of garbage for a treasure map. It works out good for me. We're potty training right now and I'd like it if he stayed in that plastic tub until he's an expert at it. Our landlord would too.
