Happy Halloween!

October 31, 2013

Boo! It’s Halloween!!  I think this year is going to be fun because Maxwell “gets” it a little more – he gets the idea of trick-or-treating and dressing up and he definitely gets the idea of candy!  That kid has discovered candy corn and he’s a fan!  🙂

Unfortunately, we’re supposed to get some rain here tonight so hopefully we can get the parade and some trick-or-treating in before the weather turns.  Just in case tonight is a total wash-out, we went up to the little carnival at our church last night so the boys could get to wear their costumes at least once.  I attempted to snap a few pics before we went but, man, getting Spencey to sit still is impossible and getting them to both sit still and look at the camera? Not happening! Still, here’s a little preview of Halloween….

Isn’t Maxwell’s fire truck awesome?!  He loves it.  Spencey was supposed to be an elephant but given that it got into the high 70s yesterday and is supposed to get up to 80 today, we decided to make a last minute change away from the full body fleece elephant costume!  Throw on a football jersey, some squeaky AL shoes and a little eye black and you’ve got one cute football player!  🙂

Hope we get lucky with the weather tonight!

Cooling off

July 8, 2013

Back to reality today.  Post vacation is never fun but we had a GREAT time in Naples last week.  The weather cooperated and we had sunny mornings with some afternoon showers each day – perfect for beach and golf!  Pics later this week.  Also, Spencer officially became a speed racer crawler in Naples!  You put him down and he is off and crawling across the room!  We gotta keep our eyes on him all the time now!

From what I heard, it rained in Birmingham the entire time we were gone.  I wasn’t sad to miss that!  I think we’re back to sunshine and summer this week and I have a feeling we might be doing this again…

No better way to cool off on a hot day than with the hose in the backyard!

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th!  Back to work!

Weekend recap

June 17, 2013

We had a great Father’s Day weekend and were so happy to get to do some fun stuff with Dad!  On Friday we went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant.  Maxwell has started calling it a “mexaurant” which I think is awesome.  We go to a mexaurant pretty much every Friday night!

Saturday morning we hit up the Pepper Place Farmer’s Market…

and Maxwell loved having Dad at the pool with us.  He’s way more fun than Momma when it comes to pool tricks!

On Sunday Robert got some fun little Father’s Day gifts including a birdhouse painted by Maxwell himself!  We found the perfect spot in the tree…

and Maxwell was pretty proud…even if he did think bugs were flying into his ears!

Looks perfect!  Now we just need to see if a bird is going to come make it’s home there!  🙂
