Nighty night!
Outtakes
Happy Monday! And now for the funny 4th of July photo outtakes! Getting them all to smile and look the same way is just not happening these days…but it makes for some funny photos!
I first tried to get Spencer to sit in the rocking chair next to Maxwell…
But as evidenced by his pointing finger, he wanted to be in the other one!
No problem, now let’s all say cheese!
Spencer, look up here. Maxwell, lift your head up.
No, all the way up! Yea, that’s good! Yes!
Oh, now you want to hold Baby Mantha’s hands? Ok!
Spencer’s going for a salute!
Alright guys, let’s try for a close up. Give me some good smiles…
Good job Maxwell! Spencer, try not to look so strained. Ok, let’s try again…say cheese!
Ok, I can see you are clearly getting tired of this. Let’s try one last time…say cheese!
Ok, now we’ve scared the baby. Done.
Always an adventure with these 3!

Thanks for the clean car guys!!
Brothers
These two brothers are the best of friends…
and can fight like cats and dogs! They really play together now – and with that comes all the good and all the bad! There’s a lot of fighting over toys – mainly Spencer taking whatever toy Maxwell was playing with and not giving it back! Poor Maxwell, I feel like he’s always having to concede to Spencer because you can reason with a 4.5 year old to a degree but you cannot reason with a stubborn 2.5 year old!
That said, Maxwell’s not suffering. He may have to give in to Spencer some time but he’s still doing ok because he’s got a little brother that idolizes him. Spencer is just a little copy cat of everything Maxwell says and does…literally. It’s pretty cute. Maxwell loves to tell Spencer what to do and, even better, Spencer will actually listen…most of the time! ha!
They love to practice their ninja moves on each other. It’s all fun until someone gets hurt – and someone always gets hurt – but then they’re back at it 3 minutes later. I will say, Spencer is a tough cookie and he’ll jump all over Maxwell. Maxwell will scream like he doesn’t like it but I know he actually loves it. They’re a mess together.
I just hope they keep being best buds forever.
