Adventures
I have this folder in my iPhoto just called “adventures” and it’s where I keep the picture some of the fun things the boys have gotten into lately, like…
A trip to the Farmer’s Market…
Watching the boom truck pick up Mr. Mike’s branches in front of the house…
Watching the city bus that broke down right in front of the house get towed away…
and exploring the woods in Jasper, AL.
Always an adventure around here!
Buddies

Flippin good time!
First, Happy Monday!
Second, Happy Birthday to Uncle Keath!! Hope “Natenelaney” spoil you today!!
Third, I signed the boys up for gymnastics this year and they have been loving it! Maxwell is in the “3 All Me” class that he does by himself while Spencer goes to the “Tumble Buddy 2s” with Susan. They always come home worn out and covered in stamps they got for doing what they are supposed to do! I think it’s been great for both of them, not only to get energy out, but to learn how to follow directions too.
My friend Rebecca takes her girls at the same time and sent me these fun pictures from 2 weeks ago…
Fun stuff!
Party!
We had Maxwell’s birthday party at the house last weekend on the Saturday 9/6. I had really wanted to try and do it at a park but Maxwell insisted on having it in the backyard and I’m glad he did because it turned out great. While he originally wanted the party to be about all rescue vehicles (police, fire and ambulance) we convinced him to just go with a firetruck theme (much easier on me!).
The big treat? Getting this giant firetruck bounce house delivered at 7am!
To say Maxwell was excited would be an understatement!
And to say he was excited about taking pictures in front of the bounce house would be a lie. 🙂
But, he obliged for a few and made me happy.
We got the backyard all decorated with balloons, set up two bubble makers and brought out plenty of shovels and buckets for the sand table…
Then we waited for all of his friends to show up! We had a great turnout with about 18 kids plus other special guests Susan and Barry, Lulu and Granddad and, of course, GJ and Daddo!
After the kids had worn themselves out playing in the blazing hot sun, we brought out the cake (which was from Olexa’s and was FANTASTIC)! Of course Maxwell’s best buddy, Lila, was standing right next to him as everyone sang and I don’t think anything could have made his birthday better! 🙂
But then Cecily wedged herself in between Maxwell and Lila and I was laughing to myself as I watched Maxwell give her the evil eye! ha!
He got over it pretty fast though and happily blew out his candles and then everyone enjoyed a big slice of cake!
A fun, successful, hot 4th birthday party in the books!! Happy Birthday Maxwell!
