The birthday posts begin…

August 26, 2013

Whoa! WHAT a weekend we had! Maxwell’s 3rd birthday party was on Saturday and it was SO FUN! The weather was beautiful (if not boiling hot!) and the fire station tour could not have been better! It all made for one very happy almost 3 year old. I was so proud of him and his brother all weekend. There was a LOT of stimulation and they both acted so sweet and nice the whole time. I have so many pictures (took 576 on Saturday alone!) so am just going to get started. We’ve got a lot to cover the next few days – birthday party, first day of school (today!) and actual birthday. Get ready!

Here are my boys on Saturday morning before the party all decked out in their new Firetruck shirts!

I guess Maxwell was channeling Gene Simmons here…ha!

He then wanted to squeeze Ya Ya’s cheeks the way Robert and I do!

Please tell me you just sang this in your head!

We’ve had two little countdowns going for the past week. One for Maxwell’s THIRD birthday next week and one for his PARTY this weekend!

Needless to say, he’s pretty darn excited!

I’m just wondering when my almost 3 year old got so tall?! Look at those long legs!

Weekend recap

August 19, 2013

First, Happy Birthday Jen! Hope it’s a GREAT one!

Second, hope you all had a good weekend. Ours was nice with fantastic temps in the 70s on Saturday! We had tons of rain on Sunday which is no fun but I’ll take that over the heat. Our weekend went a little something like this…

Spencer looked cute…

and then got to wear shoes for the first time! I used to put shoes on Maxwell all the time when he was a baby but I’ve literally never put them on Spencer’s feet until Friday. But, I think I want him to wear shoes to school so he needs to get used to them!

He wasn’t quite sure about them at first but then got used to them. I think his little fat legs look so cute in them! 🙂

Speaking of shoes, Maxwell got some new shoes for school! Zappos delivered 3 new pair on Friday…

Maxwell loved them all and kept running circles in the house saying “these make me fast!”

Unfortunately, his new shoes didn’t keep him from falling Saturday morning while helping Dad in the yard. He bit it on the concrete and we had to patch up a scraped leg and elbow with some band-aids. It wasn’t all that bad though but he was a *bit* dramatic about it! Skinned elbow = traumatic I guess! By that afternoon he had fortunately made a full recovery and we took a field trip to Bass Pro. Robert needed to get something and it’s always a fun place for Maxwell to explore…

That night we grabbed some pizza and Spencer got to sit in this retro high chair…funny.

Sunday morning things were looking good and we headed to church…

And then, when leaving church, Maxwell once again bit it on the concrete and ended up with knees that looked like this…

Ouch! Can’t blame his new shoes on this though because he had on some old ones. Poor, poor buddy! And, once again, he was quite dramatic about the whole thing…
