Pole dancing at the tot lot

March 26, 2013

In between the rain last weekend, we made a little stop at the tot lot to get some energy out.  I took a bunch of great pictures but these have to be some of my very favorite pictures ever….you’ll see why!

Maxwell wanted to slide down the pole “like a fireman” so Robert decided to give him a little instruction…

“Grab the pole here, jump with your feet”…

Maxwell was a quick learner!  I looove the expressions on his face in all these pictures!

Robert then tried to teach him how to wrap his legs around so he could slide down…

Maxwell thought that was pretty cool!

Maxwell LOVED sliding down the pole just like the firemen do. “Do it again!”

Could you just die this picture is so cute?!

Just look at his excitement when he lands!  Too much, just too much!

While Maxwell was doing pretty good, Robert thought he needed a little more instruction.  And what better way to do that than to demonstrate!  🙂

Oh yea, that happened.  and I was snapping away as fast as my camera would let me!  🙂

Robert didn’t just demonstrate once though – there was a second time too!  My favorite part is Maxwell’s face in all these pictures.  Robert got major cool Dad points for his demonstration!

Even Spencer thought it was pretty funny!

Dapper dudes

March 13, 2013

My dapper dudes all dressed and ready for church on Sunday!

Yes, his pants are a little short.  I just can’t keep up with this growing boy!  Although, isn’t it high fashion to wear your pants a little short so you can show off your socks and shoes?!  ha!

Loving this picture of 2 of my 3 handsome boys!

See you tomorrow!

Birthday party!

February 26, 2013

This past weekend we got to go to a birthday party at the McWane Science Center!  Sam Brown (no relation) was turning 6 and we went to help him celebrate.  Robert and Sam’s dad, Keith, grew up together and Sam’s little brother, Luke, is Maxwell’s age.  It was a great place for a party!

Maxwell all ready to go…

Spencer with the birthday boy, Sam…

Holding on tight to the present!

We first went to a room where the kids got to see and touch all kinds of animals.

I let Robert handle the animals with Maxwell while I hung back with Spencie Wencie…

All the kids loved getting to see a tortoise…

a hedgehog…spiky!

a snake…

Luke had NO FEAR about any of the animals…especially the snake!  He was so funny trying to grab at all of the animals!

And, finally, a super soft chinchilla.  cool!

Afterward, Maxwell filled up on sugar…

and then we got to explore McWane for a bit…

Spencer wasn’t that impressed!  🙂

We then headed out to lunch where Maxwell tried to use his party favor – a train whistle…we’re still working on it!

It was a fun party!

Maskers 2013

February 19, 2013

Like last year, we traveled down to Montgomery this past weekend to go to the Maskers Ball.  Our niece, Anna, was a princess in it this year and we had a great time hanging with the fam “uh-gumry” as Maxwell calls it!

The weekend started off right for Maxwell with a new Thomas the Train book…

Spencer got a fun little giggle toy too!

thanks Lulu!

That night, Robert and I got all dolled up and left the kids with a sitter upstairs in the hotel.

We had a great night celebrating this pretty princess!

A few more pics from the night…

The next day we enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and went to the Maskers lunch…

and then snuck in a cute cousin pic before it was time to head home!

A fun weekend all around!

ps – want to know more about what Maskers is?  read my post from last year where I explain it a bit more.
