Old friends in B’ham

June 20, 2011

We had a jam packed weekend.  Father’s Day, a visit from GJ, crawling on all 4’s!  But, first things first.  Let’s start with Friday…

Do you know how fun it is when your best friend, who lives about 8 hours away, calls and tells you that she’s going to be in your town in only 3 days?!  Let me tell you – it’s FUN!  Hannah and her family and some friends were driving to the beach and Birmingham was the perfect place for them to stop for the night.  So, I got to have their whole crew over for dinner and playtime in the backyard.

This is Joshua, Hannah and Ryan’s little boy.  He turned two in May and is a bundle of energy…

and just about as sweet as a boy can be.

This is Owen, Megan and Marcus’s son.  He will turn two in August and is such a little love…

and does his best to keep up with Joshua!

These two boys have a blast together.  They even got into a little game of one-on-one while they were here!

Owen tries to play defense…

But Joshua quickly takes the lead…

He lines up his shot…

He shoots…

He scores!  Joshua then turns to Owen and says “That’s how 2 year olds do it!”  🙂

Maxwell loved watching the big kids from the comfort of Sarah’s lap (Sarah is Megan’s cousin)…

There was a lot for Maxwell to see!  Joshua played with trucks…

rocked on the elephant…

and got spun around and around by Sarah!

Owen was having fun too on his dad’s shoulders…

Maxwell loved all the attention and got plenty of love from Hannah…

Megan…

and Marcus.

Ryan tried to give him some love but it didn’t…

go…

so…

well.

Ha!  Don’t worry Ryan, Maxwell loves you…even if he didn’t act like it.

One of the funniest parts of the evening was to watch how Joshua and Owen reacted when their moms had Maxwell in their arms!  They’re not used to having to share Momma…

But, luckily both boys ultimately decided that Maxwell wasn’t so bad…

and there was plenty of Momma to go around!

It was a fantastic night with old friends.  If only this old friend could live around the corner….

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

Robert, you wear many hats around our house…

Lawn boy

Resident comedian

Handyman

Dishwasher emptier

Financial planner

Griller extraordinaire

But your most important hat is the one you’ve only been wearing for 9.5 months.  You’d never know you’re new to the job.  You’re a natural – evidenced by the fact that Maxwell’s eyes light up and his dimples come out in full force when you come home from work.  We’re all lucky to have you and are grateful for all the hats you wear to take care of us.

In honor of Father’s Day, Maxwell wanted to put on his favorite hat and send you a little message…

Happy Father’s Day!

June 17, 2011

Maxwell is such a lucky little boy to have Granddaddy, Daddo and Granddad in his life.  He only wishes he could see you all more often.  Since he can’t be with you in person today, he wanted to send you a little message…

Father's Day

We love you all very much!

Father's Day

Maxwell also has a very special message for you, Robert…but you’ll have to wait until Sunday to see!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Splish Splash

As I mentioned on Monday, I picked up a little plastic pool at Wal-Mart this past weekend.  With the constant 90 degree temps, I thought it would be a fun way for Maxwell to cool off. I think he liked it…but I also think I could have just let him play with the hose and saved myself $10!

A few more favorites…love the one in the middle!  He quickly learned not to get that hose too close to his face!

And, as always, the best part of the pool?  After pool hair!!

Vroom Vroom!

June 15, 2011

In honor of Father’s Day this weekend, a few pictures that will make Daddo very happy!

Maxwell HAD to have a racing suit…he is Daddo’s grandson after all!  🙂

Fingerprints on the car…not sure how happy that picture will make him!  Sorry Daddo!  🙂  Maybe these next two pictures will make up for it!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments
