Happy 3rd Birthday, Max!!


     On March 31, 2012 our Maxwell turned 3. He is such an exceptional little boy-proven each and every day with his actions, intelligence, and caring attitude. Max watches out for and loves his little brother so much. Sometimes Clint and I cannot believe how gentle and kind he is. We keep expecting him to one day just push Leo over or steal his toys (we wouldn't even be mad at this point, lol).  Now I know I am biased, but I am very proud of our boy and can't believe how much he can do at this young age. Happy Birthday Maxadoodle! We love you to the moon and back (and as much as all the trees and water and animals-he loves to play that game).

Max had a great birthday party. Our families were with us to celebrate and he enjoyed being with everyone. Here are some pictures of his party.





We decided to stick with the Mickey theme since Clint and I took him to see Disney on Ice.  He loved his cake and decorations.



Thanks again everyone for Max's presents. He is having so much fun with them. He loves to ride his bike down the sidewalk of our street.

His favorite present was a big gift from everyone- his new swing set! Daddy and Naps spent all day Friday and most of the day Saturday- with more help from Papa and Uncle Barry-putting it together. It is awesome! He loves it so much and we know know he and Leo will enjoy it for many years to come.



















                            Max and Drake had so much fun hanging out with Uncle Zach. He played with them for a long time outside in the backyard. Soccer, hikes, and on the play set. Max is really luck to have him for an uncle. Drake didn't want to say goodbye to him either!


                                         Leo had a good time with his family as well.




                                                    
                                               Happy Birthday, Max!!

Happy 50th Birthday, Mom!!

We had such a fun evening celebrating my Mom's birthday. She was born on March 30th- and now she has a grandson born the day before and the day after. My mom's party was in Toledo the weekend before her actual birthday. My dad planned a get together with some of our family and her friends at a Mexican restaurant in town that they like. We had a wonderful night celebrating. I love my mom so much and am very thankful for everything she has taught/done for me and also my family. Happy Birthday, Mom!!














This picture of Uncle Terry cracks me up! haha


Disney on Ice

For Max's 3rd birthday, Clint and I decided to take him out to see Disney on Ice at the Coliseum in Fort Wayne. He loves so many of the Disney characters- it was great! It is a lot of fun for us to watch him experience these new things.

The show was pretty cool. I think I liked it even more than Max, lol. There were fireworks a couple of different times that really impressed him, as well as Captain Hook of course. I really liked Little Mermaid and Lion King!







Max had to have a snow cone- I was excited it came in a Little Mermaid cup ;)
