What do you get when you have 2 monkeys and a gnome???

A SUPER FUN NIGHT OF TRICK-OR-TREATING!!!

Tonight Max went trick-or-treating with his pals Landon, Nathan and baby Reid. The boys did some major candy getting tonight. They were so cute all dressed up and going up to random houses. At first the boys charged the doors and went into peoples houses. Talk about fun times, chasing 2 monkeys and a gnome through some strangers house =). Then they all wanted to play with every dog that they saw it didn't matter how big or scary they were. And well baby Reid had a lot to say so it was fun passing Max, Landon, the stroller and candy buckets back and forth between Haley, Becky, Timmy and myself. I love our sweet Haley and I have a ton of respect for how awesome of a mom she is. She just goes with the flow and doesn't miss a beat. At one point she was holding Reid, holding Landon's hand, carrying his trick-or-treat bucket and pushing the stroller (she might of been feeding Reid his bottle at that time too) You would think one doing all of that would have at least 5 arms , but our Mrs. Haley did it with only 2!!! I love you Haley and your AMAZING family!!!! And ooo sweet little Nathan made us all smile the whole time. Every time I looked at Nathan he had such a big smile and you could tell he was having a blast. There was even a time when the monkey head was covering his eyes and that didn't stop him from getting his candy. And that boy is not scared of anything. He loved all the decor and he really loved the dancing sing skeletons!!! Becky you are such a awesome mom and we love your AMAZING family so much!!!

I am so glad Max got to share this night with such great friends!!! Thanks Haley, Landon, Reid, Becky and Nathan for hanging with us =)

Halloween --- Life Group Style!!!!

So tonight we had our Life Group party and it was a blast. I love our Life Group family and all the fun we have together. Our house was packed with families that we love and cherish!!!! We are so blessed to be surrounded by such awesome people. Love all of ya'll tons =)

Halloween then and now

Now that Max is over a year old I am looking back at all his firsts and man he has grown up so much. THis time last year he could not sit up, talk, eat real food and he was toothless. So as you figured Halloween last year was not that eventful, but it was fun. He was our little cowboy, but I Tim has those pics on his computer so I will post those later. And now this year well he is running, talking, eating everything he can and he has lots of little white teeth =) My little man is getting so big!!!


We don't carve we paint!!!
We like to paint the baby too

Dixie our first kiddo 2009

GO! GO! GO!

Max has fallen in love with the PARK!!!! He doesn't care which park we go to as long as it has a slide. When we drive up to the park he starts to giggle and claps =) He is so cute when he runs around and climbs up the stairs. Then he goes down the slide head first and looks up at me so proud. I love these moments. Does anyone know how I can bottle these times up and save them for later????

Max loves the big boy swing!!!!
Slide Head looks better then Bed Head!!!!!!
GO! GO! GO!
Head first---- Max style
My boy loves to kiss everything!!!!

Happy Birthday Mommy!!!

So I wanted to give a shout out to my favorite mom of all times =)

Today we had my mom's ??th birthday and it was a blast. She is an awesome lady and I am proud and honored to call her mom!!!

Dear mom,

I just wanted to let you know that you rock as a mom! Over the years you have been there for me and I just love that I have an amazing lady like you to call mom. And I know that you did not plan on having a daughter as sassy, super confident and over all amazing like me (just kidding) but I am glad you got me because that meant I get you. Thanks for all that you did over the years. I am sure I was not the easiest person to be around most of the time growing up but you never gave up on me. You were always at the top of your game and I am the lady today because of all the wonderful things that you did for me. Even if I didn't like them at the time. Thanks for being awesome and happy birthday lady=) I love ya tons!!!!

LPC Fall Festival

What an awesome night it was with family and friends. Our church is so amazing and I love that my child can grow up in such n awesome church surrounded by an awesome church family. Max had a blast being all dressed up, riding the ponies and seeing all his friends. I loved spending time with my hubby and baby they are the best. And seeing our friends with their sweet little ones was so much fun!!!!

Halloween Hays style

Today Max along with a ton of other teachers' kids got all dressed up and went trick-or-treating around the school. All of the kids looked so cute and they had a blast.


All the staff kidos

Mommy and Max
Max wondering why his mommy would dress him like this

A floor . . . a bed its all the same

So I love how my sweet baby can fall asleep anywhere!!!

Every night we lay 2 sofa pillows on the floor in the living room and we cuddle until he is ready to go to bed. Then once he is ready to fall asleep he tells me go go which means lets go upstairs. If I don't get going fast enough this is what happens. He is fast a sleep in the middle and nothing could wake =)

Party Time!!!!

Well Max has been Mr. social and he has been partying it up with his pals.

Here Max was partying it up at his pal Landon's 2nd birthday party (thanks for the inviting me Landon)


You would think these kiddos were creating something super important the way that they are so involved

Spooktacular

Its Halloween and I am so excited!!!! I love the holidays and all the decor :) We can't do as much this year since well Max is into everything.


I made this a couple of years ago and well it looked cute then :)
Talk about the dinner guest that will not leave :)

Fire!!!!

Fire in the house!!! Wait no need to call the cute firemen :) Its just the first offical fire in my new house.



Man I love my new house and all the wonderful perks. This time last year as the weather started to change we were plugging in the space heaters not enjoying a wonderful fire in the fire place. I am so glad we are not tripping over space heaters and layering on the clothes to stay warm. Man now that I say it out loud it sounds really bad. It was a difficult and stressful time, but it made us a stronger family and it made us love our new home that much more.

Hairy Day!!!

Max got his first hair cut today!!!! My little boy was starting to look like my little girl so we took him to a fun kids place to get a little trim.

Before the hair cut

Not to sure about wearing the cape

Hey people it is raining in here!!!! (did not care for the water bottle)

loving the hair cut as long as he can fly his plane


This cape is not very hip so off it goes!!!!

Cape goes back on and now its time to show off those cute ears!!!

O my sweet boy has ears!!!! Now that he has his hair cut he looks a little older. And I think he inherited the hair cut mood from his uncle Beau!!! Every time Beau would get a hair cut he would become such a pain for a couple of days. And well my sweet Max has been well a less fun this afternoon then he has been. But who cares he looks so sweet!!!
