March

He loves his bottle still.  He doesn't ever want it unless he wants to go to bed.  

He was being silly and kept making me laugh.  

He is saying.  "where is max?"  "there he is"

You can't really see it, but he has a little doll shoe in his  hands and he was getting so mad that he couldn't get it on his foot.  

Elizabeth wrote this Limerik at school and we laughed so hard when we read it.  When we were at the cabin we watched a few seconds of the History channel  and it was about a spider that was killed by the female spider.  

Max loves balls.  He was so excited when he saw this ball on the shelf that he climbed up on the chair and grabbed it all by himself.  He was so proud of himself.  

More cuddles with his big tiger.  

Elsa!

Max had his first ice-cream bar.  He was so happy and didn't want me to touch him.  Num num

Adison is starting to have little friends and play with them cute.  How did she get so big so fast?  

Chris had his surgery and everything went well.  He had some dead bone in his leg that they took out and they re-broke the bone so it will heal straight and then put the hardware in and got it all figured out we hope.  He said he is already feeling better and is on a couple antibiotics.  He had to get a port to his heart for one of the meds and then a iv for the other.  The hospital and insurance company will not let him go home with the meds that he has to be given twice a day so he gets to stay in a rest home for the next six weeks…… he isn't happy about that and after going and seeing it I wouldn't be at all either.  The staff is rude, the beds are a joke and so thin and he said the food is sick.  I don't know how he is going to last six weeks.  After I have a baby I want to leave the same day.  There is nothing better than your own home and your own bed.
I just pray that he gets better fast and is back to normal.  This whole thing has taken a year and is just so crazy.  I wish this never happened and that he could just be whole again, but we are all praying that after this surgery that is what he will be soon.  Never take your body or your health for granite.  

read a good book

We have been going to the library a lot more and the girls are loving it.  Brytlee was so into her book that day she couldn't put it down.  She read the whole thing in just two days.  

Max loved the toys and we built a cool tower for him to knock down.  

This is Brytlee that night not wanting to put her book down.  I was telling her to get her teeth brushed and it was like she couldn't even hear me.  I love when they get into reading a good book.  

Bear lake tournament

I was a little nervous to take all the kids over the the Bear lake tournament because I knew it was going to be all day long and that they would get tired.  But they all did great and had a lot of fun cheering for their big sister.  I was a little surprised how well Max did and how happy he was even though he didn't get a nap.  

He looked like such a big boy sitting with Brytlee.  

Adison took this picture and I had to laugh.  I am not sure why he is making that face

We went to a park for a hour in-between games and Elizabeth got some pictures for her Idaho History scrapbook.  

At the game we found a fun place to keep Max.  he loved to play peekaboo with the curtain.  

We had another hour to kill so we went to Arctic circle and let them play on the toys and eat some ice-cream.  I thought that they would be so sick of basketball and want to stay home the next day, but hey all wanted to go and do it again.  We didn't have to stay very long and only had one game because they lost.  They took 3rd  place, but could have taken first.  dang

Max loved the slide and was so brave.  It was the first time he has ever gone down the slide all by himself. 

this and that

Crazy hair day at school.  What is more crazy than a wig?  (and easy and fast)

don't you love it when this happens?  Our kids are in charge of feeding the animals and sometimes stuff happens.  

He thought he was so funny to have gotten his arm out of his pjs.  

when he gets out of his bed we always change his bum, play "where is max?" and then he gets up and grabs his big tiger and puts it on my lap and then we cuddle for a long time.  He is so cute

Love his kisses 

He loves to get all the balls up the stairs and then throw them back down again.  This is something her really could do all day long.  He is getting really good at bringing them up one by one. 

Elsa saying "Freeze"

We went out to see dad at work.  He wanted to join in and work also

I love his snuggle.  He does it when he is shy, or scared or just needs to snuggle.   I thought it was cute that Ryan and Max were wearing the same color of shirt.  I tried to get Ryan to take it off for a photo op. but he passed. 

If Ryan is eating or sitting down at the table Max almost always runs over and has to sit on his lap.   

She wanted to take a bunch of pictures.  She is such a model

I can just hear his cute little laugh he does when he gets excited about toys.  He is so happy and loves to do his little laugh.
