Vegas/Thanksgiving part 1

So excited to be heading to Las Vegas for the week!!!  We all wanted to be together this thanksgiving and Tanner had a big football thing in Vegas so we all thought it would be a ton of fun to go on a family vacation and go and watch him.  My parents got all of us a room at the Palms hotel.. (which I was so impressed with what a clean, kid friendly, beautiful hotel it was) anyway, they got each of us a room for our Christmas present for the week.  Amazing gift huh!!!

Before the trip they took these clowns on a cruise to Mexico and had a ton of fun.  Alexis was on cloud nine the whole time and and had so much fun.  I hope I will get a bunch more pictures of the trip so I can post them  

I guess Alexis and Tessa did a ton of swimming in this pool!

This was Ryan and the girls walking to the hotel and they were looking so cute holding hands but of course the picture didn't turn out or show how adorable it really was. 

The bathroom was huge and I thought it would be nice for Max to kinda have his own room while we were there so he slept in the shower at night.  My aunt Becky thought it was pretty fun that we put him in there, but it worked…..

I love this picture of Adi and Summer together.  I think she just pouted for a second because someone passed her and made her fall off of the sidewalk but it only took a second and she  was over it.  

Max in Alexis's cute hat that she got in Mexico.  He is so dang cute!

We all went together and raced at a fun little bumper car place and it was so much fun.  The kids loved it and they were great little drivers and the adult kids loved it also.  

Ryan took first place out of all the Adults!  He is a stud muffin!!!!

This was at Tanners game.  How cute is that look between my two favorite boys?  Max loves his daddy!
I could not believe what a good boy Max was the whole trip.  I kinda worried about naps and taking him places, but he didn't fuss or get upset when he needed naps.  I am so thankful to have a baby that will just go with the flow and not have to have a crib to nap in right when they want it.  (kinda like my girls ALL were)  (they loved nap time, but only on their terms)  All the kids were great and we all had a ton of fun together.  but….. to be continued 

Sunday Best

Who said that boys are not fun to dress?  How cute is my little man in his Sunday clothes?  I can not get over what a handsome little boy he is.  

And this  is where he gets all his great looks from!  His daddy is so handsome it takes my breath away!!!!

I love to see my two boys together.  They already have such a strong friendship and are so cute together.  Max always wants his dad if he is in the room and has so much fun playing with him or will just sit on his lap and hang out with him.  

Almost every morning when Max wakes up he is soaked from head to toe.  We have not found a diaper that will keep him dry at night and it is so annoying.  But it has become a routine that every morning these three take a bath and they all love it.  Max loves the water and could stay in it for a least a hour. 

He is the cutest little poppa smurf ever.

I set my tree up early this year because I knew we were going to be out of town the week of Thanksgiving and I knew when I got home from our trip I was going to be tired so I just put it up before the trip. I felt really bad because Alexis wasn't home, (she was on a cruise with my parents) and so I put it up without her this year.  She always loves to help decorate and is always the one that pushes me into the mood of putting it up.   All the other kids helped me out a ton and were so cute putting it up with me.  

As you can see Adison loves the tree and wanted to take a ton of pictures next to it and do a bunch of cute poses for the pictures.  She is my little model. 

little cuties

These kids have my whole heart.  I can not believe how much I love all my kidos.  They are so fun to watch and play with.  Wouldn't it be nice to not have to worry about cleaning or cooking and just be able to hang out and play with them all day long.  Some day's I try and play as much as I can, and it is so crazy how far behind I get on everything else.  I love how much my kids all love Max.  He is so dang fun right now and just makes us all so happy.  He even knows when he is cute, or funny, and when we are all watching him do something new he will even clap for himself.  he has started to walk and can walk across the living room.  He has been walking along the furniture for a while now but he just keeps getting braver.  He even stood up all by himself in the middle of the room a few times. 

Fish face.  Adison is so sweet.  I love that she is so confident and hope that is how she will always be.  I am such a bad mom some days and don't do anything with our hair and she will still say, "Mom, don't I look beautiful?"  And when I tell her she does she will say, "I know!"  She is so beautiful inside and out and I love that she knows that.  She is such a smart girl!!!

We all love to get max out of his bed when he wakes up.  He is so happy to see us and such a sweet boy when he wakes up.  He has started to try and jump in the crib a little, but most of the time he just plays in it and hangs out till we go and get him.  (most of the time he is filling his pants with a surprise that is very very smelly)  

Max loves his blue teddy bear.  

Every time we come home and drive past this little mountain in Downey the kids ask if I will stop so they can climb to the top.  I don't always stop because there is usually someone asleep in the car, or I am in a hurry to get out of the car.  But this day was just an easy going day so I stopped and fulfilled their dream of climbing to the top.  

Adison loved it and wait that she was elsa and she had made those stairs with her powers and that was her mountain.  She has been telling people about her mountain that she lives on and that she went up it last night.  

Oh boy, you turn your back for just a few minutes and this boy is in the bathroom, or in the cabinets or into something fun.  

But how in the world can you get mad at a face liker his?  He is so dang sweet I just want to eat him up and kiss him all day.  I have found that when I am holding him I can not stop kissing his head.  Now when I say the muuha sound he know that it means kiss and he will turn and  give me a great big open mouth kiss.  I love it!
