March

It seems like a lot went on in March, you know enough that kept me from blogging and sharing any pics of my children, but looking back, it was just a big mess of everydayness I guess. We are busy people!

The first of these pics were all that was on my camera for the first part of March. You'll notice most of are Max. Mc is on the move and has his own agenda these days. Max on the other hand is NEVER far from my side and is ALWAYS cheesin it up!

night night routine = bath, pjs, find blanket, find sippy, go a lil crazy on the couch and then he is out. He doesn't get fussy, he doesn't fight it. Follow the routine and all I have to do is ask him to get his blanket, pick him up, and he starts waving bye bye to Poppa and Grammy all while blowing kisses. I carry him upstairs while singing Twinkle Twinkle, as he "sings" along, lay him in his crib, say "Night Night", walk out, shut the door, and see him in the morning!

stinker

SUPER MAX

this is his dancing super hero pose

jumping super hero pose

CHEEESEEE

PARK TIME

These boys LOVE the park. So much so, that Mommy has told a wee lil lie, or a million, that the park is closed at some points during EVERYDAY. Now Mc asks, "Mommy, is the park closed?" In my defense, the lie is usually used when its dark, rainy, muddy, or bedtime. Believe me, we get our fair share of park time!

Mc is offically a lil boy :( no longer needing Mommy's help

Max on the other hand, still wants me right there by his side

Mc is a social butterfly.

Pete and Repeat.

Sweet Max waved to every person leaving the park

This grin is one of my most favorite things in the whole wide world!

but its tied with the giggle that comes with it!!!

The boys were invited to a very special lil lady's 1st birthday celly, Miss Ellie!

We loaded up and went to Yukon to see E celebrate her 1st. The boys were pretty good, a mess at times, but overall pretty good. The boys are soooo blessed to have special people in their lives like the Feisals. We see many play dates, tailgates, and hangouts in our future!

Once again, Mc off doing his own thing while Max is cuddling with Mommy!

I love lil boys in baseball hats!!

especially ones with dimples and a grin like this!

Miss E puttin on a show

But couldn't take her eyes off of her Poppa Howard

February Happenings

Yes, I know, its May and my title has February in it. I am hoping to keep up with the boys' blog a little better now, but for now, better late than never.

Since its months past due I'm just gonna unload the February happenings in pics and let ya have it....

Actually the first few of these were from the first snow storm at the end of Jan, but the Feb storm is here too....

Maxer rockin the hawk

Mc's first sledding experience

He pretty much just wanted to be pushed around in the sled

Uncle Chris obliged

He did fancy spinning tricks...

And refused to walk back, so we had to go get him

He made snow angels

and snow castles

(notice the details of the perfectly placed twigs on each castle)

Max wasn't down for the snow. He throw a fit just getting dressed to go out so he just hung inside napping and cuddlign with Grammy

But he looked cool doin it

the february storm was a lil ridic...

Mc couldnt walk in it and it was freezing, our outing didnt last long this time

Valentine's Day treats make Max HAPPY

for some reason this reminds me of his Uncle Chris??!!!

the beloved "puppies"

(little did we know that these lil mini pups would be his fav thing, even today)

Happy Heart Day CHEEESE

The Boys' first Circus!

Max was very impressed with the lights

Cannot believe how fast this lady painted kids' faces

Cutest Tiger EVER!

Max the puppy and Mc the Tiger

Max was oblivious that he had his face painted

In awh

So happy and content with his popcorn and on grammy's lap

Before we pulled out of the parking lot to head home.....

and this one....

Less than five mins later! They loved it and it wore them out....PERFECT!

Mc's 3rd Bday

On McClain's actual 3rd birthday we took him to Chuck E Cheese. He loved it. Max thought he was participating in the games by pushing the coin return button. Both boys hated Chuck E. Overall it was fun, but I was glad that we only had our boys to keep up with!

Afterwards we went back to the house for cake, ice cream, and presents. We had a few more guests join there. Mc LOVES presents but the only thing he would tell us that he wanted for his birthday was cake and candles! Over all the boy got more toys than we know what to do with and had a blast. He loves to tell people he is 3. This took some convincing. He insisted that he was 4 for weeks, but finally gave in the weekend before the big day.

This ride should have had seat belts. Max lasted about 2 seconds before he wanted out and Mc about 10.

Max wanted out of this one too, but Mommy tortured him and made him stay in. "THIS IS FUN!"
Haha.

Mc warming up to the rides and games

Mc insisted that he play this bowling game. Then got board after 2 rolls and Mommy had to finish the game so we could get tickets. You know the tickets that won us a tootsie roll, sucker, and a fake snake.

I love it when Mc takes his big brother role so serious. He is helping Bubby get on the slide.

They played on this the longest.

We didn't have to put any tokens in the games for Max. He was content to pretend play everything.

I'm pretty sure Mc won ;)

Pretty sure there weren't any tokens used here.

Poor Bubby.

Chocolate. That's the only kind he wanted. But he called it "chocolate milk kind."

So excited.

For some reason he does this when people sing Happy Birthday to him. He did it at his 2nd as well.

CANDLES!

Presents!

Max in his own lil world with a ball and woody.

FATMAN!

Max ate the most cake and ice cream of anyone at the party.

Mc "sharing" and playing with Aiden in his house.
