Come fly with me

Max is really into airplanes right now. When he hears or sees them in the sky, he gets excited and loves to point them out to me.

Shaun and I decided it would be fun to take Max down to a little airport and see some planes taking off or landing.

I don't think Max was getting that this plane on the ground was the same as the planes flying in the sky.

Here he is, looking adorable, waiting on a bench to see the planes take off.

He got his chance.......

AWESOME!!

We also got to see this beauty

The guys working on a harrier. We didn't get to see these bad boys take off. This is the only airplane that can take off vertically like a helicopter. We did get to see a helicopter take off though. A bright yellow one.

Max hanging with daddy

Then some cousins came and joined us!

As you can see. Max loves his cousins.

Max also found some sprinklers to play in. I would say it was a fun day for my little guy.

It was a good day for all of us . :)

We have another little airport close by to us. It has planes taking off and landing frequently. That will be are next place to check out the planes.

Caught on Camera......unaware.

When I first saw the pictures below. I starting laughing. Out loud. I found them to be hilarious! Let me explain what's going on. Max's cousins, Beauwin and Ireland, invited us to their birthday swim party. To have a swim party there must be a pool.

Max loves the water and has no fear. The moment he sees the pool, he's dead set on making his way to it, not skipping a beat and walking right off the edge of the pool into the water.

The photo's below are of me, trying to carry our swim bag to the table. While trying to hold on to Max and save him from plummeting himself into the water without someone there to help him.

I was unaware that I was having my picture taken. I would've smiled. :)

I'm almost to the table. Then I can put the awkward swim bag down.

Swim bag down. I'm really not as unhappy as I look in this photo. Max is still trying to be released from my arms.

Here I am, still trying to control Max with both hands now.

I had to change him into his swim diaper and swim suit. That was quite an obstacle, getting him to sit still for a minute, so I could change him.

finally, Max can be in the pool. Sheesh!

Dogs worst nightmare

Maybe, this is what Boston and Baxter are seeing, when I hear them whimper in their sleep sometimes.

Crafty

I made this COLOR book for Max. I have a lot of scrap booking stuff and it was nice to put it to use. I only used what I had. There's a few things I want to add to certain pages.

The good thing is. Max loves it! Which makes me really happy. I would be so sad if he didn't. I brought it to church with us on Sunday. Max played with it for about 20 minutes!! with my help of course. This is a miracle! My little guy doesn't like to sit still for a minute. He likes all the hands on touching he can do and play with on each page. I put some of the things on the outside of the plastic cover for this reason.

I'm in the process of doing some other books for him as well. Numbers, ABC's, and a church book.

YELLOW is Max's favorite page. He loves the Yellow bus. When I go walking in the morning. I meet Whitney at her house, where the school bus picks up the kids. Max loves to see and hear the bus. He also loves the car on the BLUE and RED pages. He points at the car on the page and says, "car" over and over. He loves to point it out to me.

Some of the pages have balls on them. I don't know if they're too small, or he hasn't really seen them yet. He loves balls.

Shaun, Max, and I were at Seagull Book yesterday. They have a bunch of pictures with Basketballs and Footballs on them in the corner of the store. Max was obsessed with these pictures. He kept running over to them, going from one picture to the next saying, "ball" pointing at one picture and then the next. He would even sit down in front of the pictures and stare at them, then point at them and say "ball" over and over. Shaun and I were getting a kick out of this. He's so funny.

Happy Birthday to Shaun!

Happy Birthday Shaun! His birthday was Saturday. We went to Famous Dave's, Shaun's favorite restaurant. He loves that place. He loves it so much that I had to get him some of their famous BBQ sauces. He got 2 Sweet & Zesty, 1 Rich & Sassy, and 1 Georgia Mustard.

He also got a gift card to seagull book. I know, big surprise to those who know Shaun and his love for books. ;)

Let me tell you how much Shaun REALLY loves Famous Dave's BBQ. It all begin on a shopping trip to Costco. Famous Dave's was there, with their slow cooker, giving out samples of pork, with their BBQ sauces. They were selling bottles of the BBQ sauce.

As I was shopping around, Shaun was gone sampling. When he makes his way back to me, he has a 23 pound pig shoulder and a big box that held a slow cooker! 23 pounds of pig with a slow cooker! ummmmm?! Shaun? What are you doing with those? He insist that he needs them, with all the Famous Dave's BBQ sauces! hahaha! Seriously?! Shaun makes me laugh! He was sold the moment he tasted the Famous Dave samples.

The funny thing is, Shaun and I love the sit-com King of Queens. I think Kevin James is hilarious! Sometimes, Shaun reminds me of him in the show. This was one of Shaun's "Doug Heffernan" moments.

I had to try and convince Shaun that maybe we could first, save up for a slow cooker. Then buy some pork, not 23 pounds worth, and go from there.

We still laugh to this day about it, and will continue to laugh about it. Because at the time, Shaun wasn't happy that I thought a 23 pound pig shoulder was a little much to be "experimenting" with, especially, because we don't have a slow cooker and we don't have the money to buy one.

He did get a bunch of Famous Dave's BBQ sauces that day, that I can handle. The 23 pound pig shoulder and slow cooker? We'll stick to going to Famous Dave's restaurant for that kind of a thing. ;)

Happy Birthday Shaun! Thanks for always making me laugh! Max and I love you!

Singing in the rain?

More like, splashing in the rain.

Here's uncle Rick, taking Max out to splash in the rain puddles. I love when it rains. We need it here in the A.Z. We get some really cool lightning, thunder, and rain storms every now and then. It's really incredible. The lightning storms are the best! Monsoon season is amazing.

I find it really funny, that sometimes we'll have a rain storm, then 2 hours later, there is no sign that it ever rained. It goes right back to being in the 100's with extra humidity from the rain.

Water play date

I've started a water play date at my house on Tuesdays from 9 to 11. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner! It would have been nice through the summer. The kids have a great time. We have 2 kiddie pools, one with a slide going into it, and a sprinkler going on the grass. The kids splash around and the moms chat. Here's some pictures from our first water play date.
