Mother's Day Weekend!

Moma, Poppy, and Uncle Dust came into town over Mother's Day weekend... and, bonus, this was Poppy's first time meeting Maxwell!

 

They had a nice chat about it.

 

Uncle Dust came with Mama to pick me up from preschool, where we all indulged in some Mother's Day cake...

Can't pose. Eating.

The next day, it was time for a golf outing with the boys.

Ready, Poppy?

Uncle Dust did not get the hat memo.

Fore! Cute boy on the course!

So get out your seat and jump around.

Beer break.

And it's no surprise that this happened.

Mother's Day! All dressed up and ready to go to brunch. Bye!

Mommy sure does have some adorable eye candy.

Arizona Family Shot!

And a Happy Mother's to Moma...

And a Happy Mother's Day to Gramma, too!

Gramma with all of her boys

Kisses from Mackey...

But Max says, "No more pictures, Mom!". (Daddy is on his side.)

Ok, just one more.

Time to go home!

Just keep smiling. Just keep smiling.

 

Thankfully, Poppy makes a great pillow.

 

Come back soon! :)

Ring Bearer: Part Deux

Uncle David and Amber are getting married next January, and guess who they asked to be their ring bearer?

 

Two thumbs point to this guy.

 

He also does bar mitzvahs.

We are so thrilled and can't wait for their big day! :)

Oh Happy Day!

Squirrel!

My Heart x 3

With these boys, I'm the luckiest gal ever. And with the littlest two, I'm one blessed mama.

Happy Mother's Day!

Well...

If you mustache...

It's real.

Every family walk...

Should have a superhero.

Smiles!

Springs Fire

Last week, our area was hit by the Springs Fire... thankfully, we never had to evacuate, but it was definitely a scary and anxious time around here. 

The day the fire started (taken from our driveway)...

The next day, it got much worse...

As soon as Jasper saw what was happening, he suited up and wanted to help the other firefighters in the area:

My 2014 calendar will come out soon.

"Daddy, can we go help?"

Nothing to see here, people.

Thank goodness for all the firefighters who helped keep us safe, including our very own mini-one.

One Month Old!

That's right! As of 4/29, this little guy is:

And here's what Max is doing now...

~At his one-month appointment, his stats were:

-10 pounds, 11 ounces (75th percentile)
-22 1/2" long (90th percentile)

compared to his two-week stats of...

-9 pounds, 5 ounces (95th percentile)
-21 1/4" long (90th percentile)

One super healthy, big baby! :)

~Mackey makes sounds that resemble a baby tiger, which always cracks us up.

~And he's still a squeak toy.

~He loves looking at faces and watching/listening to you talk. He also can track when someone walks in front of him or move his head towards a voice.

~Whenever Max sees me, he starts smacking his lips or sticking out his tongue... I am his milk dispenser after all. :)

~He's starting to play more and more. His newest friend - this penguin:

Maxwell loves him...

And, look, I did, too!

~Max enjoys tummy time and can hold his neck and head up for long amounts of time:

~Max hates burpies and will try to eat and/or throw them when you attempt to wipe his face. However, he does love to snuggle with them:

~He scowls, just like his Mommy.

~He is a big grunter when it comes to pooping, just like his Daddy.

~He snorts when he's mad.

~He giggles in his sleep.

~And he's starting to smile! The other day, Daddy was holding him, and when I came over to say hello, Max let out a huge coo and gave me an adorable toothless grin.

~He rocks a mohawk, just like Big Brother:

~And speaking of his big brother, they absolutely adore each other. Max loves to watch and listen to Jasper, and Jasper is beyond sweet with him - making sure his legs are covered with a blanket so he doesn't get cold, bringing him toys to play with, telling him "Don't worry, Mackey - it will be okay..." whenever he cries, and giving Max lots and lots of kisses.

~And finally, he does a mean Dr. Evil impression:
