Boo! Happy Halloween

Max was in the stroller but he wanted daddy to hold his hand

Our little Purple Monster!

Last year at Halloween.....my how he has grown!

We had a fun Halloween with Max this year! I did not realize how much he had really grown until I compared last year to this year. He is getting so big! We had 2 really cute costumes and of course I could not decide which one he was going to wear so we had to take pictures in both! First was the hunny pot costume which was adorable but a bit to "puffy" for Max's taste. We got some cute pictures but in the end, the little monster costume won! We went trick-or-treating with the Myres cousins and had a ball!

Back at the Pumpkin Patch...........

Max at the Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch with our playgroup and Max had a ball! It was cold and muddy but that did not stop us. He loved watching all the kids everywhere and everytime I sat him down on a haystack, he wanted to eat the hay :o)

Watch Out World....He is on the Move and he is Fast!

I think we have a budding chef on our hands! He always goes for the 2 wooden file boxes on the bottom of the Island where I keep some of my cookbooks!

Max the Laundry Helper......aka the Laundry Unfolder!

When we're helping we're happy and we sing as we go....for we love to help mommy when the clothes overflow! I think I folded this same basket of his clothes about 3 times :o)

Max the Builder......

Max loves to play with his Big Lego work table! I think he mostly likes to make lots of noise!

My little Ham! Sometimes his building projects require him to stand for long periods of time so he has to take a rest and sit down on his car!

Vacation continued....

Eric and Max in Flaggstaff - Brrrrr it was cold there!

B-day cake just for Max

We also celebrated Casey's birthday while in Vegas and Shea's b-day while in California. Lots of birthday fun!!! I can't believe Max is already one year old - 27 pounds - 34 inches tall and mobile! He loves to eat big people food with mommy and daddy, drink out of a cup/sippy cup, jabber jabber jabber, and move and shake all day long! His favorite words are momma and dadda but he is starting to pick up and say other words like more, no, yes, etc. and he loves to shake his head no! He is getting very good at letting us know what he wants or does not want and he is growing by leaps and bounds everyday!

And the Fun Continues!

We had a great time on our trip to Utah, Nevada and California to visit my family! Max got to meet some of his cousins and Aunts and Uncles he had never met before and he loved everyone! We went to St. George first to visit my dad and Marge, then to Vegas to see Eric and Brenda and their family and finally to California to see Darrell & Jackie and their family, Shawn and Laura, and Amy. We also got to visit with Jeff & Rachel Lewis (Gerber) and her family and Del and Ora Gerber in Utah. It was also great fun to visit with my friend Linda in Modesto who we had ot seen for a long time. It was a long drive but we had fun along the way, got to see some beautiful country, and Max was such a trooper in the car! I had not seen some of my family for almost 3 years so it was really a great trip.
