We went to the park with some good friends, and had a blast. Max, chased a pigeon for at least half an hour, and then ended up in the sand with Lexie and Bailey for at least a good hour! Good times.
Lexie, the little Momma - Always helping Max Me and my boy
Max, you love 'gemes', and especially Connect 4 with dad. You are so delightful and we are grateful to have you. Marin and I watched as supportive spectators - Max actually won while dad wasn't paying attention! You go smarty pants Max!
(non-stop harassment of love by the one and only brother)
Marin Lou, we love you! Five months old, now almost six - the time is absolutely flying. You and I laid on the bed this morning and you let me check out the little white buds that are about to pop through your gums - really? teething!? I am not ready for you to grow up. At your 5 month check up you weighed 17 pounds and were 27 inches long. Healthy girl! We are so grateful to have you in our family - you are our most beautiful asset!
Maricopa (have I ever told you how much I LOOOOOOOOVE Maricopa - I do.) had a business training program for small businesses that are local within Maricopa and Emery was able to be part of the first training. He graduated successfully - thank goodness! Cute story - while the Mayor was handing out the graduation certificates each graduate would come up, and we would all clap for them, and then the mayor would say a few words - well Max wasn't liking the silence, so every time the room got quiet again, he would clap and say 'Yeaaa'! The whole room got a kick out of it, and it soon turned into a fun graduation, not a drawn out long boring procession... way to make the night Max! We love you (and so does a room full of strangers!) Emery and the course instructor (name?)
Timeless love... I have never seen two people so in love...
Nana and Papa dancing while a movie from when their kids were tiny plays to beautiful big band music, and favorite oldies...
The sweet station! Papa loves him some chocolate!
Cotton candy in one hand, and a chocolate face to prove he's loving it!!!
Adam and Savannah dancing the night away!
Cutest story EVER - Bella was standing just outside the dance floor, looking OH so anxious to dance, she was looking all over to see if there was a free dance partner, her little hands ringing with anticipation, and then Emery came and asked her to dance, and you would have thought she was dancing on a cloud... the next day at the family dinner, she came up, tapped him on the shoulder to say 'Hi'! Cute cute memory. Thanks for giving the 'wallflower' a dance babe!
Grandpa and Max dancing
