Summer Lovin'

Here are a few too many pictures of our summer so far. We have had a great summer and are ready for the fall which is my favorite season. We are extremely busy for the next few months and I will try to get a post or two in on my not so busy days but don't plan on it, and then when I do put a post up, you will be so surprised and excited. So in the words of my amazing hubby right after we got married and had our first fight...." Honey just don't have any expectations and you will never be angry or disappointed in me :)!!!"

We visit daddy at work often, it is one of Max's favorite places to go!!!
This is a new face Paul taught Max, he has named it ..."The Stink Eye"!

And the Dr. visits begin again and won't stop for a few months, oh how I despise the 1-2 day trips to phoenix, only to spend every waking minute either in a hospital, Dr. office, waiting room, or driving to and from one of those places.

We went to Phoenix for yet another Dr. appt. but took some time to enjoy our family and went to the children's museum. Max absolutely adores his cousin Brooklyn and lights up whenever you say her name or he sees her, or a picture of her. I am so grateful for family!!!

The Stink Eye again!!! he was making pizza with dad and I asked him to say cheese for the picture and this is what I got. How do you not just fall in love with this boy every time you look at this face. It is impossible not to on most days.

They had this huge tree house you could climb up in all different ways Paul loved it as much, if not more than the little ones did.

LAKE TIME!!! Max adores the water he can't get enough of it. He is a natural and is definitely in his element when swimming. He is my little fish and is amazing for just learning how to swim. He can already swim better then most 4 year old I know!!!

He also loves the dirt... but what little boy doesn't!!!

You will have to excuse his hair. Paul has gotten it in his head that he wants to dress Max as Joe Dirt for Halloween, so he wants to grow his hair out into a mullet to make the costume complete. I am not sure exactly why I am going along with this experiment but I think it has something to do with the fact that Paul doesn't ask for much and I secretly want to see my little man as a redneck Joe Dirt in a wife beater and cut off jeans, with a mustard stain on his shirt and combat boots pulling a red wagon to put his Halloween candy in :)!!! you have to let your kids entertain you somehow right!!!

We went to St. George and got to spend some time with an old friend of mine and her daughter Oakleigh, who is only a month older than Max!!! Max needed to apologize for doing something mean to Oakleigh and he apologized by giving her a kiss. Mandi and I thought it was too cute so we may or may not have encouraged them to kiss a few more times for pictures sake. Hey don't judge me it was adorable and made for a great picture and now max has that awkward first kiss thing out of the way for when he is 25 and decides he wants to kiss another girl!!!

He is such a daredevil with no fear... haven't decided if it is a good thing or bad. I think a little of both. There were a few other kids there that day at this pool, two of which were a 4 and 6 and not one other kid but Max would jump off that little ledge. I think I have my hands full!!!

He has discovered it is fun to try to walk in high heels. He makes me laugh and giggle daily, I love this boy!!!

4Th of July celebration at the city park with dad!!!! There was horses and food and Max got sprayed by dad in the fire truck!!!

My Studly hubby being so careful with the American flag. There is something about a man in a firefighter uniform holding an American flag!!! Wouldn't you agree?

I love watching my husband in action. He is so respectful and careful and loves his job and our country!!!

Earlier this Summer we added a new member to my side of the family, Alexis Jane Smith became Max's cousin officially on June 16th 2010 and we are all so excited to have her. With no chance of her ever being taken away she is in for a wonderful life and couldn't ask for better parents. Jaimee and Jon will give her such an amazing life she would not have had other wise and she will have such fun cousins to play with forever and ever. This is Max at the court house the day her adoption was official. I hope we soon have another day just like this with baby Tanner!!! We love our cousins!!!

TA DA!!!! Max and dad often play with the camera and take many many many pictures of themselves. and every once in a while there is one that is so cute and turns out well enough to grant it some blog space!!!

So that is our summer so far there is a lot more I could post but that is the gist of how our summer has been so far. So in the words of? " IT'S FALL Y'ALL" I am so excited for the leaves to change and for the best season of the year to begin, cool crisp air, chili and soup, corn bread, hot cocoa, apple cider, pumpkins, fall home decor and my most favorite thing in the whole world it is fall fashion time. I just adore shopping for clothes in the fall season they have the cutest stuff!!!
