Holidays in Ohio

Ok, now that we got all the costumey posts out of the way we can get to the holiday photos.  It was another trip full of firsts: first trip to Ohio as a family of four, Audrey's first Christmas, first time we all got a cold at the same time.  Yeah, not the ideal situation but we made the best of it.


Max got sick first and spent most of his time in his room, which meant Audrey had the monopoly on her aunt and uncle.


Hug time with Uncle Matt.


There were times when Max was feeling good and wanted to get out of the house.  If he had his way he would have spent the whole day in the garage talking to the cars and sitting on the mower.


Fresh air makes a guy feel better.


This little lady likes it, too.


Aunt Chantal impressed Max and Ricky with a Mentos and coke geyser.


Speaking of Ricky, he had no problem making himself at home.


Family photo (minus two dogs who, if you couldn't guess, are off to the left)



The end of another exciting day.

Vegas, Baby!

She's probably the shortest and chubbiest Vegas showgirl there is, but by far the prettiest.  Thanks Aunt Chantal for another costume!

Happy 10th Birthday, Ricky!

Ricky hit double digits today!  After a walk in the park and lots of fetch in the backyard it was time for birthday cake!

We sat on the floor with Ricky while eating cake, of course!  Audrey really wanted some and we had to keep moving her away.  


Peanut butter carrot cake with peanut butter frosting, mmm!  Yes, it's actually tasty for humans, too.

Christmas Photos

Look, a new banner!  It only took 6 months to get a photo of all three of them together.

Today we took some photos in the park for our Christmas card.  Here's just a few.





Are these two related or what?

Audrey, Six Months Old

Six months plus a couple days!  Audrey is a little mover.  If Max leaves a toy on the floor that she thinks is interesting (which is all of them) she will army crawl to it and give it a taste.  In the past week she has become really good at sitting up.  She's getting so strong!  She's also showing a lot more interest in Ricky now that she can get to him.





Yum, toes.

Max's 2nd Birthday!

It was a big day that started off with cookies for breakfast (after normal breakfast) and an hour of sitting on the front porch watching cars drive by.  He got out of taking a nap, much to mom's displeasure, but some things you can get away with on your birthday.

We had a little party and made Max his favorite meal for dinner.


Then followed it up with a tractor cake, which he was very excited about.


Maybe a little too excited.  He tried crawling out of the high chair to get to it.


It was delicious.


Then it was time to open presents.  He was over the moon!


After the birthday party he was treated to watching a movie on mom and dad's bed.  He fell asleep 15 minutes into it.  Pretty good way to end the day.
