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.

Audrey Photos

Ross worked last weekend and took Max with him which left us ladies at home to snap a couple photos.


It's so nice to have a model that doesn't move much.  She stays in one spot and looks cute and I take pictures.  It's so easy! 

 I know it won't last much longer and catching a moment will be more and more challenging.  A couple weeks ago Max was having a peaceful moment looking out the window with a stuffed bear.  I tried to sneak up and take a picture.  I got caught but snapped one photo before he put the lens cover on the camera.

Not what I planned, but I did capture Max being Max.

Audrey's First Solid Food

"Audrey's First Time Having a Spoon in Her Mouth" or "Audrey's First Time in the High Chair" would be a more appropriate title for this.

She actually did pretty good and even swallowed a couple bites though she would have preferred to have the spoon to chew on without the rice cereal.
