3 years old!

Max celebrated his 3rd birthday on June 15th! He had two great days of celebration. These pictures are out of order, but I'm too lazy to try to fix them right now. Max was excited about every present he got. I absolutely loved watching every moment! What a cute boy!
We got Max a pinata for his birthday party with his little buddies. He was smacking it to death and every other kid seemed confused. It was hilarious!
All Max really wanted for his birthday was a Buzz Lightyear and Woody cake. He loved his cake! He kept saying, "Mom, can I just have a teeny tiny bite!"
We made strawberry cupcakes for his birthday party. He is such a slow eater that every other kid was done about 10 minutes before he was!
Mikey and Carson sporting their pirate patches. We played the fishing game and the kids all seemed to enjoy their prizes!
Here he is trying to smack the candy out of the pinata.
We also went to Chuck-E-Cheese on his birthday with the grandparents, but I didn't get any pics. He was scared of the singing characters at first. I think he was nervous because it was so loud in there! He got over it though...

Max got so many great gifts from everyone, he was very spoiled! Now he keeps saying, "When is my next birthday?"

Camping Time!

Mike had some time off this week so we decided to take Max camping up Cedar Canyon Campground. We had a great time! Here the boys are enjoying some delicious dutch oven potatoes!
Here is our lovely camp site. We were really close to a cute little stream, and Max loved throwing the rocks in the river!
Here is our tent. I know I look lovely, but Max looks cute making 'Spiderman hands' and shooting his daddy with webs.
Here they are drawing in the dirt. Max loved everything about camping and kept telling us "I really love camping! I love to go in camping guys!"

He constantly refers to Mike and me as 'you guys!'
This is the little stream. It was right behind our tent so we could hear it all night long. Luckily, we were really close the the bathroom. Being pregnant and camping doesn't mix unless the bathroom is nearby. You don't realize how much you use it until you don't have the comforts of home!
Mike bought Max this cute little camping chair. He was very 'cintin' (excited) that it was 'just his size.' He is seriously the cutest kid ever, I'm not biased at all either!
His face was like this the entire time we were camping. We went on a 'chikmunk' hunt and saw a squirrel that was nice enough to let us stare at him for a long time. Max loved it, and since his birthday is getting close he kept telling us that the "chikmunks were having a party with cake and a pinata." He also made me sing them happy birthday a million times!

We love it when Mike is home and we can have fun adventures!

Summer update.

Cassie's b-day cake! Happy Birthday Cassie!

We haven't posted lately because we have been spending a lot of time in Spanish Fork with my family. Mike has been traveling all over the country helping his teams, so instead of staying home alone, I crash at my parents house.  Mike was supposed to come home yesterday, but decided to go to Boston and North Carolina this week instead. He has been gone for almost two weeks and we are missing him, but having a great time here. 

This week both Cassie and I celebrated our birthdays. I am 27 now and she is 24. Wow, time really flies when you're having fun... I watched an old high school cheer video last week, and it just made me giggle. I thought I was so mature then.  It was fun to reminisce. 

Max has been running around like a maniac since we have been here and has been consistently sleeping in until 11 or 11:30 every day... I'm not kidding. He still goes to bed at 8:30 or 9, but he must be getting really worn out. I keep checking on him to make sure that he is alive. 

I just realized that being pregnant isn't really all that fun. My heartburn has been kicking in a lot more, and my poor little feet are starting to feel swollen. Pregnancy does not suite me, I'm not a cute little skinny pregnant lady, and I'd like to avoid seeing anyone until it's over:) Ok, so I'm a little dramatic, but that's how I'm feeling right now. I am excited for the babe though. Only 15 more weeks. Sounds like a long time, but I'm thinking it will go by quickly with all of Mike's business trips and my trips up here. 

That's pretty much it. A random assortment of details, I know:) I am random by nature! 

Pool Party!

Mike and I bought Max this cute little pool yesterday and, although the water was freezing, Max and his friend Mikey dove in and played until their little lips turned blue! I love the warm weather!

Look at my cute babe!

My cute sister-in-law Brooke took these pics of Max for us yesterday. They turned out great! Thanks Brooke! You can find more pics here on her photography blog.

Private

I feel like I need to go private. I have been getting some weird comments from people I don't know, and it just creeps me out a little. I have no idea who reads this, so leave me your e-mail if you want to check in on us every once in a while! Anyone we know is welcome!

Max was right!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
