Camping!

We went camping up Cedar Breaks last weekend and we had a blast. On the way up the puppies were just snuggling Max. It was so cute!
Look at my cute little boy! He loved seeing the fire, roasting marshmallows and hot dogs and seeing the stars!
It got pretty cold while we were up there and although Max actually slept well, I was freezing most of the night and especially in the morning. Max looked at me and said "let's go home mama, it's sooo cold!"
My favorite part of the whole weekend came after we finished eating, Max looked up at me and said "Mom, you're awesome!" It melted my little heart. I love that kid!
Max loved exploring our little campground. He kept saying, "Mama, look at the big trees and trucks!" He loved that we brought grandpa's truck with us!

Shay and Brett's Wedding Cake

For those of you who care, here is a pic of the cake I made this weekend. Many hours were spent on this cake. I hope the bride loved it! I don't think it will ever get easier, I am a stress case!

Back in Cedar!

After changing our plans 50 billion times (I know I'm dramatic) we are back in Cedar City in our town home. Hopefully for a year or so! I won't be ready to move for a really long time! I'm sick of packing and unpacking, we have moved over 15 times since we've been married! Crazy! Mike is still working for living scriptures as a regional manager. Now he will be in charge of recruiting out of SUU rather than USU. So, it was really a blessing that we didn't sell our house when we tried to last year. We would have been in a pickle!

We are loving Cedar. We have made friends with our neighbors and Max has a lot of new little buddies. The picture above is his best buddy Mikey. They live right next door and everyday Max bangs on their screen door and yells for him to come and play. I love watching them play, it's so funny! Max is trying to tackle Mikey here. They are actually really good at sharing and always swap their toy cars.

Mike is loving his vacation. We just joined Gold's Gym so we can get in shape. Mike goes with his buddies in the early morning and I go at 10 with Michelle. Hopefully we will start seeing results soon! I have been sore everyday since we joined!

I have been keeping myself busy as assistant cheer coach for Cedar High. It's been fun to get out of the house for a couple hours a day. Teenagers are really moody! I laugh at them everyday, because they remind me of myself 10 years ago! Sorry mom and dad! I have also been making more cakes. I have a five tier wedding cake due next weekend. It's going to be really awesome, and time consuming!

So, that's about it for us. We love being back in our cozy little house with cool fall weather and not blistering heat!

My little man!

Our friend Holly took these pictures of Max yesterday. He was really happy, but we couldn't get him to hold still when he was smiling and laughing. I think he still looks so cute, even with his serious face!

Things mommy loves about Max: He is the sweetest, most polite little guy! He makes me laugh everyday, and I can't imagine my life without him. He is always examining his cars and making me help him fix them. Max will repeat things over and over and over again until someone repeats it back to him correctly! He is very dramatic, and has the funniest facial expressions. People always tell me that he should have his own variety show. He's very good at showing off for new people and always has to be the center of attention. He is a handsome little dude, and we love him so much!

Adventures at the Little Gym!He is always scared to let go. His little scream is so cute and frustrating all at the same time.
He is getting better at the beam, but his favorite activity is running around in circles on the mat and saying, "I'm fast momma, I'm fast!"
His very favorite activity at Little gym is the bubbles! "Bubbas, Bubbas, OOOh, Mama, OOh!"
Here he is jumping and running around with Mikey!

Remember when...

I've seen this on too many friends blog to not put it on my own, so here it goes. Hopefully you can humor me...

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

MONSOON!

Here in Arizona they kept talking about some elusive monsoon season we were supposedly in. Mike and I were laughing about how they thought a few drips of rain were a monsoon. Then it happened. Last night we got over 2 1/2 inches in about an hour. That doesn't sound like much, but it closed down the road outside of our apartment complex, and Mike almost couldn't get home last night. It also completely flooded the underpass. We watched a guy on his motorcycle try to sneak past the police and go through the closed underpass; big mistake, the water was up to his knees when his bike stalled and he wasn't even in the deepest area! So, we were wrong, this really is monsoon season. It's cool! Here are some pictures of our parking lot, and one of Max for good measure. When Mike went to get in the shower he wanted to take his clothes off like Daddy! He just loves Mikey, it's so cute!
