Festive pics

I found this headband thing in our box of Christmas stuff. I put it on Max's head, and he just loved shaking his head and making the snowmen dance. Too funny!

Max was not so sure about Santa.

Evansville

My sister recently moved to Evansville, IN, which is only about a 3 hour drive from here. Max and I made our first trip down HW 64 a couple of weekends ago. I'm so glad they live closer now!


Birthday celebration

We went to Incredible Pizza for Max and Phil's birthday celebration. It is like a Chuck E. Cheese, but they have go karts, mini golf, and bumper cars. Max wanted nothing to do with the pizza and everything to do with the arcade. He was wiped out when we left! Phil was most interested in the bumper cars with his buddies. I didn't get any pictures of that because I was trying to keep my eye on Max, but from what I saw, Phil had fun, too!

Max was actually pretty decent at pop a shot. He really got the concept of putting the ball in the hoop.

Look at that form!


Max got a remote control "choo choo" for his bday. You can just see the enjoyment in his face. He loved it!


Potty time

Max has shown some slight interest in the potty, so we just go with it. He is your typical male and likes to ready while he sits there. This one was People Magazine. I guess maybe he learned that one from mommy.

GG's 93rd bday

My Grandma turned 93 this year (although, she informed me that she thinks I am dyslexic because she is really only 39). She is just amazing! We had a small party to celebrate with her.


Max thought Daddy was a train track.

A Day out with Thomas

Thomas the Train made a visit to St. Louis, so we had to go see what that was all about. I think Max was just a bit too young to totally enjoy it, but I would have always wondered if we didn't go.

Getting on the train. This was the worst part of the day. The old school train cars had no A/C, and it was pretty hot outside. They boarded us and let us sit on the train for 20 minutes before we took off. Max obviously did not understand what was going on, so he was restless and grumpy. When the train finally took off, it went 5 mph for 25 minutes. Oh well...what can you do?

Our friend, Jay Kay, was in town. I thought this was a cute pic!

Sir Topham Hat (the engineer of the railroad line). He looks a little like ET.

Uncle Fred's wedding day

Phil's brother got married a couple of weekends ago. Here are some pics of the big day.


This tie literally lasted less than 5 minutes. It didn't matter. He was cute anyways.

My little stud muffin!


A meltdown is about to happen!

Yep...there it is!

Young love, how sweet!

I love this picture of Phil and Max!

This is probably my favorite picture we have ever taken as a family.

The boys

Bride and groom





Max was a machine on the dance floor. He was all over the place. Here are some of his finest moves.

This one is my favorite!




These 2 chased each other around all day. It was so cute!

Back in Indy

We went back to Indy for the first time since we moved to St. Louis. We spent time at Grandma Abbosh's house before Uncle Fred's wedding. Here are just a few pictures of those moments.

Max loved the jacuzzi tub. Who wouldn't?

The groom to be with his nephew.

Mmmmmm....beer

Yard work

I was out shopping one day and came home to find both of my boys working hard raking the leaves. Max was so cute and was very curious about what daddy was doing.






Later that day, daddy was putting dirt down so we can try to grow some grass in an area at the back of our house. Max loved playing in the dirt! He is such a boy!
