Getting Pictures Taken

Last week I took Max to get his 6 month old pictures taken. Getting pictures taken is a very nerve raking experience for me. For one, I worry about getting a good one, and also, because I am not strong enough to say "no" to the photographer. This last time the photographer insisted on me stripping him down and putting a Santa hat on him, which is nothing I would usually not do. She of course got her way because I am a wimp, and although I didn't buy any of them, they are pretty cute....I guess nothing say "Merry Christmas" like your half dressed chubby baby in a snow globe! :) I also didn't want myself in any pictures, but again, you will see she got her way! Luckily she did get a few of the poses I wanted in traditional settings.

Finding New Ways to Play...

Some days Max gets pretty bored of the toys we have, so I have to come up with something else to entertain him and detain him! :) This one lasted a pretty long time the other day.

Hanging Out with Max

Marley Rose, Puppies and Swings!

This kid loves to swing and play at the park!! Must be the wind blowing in his hair!



We recently went up to Sacramento for the blessing of Marley Rose. I call this photo "Beauty and the Beast". :) Marley was so adorable in her blessing dress!! Congrats Mel and Chris!

Max LOVES this puppy also. He sits and watches TV with him. I've taken pictures the last couple of times...too cute! He likes to put his arm around his puppy while he sits with him too! :)

Halloween is OVER!!! Hooray! :)

So...it wasn't that bad this year. Having someone to dress up makes Halloween more enjoyable, but I'm still glad it's over and we can get on to the good holidays! Here are some pictures of Max and all the cousins last night before trick-or-treating, and our family outing on Saturday to the pumpkin patch and Sonic.





He was not a huge fan of this hat, but posed for a few pics.

McKay, Samuel, Bradley, Taylor, Max, Tyler and Joshua....too cute!
Sam and Max...a year apart but great buds already! They love to play with each other.
Max wants diet coke so bad...don't worry though, this cup is empty.
He LOVED french fries...could not get enough in his mouth!
Dad and Max in the pumpkin patch.
Yeah right Dad......one day Max can have shot gun, but not yet!
