Max in the future??

Our good friend Eric told me that whenever he sees this commercial, he thinks of Max. Now whenever Aaron and I see it we laugh pretty hard because it could be Max one day, especially having a soda problem. :) I guess we shouldn't be too proud, but the kid in the commercial is pretty cute I think. Check it out:

Max and his Daddy

I know I've said this before, but Max LOVES his Daddy!! Every day around the time Aaron is supposed to get home from work, Max and I wait and play near the window, so that we can hear and see him on his motorcycle as he pulls up. As soon as Max sees him he starts laughing and running to the door, so excited!!! I open the door for him and he runs all the way around the house to where Aaron parks his bike, and runs right into Aaron's arms, and then lays his head on Aaron's shoulder. It is so precious!!! He just adores his Daddy!!




I love this picture!! I took it as he was looking up to give Aaron a HUGE kiss!!! You can just see how much he loves his Daddy!

Baby Shower for Sadie Rose and Me

Two weekends ago Melanie, Aunt Holly and Aunt Tami gave me a WONDERFUL shower!!! It was so fun to hang out with the Halvorson Women and friends! And it was great to get to open such cute pink clothing!! :) Thanks to everyone for coming!! Here are a few pics:

Friday Target and Slurpee Night

Over the past month we have created a new family tradition. After Aaron gets off work, Max and I meet up with him, or pick him up, and we all go to Target. We all get Slurpee's, which Max LOVES, we try hats on Max, which he is loving more and more each time, and we pick up a few items of necessity. It's quickly become the best tradition we've ever had. Some families have deep traditions or really meaningful traditions...not us, we revolve around Slurpee's and Target, and I can't think of anything better!!! :) Here are a few snap shots from this week's outing...we actually had to do it a night early because Aunt Megan and Uncle Dustin are coming in from Boston tomorrow and we don't want to miss a moment with them, and we don't want to miss Slurpee's and Target!!!

Swim School Dropout

Today we had a friend ask us if Max could come to the swim school she works at and try out some new techniques on him and my two little cousins that they are working on for their mommy and me class.

Sam and Chad did great, lasting the whole class.

Max cried for his mom the whole time and in the end, failed, being brought out of the pool in the middle of the class. My little swim school dropout. Could this be a sign of the future?

Here he is looking dejected.
