Chomp Chomp!

Twice now I have left the room and returned to find Max indulging himself. He absolutely LOVES watermelon. I wasn't aware of his love for bananas.

I wonder if he has some crazy eating disorder..where he just can't stop eating the things I love. Maybe he gets it from me. When there is a freshly cut pineapple around. I just can't help myself.

Okay, I admit it. I am terrible at keeping up on my blog. I feel bad about it too. It's something that I want to be good at. But I'm not. I've also always wanted to be a great singer, artist, model, homemaker, etc. and I'm not great at those either. But I'll keep plugging along.

The last couple of months have been busy with birthdays. In April it was mine, Trevor's, and Max's birthday. Then May 7th is Paige's birthday. It was fun, but boy am I glad it's over. Phew! Here are some pics of the fun days:

Here's Paige and Devyn....they had a joint-party because their birthday is only a couple of days apart.

Max riding his new bike just before he tipped over and vowed to never ride again!
Max's new blanket that Grandma Lou Lou crocheted. A BIG gorilla...a request by Max.

And for Mr. Brody...he is growing at an alarming rate! He is already wearing 12 month clothes and I'm sure will be out of those soon! He is so cute and cuddly. He is such a great baby. He sleeps great and is always happy...unless he is hungry:) He takes his food very seriously. Max and Paige love him so much. They are both so sweet to him.

Only one more week of work until summer vacation. We hope to do a lot of swimming, movie club, fun Fridays, and volunteer Thursdays! Every night as Max is getting into bed he says, "Mom, what are we going to do tomorrow?" and then I usually reply with something like, "Well, first preschool and then to Grandma Carmae's for daycare." He is always happy with that, but tonight when we put him to bed he said, "Mom! tomorrow is Summer! You get to stay home with us!" How sweet! I can't wait! I love to spend the whole summer with my cute little kids.

Funny Girls

A couple of months ago we had Trevor's sister Amber and her husband Tyson over to play games. While we were playing, the kids were having a great time playing in their rooms. Paige and Mae came out wearing goggles and acting so silly. We laughed so hard because Paige's goggles were on just a little crooked and made her eyes look just like Sloth from Goonies! She just kept smiling at us with this funny little smile. I just love Mae too. Every time she smiles for the camera she does some crazy pose. Crazy girls!

Winter Blues

I don't know about all of you...but I am so ready for spring. I don't know if I can take any more snowy days. For some reason when it's cold and snowy outside all I want to do is stay home in my purple sweat pants and watch TV in front of the fireplace. Doesn't that sound nice? And what's even worse than going out in the snow and cold? ....when you are driving down the snowy road minding your own business and some crazy young gal crashes right into you! That very thing happened to me on Saturday. I tell ya...my car is cursed. It's like a magnet for people...it sucks them into and there's nothing they can do! One great thing about my car getting wrecked, is the WONDERFUL rental I got. I'm now cruising around the snowy streets in my fabulous 2010 Tahoe! I love, love, love it. And the kids love it too! Max asked if we could keep it. I'm thinking seriously about driving it to Mexico and never coming back. Do you think they could track me down?

Oh ya...if you got a couple minutes...go to Befunky.com and you can play around with your pictures...it's really kind of fun!

Surpise!

Surprise!! Since my last post I have had so many changes in my life and our family. On December 2nd our little boy Brody joined the family. I know, the last time I posted nobody even knew I was pregnant! We are completely in love with our new little boy. I am dreading going back to work on Monday. I have really enjoyed the life of a stay-at-home mom the last 6 weeks. The summer flew by, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all flew by just as fast. Now we're in 2010 and I wish the time would stop flying by so fast. I wish I could freeze my sweet little ones in time and never let them grow up. I will not give you a million excuses on why I have neglected my blog, but I'm back baby! I promise to do better.

Oh...and I guess I better post some pics of our new Brody Franklin Bailey. My great friend Sarah took these photos. She is totally awesome if any of you are looking for someone to photograph your family.
