Parade/Pumpkin Patch/Random

2011-12-08T18:23:00.017-07:00

Mac, Max, Ellie, CJ waiting for the Payson parade to begin.

Max loved the fire engines:)

The monster truck lost its axle right in front of us in the parade. It held up the parade for a little bit, but we consider ourselves pretty lucky so we could snag a few pictures with it. The kids were in awe.

My kids kids could live off of otter pops. Ellie asks for them all the time. She probably eats them better than Max. Look at that face--I LOVE IT!!!!

That isn't Max's best face. ha ha just had to put it on here. It gives me a laugh:)

Look how stinking cute she is...even with popsicle all over her, or maybe it was a sucker.

Ha ha I think the picture says it all. (she always wants to see the neighbors dogs when she hears them barking.)

All of us going to the pumpkin patch (Red Barn in Sant.). We went on $2.00 Tuesday with Grandma Barlow. It is always entertaining. My kids loved it.

My little ghosts!

Max and Grandma Barlow finding the perfect pumpkins, which I always forget to carve. I guess there is always next year.

Ellie falling down and getting back up.

Another family picture.

Don't ask me why I put this one on here, but here it is.

One of my favorite pictures. They are just too cute for their own good!

Spanish Fork Rodeo (2011)

2011-12-08T09:11:00.013-07:00

Here we are at our annual rodeo (we go with my family-Grandpa & Grandma Baadsgaard, Ashlee (brought Renee), Sha & Bob and kids, & Brett, were all there this year. Ryan & Heidi, Chad & Marie, Lisa & Brady, Jed & Nalani all dogged out this year.) Tyson and myself were dreading it thinking our kids would be awful, but surprisingly enough they were really quite good. It was fun and we can't wait for next July. Enjoy the pictures!

MAX TURNS 3!

Happy Birthday to Max and Uncle Scott. Max turned 3 and Scott...lets just say he is over the hill (40) :)

Me and my cute kids. We had to try and take a picture with their new hats, they received for Max's Birthday. I had to hold them pretty tight to get a picture.

Cousin Cameron trying to transform Max's "big ol' Optimus Prime" (name Max gave the toy) to diesel form. F.Y.I It is already broken. His arm has been dismembered just 2 days after receiving it-he left it on the floor and stepped on it, breaking the arm. I sure love spending lots of money on toys. Live and learn right:)

(I know it is fuzzy) This is the only picture I have of all of us on his birthday. I blame it on Tyson. He grabbed the camcorder not the camera. It doesn't take very good pictures. :(

Another of Ellie

We finally decided to get some newborn pictures of Ellie. Well... almost newborns. She is already one and a half months old! We can't believe it! We thought that if we wanted much longer she wouldn't be a newborn any more. So without scrambling to find someone to professionally do her pictures, we had Shay do them. We knew they got a nice new camera a while ago, and thought we would give it a try. And... they actually turned out really well! Here is just one of our favorites.

Ellie is growing super fast! (I think its funny when people say that, because everyone grows up at the same speed.) Lately she has had a lot of gas, which makes for some cute smiles. She is starting to react to things we do too! Max would rather not talk about his little sister. He gives kisses and wants to hold her every so often, but for the most part would just prefer to ignore her.

Our family is doing great, and we are so blessed to have Ellie here. The kids keep us on our tows, and are certainly fun to have around.

Ellie Anne

Our Shindig! Still coming along...

Our growing boy

2009-12-14T20:06:00.002-07:00

At one-year-old Max is running all over the place. He even loves to cover his headwith blankets and clothes and run around. He thinks he is funny! He loves climbing up and down stairs and his new favorite thing is to throw his toys and mom & dad's shoes to the bottom. He also is talking quite a bit. Dada is still his favorite word to say. He also says "baba" "mama" "cah" for car "papa" "bah" for ball "nak" for snack "bubye" "caakah" for cracker "wawa" and much more. He is quite the chatter box and loves people. He is usually quite excited to go to the babysitters and play with his friends and loves church. Mom and Dad don't love church so much anymore but Max loves to see how many friends he can make and give everyone high fives. His favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba and anything on Nick Jr. When any songs come on TV he is bouncing up and down, he is better at dancing now than mom and dad ever were. He has also crawled out of his crib and fell, which has now been lowered to the lowest setting possible. If you have food you will be his best friend. He has eight teeth 4 on top and 4 on bottom and, as far as we know, is not allergic to anything and loves any food with sugar in it. When I ask Max about baby sister, Max will lift up my shirt and say "baby" and pat my tummy. Max is a fun, smart, energetic little boy. We love having him and he keeps us on our toes. He will be a wonderful big brother!

Max is one!?!

Cheeeeeese....It was too cute. I just had to put it on here. He loves his bath time!

Max's first birthday party! He wasn't as much fun as we had hoped, but it was still fun. We were waiting for him to "dig in" to the cake, but he didn't even like it. It was a little surprising since he eats on sweet things and spits out vegies, bread, and mac and cheese! Who know's it could just have been moms cooking:) As for the presents, he opended his first present which were cars and didn't want to open anything else. He just kept saying "CAH." Later that night he did play with everything he got and is loving every present. So thanks everyone!

"Peek-a-boo!" Max in his new chair. He loves to sit on the back rest and have the seat as his support. I guess that works?

I never would have imagined a shirt could function as a toy. He was having a blast running around with it on his head!

Halloween 2010

2009-11-01T18:23:00.004-07:00

What a day! After a day long shopping trip with mom, Max skipped out on both his morning and afternoon naps, which made it really fun for his first Halloween. We made the rounds to grandmas and grandpas houses, and by the time we got back home, he was all skunked out. Next year will be even more fun with two little ones to dress up.

Broc, Max and MacKayde getting ready to go trick-or-treating.

The cutest 11 month old skunk i've ever seen.

Just thrilled about this "dressing up" thing

BOO!

Finally... some pictures

Aren't they cute? Bryli (spelling?) and Max

Us at the BBQ before the rodeo.

Hey snaggle tooth! Max's first tooth

Always gettin' into "trouble"

Our house!!!

2009-03-08T18:52:00.003-07:00

We were super surprised one day to find out that they had begun digging our hole for the house in Santaquin, and before we knew it (really...they did all the progress you see in the pictures in one week!) we had a house to look at. Although we were not antcipating moving in until the end of May, we are excited that they are going so fast. Who knows, at this rate we could be in before mid-April.

"Swimming"

2009-03-07T16:52:00.003-07:00

We went to Idaho last week to see our newest little niece. Thank goodness we had the swimming pool at the hotel, because it was like 20 degrees outside! Max didn't like the cold water, but he did not complain about the warm mist from the hot tub.

Happy Boy!!!

2009-01-07T20:41:00.001-07:00

You gotta love it...

Progress Made

2009-01-07T20:09:00.004-07:00

It's amazing to see the improvement. Correcting the club foot is a process, but we are just thankful it is fixable.

Max got a new cast every Thursday for 5 weeks.

After the 5 weeks of initial casting, his achilles tendon was cut and he wore a new cast for an additional 3 weeks.

Now Max gets to wear boots that are connected by a bar. The shoes help maintain the correction.

Other than the club foot, everything is great with him! We feel so blessed to have such a healthy baby boy! He has been an enourmous blessing to our family thus far.
