Ride 'Em Cowboy!

Nighty night!

The kids have this fascination with hats and every now and then they will give me a fashion show. This particular evening they decided to be cowboys. Josh got in on the action... Hiyo Silver Away!

Cowboy Max

Cowgirl Lucy

Josh and I laughed so hard when we saw these two pictures. It seems we couldn't get a good shot of the two of them together. Either Lucy's face was funny or Max's.

Daddy giving horseback rides. I don't think he's thrilled about shirtless pictures on the internet, but what you gonna do.

Not sure why, but Max loves to put girlie hats on too. Isn't he adorable.!

Peter Piper Pizza (Say that 5 X fast)

MARCH 13th we went to Peter Piper Pizza with the Manuele's. We ended up spending 3 hours there. Shocking I know, but if you saw how quickly and well they went to bed you would think it was a great strategy.

The kids loved this Basket Ball game. Check out where Max is. We spent most of our time trying to keep him out of there.
We didn't even need tokens for this one. Max just got a kick out of sitting in it and turning the steering wheel.
Josh might have played as many games as the kids did.

Happy Birthday Max!

Max was surprised the day before his Birthday with a visit from Annie, Drew & Ella, Ashley & her friend Alex, Mimi & Papa & Grandma Jean. This outfit is one Annie and the girls gave him. He was so excited about it that he just ripped his beloved swimming suit off to wear it around.

Ever since Uncle Bill introduced Max to Batman, he has been obsessed. Here Max, Lucy and his cousins are resting on his new Batman pillow.

Max was thrilled with the new gifts his buddies gave him and they are getting some good use.

Here Max got another surprise visit the night of his Birthday. Papa Rob came into town! They ate, played and read books together.

Red Rock Hike with Daddy

Dang, I've got a good husband!

Josh decided to give me a break and take the kids on a hike with his class. He was the only one who decided to take his kids along. When he got there he could see why... it was a rugged trek, up hill and off the beaten path, but he loves to do crazy things like this with them. They all had a great time!
