4 big ones

MAXXXXX is 4! 
We love every little thing about this guy... 
He's independent, creative, loving, and soo fiesty! 


Grandma, Grandpa, Kylee, Dax and Brooks were in town on his birthday so it turned into an awesome family party.  He was spoiled with everything PJ Masks... because Max has "SUPER CAT SPEED", and "SUPER GECKO MUSCLES." (Or so he says A LOT)

The older kids went with dad and papa to sneak away to the river for some fishing, so us girls took the birthday boy and the other littles to the park and to mcdonalds to play! He was stoked... he said he wants every birthday to be the same as this one.  If only I could plan a park party every January :).  It's never warm in January!  But after Mcdonalds we headed home to meet up with the guys for cake, ice cream and presents!  








Some random things about Max.  
He is the worst at smiling for a picture- it's either trying to hard or not smiling at all. 
He loves PJ masks, Sofia the First and Spirit. 
He loves horses and can't wait to start soccer in a couple weeks.
His best friends are Natalie next door and Wesley from church!
Comes into our bed in the middle of the night 99% of the time but somehow doesn't wake us up.
Wears his cowboy boots everywhere.
He can be very stubborn but has really started coming out of this one lately... finally.
He loves playing "house" and being the dad. 
He's a very good big and little brother and adores them all. 
Loves playing any kind of make believe game with any of his little friends. 
He's learning so much at preschool and LOVES every second of it. 
Lately, he says everything is "So special."  He says, "Preston you can't play with that because it's so special to me." Even though it's like a match box car or something.

Max answered these next questions..
Favorite color: Blue and green
Favorite thing to do: Play horses
What do you like to do with dad: Fish
What do you like to do with mom: Fish too
What do you like to do with brothers: Play
Favorite place:  Mcdonalds (fresh on his mind)

 A couple random pics of my guy... The 2nd one perfectly sums up Max and his imagination!  Lots of toys all lined up with a special purpose :).  WE LOVE YOU MAX!!

New Years Eve bash

We love a good reason for a get together with friends! The kids talked about staying up until midnight for days and days... and of course they did (tried)!  Not the littles and Bridger just couldn't hack it and fell asleep a few minutes shy of midnight... but our night owl Parx could have made it hours past :).

The whitakers, cooks, byingtons and grazianos all came over and we had a yummy dinner, appetizers, desserts, played bingo with prizes, minute to win it games, had a dance party waiting for the ball to drop, and then stayed up till 1 playing cards with friends.

cooking with my boys in their new Christmas aprons. 

B-I-N-G-O


Nerds... Preston is obsessed with my phone.  I have to hide it all day. 

Minute to win it games... My kids favorite part of the night.
