Circus

Max, the twins, Lydia, and I went to the Circus here in town. It really wasnt what we were expecting. But the kids had alot of fun.

Max's obsession & his name

So Max is obsessed with trains. He makes the greatest train layouts in his playroom - well wherever he can find empty floor really. As you can see they are much larger than his train table.-- This was right after he got his Birthday loot. He got Cranky the crane(right infront of the orange balloon) and the 2 bridges to the right of that. and other random pieces. This was the first time he wrote out his "big name". I have been asked so many times since he was born if Maximilian is his real name or if it is a nickname. - Yes it's his REAL name. Maximilian Paul-Michael C. ---

RV

Well we recently bought a used RV.
Here it is with the awning extended. Most of the ones we had looked at didn't have awnings.Here is the seating. The long bench pulls out to create a bed. - It has 2 swivel chairs which is the only thing I dont like about it. I would have rather had the bench&table to convert into another bed.Here is a view towards the back.

Plenty of storage :)

Nice big fridge/freezer

Drivers area.Overall I think it is in great condition for being a 78.

Hopefully we will get our money's worth out of it.

The boy's birthday party

Brendon turned 13 on May 25th.
Wesley turned 11 on May 15th
Maximilian turned 4 on June 1st.
Their birthday party was Friday. It was great fun and we had a full house.

Here they are with their cakes. - Wes had a cake made of ice cream. Brendon had red velvet. Max had a Thomas shaped cake - which was white, and the base was chocolate.Here is Max eating Thomas' face. I think its funny how the cake Thomas is right on top of the plate Thomas.The twins liked the cake also.Here is Max opening Cranky the Crane from his grandparents. He loves it.Here is Brendon being silly opening a card.

As Daniel was finishing up the food it started hailing and was VERY VERY windy. It was strong enough wind to knock a fully mature tree down on the street behind us. Over all it was great fun. the boys said it was more of an adventure than a party. I just hope everyone that came thought it was fun and enjoyed themselves.

Max's Birthday - June 1st

Max declared that on his Birthday it really wasn't a birthday without a cake. So I went the easy way and bought a cute one at Walmart. So after dinner he opened a couple presents and we had cake.

Mid to End of May

Memorial Day was also Brendon's Birthday. We went out for a picnic and some target shooting.
This is along the road to where we went.This is one of the lizards we saw. He totally looks like he is smiling.

Brendon and Max climbed up the hill. (they are circled in yellow) While they were up there they saw a rattle snake. - ugh not what I wanted them to find while they were that far away and we were in the middle of no where.

Here is my Brendon after his last band concert of 7th grade.

We have been spending alot of time with "Max's twins". I love them both and thier mommy.

Here are all 3 of them the look on Hannah's face is just too funny.

Max and Johnathan.Then we tried to add Hannah.Nope not gonna work.I was watching them at the house. I ran inside to go to the bathroom and I hear Hannah laughing her head off. I though good they are having fun. --- When I got back outside I see the 'fun' Hannah had a box of kleenex.

Here is Max after 'helping' me bake a cake for BoyScouts.

Here is Wesley on his birthday at Olive Garden. We got him out of school for lunch.
