Ross Water Park

I took the boys + 2 more to Poctello for a few hours to thier water park. They have a lazy river, kiddie area, regular pool, and a large slide.
They all had fun. Max didnt like the kiddie area because it was raining on him and he doesnt like rain or showers!

Maximilian's 3rd birthday

Max had his 3rd birthday party. It was very small just invited our friends from down the street over. Mainly because they moved to TX the week after. :( Max is very sad that his buddy Peyton is gone.

I made him a Thomas cake with little cartoon heads of the 3 boys on it. Max LOVED it.

This is what happens when you leave birthday presents unattended. (bad Daniel) :) :)

Opening gifts.

This is all he had to open to know it was something "choochoo". It is an actuall HO sized train track that is powered with Thomas and his two coaches Annie and Clarabell. Max loves making it go around. Fast. Slow. Forwards. Backwards. ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL day!

Fun other stuff lately

The sixth grade schools around here have a track meet. Brendon is the one to the right.
Random scarey face Max was making in the car.
Wesley about to open a birthday gift.
I like this picture of Brendon.

Pictures where they were all smiling at the same time!!! WOW

Brendon playing with max but seems to be paying more attention to his new phone.
Brendon practicing his trumpet.

We are moving our living room to a different room. So now the first room you see when you walk in is the living room not Max's messy play room. So Brendon helped paint. and Max had to help also.

The room was wired for an over head light but Daniel had to actually install it. Max was there to help with that also.

Max is really into practicing writing and tracing letters.


This one he wrote DVD (v is upside down) and his name. Then he asked me to write mom, dad, and Max.

Max LOVES powdered donuts. (he calls them Noduts. )

He loves to arrange his trains like this all the time.
Our snow we had in June. Fun huh?

There was a free fishing day in IF recently. They loaned out rod&reels bait and didnt require adults to have fishing licenses. None of the boys really seemd to happy to do it. But Max did love throwing rocks off the bridge. :)

This is the place park

After we went to see Thomas we went to an park that has recreated an old village. We got to walk around thru all kinds of cabins and the boys got to learn how to do all sorts of fun stuff.

They got to wash clothes on a wash board and take a rug out side and beat all the dust out of it. The older boys got a shave by the local barber

They had a petting zoo where they got to see and pet baby chicks and ride ponies

And they got to go into a teepee.
