OOOOHHH.... My Baby

He looks so much like a boy now. Where did my baby go?????

Give Me a Kiss

Mini Me

Kevin always dresses Max in the same outfit as him and they have the exact same body just 2 different sizes. They are just looking so cute in their shades.

Angel & Oma

Kevin, Vicki and Oma

Oma is Kendall's Mom. She was visiting over the weekend as well. We all went out on the boat on Sunday morning. I could really get used to this.

Max and MiMi

All of these next few pictures are from Destin over the weekend.

Angel, Max, Cody and Ethan

Cody and Ethan are Max's cousins. They all had so much fun playing in the pool at Aunt Myra's house.

Max and Ethan

My Little Cowboy

Max is studying about the Wild Wild West this week in school. They are having a parade today and are all wearing western wear. They all looked so adorable. Max has been talking about dressing up all week. They got to make trail mix yesterday and his teachers said that they all had a ball. I think he looks so cute in his cowboy hat.

More Party Pictures

Bobby & Margret's Wedding Day 1957

This is a picture that was taken on Bobby & Margret's wedding day, 50 years ago in Kassel Germany. What a beautiful couple then and a beautiful couple now. They are a testiment to all of us married couples who struggle through everyday life.

Happy 50th Anniversary Bobby and Margret

Happy 50th Anniversary Bobby and Margret. Kevin's parents anniversary party was Friday, July 13th and the whole family got together for a surprise party for them. We had the party at Nancy's house and all hid in the garage and waited for them to arrive. When they pulled up in the driveway we opened the garage door and all yelled surprise. We all had such a good time. Margret and Bobby were both very happy that everyone had remembered the anniversary and that everyone was together for the first time in a very long time. They were both very sad all week thinking that no one had remembered their anniversary....what fun we had tricking them! I think all our lies were worth it in the end, but it was a week of deception and trickery. These are just a few of the pictures that I took from the party. I have several other peoples pictures as well that I will try and get added this week. We so enjoyed seeing everyone and wish that we all lived close enough to get together every weekend. It’s amazing how much more you miss someone when you finally do get to see them. We got to see Randall's daughter Carissa for the first time. What a joy she is. We had 4 generations at the party. Parents, Children, Grandchildren, and Great Grandchildren. Kevin is the youngest of the Children so Max is the same age group as all of the great grandchildren. What fun the kids had all playing together for the first time. Max really liked being the oldest kid.

Stars Wars at the McWane Center

Max and Kevin went to a special breakfast at the McWane Center. They got to eat pancakes and hang out with the characters from Star Wars. Max was all excited and very brave until the Storm Troopers and Darth Vader walked in. Then Kevin said he put the death grip on his leg and wouldn't take a picture by himself with them at all. They did have a great time.

Of course he had no problem taking a picture alone with Princess Lea. I just hate this one turned our so fuzzy.

Tractor Fun

Max and Reese playing on the tractor. They have so much fun playing together. And we have so much fun watching them!

Chris Porsche

Chris Porsche is Kendall's Miami Vice Name. I can just hear the music now.

Max & MiMi on the boat

He was completely played out. This was on our way back to the Marina after a day out on the water. I still don't know how he was sleeping. The boat was hitting those waves and almost knocking the rest of us off our seats, but he managed to hang on and snore the whole ride home.

Beach Bum

No I didn't make him wear the life jacket playing on the beach.....We had taken the boat out to crab island and the current is really strong in the water where the bay flows into the ocean. Anyway, that was the only way I would let him get in the water there. But what a cutie. He loves his sun glasses.

Tattoos

Blake's friend did the air brush tattoos at Baytowne and hooked Max up on several. He thought he was big getting tattooed by uncle Blake's friend. There was some other kids watching and Max was sitting there like a pro.

Climb Monkey Climb

Max insisted on trying this. They harness the kids and let them try and climb to the top of these fake palm trees. He really did a great job. He didn't make it all the way to the top, but almost. I know next time he will.

The big chair

These pictures were taken at Baytowne in Destin. We were there for Memorial Day. Max loved the idea of this gigantic chair.

Medal Time

All the kids got medals at the last game. The only problem was the older kids got trophies and the 4 yr olds were a bit disappointed in their medals.

More T-Ball Pics

Only the mom that put these whistles in the goody bags was enjoying them! They all blew them the WHOLE time we were at the ball park that day. All the parents wanted to shoot that lady. This is Max's Grandma and Poppa (Kevin's Parents)

Lets get ready to shake hands. And remember don't slap hands too hard!

My baby was the pitcher at the last game. How cute is he? He really thounght he had made it at this game. He did so good playing ball. It was a struggle at first, but by the last couple of games you could somewhat tell they were playing baseball.

4 yr old T-Ball

The snacks were all the kids favorite part of the games and practice. In fact at one of the practices someone forgot to bring the snacks and we thought there might be a riot.

There is a playground at the park where they played their games. Yet another favorite activity of all the players.

Watch Out! Never give a 4 year a bat until he is supposed to swing it. They just can't help themselves.

I like to call this one Hit and Run. They may not run the right way, but they swing that bat and take off.
