Hawaii

Taryn and I went to Hawaii to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We went June 22-29 and it was the best. Our anniversary is July 15 so we celebrated a little early. We spent most of our time at the beach, we really liked the beaches on the North Shore. Oh, we stayed on the island of Oahu. We went snorkeling at Hanuama Bay, to the polynesian cultural center, on a hike in the rain forest, shopping, golfing, Pearl Harbor, USS Missouri, Pineapple Plantation and tons more. It was such a beautiful place.

Finally!!

It is about time that I update this blog. Sorry there have been no updates this summer. I have just had too much fun with Max to spend much time on the computer. So here is the short version of our summer. Enjoy!

Outside Time

I love when the weather gets warm and it is time to be outside. Luckily Max loves to play outside. He really likes this car at Grandpa Craig and Grandma Lynette's house. He loves to go on walks in it. If you stop pushing him he gets upset and bangs on the stearing wheel until you move and when it is time to get out, you can only imagine the fit he throws. Max finally cut his front teeth, which makes a total of 4 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth. He can crawl (kinda) but prefers to walk. Although with walking he is a bit of a scaredy cat and wants to know you are around to hold his hands if he wants. So silly. Taryn just got home from spending 10 days in beautiful Russia (sarcasm). You'll have to ask him about that. He'll have to post some pictures. As for me I am just waiting for school to get out on Wednesday. Wahoo! I am excited for summer. I honestly think that teachers get more excited than the students do for the end of school.

Meet our newest edition...

This is Roxy. She is our chihuahua puppy. We have had here for about a week and a half. She is almost 9 weeks old. She is so cute and fun. She loves to go on walks, play tug with Max and cuddle. She is so teeny. She will be about 5 pounds when she is full grown I would guess she is around a pound right now. She is mostly black with 3 brown paws and 1 white one.

You can't see it too well but Max has on his Jr. Police Officer outfit on. He looks so cute in it. Max has also started to recognize the camera and smiles when you point it at him. I can't believe that he is already trained at doing that. I blame it on Grandma Lynette and her crazy camera!

Cupcakes!

Max had his first cupcake! Grandma Lynette made some and we thought that Max would like his own after we had given him few tastes of ours. He did like the taste of it but was more fascinated with what he could do to it. As you can see in the picture he pretty much turned the entire cupcake in to crumbs. He also loves not having clothes on so he really liked the fact he didn't have to wear his shirt!

It has been a while...

Hello All!

Sorry for the lapse in our updates. I am not so good at this blogging thing. Well, not much has been going on for us here. Taryn has kept us busy attending baseball and softball games. Max and I have gone to many but have yet to make it through one. The weather has just not been very cooperative. Max is getting mobile. He will turn in circles and go backwards when he is on his belly or all fours but never forward. He is also teething, and when Max cuts teeth it is just not a tooth he gets a whole mouthfull. He cut his 2 bottom teeth at the same time and now he is working on his top 4 front teeth and it looks so funny becuase the ones that are cutting first are the 2 on the outside. He is going to look like a littl vampire if he doesn't get those middle ones in soon. As for me I am just teaching, getting ready for the marathon that is parent teacher conferences. We only do them for one night 3 times a year but we don't end up leaving school that day until 9:30. That is a long day. Taryn and I are also planning our 5 year wedding anniversary. We are going to Hawaii! We are so excited!
