Creepy, crawly bugs and frosting, too.

Max's First Birthday
Originally uploaded by juliepass

Ooh and aah. The first birthday has come and gone. Max was beside himself digging into his cake. He never gets to have that much fun! Mads assisted in ripping into the presents and smearing more cake on him! The kids loved to eat all the bugs off of the cake! While we can't believe he's already a year old, we are wondering when he'll stop screaming at the top of his lungs when he wants something!!

Our first day of summer.

May 22 and it's already our first day of summer vacation. School or "schoo" as Mads likes to call it ended yesterday and dance class, soccer camp, gymnastics and swim lessons don't start for another two weeks. It's a super windy day here and we're expecting some "torrential" rain in the next days, so we're going to enjoy the outdoors for awhile today. Get in a little running around the yard and planting some flowers. Mads loves to eat out on the deck with the mourning doves and gold finches. She likes to call herself princess morning morning dove this week.

Max is busy busy busy busy. Can't believe that he's already one! He's sporting a nice bruise on his nose from a fall, but he's such a little trooper. Pulling himself up, standing on his own two little feet and desperately trying to walk. He wants to chase Mads soooooooo badly. She doesn't know what she's in for!!!
