i'm a Bella

I read the Twilight series every night after Max went to bed for 3 days straight while staying at my sisters house this June. I bought the final one the day after it came out. So, yes, I got hooked. Saw this quiz on Niki's blog & took the quiz. Which are you?

Party #2

I'm a little late posting this, and all I have are the same old excuses, so I'll just tell you about his 2nd party on 10/20 (official b-day). Just a small shindig with a few close friends and our buds from MortgageIT. I made way too many treats and one was purely to post on the blog. Can you guess which one? (thanks to Natalie, Mike and Marshal for helping out in a pinch!)

The spread:





Some guests:

A happy and not so happy Fallon. What sort of mother forces a party hat on her son? oops, I mean daughter.





RJ & Max . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jean & Weston

Ciana & Sienna (that's a tong twister!)

Trying to get photos of the 1 yr olds. They had their own ideas.

Party #1 for Max's 1st B-day

Max is having 3 parties (doesn't every 1 year old?). Today was for family and we had a nice quiet lunch, presents & cupcakes. We had to let him go to town on his own cupcake which he inhaled- literally. It didn't start off well, but its his party and he can cry if he wants too :) I didn't exactly put the party hat on right (see photo below). The only way to get him to stop crying was to force a taste of frosting in his mouth. After a quick hose down he crashed for about 3 hrs. I should have taken advantage and grabbed a nap of my own.

It's official, Max has decided to be a dog

We knew it was only a matter of time with Boo Radley & Atticus in control of our house. He already enjoys crawling around after them and playing/eating with their toys more than his own. But now he prefers their food and their door as well :)


This photo is a bit blurry, but notice the red marks on his arms, thighs and side. He's a bit chubbier than the dogs so had to squeeze through. It didn't stop him from trying several more times.
