My Peeps




Kelly is smiling now - not every time we try to get her to, but she is smiling in reaction to us every now and again! It takes a lot of work and patience sometimes, but the result is totally worth it! You can see the end of a smile here...
Ty has been a basketball ref for over a year now. Max thinks it's really cool. One day Ty was dressed and ready to head out to a game and he showed Max one of the calls - "hold", I think. This was about 6 months ago. Anyway, a week or so later Max did the call on his own. We were really surprised he remembered it with such precision and thought it was really cute, so of course Ty taught him more of the calls. Here he is performing them for us. We FINALLY got it on video. He loves to blow his little whistle we gave him and run around like he's reffing a game.


These two pictures are for Grammy! :)

So Cute!! She is so pretty and is so alert. I love all the pictures. The video is so fun, he is such a smart little guy (an almost 2, can you believe it?!!). I also love the pictures of the sucker in the tub, you don't want to clean up the sticky mess?! Your kids are adorable, love the new pictures!!

I think Kelly looks a lot like Megan!

Kelly is looking older already!! It has only been 2 weeks since we saw her, but I guess that is a large percent of her life so far. Anyway, she is looking great. I also have to say that Max looks like he is going to be a great ref. He already has the authority needed. Thanks for the pictures and the video.

Your husband is so sweet to do that for the camera. Do you teach Max signing also. He would be so good. Nora loved it and we are starting with Aubrey now. Kelly is growing so fast. I love that hair.

Kelly is getting so big! I love the little bow you put in her hair. What a doll.

That video was so great. Max has it down. He is one cute dude.

Kelly is looking older by the minute. I can't wait to see her this summer!!

Kirsten said...

Way to go Max! Don't they just always amaze you?

Miss Kelly is looking so darn cute! You can definitely tell she and Max are siblings! How precious!

So precious! What a beautiful family you have! I love it when our little guys copy their Daddies. It's so cute! It's also so much fun when a baby starts to smile. Way to go, Kelly!

Kelly keeps getting cuter and cuter. I am not sure I can trust Max on the court yet. Maybe in another year or so.

ok we will stay in touch. How about Veeda I saw a link but she is private could you shoot her a email and tell her we were thinking about her!

janet said...

oh.. she is beautiful. and I love the almost smiling stage. you try SO hard and are thrilled with a face that says, "I was thinking about smiling, but not this time." We tried SO hard with Luke, but he never would... and then you see him and make him laugh out loud. that was so funny. okay, back to you and your kids. Max looks so grown up!! and I really wish we didn't live so far away from each other!! Love all the new pictures.

Veeda said...

Holy Cow! Max is seriously amazing! I can't believe he can do that! So cool! And Kelly couldn't be cuter...

Great pics of Kelly and great video of the Maxster! Taking after his old man, a force of justice on the court.
