Brant and I have been married since June 2003. We have four kids: Madison, Maxwell, Lewis, and William. We try to keep track of the things we do, the places we go, the funny things that come out of our mouths, and the fun things we have experienced. Thus, our family blog.

Max's friend party

Max's friend party was a lot of fun. Having the chance to entertain five of his friends was exciting. Luckily Brant was off work and was was able to help out. I forgot to take pictures throughout most of the party. The ones below show the kids (in Bat-capes) apprehending Bat-villains using silly string.

Maxwell's Family Party

Max's family birthday party was very eventful. He wanted to have a Batman party, which made Brant happy. Papa made an awesome cake which was, pretty much, gone by the end of the party. I bet you can't guess why (real whip cream, chocolate mousse, chocolate cake...).

Brant and I got Max his very first bike. Of course, it had to be a Spiderman bike. He loves riding it and was even excited to get his "bike hat".
Here is Max modeling and displaying his birthday treasures.
One of Max's favorite gifts was his new 'Super Hero Squad' pajamas. If you ever see Max in the afternoon, then you know how much he loves to wear pajamas. This is not because I let him wear pajamas ALL DAY LONG, but whenever we are home, he would prefer to wear pj's over anything else (well, except maybe his superhero garb). I promise that he does get dressed and has his hair done every morning, but after the third pair of pj's and fourth mask of the day, I give up!

Mighty Max is 4

Dear Maxwell,

Well, little man, you have hit the four year mark... where has the time gone? You are growing up before my very eyes and, in certain moments, it feels like it's all happening way too fast. I cannot express how grateful and blessed I feel to have you as my son.

There are so many things that I love about you. I love watching you play with your action figures. I love watching you don your superhero capes and masks so you can fight the forces of evil. I love watching you play with Madison and Lewis and seeing how much they mean to you. I love hearing your voice when you first wake up in the morning or from a nap. I love that you ask me to play baseball, football, basketball, and soccer with you. I love your bear hugs and kisses. I love that you love Slurpees. I love that you enjoy wrestling. I love hearing about the things you learn during Primary. I love talking to you. I love your big heart. I love your strong spirit. And most of all, I love being your dad.

I love you, little bro... Happy Birthday!

-Dad
