Max's 3rd Birthday

Max got a big boy bike for his birthday this year, he is doing great on it!


After the party at home we headed for the Desoto Speedway for some 4th of July racing fun, unfortunately for the second year in a row we were rained out....




No problem, we all headed back to the house for some Dance Revolution fun, good times!













Max's 3rd Birthday



Daddy showed Max how to eat his birthday cake with his excavator, and he LOVED this idea!

I love Ava's pose, seriously.....



Pinata time!









We had some (unorganized) water balloon game fun!


















Max's birthday cake

Well as most of you know, Jim makes the boys birthday cakes based on what they are into that particular year, just like Popster has done for years. This year we chose a construction theme, which if you know Max is very appropriate, the boy is OBSESSED with trucks! Gg and Popster baked the cake and made the icing for us this year, what great parents! Thank you guys, we then had a cake decorating party at Gg and Popsters with Mom, Dad, Michele and kids, what a great time!







Christian and Gracie made construction signs to hang from the crane, this cake turned out awesome!

Summer

James had the opportunity to do a baseball camp at Pirate City this summer, he loved it! It was so great watching James and Devin, they were some of the smallest ones there but they did so good.



Christian and Caterina came down for some Florida sunshine and stayed with us one night, we had such a great time bowling and going to the beach, the boys love their cousins!

















Camping with Nana and D Daddy

Well Nana and D Daddy bought a new toy, a camper. So the boys and I joined them in a little camping adventure up in Homassassa Springs.


James and Dad in enjoying some shrimp at "The Freezer", what a cool place.


James told us when we got to Homassassa State Park he wanted to hold a snake, well guess what... we walked right up on a guy with a snake who asked James if he wanted to hold it, he was so excited.



Nana and boys checking out the manatees





On the boat ride the the state park








Nana and D Daddy's new toy, the Zepplin, Jim wrote "Led" on the back in blue tape but someone removed it..... don't know why...
