I have lots of pictures that I haven't posted, so here's a bunch from the last several weeks.

One cute hair cut! Maya got her first hair cut this week. I will admit it was a bit difficult for mom, but she looks much less like a poor neglected child since getting it cut and she wasn't even phased by the whole process.

Two big years!! Yep, Maya turned two this past week. It is amazing how fast time flies by and how big my little girl is getting.

Three parties to celebrate the big 2 years!!

One with Mommy, Poppy & Joel on Monday

because Poppy had to go out of town on your birthday.

Poppy gave you a bike that you were super excited about!

One with friends!

One with family after your birthday!

We have had all sorts of Halloween fun so far this month.

We enjoyed a night of Witches.

6 month

My baby is 6 months old and I can't believe it. At his check up last week he was 19 lbs 5 oz and 27 inches long. He's growing like a weed and doing new things every day.

He likes to sleep, sometimes! :-)

He loves food!

Squash, peaches, pears, bananas and kidney beans are his current diet.

He has figured out that he can get what he wants if he works hard enough.

He has two adorable teeth!He's just an all around happy and adorable little boy and we love him!

Beach!

Can't beat a day at the beach, even if it was overcast and cold. We still enjoyed every minute of it!

My favorite pic!

My cute fam!

Building sandcastles. More like Poppy will build them and Maya will smash them.

My little beach bum with his toes in the sand.

Maya what did you see at Sea World?

If you were to ask her this question. She would quickly pull out her map of Sea World, that she has hauled everywhere for the last week including Joel's doctor appointment. She then proceed to tell you about what we saw.

Big Wheeels (Whales)

Sharks swimmin'

Dolphins jump in da water.

Penguins walkin'

Flamingo eatin mama's hair

Elmo dancin' (this one often comes with a display of Elmo's dance moves)

Oh the fun, especially through a child's eyes.

Summer Fun!

It has been a fun summer so far and I have been a slacker on updating the blog, so enjoy picture overload in this post.

The beginning of July my Grandma was honored at the care center where she lives and we had a fun family dinner. I saw several cousins that I haven't seen in a while. It was a great time!

Nick and his family were here visiting in July also and we have all sorts of fun with the cousins. Unfortunately my camera didn't want to work or my batteries were dead lots of the time, but I did get a few good pictures.

Eva as queen for the day!
Grandpa playing with Ben and Maya.

An intense game of chess, who's going to win, Nick or Paul?
