A Sunday with Max:

As with all Sunday's we started ours at church and it ended up becoming a cousin hang out day that I just had to share with you - mainly because Shayden's cousin Max was off the charts hilarious today and I couldn't help but share the hightlights with you.

For lunch we hit up Wendy's where Max made a few phone calls and checked on his stock portfolio...

We then hit the local trails for some much needed play where Max showed his fellow guy cousins exactly how to chill in your stroller with true style...(take note of the foot and lack of eye contact when you see paparazzi)

The day was brought to a close with dinner out where Max showed Shayden just how much he had to learn...

Max - we can't wait to spend another day with you and hope you teach Shayden all the wonderful things you already know.

Shayden's new cousin:

We are so excited to welcome the newest member of the family - Claire Emmanuel. She was born yesterday to my brother Luke and his wife Bethany. She is a little peanut but doing awesome! We can't wait to spend more time with her...enjoy a few pictures.

Sweet Sunshine:

We are currently in Palm Springs visiting Shayden's GrandDanna and Paw Paw. I have to share with you the first picture I took upon arrival (well make that the first 2)...one so you can appreciate the scenery we are enjoying and the other to show you how pooped out little man was upon arrival. I should say he is doing amazing even with a 3 hour time change to adjust to.

We are having a blast and are so thankful to be out west...next stop Scottsdale.

I see you:

Shayden has once again proved to us just how bright he is (wink, wink)! We have obviously whipped our camera out a fair share since he has joined us and while we didn't think he would catch on so quickly he definitely knows when we have it on and loves to stare right at it...on this occasion I set it on the table, attempted to distract him while I turned it on and still he somehow knows he is being recorded...but I love his face when he sees it, it's classic!
