Creed and Max
me and my BFF...
He's basically her dad too.
I think this was right after the time that Maddie was sitting on our dog, Lexi, and Lexi stood up and Maddie fell and then cried...but skittles made everything better. : )
Max and his JaJa
This may be my favorite picture ever! This weekend was the first time my dad got to meet his grandson, Max. He didn't get in from a business trip until Friday so we were excited when he was finally there. The first time my dad held Max, Max gave him big smiles just like this...and my dad started to cry...which made my mom cry and then my aunt...and well you get the point. It was such a sweet moment. Kind of makes me sad because my dad is such a great grandpa and yet I feel like he hardly gets the chance to be because he's so far away. Sure wish my kids could get to know and love him and my mom the way I do. : ( That's life though, right?
We all had to clap and say "Yay!" to get Maddie to smile for this picture. ha ha
Max and his Uncle Scottie
Max and his pretty Grandma (GaGa is what the grandchildren are going to call her)
Creed and sweet little Maddie
Maddie was being so sweet to Matt.

I had to put this picture so that everyone could sort of see our competition...the boys in the gray and orange shirts were on the other team...and the rest of their team looked about the same. We had 6 adults on our team...but thee was NO WAY we were going to take it easy on them. It's a good thing too because we barely beat them...they were good! Clearly they've had some practice.
Our team, minus me.
Don't we look tough?
Matt, Uncle Jan, my dad, Matt, me, Jared, Kalin, Nathan and Scott. We were deadly.
We were trying to look tough...but didn't quite pull it off.
It's true love.
Scott, Nate and Kalin...and I just want to say that Kalin, you look so cool. ha ha
The boys playing in the arcade.
Me and Kalin
One of the few pics of Nathan that I have.
We were trying to get a good pic...it didn't really work out.
I'm laughing because my dad was squatting down so all of our heads would fit and he was so low that we ended up having to bed over and then he was trying to position the camera so he wouldn't have a double chin...it was really funny...and we forgot the flash both times.
Both Matts playing some hunting game....you'd think they would have had enough after all the time they spent on the wii playing my brothers' hunting game. Guess Matt wanted to get his fill since we'll NEVER own a video game system! : )
My dad and Uncle Jan's turn!
I played DDR with Nathan...and lets just say I'm not very good...and that's probably an overstatement. I'm pretty sure I embarrassed myself.
Nathan and Jared blowing
We had a competition with everyone to see who could get the high score in basketball. I think my Uncle Jan actually got the highest score, 77.
The boys blowing out candles
Nate and his Vulcan
Scottie with his Vulcan
Me and Matt and Kalin and Matt got the boys the biggest baddest, sweetest Nerf guns every made! The Vulcan! It came with a tripod and shoots out the little dart things like a machine gun...it needs batteries. You know a Nerf gun is a big deal if it needs batteries.
My momma putting Max to sleep
So sweet
