HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Wow I have really abandoned our blog lately.... but I am happy to say we are BACK!!! Mak's birthday is actually tomorrow the 19th but David had to work so we celebrated it early. Mak actually had a birthday party last week at Grandma and Grandpa's (tractor themed of course). But he really enjoyed both parties. Sorry for the picture overload..... it was a fun Day.Mak got to play with all of dad's fun hunting stuff including his head lamp... that has nothing to do with his birthday but it's cute.

He had a fantastic meal.... obviously by the on his face.

and then came the cake.............and then the whipped cream.....

and later some bells and whistles to.....after that Mak seriously needed a bath !I SWORE on Mak's birthday I would do something about his hair. His curls were beginning to hang well over his shirt collar and it was out of control as you can see.... so with a few tears from ME.... his curls came off!Mak was surprisingly patient!!! I didn't get a very good after so i will post one later.

Ignore the singing I realize it isn't attratctive... but little Makray never fails to really get into a good song.

Happy Halloween

Halloween was a blast!!! Makray had so much fun. We went to a few parties through out the week, each one we filled up on fun and candy. This may be Makrays new found fave holiday. At every party his eyes light right up when he saw the endless sweets. Makray was totally in love with his costume, he wore it every chance he got, he was a skunk, I was a bunny, and David was the hunter. We had so much fun and can't wait for next year.

More Ten Month Pics

Since Mak's pumpkin pictures were SO cute we decided to go get some more..... so here are a couple more cuties if i do say so myself

These pictures make Makray look so sweet and innocent.......... which is not Mak in real life here is what the real Mak does on the side.


This is Makray at his best....... He has all he wants out of life.... fried chicken. mashed potatos, cole slaw, a few good and plenties, and two liters of dr. pepper. He is happy.... he has enough to eat.
This is what Mak does when he hasn't gotten all he wants and enough to eat........ he goes potty in grandmas crock pot.

Ten Months!!!

Wow a whole month gone and NO posts. Well not a lot has happened.... We are love loving Pocatello and our new home, neighbors, ward, and school. We are even loving this new weather. Makray is now TEN months and I just can't believe it. He is starting to walk a bit, he has wanted to try for a long time and every time he has stood up I have plopped him back down. He is such a busy boy I wasn't encouraging him to walk, but now that he has hit the ten month mark I decided I would let him learn. I imagine he will pick it up in the next few weeks, or at least I hope it takes that long, I am scared that I will get him out of bed from his nap and he will just run off. Mak and I visited Burley for almost a week and had a blast. Makray's very best bud is Grandpa and Grandpa's dog. It kind of hurt my feelings a bit, because Makray just didn't want to do anything unless it was with grandpa. But while they were playing me and my mom managed to shop, visit friends, clean and catch my favorite ballet. We also managed to get Mak's ten month pics too........... so here ya go!!!



The toilet is Mak's fave.

Introducing.... MAK the MISCHIEVIOUS

To say the least.... little Makray is all over the place. Mak is always climbing, biting, opening, or destroying something new, so for a couple of days I kept our camera with me at all times so I could catch some of his disasters. DISCLAIMER: some of the pictures are a little fuzzy, that is because I often have to take the picture and catch him at the same time. ALSO there are a couple nudies in here, so consider yourself warned! It all started with the stairs. Makray mastered the stairs a few months ago.... I would have never imagined what it would turn into.

Makray can just about get into his own crib.... He gets one toe up and then loses his balance... fortunately he has no idea that it would be easier getting out.

I thought it was irritating that he opened the bottom drawer and pulled everything out.... until he opened the bottom drawer climbed in and pulled everything out of the top drawer.
This is truly my least favorite trick, I will be doing the dishes turn around, and he has his hand stuck in the rack trying to pull out a sippy cup. Notice he is standing on the dishwasher drawer... that trick Daddy hates. Makray REALLY loves his Baby Einstein movies.. apparently animals in the Jungle is his FAVE.

Mak loves to crawl into the bathtub. Isn't it ironic that the one picture he is fully dressed in is the one picture it would be ok if he wasnt.

As you can see Makray keeps me on my toes. I am sad to see that he is leaving his crawling stage and headed straight for walking. A few days ago he realized he could stand with out the support of furniture or human legs. He was as surprised as I was when he let go of the couch and didnt fall down.
