Leech

Maxer is so busy. He keeps me on my toes every minute of every day! While having a bath in the sink, I have to watch those quick hands and feet. I obviously was not watching close enough and looked over and found this. He was reaching for the faucet and somehow got one of his toys stuck to him (must've been along for the ride). Too cute - I had to share!

After he threw a fit and was then side tracked by a measuring cup.

Attention!

We officially have a crawling little boy (yes, I am already exhausted from moving things and moving him. We were hoping to be in a new house before this stage, but we haven't found the perfect one yet. In the mean time I am keeping busy by my busy little boy (I have two very busy boys). I will post some video soon.

Don't mind the messy face.

Temple

On Sunday we were able to have a private tour of the Draper Temple. It was such a neat experience to not only get to see the Temple, but to have a private tour by the Temple President. This Temple is amazing... you knew that it is The House of the Lord.

Max was able to come with us and he was very good. He LOVED the chandeliers and the mirrors in the sealing rooms. His eyes lit up with joy.

The temple president, President Staheli just loved Max he couldn't get enough of him (I can't blame him..Max is a cutie!) - Thanks Steven! This was a very special experience that we will never forget!

p.s. We wanted a picture in front of the Temple, but the it was like a blizzard outside and so it will have to be another time.

Caddie

Max has found the golf clubs and knows how to use them: You start by marking your ball and

cleaning your clubs. He is ready to be your caddie grandpa!

Family Photos

It is crazy trying to take family pictures. Clu and Max are not a fans of holding still to get the perfect shot, but I think that they turned out.

Farewell & Fair well Zac

Zac entered the MTC (aka penitentiary) today. He couldn't wait! We know that he is doing exactly what he wants and we are so happy for him. We will miss him, but know that he will be back soon. Here is a recap of his farewell party... Lots of food and great people!Workin' in the kitchen. Lee the chefGrandpa Esplin, Zac and Emma waiting for the grub.

Saturday is a special day....

it's the day we get ready for Sunday. At our house this includes a haircut. Max's hair grows like a weed and we are continually cutting it. Now that he can sit up it is a little easier to cut his hair. Clu is getting really good at cutting his hair and keeping him busy at the same time. This is also his favorite place to bathe. He sits in the sink and reaches for anything around. He is a busy one.

'Get Soon' - Thanks Misty!

My mom went over to my grandma's house and my Aunt Misty (who has down syndrome) asked where Max was, she had something for him and handed my mom a green envelope with Max's name on it. My mom, not knowing what was inside, told her that she would mail it to Max. It came yesterday and this is what was inside. We LOVE the card!

Thanks, Misty! It brightened all of our day! Max is already on the mend and can't wait to play.
