Political Blog

Alright, I am not going to use our cute blog to express my political opinions...there are too many to discuss ;-) However I have seen this around a few times, and I really like this. My pet peeve is not people who disagree with my views but the ones who complain, and then don't do anything! So why not get involved...it's one day, takes 5 mins! Happy Voting everyone!

Max' Big Boy Bed

So this deserved it's own blog. Max has been ready for his big boy bed, but we are very fortunate that Grandpa Russ is very talented in woodworking and was actually making a bed for him. The bed was done just in time for his birthday party, so we took out the crib while Max was taking a nap and when he came home from his party he got to see his birthday presant from Grandpa Russ. Max loves his big boy bed and has no problem sleeping in it. Although I am getting used the the fact that when he wakes up in the morning he can now get up and cause mischief :-) I still can't believe how awesome his bed is and wouldn't mind sleeping in it myself! I was telling him that I saw a similar bed on-line for $2000, and probably still wasn't as cool as this bed!

Max' Birthday

Max does not turn two until the 28th, but we decided to have his party last weekend! It was a Pirate/Nemo party down at our friend the Appel's property near Ojai. It turned out to be a lot more pirate because that is what Max loves right now. Max cake was supposed to have a pirate ship on it, but after I put the pirate ship all together and placed it in the "ocean" it ended up falling apart and sinking! SO we had an island with treasure instead...still tasted good :-) We had a lot of fun, with a bounce house and lots of bikes to play on. I still can't believe Max is two already...where did the time go?!?!?!?!

Disneyland 9.10.08

So I am behind on my blogging...as usual, so here are a few catch up posts. On the 10th Max and I went to Disneyland with our friends Keely and Hannah. They were also who we went with our last Disney trip. It was so fun to see how much more Max and Hannah enjoyed seeing all of the characters now that they recognize them. We ended up parking on the Mickey level of the parking lot, and every pillar with a picture of Mickey Mouse ( which there were about 50!) Max and Hannah would yell out "Mickey Mouse!!" We had lots of fun and enjoyed the new Toy story ride! Our passes just expired, but since Max is free for one more year, I am trying to convince the budget that one more year of passes is a good investment :-)

Family Moments

We have learned quickly as Max approaches two, that the time really does fly by, so we need to enjoy all the moments we have. Well, over the weekend, we invested in a used bike trailer and decided to have some family time on a bike ride to the Harbor. Max loves the bike trailer and we can;t wait for some more rides around town!

Marine Family Day

This was a couple weekends ago, but Max' Uncle Chris who is a Marine, invited us out for Family day out at the Naval Base in Port Hueneme. Max had a great time climbing through the Humvee's and checking out all the weaponry...(as a mom, I was a little nervous how much he liked it.) We all had a great time and we are all so proud of Chris serving our country!
