1st birthday bash

Saturday, June 21 - we celebrated Max's first birthday with friends and family. Thank you to all that came and celebrated with us. It does get a little crazy here but you being with us means the world!

Max rides his excavator with some of his loot in the background.

Start of a new tradition - my children with each of their God parents on their birthday.

Welcome to my blog - Cooper John. Kim's newest addition born April 30. He is going to be giving his brother Carson some competition for blog time. :o) Yes, Craig, you can steal this one too....

Happy 1st Birthday Max!

Tuesday, June 17 ~ Max turns 1! We can't believe it has been a year already. How time flies.... The first of many celebrations as our little man turns 1!

PaPa Merz helps Max open his gift.

Max eyes his cake but mostly the candle....

It took him a while to get into the cake but he finally got into it.

I think he was wearing more than he actually ate!

Happy Birthday Max-man! We love you!

One of my favorite people.....

Here is one of my most favorite people - other than my own kids - to shoot. And can't you just see why - he is so handsome! Just look at those baby blues....

Love you Carson!
