Maxwell's First Birthday!


Maxwell in his Sunday suit before church.

My baby is now 1 year old! The past year has just flown by! On Sunday, February 1st, Max turned one at exactly 1:44 p.m. We celebrated with cake and ice cream at our house with family. Max loved his carrot cake and vanilla ice cream. He just picked up the scoop of ice cream and tried to put the whole thing in his mouth at once. Everybody enjoyed carrot cake, banana muffins, and Lily even made a bunch of her own cupcakes in her EasyBake cupcake maker she got for Christmas.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before Max's birthday, Kenny, Max and I all went to St. George and Las Vegas. For Christmas, Branch gave all of the ladies tickets to Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas as well as a night stay in the Venetian. Kenny came along to babysit Max, since he is still nursing (currently we are working on weaning him, but I think its harder than I thought). The Phantom was so amazing! Everything was over the top; Las Vegas style! The hotel room was the nicest I had ever seen. All in all it was a wonderful weekend that started with shopping in St. George, continued to the Venetian in Las Vegas, and ended with a birthday party for Max!

Brook I can't believe that Max is one!! Time has just flown by our babies are getting so big. Max has changed so much since I have seen him last. He is so cute and looks so much like Kenny. Sounds like you have a good time in Vegas I want to get away for a weekend.
