Elder Drew to Uncle Ben!

Elder Drew served in the Boise Idaho mission (Spanish speaking) for the past two years and a bit and yesterday he got home. We are so proud of him! He was such an incredible missionary that he got a promotion to Uncle Ben! And Max is so excited to meet the amazing man he was named after. 
Welcome home Ben! 
We love you!


A couple pictures of the month before Ben left. So much has changed!












"I love ya!"

Christmas can't come soon enough!


Tell Me What You Think

People ask me all the time who Max looks like. I really don't know. Most of the time I say Mark because I really just don't see any of me in him so you tell me what you think...

M&M&M

You all know I love a good surprise, well this weekend I got a fantastic surprise!
Look who showed up unexpectedly!
Mark knew they were coming and the thought had actually crossed my mind that it would be awesome if they came, but I wasn't actually thinking they would, so I was surprised when they showed up. They showed up Thursday night, Friday we went shopping for fabric and when we got home my mother rescued me with some curtains that I was trying to make and getting fairly frustrated with. When Mark got home from school we went to a Mexican restaurant that's close to our house. It started snowing Friday afternoon, so by Saturday we had a pretty good blanket of snow, so we decided to call it a snow day and stay inside. My mother obviously didn't realize that this was supposed to be a vacation for her because she made dinner for us and baked bread, cinnamon buns, breadsticks AND sugar cookies! What a woman! We even played a game of pictionary which was pretty hilarious!
Can you guess what this is?????
A lasagna. Hahaha! Love her.


They left today after sacrament meeting:( Their visit was too short but I'm so glad they made the long trek out here, it was just what I needed. Thanks Mallery and Mom.

In other news...

You guessed it! Here's a little bit about Max at 3 months.


  • He weighs 14.9lbs.

  • He sleeps 8-10 straight hours most nights.
  • He's definitely a morning person.
  • He's laughing and smiling more and more.
  • He hates being on his back. Pretty sure he'll walk before he rolls over.
  • His hair after a bath is curly and once it dries it just kinda sticks up.
  • He loves when Dad comes home from school. He saves most of his smiles for him.
  • He's super ticklish on his ribs on the right side and as soon as we lift his arms to tickle him he anticipates what we're doing and starts to laugh.
  • He has lots of dimples!
  • He's a social butterfly, he doesn't like to be alone.
  • I'm pretty sure he thinks his name is Mr.

Too Cute to Handle!

Today we had a mini family photo-shoot. I set up the tripod and created a little studio in our dining room. It turned out better than I thought and was pretty fun! Here's a little teaser.
This was definitely the best shot of the day.
