He Drives me CRAZY.....

...is in time out more than my kids, stinks up my house, and has ruined my hardwood floors. But at the end of the day after he's done being a bad boy, he lays at my feet and cuddles. Despite being a pain in my rear- he has such a sweet heart. And I love him. Besides LOOK how handsome he is!!!! How could I not!?!?!?!?!?

4 Years Old!!!!!!!

Where did the time go??? Just last week he was a baby, crawling, sleeping in a crib.....wasn't he??? Yesterday Maddox turned FOUR!!!!! Here's the big boy on his new "big boy bike" Luckily it fell on a Saturday so we celebrated by going up to Lake Lanier for the day with our friends Kendall and Adam (the boys adore them and think it's pretty cool that he has the same name as their dad!)
We got there a little before lunch time and stayed until about 10 last night....Maddox caught his first fish!!! (courtesy of Kendall's help....since I HATE anything to do with fish!!)

He appears to have mixed feelings on the matter too!

Just getting down to the dock after dinner, baiting up!!!!

The fish kept getting away with their bait

Earlier in the day Maddox got to open presents from Kendall and Adam and eat cake. They got him THREE new Hot Wheels racing sets and some new cars!!!!

His Patriotic Birthday cake from Kendall and Adam...

These pictures are from yesterday morning... we let him open his gifts from us and Jackson. He got a new bike!!!! a new helmet, a movie, transformers, and a water rocket!!!

He's been wanting a big boy bike for months!!! FINALLY!!!!!

We made him sit and close his eyes while Adam brought it in..... he's so cute!

And ofcourse, he has his traditional birthday cupcake for breakfast!!!!!

In other news they have both been in swimming lesson the last 2 weeks! Maddox is WAY more comfortable in the water than before and Jackson is SWIMMING!!!!!!! YAY!!!! I have a video to post but Blogger wasn't letting me load it- so maybe I'll have better luck later. In the meantime here they are playing at the pool
