So in August I started back to school and this year I am teaching pre-k. I absolutely love it and it takes a lot of energy to keep 16 4-year-old kiddos entertained. JR started a new job in January. He is now a pool designer. He gets to use his awesome computer skills along with being creative. It really is the perfect job for him. He is still doing window drawings with a friend of his, and is still running Marinelli Motorsports and selling car parts online. He is one busy boy!!
Max has been growing up way too fast. Christmas was definitely more fun this year. He understood the concept of presents and that he got to open a lot of them. He is a very lucky little boy who has a lot of family that likes to spoil him. We went to Christmas Eve service with Erin and Mom and then they spent the night so they could celebrate Christmas morning with us. You might see a theme of cars with most of Max's gifts. He certainly does have a slight obessesion with cars.
After opening presents at our house we went up to Dad's house to celebrate with Dad, Jill, Amanda, and Erin (again). Max was able to get a little nap in on the car ride up to Dad's house.
Aww!! Kisses for Papa :-)
Grammy showing Max pictures of himself opening presents!
Max didn't want to stop playing with toys to take pictures, but it is a pretty good picture of my sisters and me!!
Erin photobomb.
After Dad's house we went to Gaga's. Once again Max got his nap in the car ride to Gaga's house. It was very crazy at Gaga's. All of Max's cousins and Aunts and Uncles were there and I didn't take any pics on my camera (I have a couple on my phone but haven't loaded those onto the computer yet.)
Now skipping a few months ahead...
It's Max's 2nd birthday!!! I can't believe how fast time flies by. My little baby boy is 2 years old. He doesn't walk anywhere, he is always running. He has his own opinions and likes to boss people around now. He will tell you exactly what he wants all the time! The first few pictures are from his actual birthday and the rest are from his birthday party.
Max's helping make his birthday cake! He was so excited to help :-)
Made a stop on our way to lunch so he would look so handsome for his birthday lunch.
We had lunch at Longhorn Cafe with Aunt Erin (who brought some special balloons), Meemaw (who brought a yummy cookie cake), and even Daddy could meet us!
This is PARTY DAY!!
Erin's boyfriend Andy made this car cutout for Max.

So now I am at least somewhat caught up. Still have lots share though, but I think this is enough for today! I'll try not to wait another 10 months to write again!!
