My New Found Cousin

So, here is my story...

I'm so totally excited that I have reconnected with my cousin Ashley! We have always been good friends and kept in touch, even though she lives in Oregon! But we really kind of got out of touch for while and I'm glad to say things are back on track and we are closer now than we ever have been! Funny how things work out! Sadly, the thing that brought us back together was my Grandma May's funeral...

Anyway, on a happier note, she married the COOLEST guy! His name is Don and they LOVE to have fun! They came to visit us in Ogden last year and they made the trip to Jackson this year, so we met them up there for a few days. It was a blast! My parents even babysat while we played! It was pretty fun!

It is also pretty amazing to me how much they have in common with Todd and I. We are so similar! Ashley and I could be sisters if you ask me! :) ...Anyhow, they just bought their second dog, thanks to us and our wonderful advice about the joys of having two dogs. They also bought some cross country ski's for Christmas...thanks to us and our wonderful advice about how FUN cross country skiing is! Now all they need to do is have a baby....thanks to our wonderful advice about how "fun" it is to have baby. HAHA! ya right! Anyway...story time can be over now and picture time can start.

We went cross country skiing up Snow King. The best part was going down...both Todd and Don ate it...Ashley and I, well we're May's, of course we didn't fall! :)
Cousins ...and our 3 dogs, soon to be 4!Love my sweetie
Coolest picture ever!...on our way to Granite Hot springs on their sweet snowmobile!
The jump Picture...tried but didn't succeed :)
Todd wore some goggle from like the 1980's and this is what happened to him..hehe.
Granite Falls...so pretty.
Another Jump picture...successful.
At the hot springs. However, the crazy lady that owned it wouldn't allow us to eat in the hot springs, she watched my every move through the window of her apartment....She was so creepy, it kind of felt like we were in the movie "The Shining".
So nice...
Thanks for a much needed vacation Don and Ashley. We had a blast! And thanks mom and dad for watchin our little one!

Santa came!!

So... Santa did make it to the May house on Christmas Eve... as you can see from the pictures:) Max and Jaxon had "supposedly" been good boys this year...if you asked Lexie and I, we may tell you otherwise! :) Anyway, we had so much fun spending this Christmas with my family. Unfortunately Leisel and her family weren't able to make it, but we had fun anyway! Max wants to be just like his older cousin Jaxon.
Christmas Eve...

He loves his Papa... and as usual we were plenty spoiled. Thanks for the great memories mom and dad...we love you!
I was so excited I got to see my favorite friend, Jordan. Todd and I got to spend the morning with her and her boyfriend eating a yummy breakfast and then going xcountry skiing. I loved that there was so much snow up there and it made it a white Christmas for us!

Love him!

Look at Todd's mini me!!

Back in Ogden, we got to spend a day doing some more skiing with Todd's family. We had a blast and Max loved every minute of it!!
Love the hat Anavon! :)
...and finally it was a New Year. Our friends Jaclyn and Kris spent the evening with us. Jac and I made some yummy appetizers and we played Quelf ....HILARIOUS game. Bring it on 2011!

Christmas, 6 month Photos

Here is my little Christmas peanut. Rachel Coleman took these photos and did a great job!

Halloween #1!

So this was the first of many cool costumes for Max...especially since I have an amazing sister with an amazing talent! She makes the best Halloween costumes, especially for her 3 little girlies! If you want to see her amazing skills, check out her blog at sugarnspicecreations.blogspot.com. Anyway, she has this theory that my other sister and I have to have a little girl for her to be able to make some cute clothes for, however, I'm going to prove her wrong. I have many great ideas on what to have her make Max, especially for Halloween! And this is the first! Simple, but adorable! ...He doesn't quite have the hair for a mohawk either but they look really similar if you as me!! Thanks Leis!

Jack Jack from the Incredibles...
Max Max...

K so total bummer! Todd and I didn't get to dress up for Halloween this year!! So sad! Todd was gone all weekend so Max and I hung out and gave out candy!

Well, kind of a bummer Halloween, but at least Max looked cute!

When I grow up, I wanna be a pilot!!

Todd had his first open house at Whirlybird Helicopters since he became an instructor there. So...Max and I came out to support him! Doesn't he look so cute in his flight suit!?

Like father, like son...

Such a cute little pilot!!!

Loved the helicopter already!

We are so proud of you daddy!

Just a little bit of Fun!

So I know it's been forever so I have a little catching up to do! This past weekend we went to visit my dad and mom up in Jackson. After our big scare with my dad's heart attack, we really wanted to go see him and make sure he was doing well! (Which he is doing much better and looks healthier than ever! Way to go Dad!) And it was fun cause Leisel and her girlies were able to make it up that weekend as well. It was kind of bad weather but we still had a lot of fun! Thanks mom and dad for the fun weekend! And thanks Leis for playing some games with me! It's been a while since I've been able to get my game fix.


Grandma and the grandkids...minus Jaxon :(

Papa and the grandkids...

Somehow Leisel and Todd are never in the pictures, so I made them hop in this one!

Max looked so cute I had to get a picture. However, he is giving quite the face in this one!

The girlies LOVED to help give Max a bath...their favorite part was when he would pee! :)

Baby Max, me and grandpa.

Kamber is such a good cousin, she loved to play with Max.

LOve this one!

Kendi loved her airplane ride with Grandma...

My happy little boy.

Little buddies.

Love my babe.

So, Kristi and Mo came to visit FINALLY! This was the first time we got to see Hazel and she is adorable!! And man is she is a chunk! She made Max look so skinny!...oh and you'll have to look at it sideways...sorry.

Aunt bubba...

We took Todd's parents for a helicopter ride. They loved it!

We went to Vegas for Todd's BDay with Jason and Haley. The guys saw Collective Soul, their favorite band. It was a lot of fun and Max was sure a trooper! He loved the Vegas lights and the pool!

Rainforest Cafe...Love it.

Swimmin'...Max loved it!

We went to this restaurant one night at the Venetian..Jay and Haley's sandwich was HUGE!

On the way home we stopped at IHOP. Max loved that as well :)

That's it for now folks!
