Max Gets Branded, Or Happy Birthday Max!

A few weeks ago we traveled to Utah County for a little quality time with the extended family. Max's cousin Ike was also celebrating his first birthday so we decided to combine the festivities and have a barbeque with my side of the family. Max pretty much wanted nothing to do with his cake, but he sure loved crawling around with no clothes on. Who wouldn't, really?

On Sunday, we were planning on going to 9 am church with Jon's family. Everyone was ready but me, and just as I was about to take a shower, I heard Jon calling for me in his urgent, concerned parent voice. I ran upstairs and saw him holding Max and a blood soaked paper towel. Max had fallen and hit his head on a rocking chair and split his forehead open. So it was off to the ER, Jon in his suit and tie, and me in my black sweats, glasses, and dirty, messy hair pony tail. Sweet. He ended up with 3 stitches, exactly in the same place as a scar on Jon's forehead. The doctor asked if a forehead scar was our family crest. I told him that's how we brand our babies so we always know who belongs to us at family reunions.





Monday we went with my sister-in-law Jandee and her little boy Ike to Hogle Zoo. The best part by far was the baby giraffe. Thanks for the fun day Jandee!

On Max's actual birthday, we decided to do another cake. Once again, he had no interest, but he loved shoving little handfuls of cake into Grace and Emme's mouths so it was a good deal all around.

Oh man. i hate those moments. Gavin fell and hit his head yesterday and i thought for sure we would have been taking him in but we lucked out again. I am not sure how much longer we can say that. Poor little guy! I can't believe he is 1 already, where has the time gone?

I can't believe he is one already! So glad it was only a few stitches and nothing worse.

I wonder what you would look like in black sweats, glasses, dirty and with messy hair...Oh, wait. I do know, and even then you still are a classy lady. Poor Max! Dang you Jon, it's all you fault.
Happy Birthday cute boy!

and so it begins.

(i'm pretty sure i've said that in a previous comment. also, i like how i'm blaming your genes as if i don't share them.)

Cole and Josh have the same scar right under the chin. I might add he got it while his dad was watching him fly off a slide. :) I'm so glad you guys are doing well. Keep in touch.
