The Olympian

Today Mark took Alex to a gymnastics class in Kaysville. They were having some Olympic events, and Alex won a gold medal! They got to do snowboarding, ice skating, ski jumping, and other fun things.

Rice Cereal, Yum

Max is trying to eat a little bit of rice cereal now. He doesn't seem to like it too much, but who can blame him it's pretty gross.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here are the valentines that I made for my boys. Mark's mom always made them big cookies on Valentine's Day so we are carrying on the tradition. Mark was not here for Valentine's Day, he went to the NBA allstar game in Dallas. What a punk! I should have eaten his cookie, but instead I ate Max's.

What We Have Been Doing

We have been doing a whole lot of nothing lately. So here is some of our nothing.

Max is such a sweet kid! He is a momma's boy and loves to smile at me, and sometimes other people too.

The lovely snowman that Alex and I built in the backyard.

Max loves taking baths, I should give him more but I am lazy.

Such a cutie!

I thought that the batteries were dead in Max's swing so I changed them. It turns out he is just too heavy.

I got some new boots, and Alex really likes them.

Every time I give Max a bath, Alex comes and jumps in. The beginning of many fun baths together I am sure.

Cruising for a Bruising

Mark went on a cruise with his work, in January to the Mexican Riviera. I did not want to go because Max couldn't go. They went to Puerta Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. He took a lot of pictures, and I don't know what's going on in most of them, but I am putting some up anyway :)

Luke and Mark with their mustaches. Luke's is real, Mark drew his on with a pen.

Yikes! Something I would never try :)

Mark got a sexy dragon tattoo on the beach.

On his last day, he was swimming in the ocean and another guy kicked him in the face!

This Mexican EMT helped him out with a bandage, and he got it glued shut on the ship later. It was pretty bad, and he ended up sleeping for like twenty hours afterwards. Luckily it was the last stop.

Hawaii

So we went to Hawaii...in December! It was a couple weeks before Christmas, and it was wonderful! We went to Maui with some people from Mark's work. Max went with us, and Mark's mom came and stayed with Alex. Max was very good on the trip, and he so cute in his swim suit. We went to a luau with delicious food and fun entertainment. I got to go to the spa for two hours and it was lovely. They have a room filled with different pools to soak in, and it was fabulous, then I got a facial, my hair styled, and my makeup done. Mark enjoyed a fun game of football on the beach, and he got to go golfing on an amazing golf course. The food we ate was so yummy! My favorite was my french toast with bananas and macadamia nuts, all topped with coconut syrup YUM! On the last day we went to the aquarium. It was so cool, and we even saw Santa diving with the sharks and other fish. We also saw Santa other places, and I loved that he was wearing bermuda shorts. Max even got to meet him for the first time. It was a very fun trip, and hopefully I can remember it even though we lost our camera on the way home so we don't have any pictures :(

Here is the resort that we stayed at, The Grand Wailea

Excuses

I know I have been missing for a while. I feel that I have some good excuses though. First excuse is that I am sad about our camera getting lost. Really it's not that big of a deal to lose the actual camera because it was old and breaking. The sad part was is that when we lost it we were on our way home from Hawaii. So I have been sulking and not wanting to blog because I didn't have any of the wonderful pictures that I was so excited about. Second excuse is now I can't find the cable that connects my new camera to my computer. So I have just been reading all of your blogs and totally ignoring mine. I guess it's time for me to stop sulking and to figure out how to get my pictures another way, so I will.
