When I'm 75 years old, I hope I'm like the one on the right :) She's quite a dancer!

Happy Jack for Labor Day

My parents rented a cabin in Happy Jack for us all to join them up there over Labor Day weekend. I'll tell you what, if was SO much fun. The weather was perfect, and the food was fantastic (as always with my family, nobody goes hungry!). We played games, went to Long Lake, went on a run and almost passed out, ate our brains out, pranked eachother with bairballs, and I even spotted an elk! It was a super fun weekend.

Pile of crawdads! These kids love it!

Most Horrible Blogger . . . I know!

Ok, I know I'm the world's WORST blogger ever, I haven't updated for months! But I do kinda thing I have a good excuse for it: SCHOOL. Even though I LOVE blogging and think it's a great tool to have for friends and family to see, I just have been swamped lately! So I thought I'd get on here and update on things that I have pictures of. So here's a list of what I've slacked on for 2011:

Me ripping it up :) Going like 25 mph ha!

This quote is one Max found and we kinda adopted it as our little life booster. It's really great, we wouldn't mind if you adopted it too . . . its that good!

The Mcdewy-Double: max's mcdonald's concauction, its actually pretty good!

SUPERCROSS 2011, so much fun as usual!

I don't know why, but Max finds pleasure in growing his hair longer, then buzzing it while making ridiculous hair-do's while doing it. This is why I love him :) haha

For Max's birthday this year I wanted to do something but didn't know what. So I surprised him & went goofy golfing. As most of you know Max beats me at EVERYTHING, my competitiveness doesn't do well with this. However on this day, I kicked butt and beat him by like 5 points!

Silly Boy

The FAMOUS 2011 HABOOB!! We took this picture standing outside our house while it was going crazy!

Valentine's Day 2011 Max took me up to a pretty place & had dinner while watching the sunset! It was so perfect and thoughtful. I love this boy! Kissy:

Thanks to Max's wonderful mother she even made her home-made spaghetti for us! THANK U!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAXI!!! For Max's birthday this year we got a buncha friends and family together, went to Max's parents house & had a pizza night in Brent's pizza oven. It was super fun! Here's his confetti cake:

Awesome FUN friends: Emily, Cassidi, Me

Tyson was so sweet to come out and support me in our fundraiser, he's such a great brother and example to me!

Camping trip with the Dewitt family! This trip was so much fun, we camped up near forrest lakes, had super yummy food and lots of fun!

Hudson and his friend caught like 75 crawdads! We cooked them and ate them, tasted like crab!

Max crashed on his dirt bike.

Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 was so much fun! Max and I woke up early and opened our presents. Don't worry Dixi did too :) Here's a few our little family's second married Christmas! Max got a very manly and farm-man looking plaid Wrangler Jacket, & he looks manly in it! Love it!

Dixi got a massive, I guess you could say "life size" bone. The interesting thing is that the flavor was supposed to be peanut butter, but when she started chewing on it the smell was very similar to very rotten stinky feet . . . never buying peanut butter flavor again.

Let's see, Max got me a few fun things. Work-out clothes, ear phones, sewing box & some awesome sewing scissors (Gingher).

Max looks like one of those men on that game "Guess Who" and you ask 'Does your person have facial hair?' (yes lots) and 'Does your person wear glasses?' (also yes) haha

Our sad but full of holiday cheer Christmas Tree. It was so fun to decorate and have in our house. We actually weren't going to have one but Ty and Courtney had this extra one that we are borrowing, so thank you!

Silly Dixi

This was back in the Summer of 2010 when Dixi came inside rubbing her nose on things. Right then Max looked over at her & noticed her face totally swollen up like this:

She wasn't whining at all & didn't have any other symptoms so we just kept an eye on her & by the next morning it was all gone. But how hilarious does she look?! haha

We think she tried to eat a Bee & got stung or something.

In November we took a trip to California with the Klinglers. We had Max's parents watch Dixi, and of course the day we left she went into heat. How lovely. So we came home to this crazy girl wearing diaper and panties.

I thought these pictures were so funny I couldn't resist putting them up. She's a cutie patootie!

Oral Cancer Walk

Summer of 2010 my DH class all went to an Oral Cancer Walk that was put on by A.T. Still Dental School. It was such a nice day & fun to hang out with all these fun friends! They talked to us about oral cancer, then we walked a 3 mile loop.

Forgotten Carols

Our wonderful friends Marcus and Cassidi Klingler took us to The Forgotten Carols for Christmas and it was amazing! I really loved it, not only because we got to go with some fabulous friends but the message was so uplifting. If you haven't seen it yet I would definitely recommend it! From left to right is max & I, Marcus & Cassidi, Zach & Becci, Emily & Tyler, and on the ground is Cooper & Shaylyn.
