A Second Helping Of Summer

Now that Summer is officially over and Becky is back to work, Max is back to daycare and Sam is starting school...oh and Mark is still pounding the keyboard at work, we thought we'd share a few more Summer pictures to show just how much fun it was.

Sam's swimming lessons in the big pool in Kohler

The "Kids" on the train at Bay Beach

Bumper cars!!!

Max loves the water

The Anderson's contribution to the 4th of July party...Banzai!

Riding "The Original Ducks" in the Dells. "Shazam!"

Sam had so much fun on the slides at the water-park that it hurt

"You lookin' at me?!"

The goats were the highlight of the zoo for Max

"You lookin' at me?!"

Whee!

Happy First Birthday Max!

Maxwell turned one and we threw him a farm themed party. It was a hot summer day with his family and godparents. All the kids enjoyed playing in the pool before dinner, cake and presents. Max wasn't interested in opening presents, but his cousins and brother were happy to help him out. In true one year old fashion, the ribbons and boxes were more exciting than the presents. After all the excitement was over, Max was able to fully enjoy all the presents.

First birthday, first cake

Yup, loves the cake

Opening presents

Sam is eager to help

Who needs presents!?

A tractor? For me?

Summer 2011 - Part 1

Summer has just begun and we're already having a blast. Both the boys are taking swimming lessons. Max has started walking (video to come). We're making the most of the few nice days we've had and hoping more summery weather is on it's way.

Sprinkler fun

Sam and his bobble-head at the Brewers game.

Max and his friend Brynn at the Memorial Day parade.

First time fishing...didn't catch anything.

Max being photogenic.

First time swimming.

Maxwell On The Move

Another...well, only the second in a "series", if you can call it that, of our children on the move. This time, with a bonus at the end that is worth the wait. OK, it's a little on the long side at 3 and a half minutes, but I had a hard time editing it down to that.

Enjoy!

Easter 2011

Tons of fun was had on Easter. We spent the early morning at church and then headed to De Pere to visit the family and have an Easter Egg Hunt. Becky and the boys dyed eggs a few days earlier.

That's a lot of stuff!
