13 years to go, and counting...

I have so many things to say about these pictures. One thing for sure is that I think my boys are the sweetest things ever.

This picture below captures Max perfectly. He is always climbing onto everything, and trying to do everything that Luke does. He is trying to be just like Luke, but at the same time, they are two totally different kids with different personalities.

Luke didn't have a big brother to show him how to push chairs around and climb on them. Luke didn't have someone taking his toys away and pushing him over. No wonder Max has such an attitude- he is just trying to survive and defend himself from his big brother! Most of the time, they do play so cute together. Like this day....



We were getting ready to go to the Children's Museum with our friends Heather and Brooklyn. I was doing my hair, and Luke and Max were trying to get ready too...


Notice Max's hair...I think Luke was trying to comb it for him.

Then, Luke started to primp himself up for the big play"DATE" with his favorite girl. He looked at himself in the mirror and said "mom, I want to make myself look handsome for Brooklyn, so she can look at me."

So, he got his hair wet, and started combing it

He found the perfect headband and put it on all by himself. Then he got Max's look of approval...

and then he stared at himself in the mirror for about 5 minutes...and he was ready to go.

And below is my favorite picture, I think you can see how he feels about himself...a little too confident maybe?


And here are a few pictures from the museum. We had such a fun time. Thanks for taking us with you!

Luckily, I got him to take off the headband without hurting his feelings. Aren't they some of the cutest kids ever?

Jana - cute pictures. I also wanted to say, I love the no background thing you've got going on. As a Mormon mom blog peruser, I get bogged down by all the wacky backgrounds everyone's got going on. Your white background is simple, classy, elegant. It's a welcome change from all the mom blogs that are trying to one up each other with the better background.
