Because we were all together we got some family pictures which we will see soon I'm sure.. but I just couldn't help but snatch this picture of Grant and Tom talking to the ducks, so precious.
We didn't waste time and the day after Tom got home we headed to Pineview for some jet skiing! Sometimes marshall thinks our family is a little crazy but we really like to go fast :) were all addicted. my Daddy even took our 83 year old grandpa out for a spin- he loved it! But when Daddy took Mom out.. they took a turn a little too fast and in went the both of them mom still in her jeans with her phone in her pocket.. oops! good thing she was up for a free upgrade or we would have really been in deep water.. haha so naturally this happened in the middle of the lake and our little rescue team got them in on the paddle boat :) Also Max went on his first jet ski ride ever! and he has never been happier! he still hates his life vest but he loved the ride!
We spent the rest of the weekend playing games in the back yard as a family- just relaxing and hearing/sharing mission stories. Max and Grant adored Adams dog Kai- by the end of the week Grant was even saying Kai, sleeping with a stuffed dog and running to the back door to say good morning and good night. Max on the other hand learned to sneak his food to Kai from his high chair so he didn't have to eat as much!
Watching Max and Grant on this slide was probably my favorite part. Max seemed so grown up and figured out how to climb up the ladder and go down all by him self and he LOVED it! how did he grow up and get so smart and big! I really can't get over it, every day we are so amazed by him!
We had a little mini birthday party for max with our side of the family.. if you want to see maxs awesome attempt at putting out his candle with his hand you should check out my Instagram or maybe i'll post it later.. but here is the sweet present from Grant to Max! his first ever birthday present!
We were so grateful to Marshalls parents for taking the time to come see us on our quick trip! we loved getting to chat and share an evening with you! Max didn't want them to go so he climbed in their car...
On sunday Little brother gave a wonderful talk in church, it made me feel so happy we came home to get to hear him speak and see him come full circle. we spent the rest of the day visiting with friends and just felt happy all day! Marshalls oldest brother came up to see us with his family and it made us so happy!- Max and Bryant we hilarious playing together, Bryant is such a sweet boy to entertain max.
On monday we drove down early in the morning to see the rest of the Hills- Even Aimee who lives in North Carolina! It was such a fast fun filled day I sadly have no pictures! but every minute was a blast- from mother may i to tractor rides and scones. We are so so very grateful to everyone for taking the time to come up and let us see you for just a little bit! Marshall and I feel so lucky to have the 2 most amazing families in the world, our trip could not have been better!
Max and grant sword fighting.
