Time to reorganize the office/playroom

In preparing for Christmas, and Max's growing toy collection, we decided to remove the guest bed in the guest bed/office and move some of Max's toys in the office. Once the new year started we decided to do a little makeover on the room to make it more efficicent. We ordered a new computer desk, 4 new bookselves, a new TV, speakers, computer speakers, printer, and a little table for Max. We are excited about the remodel. It just makes the room so much more efficient and more organized. It's the perfect little playroom and office. We love to hang out in it as a family. As you can see in the pictures, Max was very helpful in all of the remodeling.

Thank you Todd and Jennie!!! ( and the girls)

Todd and Jennie and the girls got Max a ball pit for his birthday. Max loves it! We decided to leave it in our living room so he can play with it in there. I don't think he has ever seen so many balls...haha. It's like his own little tent. Who knows what you'll find in there.

Max learns to call the hogs

Max got a little ambulance for his birthday. You can see it by his feet. The sounds of the ambulance remind him we guess of the wooooooo in woooopigsooooiiee....everytime he hears it he thinks we're calling the hogs. He did this all by himself! haha

Max's Finding Nemo Party

Max eats his Birthday cake

We got Max his very own cake to dig into to. We we're sure what he'd think of it, but I think he liked it. My favorite part is when he just dove in with his mouth. We got a video too!

Max's Birthday at Chuckee Cheese!!

We wanted to do something special for Max's actual Birthday night especially since his MiMi and PawPaw were in town. We invited them, Matt and Bekah, Grandma and Grandpa and Todd and Jennie and the girls to Chuckee cheese. Everyone had so much fun playing the games and our favorite part was watching Max eat his cake!! What a great way to spend his first birthday night, it wasn't even crowded since it was a Tuesday...max was sure worn out though!

Max plays with his toolbench

We found this toolbench over the summer and just knew Max would love it. We've been waiting ot give it to him for so long! He loves it...and is started to figure out the buttons....

Max's 1st Birthday Breakfast

Mike and I were so excited about Max's first Birthday. We got up early and had his toolbench ready to give to him and we made almond patties for the special occasion. Almond patties are a big Iowa family tradition. They are made at a bakery in Iowa and shipped here to Arkansas for special occasions and we definately thought this was one. We had breakfast with Max before Mike and I headed to work while Max spent the day with his MiMi and PawPaw. I only had to work until noon since I took a half day off and I got home just in time to put him down for his nap. What a great day.

Paw Paw

PawPaw stayed on our recliner the night before Max's first Birthday. Max loved having his PawPaw over for a sleepover.
