So the summer has ended and it only my second blog post !!!  I have a lot of catching up to do! 

I feel like it rained a lot this summer, so Blake did crafts.  He loves to paint, color and put stickers everywhere!!  I hope Max loves to do these things as well in a few months!

On the days it was nice, and there were many of these, we did it all!!  Water parks, festival’s, Indianapolis Zoo, Louisville Zoo and our very Cincinnati Zoo, Parades, Museum Center, and the list goes on….. I will try to up load the pictures in order so you can see the boys GROW!!!  Little Maddox got his first tooth on Father’s Day, June 21st and his second a day after that.  He will soon have as many teeth as his big brother.

I have been a bad blogger……I feel like I missed an entire month!  We have been very busy and have been having so much fun!  Mom and Dad took ALL of us (minus Max) to the Circus!  (click on link for more pictures)  The boys did GREAT!  Ringling Brother’s had it all planned out and most of the time the boys were really interested.   I think the adults had a better time than the kids!

Blake loves the water and really enjoyed swim lessons!  He was the only kid to scream when they had to get out of the water!  He jumped off the side, blew bubbles with Daddy, and floated on his belly!

I just wated to upload a few pictures that brought a smile to my face, I hope they do the same for you!

Blake loves his tent and there is nothing better to Blake than everyone else in his tent with him!  Mamaw Sue Sue, Blake, and Max I think spent all last Wednesday in there, this is what I came home from work to!

This past week we were hit with a HUGE snow storm!  I can not believe the amount of snow and ice that came down!   I am not really a snow bunny, not a huge fan of being cold, unless we are skiing, so Brad, Blake and the snow dog, Zoe, ran all over the backyard.  Blake LOVED the snow and refused to come inside.  He still stands in the back door and says “smow”.

I never thought the title of this Blog I created a few short months ago would continue to ring so true…..

Monday (10.27.08) I spent at Children’s for Blake’s last surgery.  This was a breeze and he did so well!  I believe that Blake went in to the OR at 11.00 and we were talking to the Dr. at 11.30.  We were ready for baby #2 to arrive at anytime. 

Tuesday (10.28.08) Brad caved to the itch that he has been having to get back on a bike.  He thought that he would play it safe and instead ride an ATV or what he calls a “retard charriot”.  I was sitting in Mercy Anderson’s ER by 8.30 with Brad and his broken collar bone.  I don’t think it matters how many wheels it has, my husband will still get hurt!  Now we are wanting baby #2 to stay put for a little longer.  Brad will not be any help with my little men for a good 6 weeks.  So my door is open for all who want to come over and hold babies! 

On a better note my dear friends, Heather and Nate, will be bringing home another little BOY in March.  We can not wait to meet little Nolan Jude, named after his daddy!  Congrats to the Wolff family.

Before I start on our trip and updates I want to let everyone know that Brad is doing great!  He has put back on most of the weight he lost and some :)

We would also like to wish our Mothers, the twins and Heather a very Happy Belated Birthday!!

Also, Brad and Ryan brought a new eye sore to the hood.  They restored a riding lawn mower that shoud of been pitched years ago….well, I worded that wrong, Ryan tinkered on this thing for weeks with no help from Brad, then Brad took it to Grammer and it is up and running like new.

One would think that these two could use a push mower for 1/3 of an acre!

Just last week Brad had some of the wires taken out.  He has been able to eat soft foods and is starting to put on weight.  We have been counting down the days until everything is removed and we can eat PIZZA again.  Until then I will continue to make mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, lots of pasta, and fish…..

Many of you know that Brad was in a dirt bike accident on June 15th.  He broke his nose, upper jaw, left and right cheek bones, and his sinus cavity collapsed.  The wonderful Dr’s were able to piece together his right side and Brad now has a titanium mesh plate on left side of his face in place of his upper jaw and cheek.  He will have his mouth wired shut for the next 4-6 weeks! (this is not as great as it may seem)

This is what was left of Brad’s dirt bike…
