As of yesterday Max is now ten months old. I can not believe how fast time goes. He is so much fun to have around. I love playing games with him. Our favorites are Peek-a-Boo, chasing the empty hot chocolate can around the house, playing with cars, and reading books. Max is also in love with Popsicles, and clapping.
I am also very excited because we are starting to teach Max some baby sign language. I have heard some great things about it with child development. Because babies learn how to communicate first with their hands and with verbal. We are going to be taking a class on baby sign starting this Tuesday.

Happy Anniversary
We just celebrated our 2nd year anniversary. The great thing is we are just as head over heels in love as when we got married. We got ourselves a babysitter for Max. For our date we went to Benihana. The Food was alright but it was fun to watch them with their knives and cooking in front of us. We also went dancing at the Murry art center. It is a great place and the only place that I know of that does ballroom dance. They also have a dance class that you can go to. We learned how to do the street hustle. I love going there because there are so many grandmas and grandpas dancing. You can just see how good of a relationship they have after all those years. It also makes me feel like a great dancer until the BYU Ballroom dance team showed up. They are amazing. It was just as fun to sit back and watch them.
Mikey couldn't wait to give me my present that he gave it to me early. I got something that I wanted and needed. I got a tripod. I am so excited to use it. I on the day of our anniversary got some yarn and made a maze throughout my house so he had to follow the yarn. He went all over the place until he found his present. I got him Mario Kart. We been having a lot of fun playing it.
Max was having fun playing with the wrapping paper.
My Christmas Deco
Last year I hate to admit it but I only put one Christmas decoration. Our little nativity set that I got when I was like 12 years old. The reason why is that I did not want to buy anything at full price so I waited until after Christmas to buy anything. Here are a few things that I bought and made.
Merry Christmas
I love Christmas. We had a great Christmas season this year. It started out going to Mikey's Grandparents house where they made a yummy dinner and than the little kids did a great job doing the nativity play. Afterward his family has a great tradition were we all played the game Bingo. Bingo is not my game but lucky for me they have prizes for everyone. I got some great kitchen towels and Mikey got some yummy chocolate.
On Christmas Eve we went up to my parents house and had a little party with my family at my sister's new house. My mom read a Christmas book that we all get every year.
On Christmas we were so excited because it was Max's first Christmas. We knew that he wouldn't understand the gifts from Santa but we were excited anyways. We got Max some clothes and a few toys. He is starting to enjoy cars. I got Mikey some intertudes so that we can go sliding in the snow. Mikey got me the Wii. We played Mario Brothers all Christmas.
Christmas was so much fun that I really did not want it to end. I struggled at putting down the Christmas tree. But after the New Year I realize that Christmas is over. I think the reason why I don't like it to end is because there is nothing to look forward too until Spring comes around. So I know that I have a long winter ahead of me.
We tried to put Max in the sock because we thought it would be cute but I guess he is a little too big for it.

Mikey vs. Tonsils
Last week Mikey had his tonsils removed because he had what you call tonsils stones. They are gross white chunks that collect in the back of his throat. He also had a septoplasty where they removed some of the bone from his nose so now he can breath a little easier.
Well the nurse said that it will hurt a lot more days 3-5. I think that Mikey would disagree with that. That it kills from days 3-7. He has been having a hard time sleeping because he wakes up at night in pain. For awhile the pain pills would take about 45 minutes to start working and it would last for about hour maybe hour and half than the rest of the time he is in pain waiting for the fours hours to be over with so he can take more pain medicine. On the first day he throw up blood a couple times. He said that it wasn't that bad because he could not taste anything. He still does not taste much unless it is really strong. He is doing much better today. He has been working on the laptop all day. Mikey's work has been very good to work with him at home. They even were so nice enough to bring over an ice cream cake which I have eaten most of it. Mikey is such a trooper.
During this Max also has been sick and I caught myself a cold. So we really have not been the best people to hang out with this week. But we are definitely on the uphill:)

BYU vs. UTAH
This year Mikey's work made some great lanyards for the big game. Mikey volunteered us to pass out the lanyards before the game. We had to be there by 12:30. to start passing out the lanyards. The game started at 3. I was very nervous with leaving Max for that length of time. I never left him for that long and he still does not take bottles. But he is eating solids foods now. Luckily, I had a great roommate who happens to love babies and she gave up the chance of going to game so she could babysit. I owe her for that one.
We got to stadium and started passing out the lanyards. I think they did a great job at making them. They turned out great. I was even able to give some to a few Utah fans:) Right before the game started we were able to hand out all the lanyards on our side of the stadium. It was fun seeing all the fans come dress in blue.
What can I say about the game? It had everything. It had a nail biter finish and BYU won! Which makes me happy every time we beat Utah. I had a fun time at the game but I have to be honest I was missing Max like crazy. By the third quarter I was ready to go home to him. If you watched the game you would know the 3rd quarter was the longest. Than the game went into overtime. I didn't know if I was going to make it. Over all it was a fun game. I am glad I went. Maybe next year Max will enjoy the games a little more. When we have taken him to some games this season he cries through most of the game. That is why we decided to leave him home. I think we both had more fun with him staying at home. GO BYU!!!

Thanksgiving
This year it was our turn to go to my parents house for Thanksgiving. So we headed up there Wednesday afternoon. My sister Michelle happened to be moving that day so we went up there and helped her pack and move some stuff to her new house. She promised us pizza I think she still owes us some pizza:)
The day of Thanksgiving the boys always get together and play touch football. The boys have so much fun every year at playing football. Mikey is always hoping that I am to get all the right pictures from the game. While I was watching the game a family came and they had a turkey walk. They had a 1 mile race and also a 100 yard race. I think that next year I am going to tried to convenience my family to do that. I think it would be fun to run a mile to work off what we are about to eat.
After the game we back to my parents house and started to prepare for the Thanksgiving dinner. That I mean I went in to help my mom cook and the boys started a Fantasy football game with the Xbox. Over all we had a yummy Thanksgiving dinner and football one. It is always fun to go home and just relax and just have fun with the family.
We stayed up there until Friday. We slept in on Friday and that felt so good. I don't understand why people would want to lose sleep over a few dollars. Maybe one day I feel like I have to have this and wake up but I don't think so.
