The Amish

Last weekend we went to an Amish community in Millersberg OH. It was so much fun and I know my parents and Pete's would just LOVE it. We were talking the whole way there about how beautiful the country was with rolling hills and little buggy's and all the Amish farms and how Pete's dad would be making us drive really slow so he could get pictures of all the farms and silo!! :) They have this zoo type thing where you can ride on a wagon and this Amish guy takes you through this little tour of a safari/zoo. It was so fun and Jack loved it. Then there was a petting zoo and Jack couldn't get enough. We will be going back for sure! They have a website called rollingriverranch. com Anyways if you're out this way you must check it out, so much fun!!






These are those Texas longhorns. They were huge!! Jack was hugging one while it was eating some feed on the bottom of the wagon. Almost all the animals came up to eat, it was fun. We all had buckets of feed to let the animals eat.

This was Max almost the whole time, just snoozing on my lap, what a perfect babe!!

Jack making friends. He would keep asking her for more of her feed so he could have more then her. I think she was getting pretty annoyed, at least I was!

A Zonkie!! Guess what two animals made this?? Ha Ha funny huh! They had lots of funny animals. Half buffalo and half Angus cow.

The Lama's were my favorite. They had just gotten a hair cut but the tops of their heads were left with the hair. They were all different and we only got this one good picture. One had one eye covered and one had a big poof standing straight up. Anyway get the idea it was pretty cute.

Max's blessing and more!

We blessed Max on May 24, 2009. It was such a great day. My mom, dad and Lisa were here. It was so great to have family here and great to have my dad stand in the circle. Afterwards we went to Kirtland and took some pictures. Jack was being quite the bum and so we didn't get many pictures well many good ones anyway. I still haven't looked through them all to see if we got a good one of all of us. Jack was blessed in Pete's blessing outfit but because we blessed Max so old he wouldn't have fit into it. My mom bought him this one and it was so cute but I never tried it on him before the day. It was a 3-6 month outfit so I was sure it should work. Well we put it on him and he looked like a fat guy in a little coat!! Funny but still so cute! We just love our Max!

His floppy ears are so hard not to suck on!! I'm sure Rob will have lots of fun flipping them when he comes to visit.

Picked a bad one with my eyes closed, oh well. Look at that chubby Indiya!! Love her!

Max likes to stick out his tongue lots, what a cutie!

Pete and my dad worked on lots of projects while they were here. Jack was their supervisor.

Sweet cousins only four days apart in age. Indiya we think is taller but Max more filled out. It was sweet seeing them together. Usually holding hands or Indiya would even flip Max's ears. We will have lots of fun this summer when we go home to visit!!

Jack loving on Inny lou, however he looks like he'd been crying :(

We went to an Indians game.

Jack wouldn't cooperate to take a picture so its just us.

It was so windy walking in but when we got into our seats it was nice and warm!

Indiya and Max enjoying some tummy time.

Then Indi got tired and gave up.

What cuties!! Can't wait to get them together again soon!! Thanks mom, dad, Lisa, and Indiya for coming to see us and thanks Derrick for watching the kids so Lisa could come out. My mom did this for our mothers day present and I'm thinking it needs to become tradition at least one more year!! :) Mom thanks so much, it was really the best mothers day gift to get to see you, dad, Lisa and Indiya!! It means so much for you to come see me and now I cant wait to see all the family and the Mecham side this summer.

Fun with Family!

Thought I'd add a few pictures however a lot more of my fun vacation with my family and all that's been happening will come soon!

Max was given this snuggly bear and he loves it.  He hangs on to it and tries to eat it.  Its pretty sweet!

Indiya and me the day they all left, what a sweetie!!

The sweet babes sleeping on our walk around the neighborhood.  

Max snuggling with grandpa.

He has taken a few long naps this is one.  As long as the binky is stuck and wont come out he does great!

Having fun on the swings.

We got to watch our friends girls, Shealee and Paige. They are so sweet and Jack gets along with them so good.  The bad news is they moved about two days later to sunny Arizona.  We will miss you Arnows!!

Update

Oh look at those chubby cheeks!! Sorry mom I'm just getting pictures up and probably the next time I update it'll be when you are here with your good camera taking cute pictures of Max and Indiya! Yeah I'm so excited for you, dad, Lisa and Indiya to come!! Thanks Derrick for letting Lisa come and watching the kids, you're the best!!  I've got some pictures of Jack wearing this outfit so I need to get them together and compare their looks.

Jack fell down today and scratched his knee.  He was quite upset and has been playing it for all its worth.  He's asking us to carry him everywhere because he cant walk.  So what do you do if you cant walk, take a nap!  Such a funny kid.

Sorry about the next photo's, I don't know how to flip them on Pete's computer.  I thought it was cute that Max is smiling and below we were playing hid and seek.  This was Max's way of hiding.  

Jack has such a sweet smile, we love it.

King of the mountain.

Max being so good at the park.

He's getting a little better in the Bumbo, but still swaying to one side what a cutie!!

This is how Max always sleeps, with both hands up! So sweet.  He is still quite the grunter and I think its so funny.  Pete and I sleep much better having moved him into the other room.  

Thought this was a funny face.  Sorry my camera takes such blurry pictures!

Max and me.  I'm still loving my hair cut and really like it curly as well.  Which is probably good because the ends are FRIED from flat ironing it!!
