I'm a Wild Boy

Max can't seem to get enough of climbing on the coffee table, most of the time he'll just sit down but occasionally he'll get really excited and start jumping or dancing around. Also he likes climbing and sitting on the back of the couch. Never a dull moment with Max.  J

My First Pair of Levi's

These are my first pair of Levi's. I'm glad my Mom gave them to me in time for Max to wear. These jeans are a slim size so whenever he wears them he's a little stiff legged, but they look so cute on him.

Our Visit to Boonville

Yesterday Max and I rode down to Boonville to drop off Scarlett with my parents. After lunch we took the kids to the park. Then we took a walk up to this lookout point where you could see Boon's Lick overlooking the Missouri River.

Best Fishes

I got two cake pans for Christmas from my Dad because he disliked the Bundt cake I made for my Mom's birthday. He wanted a yellow cake with chocolate icing. Did I make him a yellow cake, no I made him a cherry chocolate cake and did my best free hand attempt at drawing a trout. I was rather disappointed, must be the Virgo in me, but bottom line Dad liked it and said all it needed was a scoop of ice-cream.

Hey Mom Look at Me!!

This is only one example of his climbing abilities. He is shockingly very steady when he performs this balancing act. I've looked around and they offer tumbling classes for 18 month old, so we only have to wait a bit longer.

Toasted Ravioli

How about a break from my power blogging : ) So I have a recipe you're going to love Aunt Barb. I got it from a girl who works at The Old Spaghetti Factory, shhhh don't tell anyone. So simple to make too which is an added bonus.

*bag of frozen ravioli

*bread crumbs

*parsley

*Romano or Parmesan cheese

*salt

*eggs

*flour

Mix the bread crumbs, a Tablespoon of salt, 1/3 cup of parsley and 1/2 cup of Romano or Parmesan cheese. Dip the frozen ravioli in flour, eggs then bread crumbs. The OSF fries theirs, but you could also bake till golden brown. (Just have to thaw the ravioli first) Buon Appetito!

Going to Grandma's

Whenever Max and I visit we usually drop by for lunch. At this visit he wasn't even interested in eating. I could barely sit down to enjoy lunch, no surprise there! After lunch he actually sat in Grandma's lap for about ten minutes while she read to him. Grandma kept on saying to him, "Well, if you would just let me finish the page. " I was laughing she's lucky she got him to sit in her lap for a moment. J
