cousins!







Anna, Braden, and Kyler came to visit us this month. I'm not sure what Max was more excited for, his birthday or finally getting to see his cousin Braden after a long year away from him. We went hiking, swimming, to the wildlife museum, for walks and scooter rides, and the boys played their hearts out for a few days. They all loved their new cousin "baby Kyler" and Ava talks about him regularly now. Thanks for coming to visit us, it was so much fun!

Max turned six and and we celebrated lego-style with his first friends (without parents) birthday party. I'm pretty sure it might have been the happiest day of his six years on this earth. He counted down the days, minutes, and hours and woke up at the crack of dawn on his special day. I think I could actually plan a decent party if I started planning more than one day in advance, but that's just how we roll at chez scoville. We invited his 5 best friends, and the party went off without a hitch. We did lego dot-to-dots, a lego toss, lego relay, lego straw game, guess how many legos in the jar, and a lego pinata (which his daddy kindly made at the last minute the night before, even if he did put the circles on both sides of the "lego"). I still can't believe I have a six-year-old. Happy Birthday Max!
