I got a sewing machine for christmas and my granny taught me how to make a rag-quilt. This is my first attempt at being a crafty craft crafter!
Max is becoming so aware...aware of his dental hygiene!

Let's give him a big round of applause!

My Two Front Teeth

While at family night our friend Carlie took some cute pictures of Max.

Those teeth are really pokin' out.

Thanks for the pictures Carlie.

We love them!

We are glad that Grandpa Coats came to visit us in Oregon.

We are glad that Grammy Coats could hold, hug, and give kisses to Max.

Max is glad he could watch football and take a nap with the big boys.

We are glad that cousin Ty Cly could come and go to the ocean with Max.

We are glad for Aunties and Uncles.

(Tooooo Family)

We are glad for the beautiful state we live in.

We are glad for auntie Katie. (I can't move my arms!)

We are glad for little babies that make everything fun and exciting-even taking a bath!

We love you all! Thanks for coming to Oregon to see us!

Twilight Weekend

Mom was excited to go see Twilight last Weekend...but that left Max wondering who was to watch him while she was at the movie....

Between Great-Granny, Grandpa, and Dad they did Pretty Ok while Mom was away

As you can see by our faces, Patti & I could hardly contain our excitement (It was just really sunny) The Movie was GREAT!! I am so glad I could see it with someone that was even more excited than myself!! Thanks Patti

4 Months

Little Max is 4 Months Old!

Jumping in the Leaves

Max was really helpful cleaning up the leaves.

I think he likes it here in Oregon.

Rupert got 15 inches of Snow...Salem got 15 inches of leaves!

I looked out the window and what did I see...

leaves, leaves, leaves!!

I cleaned them all up, but they just keep on comin'

Me and Max, we go together like peas and carrots

THIS YEAR OUT WARD DIDN'T HAVE A TRUNK OR TREAT

SO....

WE TOOK MATTERS INTO OUR OWN HANDS!!!

Even though Max wan't feeling well for his very first halloween

We dressed him up anyway, I couldn't be a carrot without my pea!

Kris was the FAT farmer!

Some didn't realize he actually dressed up!

The Stewarts were M&M's, a chicken, and a ninja guy

Here are the Birds!

Our favorite joe dirt, pumpkin, and biker lady
We're glad Max has a lot of new friends!!
Can't wait till Max can actually contribute to the mayhem!

Those decorations were pretty cute,

If I do say so myself

Thanks Sharon for the help.

We even kept a tight budget, its amazing how far string and a little tinfoil will get you

Let The Good Times Roll

Max is pretty pleased with himself here because he has finally discovered the joys of rolling over.

Now he can stare at any wall he wants--Yeah!

For All the Grandmas Out There

We're excited, Max finally did something.

Before you know it he'll be asking to borrow money and take the car out for the weekend.

The Great Pumpkin

Ahh... He's my little pumpkin.

I really can't believe how much I love this little guy.

Everything we do is new and fun because of Max.

Max picked out his first pumpkin at the patch

Article of Faith Cookie!!

I am thankful for my primary teachers and parents who taught me the Articles of Faith. In our new ward if you memorize them and pass them off to the primary president, she makes you a huge cookie! I believe in the Primary! Yea!

Conference Weekend

A few weeks ago we went down to Roseburg for Conference. It was fun being with all the cousins!! Everyone is getting so big, we can't wait till Max is big enough to play with them, and tear up Grandma's playroom :-) Go Ducks!!

Arwen taught Max to count to 100, she's smart :-)

Max is excited to learn about the ducks from Uncle John

Max & Cousin Jack, enjoying conference...Go Ducks!!

Max completed 3 Months!! We'll chart his growth with the monkey each month.
