Where Did The Time Go!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX!

Max 11 years ago. October 28th 1997. Weighing in at 7lbs 14 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. The first thing we noticed...the curl on your head that you still have today! Oh yea, you had very thick feet. Such a cute baby boy. You really haven't changed all that much; still cute! I guess we should say handsome now that you are 11.


Today October 28th 2008. Max's 11 year old birthday! His new "toys" for his birthday... a weed-eater and blower!!! The weed-eater has been on his mind for the last 5 months, and he finally got it.



Today is a bitter-sweet day for Mom and Dad. Max turned 11. Although we are very excited, it is hard to see our little boy grow up. Where did the time go? It seems just like yesterday that we were driving to the hospital to deliver our sweet little baby boy. I-15 was under construction and it took forever to get to the hospital downtown. We were both very nervous but extremely excited. We will never forget the song that was playing on the radio "Bolero" it went on and on and on and ..... Once we arrived at the hospital it was 18 1/2 hours later that you were born. All of the family was awaiting your arrival in the waiting room including Nama, Bokah, Grandpa, Aunt Sue, Uncle Guy, Erin, and Stu. We couldn't wait to see you. It was one of the GREATEST moments in our life; and continues to be to this day.

We are so proud of the accomplishment you have made Max. You are the best big brother and your sisters are so lucky to have you as their big brother. They love you very very much! We want you to know how much we love you. You are a wonderful son and an example to all of us. You are a fine young man and we can't wait to see you continue to grow up and all the many wonderful things you will do. Have a great Birthday! We love you.


Max feeding his new little sister Megan a bottle. You were such a big help, and still are.

Big Brother for the second time! You never wanted to put Mya down. You were a little older when Mya came so it was much easier for you to hold her.

Max and lawn mowers; for that matter any type of power equipment. From the first time you heard a lawn mower (6 months old) you have loved them. This has been your passion and continues to be your passion. You are the "Lawn Boy"!

Just had to include this picture of you when you were 9 months old. This is one of our favorite pictures of you. You can even see the curl on the top of your head!

We love you Bubba!! Have a WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!
