Illinois...
or
Seriously.....?! ILLINOIS
Getting stronger and more mobile everyday.
That my precious laughing baby!!!
Bay's first guitar....I can hear "smoke on the water" already.
Bay is smiling because he knows full well what is in the case.
Someone snapped a quick pic of Maya and Jackson playing on the floor. They are total buddies!!
Just minutes after opening the guitar Mom and Wes picked out, Bay was getting a lesson from Uncle Wes. I love this photo! 
Super Cute Little Miss Morgan
Max wore his "My First Christmas" sleeper Grandma Rinehart had given him just for this occasion. Aunt Jacque gave him a great little soft firetruck complete with a tree and a cat.
Here's our big "little boy" sitting on Grandma Dorthey's lap. 
This was the pic for our awesome Christmas Card.
Max liked his new toys, but was ready to rest not play.
Max needed a little nap before opening any more gifts.
Ok, you probably can't see it, but it was snowing. Dainty little Christmas morning flakes, but snow none the less. Jackson was so excited he ran around on the deck and danced in the "snow".
Max really did love his exersaucer...even though the look on his face says otherwise. He giggled and bounced around...I know I have a pic of him smiling, why did I post this...probably exhaustion...yeah that's it.
Our three precious boys on Christmas morning.
Riley really torn into her gifts this year. She was dragging the stocking around and pulling out the pig...hilarious!!
Jackson and his stocking full of goodies.
Jackson, Bay and Max on Christmas morning. Max was having a great time on his first Christmas holiday.
Our Christmas Eve dinner family photo with one more in the pic this year. On the menu: Pomegranate and Basil Roasted Pork Loin, Asparagus with Brown Butter sauce and almonds, Three Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes and yummy dinner rolls. I LOVE to cook....when I have the time!!! 
NAL had a small Christmas Dinner for management catered by a wonderful little restaurant Frank's. It's the same place we went for our anniversary. Anyway, we had 4 young ladies watching the kids at our house for some of the parents. I think we ended up with 8 girls and boys. The girls did a great job watching all of the children and gave them a little party of their own.
The older Bay gets the fewer holiday party photos I get. I suppose that is just the way it goes. Here he is ready to tear into his stocking in Mrs.Maclanahan's class.
Jackson's class had a bingo game to determine who chose their boy gift and when they took their turn. Of course, Max was there but didn't make into any of the pics. He ended up sleeping for part of the party.
Oh lordy, what are you putting in my mouth now?!
Hey those sweet potatoes are pretty good.
Who's that cutie I see? He is getting so strong and can already hold himself up quite well.
Max is ready to go watch one of Bay's basketball games. He even dressed in the team colors. Many years ago, Bay wore this little outfit when we would watch Uncle Wes play basketball.
Max's first taste of cereal...."you want me to do what with this?"
After a long day at school Bay loves to come home and cuddle his baby brother. It really is sooo sweet to watch both Bay and Jax enjoy Maxwell. What a blessing!
Max on his playmat with his new favorite toy the crunchy frog that Grandpa Cammon gave him. That toy goes everywhere with us. There is so much on the toy is really keeps Max entertained and is just he right size for his growing hands.
My baby boy is just about to outgrow the newborn napper he has been sleeping in at my bedside. This is the greatest way for him to sleep. It keeps his head slightly elevated and holds him in a cuddle so that he snuggles right in to sleep...even if it is for only 3 hours.
This is another outfit Bay wore as a baby. We just love Pooh Bear and this little sleep is adorable!
Max is looking sleepy, but loved his toy Grandpa Cammon gave him for Christmas. He also got some bath toys, a sleeping bag...lots of good baby stuff. 
Grandma and Grandpa Cammon with Max
Jackson and Grandpa Cammon having a deep discussion about Legos.
Two of my boys with my Dad, priceless.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!
My dad had a wonderful idea to celebrate Christmas with the grandkids before he left since he would not be home for the holidays. It was great! Above Dad is playing Santa and passing out the gifts to all 10 of his grandkids.
Tiffany, Max, Ella, Holly and Laynee waiting for the gift opening to being.
My Dad and brother Wes are putting up the Christmas tree and kicking off the holidays.
We got to spend almost every evening with Wes, Katie and their girls. This is a photo of Audrey, Maya and Max. He was 11 weeks old and trying to be as big as the girls.
Grandpa Cammon and Max hit it off right away. Max is pretty easy going and all boy, very curious and always moving.
Max taking his first swing with Daddy.
He liked the park, but boy it wears a guy out!
My sleeping little Jack'O Lantern. This was Bayley's first costume. He barely filled it out at 3 wks old, Max barely fits in it at 7 wks old. 
This was Max's Trick or Treat costume, a cow. It was super soft and worked great for all of those newborn needs.
Joe and Bay put this outfit together. Bay still enjoys dressing up and trick or treating, but doesn't want to look like a "little kid" so we thought this would fit the bill.
Jackson wanted to be the black spiderman. Not much to the costume, but it's what he wanted. I was trying to sell him on the idea of a mad scientist....maybe next year.
My boys ready to pull in a major candy haul.
