Madd Max Head To Belle's Nest

 In Sierra Madre, where Taisie's work is displayed in the front window.

Celebratory ice cream sundaes.

The Scrapper Raises Rank

From Bear to Webelo.

Madd Max Wishes Lilly A Happy 12

 Hydrangea cakes.

For the birthday girl.

 Along with dinner.

 And singing.

Also this.

Madd Max Head To Carnival

 Matching rainbow ice cream.

There was a cake decorating contest.  Jess did not make this but did appreciate the Stranger Things theme.

 Carts.

 And a dinner with friends afterwards.

Madd Max Has A Concert

 Beginning winds.

Both of them.

Mary Has A Little Lamb.

Madd Max Gets A Package

 The awe.

 The shock.

 The appreciation - one mans trash is another kid's treasure for sure.

These all came from Tia Jess' old collections.  She also sent a photo of her and Tio Greg which Maddie was so excited about - she decorated the front of her school binder with it.

Madd Max Has Dinner With Cousins

 Sebastian, his fiancee, Liana and Gabriel.

And dinner!

The Scrapper Goes Fishing

With the Boy Scouts at a stocked, man-made pool.

He caught one!  (As did Sam).  He loved the entire experience.

Back at home, there was the dying of the eggs that didn't happen the weekend before.

Madd Max Have A Mimi Day

Which means, of course, Lucky Charms.

And breakfast burritos.  And donuts.

And perhaps even a coke at lunch.

As well as an audience for soccer.

And a homemade dinner.

And finally, Maddie opens the last of her birthday presents.

Slappy Heads To The Powder Puff Derby

Ready to head out with Sam.

Mimi also came to watch the races.

One of her heats.

Lookit that speed.

Sam may have been a little disappointed that there was no judging this time for anything other then speed.  Their car was pretty Egyptian fab.

The Scrapper Gets Student Of The Month

His sister got out of class to attend the awards ceremony.

His teacher, Mrs. Boyle describes his attributes.

Our star.

The Scrapper Curls Up

Knocked out, one leg draped over his cat.

Madd Max Head To The Findley Egg Hunt

Baskets at the ready.

 The calm before the storm.  This photo really does not do the quantity of eggs justice - Aarin filled over 500, all of which filled the backyard.

 Food to fill the stomachs.

 The hoard.

 Gathering.

 Checking their bounty.

 Taisie and Jamie.

Post-hunt, some pool time.

Madd Max Have A Happy Easter

 Excited somersaults as she waits for her brother to put some pjs on.

The first clue.

The clues were tougher this year.  Max called them, "hard and stressful, but worth it."

Maddie called them, "hard, fun and interesting."  She dug that it took a lot longer to find the present.

 The backyard egg hunt.

Excitement.

 A stop by Toby's for an Easter hello.

The fam in their Easter get-ups.
