At the start of the summer, Troy and Max planted some seeds. It was a nice little afternoon for Max with his Dad. Troy gets spread pretty thin between work and whatever sports season it is so this was a great activity they could enjoy together. These are their sunflowers! The backyard ones turned out beautifully. The front yard ones, well, they needed some help....help to the garbage can. Max wasn't happy with me when he came home from school to find them gone.
Max is very excited about being a cub scout! He earned his Bobcat already and a computer belt loop! I'm glad he likes it and is really excited about participating. When Alex was a Cub Scout, I felt so much pressure to get him to earn stuff, it became a nightmare for both of us and I decided I would be happy never to earn another badge, belt loop, arrow point or whatever they could come up with again! But Max loves it and maybe this is just his "thing". Life would not be the same without his best friend Bo! They are the best of friends. I was going to say they are "two peas in a pod" but that would be one messed up pod! Bo is easily a foot taller than Max! I sure hope my boy starts to grow soon!
This is Max on his special day. Somehow, Max didn't know that he should hold his breath when he was being baptized! He came up gasping! In all confusion his hand came up so he had to be dunked again. I was worried that he was going to say, "No way!" If you know Max, he is well, how do you say it...sensitive. But he endured it again and while they were changing, he said, "Dad, I just can't believe how good I feel!"

Loved your post! We wished we could have been there for Max's baptism. Their sunflowers look awesome!
p.s. I gave up earning badges and belt loops and young women recognition(s) too. It seemed no one wanted it bad enough to do the work... so there you go. Love ya'!

Those sunflowers are beautiful. Way to go Max on getting your BObcat already! Wow..does he have some gorgeous blue eyes or what? He is such a good KID!! Congrats again Max and family on such a special day!
I haven't checked in on you for a while! Yea for Max! I'm in the primary presidency so I go to a LOT of baptisms... and I love it! I'm glad he is so excited about scouts! Hopefully that continues! It's fun to see your family grow!
how dare you remove his sun flower from the front yard! that is cute that he was so concerned about it! my favorite was when Darcy asked him in primary how his baptism was and he said something to the affect of "it was just so amazing I couldn't believe it!" what a great kid!
(ps I'm glad you posted! fun to catch up!)
