Breakfast of Champions

Max's First Rebel Game!

UNLV vs BYU on 2/06/10.  We missed the fire works due to heavy traffic.  The game was sold out - and was crazy loud! Max took it all in, never cried, and fell asleep during the second half.  The Rebels won 88-74 over #12 ranked BYU; Mike considers Max good luck and wants to take him to all the games from now on.

Max's Baptism

Max was baptized on January 9th, 2010 at Christ Is King Catholic Community in Las Vegas. His Godparents are Nevada and Kristen Colwell. Father Joe A. presided over the ceremony, he also baptized Miles. Due to an untimely camera experiment, we only ended up with these action shots. All that time torturing ourselves by trying to get a toddler and an infant to stay still in numerous group shots was for not.

The church was small yet beautiful with wood paneling throughout the interior.  Mike took some architectural shots, that also did not turn out. Max was calm the entire time, until he got dosed with holy water. The church has a baptismal fountain which was not heated the day we were there so Max wasn't able to be dunked. We had everyone over to our house for a luncheon afterward.  Max slept the entire time so I wasn't able to get any shots of him with anyone - as I had originally hoped.  He didn't wake up until the last guests were leaving and it was time to get ready for the Rebel basketball game.  A true Rebel fan.

Mustache Mayhem

Here's Miles modeling his favorite facial feature, The Mustache. His fascination with mustaches began with a Sesame Street episode in which Elmo pretended to be Gordan by wearing a shower cap and a fake mustache. Ever since, Miles would come up to me for what I thought was a hug, but instead was to grab a strand of my hair to use as a mustache.  Santa was kind enough to give Miles a collection of fake mustaches to play with.  On this day we found his perfect color match.

Wearing his seventies style sweat-suit.  

Yep - That's a can of hairspray in his hand.

Herbivores Eat Plants

I might get Miles to start eating more vegetables after all.  We were having spinach salad for dinner last night.  I handed Miles a couple pieces of baby spinach and he said, "Leaves?!?"  Yes, Miles.  Leaves, just like herbivore eat.  He got a huge grin on his face then stuffed them in his mouth. "Mmmmm . . . leaves good!"
