Mostly photos (and some video) from the 2nd week of April with sweet Mav. :)
Mav has loved this book since he was a baby - it has grown right along with him. :)
He may not look like it in this photo but just prior he was waving his fork around while saying 'ummmm' and really enjoying his food (chinese carry out from Kings Buffet) :D
We spent a lot of time outside! It got up to 81 degrees on this day which is insane, considering we were under freeze warnings just a few days ago (and then again the very next night!) There were some predictions of severe weather for this evening - and admittedly, it felt and looked like it outside. But thankfully, that never materialized. We just had a fantastic time playing outside!!
 |
| Scooping oats with his kitty litter scoop... always a favorite activity. ;) |
Marvin was bringing the wheelbarrow and shovel and Mav ran to 'help'. :)
 |
| Pretty comforting view Mav has... |
 |
| That face... he was tossing his hat at that moment... |
 |
| and pretty happy about it! :D |
 |
| GranGran 'found' the hat! :D |
 |
| Uncle Jonathan is a good swing pusher - much higher than Grandma pushes! |
 |
It was 81 degrees when I took this photo at 5:00 pm
(about 3 hours after the last photos were taken) |
GranGran was down on the floor picking some things up when Mav saw his opportunity! ha! I wish I had been videoing... Mav sat up and then leaned forward and back waving his arms and crying 'woah, woah' like he was falling. Kid has a sense of humor!
Thing was I had to jump up quick because GranGran doesn't react quite as quickly as his Dad! He almost DID fall off! Ha!
Mav was watching Spidey on Disney and I couldn't help but remember Jonathan in his little Spider Man halloween costume when he wasn't much older than Mav is now... the one that had the huge muscles. With dour little Jonathan inside and Jennifer pinching his 'muscles' all the time. I texted her this photo of Mav and she replied 'those muscles'!! So it had the same effect on her! :D

| Mav gets a lot of use out of that balance bike. |

Jackson and Brianna were putting in long hours on this Saturday at the Pasture Lane house so we got to have Mav come over. We always love getting to spend time with him!
 |
| Mav handed Grandpa Jack his cane. So sweet. :) |
 |
Then Mav reached onto the table and handed Grandpa Jack his gatorade.
All without any prompting from us.
He pays attention and has a kind heart. |
 |
| Mav was back to work - hammering everything he could find. :D |
 |
| He loves that slinky! |
It was pretty outside even though it was a bit chilly. Mav wanted his Jeep and Tractor out.
 |
| and then we were on to the playset! |
 |
| Man on a mission! To the big green slide! |
 |
| Then on to the smaller tower and the yellow slide... |
 |
Jonathan was ready to catch him because the area at the bottom of the slide is pure mud.
Julie is going to give us some shavings to put there... it's a mess! |
He is so funny... he likes to grab the swing and the rings while he is in the big swing. :)
 |
| checking out the old dog kennel - he probably thinks it is a clubhouse! |
 |
| Marley and Goose |
 |
| love this little cutie pie so much |
Maverick - the 2nd week of April
