Mav and I decided to head to the zoo today. Let me tell you, we had a great time. We really intended to just go for about an hour and head back home and I think we were there almost 3 hours.

P.S., if you can't see Mav it's because he insists on wearing his hat pulled down over his eyes.




















We saw a baby lamb.















We saw the elephants.






















However, Mav's favorite is the Hippo. He asked several times to go back and see the hippo!






























Gorillas












































We played on the playground.























































We even rode the train
















He was asleep before we even got out of the parking lot!

Today was Joshua's Birthday party. We had a great time. Mav was on his best behavior. He ate all of his pizza and of course he ate his cupcake.
















Getting his Lightning McQueen Tattoo.

Today was a fun day.

Mav and Dad worked in the basement for awhile.















Then they drove the General Lee for awhile.


































Then we got a nice surprise. Melody and Myrna called and said they were headed over. Mel brought Mav a new tent and it is so cool. He loves it. In fact, we keep it set up in the guest bedroom all of the time so that he can play in it!

Carter and Easton's Cowboy Birthday Party!

Today was Carter and Easton's Cowboy Party and Mav was ready to go. He had his new Cowboy hat on, his Cowboy shirt and even Bryce's old Cowboy boots from when he was a little man!







































We tried to get him to wear an old vest of Bryce's but he wouldn't have it. He kept saying don't...like...it!




































A little power snack before a long afternoon of partying.








































He got tired of having his picture taken so we let him take ours.








































Mav and Dad hooking up the battery to the gator.





























Woo hoo, who was that cute thing?








































Mav hasn't really figured out how to get the Gator in reverse so he just pulls it out of the garage.























































































































































mmmmm, good cupcakes



































Headed home to crash from major sugar high!

Donnie's new "momo cycle"

Donnie stopped by to show us his new motorcycle. He even let Maverick sit on the back while it was parked in the driveway. It was love at first sight for Maverick. For about 20 minutes after Donnie left we heard "I want momo cycle" "I want momo cycle".
