So, I realize it has been forever since I've posted about these sweet kiddos....life has just been so busy! We just returned from our beach trip to Delray Beach and we absolutely LOVED it! As my sweet AC says, "I'm just a beach girl, mom"...me too AC, me too!
Alright, lets start by saying this was our first time flying with both Ava Claire and Max. You know I lack a love of flying, so I was hoping my sweet guys would take after daddy not me. They did. Ava Claire was a little nervous in the beginning...but once we arrived she was thrilled.
Her morning started at 5am and those of you who know her, know she doesn't even turn over at 5 am....so, that was a wee bit challenging. Needless to say, Max was wide awake (as always). He is still an early riser so we didn't have to worry about him. Alright, so we made it to the airport....got on the plane train and AC loved it! She was laughing and just loving it...I knew it was going to be ok. (hoping anyway)

Next, we get checked in and let me remind you I got our entire family packed in only one carry on bag and two checked bags! yay me! First time ever packing that light! (so should have taken a picture of that)!
We made it to the plane and I have to admit, I definitely underestimated my kids. THEY WERE PERFECT ANGELS on the way there. We couldn't have asked for it to be any better (including Juju and Papaw). I probably did the worst, but I always do. I just really do not have a love for flying...I'll do it, but I don't enjoy it. I do enjoy arrive to West Palm in under two hours though. Max just laughed the whole time during take-off he loved the loud sound. He never acted like his ears hurt or anything...so that was wonderful. AC just sat there and ate snacks and made a picture. She loved looking out the window and requested she have the window seat on the way back. Dad held on to the seat kind of tightly (I know who I get it from now)...but he really did good considering his fear of heights and lack of swimming ability. I was very proud! Juju loved it and is already ready to fly again. Ok, so plane ride a success!
We make it to West Palm...our luggage makes it...and our driver is there to pick us up! yay!
We made it to the Marriott- Delray Beach. Absolutely amazing! We had a suite with another adjoining room for Juju and Papaw...it worked out great! One plus we didn't realize too- we both had ocean-front rooms! The view was breath-taking! I loved getting to watch the sun rise every morning (thanks Max)!

We could walk to EVERYTHING from our hotel! I never knew Atlantic Avenue could be so jam-packed with great shopping and tasty restaurants. We just walked everywhere to eat and shop everyday....I am not exaggerating when I tell you as soon as you stepped out of our hotel, the food places began! The walk was easy and enjoyable. We even had a park about three blocks away that we could walk the kids to each day too! This was a huge plus! Honestly, this was the best beach trip of my life...and yall know how much I love to go to the beach! We didn't even need to rent a car...we just walked to the beach, park, and restaurants everyday! If you are considering a beach vacation this year, go to Delray for sure!!! When we got tired of walking, they had these cute little golf carts that would drive you down to the action too! We rode it some as well just because it was fun!

Both kiddos absolutely loved the ocean! Ava Claire ran right in the water again just like every year! That girl loves the beach just like her momma! Max was a little unsure at first...he really did not like the sand on his hands. He was sweet though....he would just stand there and wave at the water saying "hi". So sweet! Have I told you how good he was at the beach?? Honestly, he was so sweet and chill...made me really consider moving there. I think he loves the beach too. He eventually started to love the ocean and explore the sand more. Papaw and Juju enjoyed themselves too...that is, when Papaw wasn't getting lost. One day the beach was a little crowded, papaw went for a walk by himself, and he had a little trouble finding us. However, I can totally relate because we did the same thing...when it gets that crowded, it is hard to spot everyone. That was really our only crowded day...other than that, it was pretty relaxing and not crowded.

We boarded the Lady Atlantic to view the waterways and beautiful homes. It honestly made me want to move there! I've never abtually thought I would like living at the beach...but oh my, I SO could live in Delray! hint, hint daddy!

I could go on and on forever about the trip...but I want to share some pictures (of course). Seriously though, in the words of my sweet Ava Claire "I don't want to go home mommy, lets just move here"...I agree sweet girl, I agree! Everybody enjoyed themselves totally! Hoping to go back for sure! Because you know, "I'm just a beach girl, mommy"! Me too, sweet girl! Me too!
Matt did an amazing job planning this trip for us! We are so thankful and glad we have the best daddy in the world! We appreciate it more than ever!!

BALLERINA
and the cutest ballerina I've ever seen! The day has finally come that my sweet girl gets to be a ballerina! She has been wanting to do dance for what seems like forever....classes started this week and needless to say, she LOVES it! She and her sweet friend, Collette< did a wonderful job in class. I just love watching them get so excited! We are making memories...isn't that what life's all about??!

Happy 6 months birthday to my sweet Maxwell!!
Really?? How can this sweet, sweet boy be 6 months old...it does not seem possible. People always say "they grow up too fast"....sometimes I get tired of hearing that...but it is SO true! It honestly seems like yesterday that we were riding home in the car with this sweet boy for the first time.
When I found out I was having a boy...I didn't know what to do. I had always pictured myself with girls....but oh my goodness this sweet boy has his mommy's heart. He is the sweetest little thing...I love having him so much. I absolutely LOVE seeing his sweet sissy with him too. She is so sweet with him and he just beams when she comes in the room....there is nothing like it! Just to see them together makes me so happy...I'm feeling very thankful at this moment for these two precious babies...I am so lucky to be their mommy! I thank God all of the time for choosing me to be their mommy!
So today we celebrated with half of a birthday cake since it was his half birthday....but honestly I celebrate everyday just being able to be mommy to these two babies! As everyone says "enjoy every minute...they grow up too fast"....I am doing just that...enjoying every single minute...even the bad ones....because I consider myself beyond lucky!

We had a much better tennis lesson today. Ava Claire had been asking to play tennis...so we took her a few weeks ago. She was too shy to get out there and try it. However, this week she went right out there and did a great job. She has been practicing at home and she said "now that I know how to do it...I want to go back". Sweet girl always wants to know how to do something before she tries....sometimes that's a good thing...sometimes it's not....we are working on it!Amy Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07773741621113367627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870029517584147654.post-80407649671570157662012-06-28T11:48:00.000-05:002012-06-28T11:48:50.987-05:00Teased by Sis!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sweet Sissy is already teasing little Max...he wanted a bite of that "tookie" so bad! My sweet AC kept saying "Max this tookie is so good...but you can't have any....well, you're not old enough...or I would share....well, maybe mommy would just give you your own tookie"! ha Sweet girl knew she needed to share, but was glad he wasn't old enough to be able to have it! ;)Amy Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07773741621113367627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870029517584147654.post-18585464531388404802012-06-28T11:43:00.000-05:002012-06-28T11:43:52.424-05:00Sweet Love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yum!!! Max was SO ready to eat!!! He did not let a drop get out of his mouth. We don't have any messy pictures to post because he honestly ate it all...he acted like he had been eating for years! The food went in and he ate! A tablespoon didn't go too far with this big guy....needless to say, he wanted MORE! He's been eating cereal for about a week now and he loves it...I believe he will love some baby food as soon as he gets to have that!

Time is just going by too fast! I cannot believe Maxwell is already 4 months. He LOVES his big sis....everytime Ava Claire comes into the room...he just smiles!

We visited Amelia Island and Max absolutely loved it! He really liked the wind blowing in his face! Ava Claire loved it too...she ran right into the ocean and wouldn't come out. We were worried she would be scared of the ocean this year since she's starting to have some other fears....but she was not! I'm so glad she loves the beach as much as I do! We really enjoyed our time there and wish we could have stayed longer.Amy Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07773741621113367627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870029517584147654.post-65950359274244878392012-06-22T09:59:00.000-05:002012-06-22T09:59:07.231-05:00Eating Cereal for First Time<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgguEFjxyo283A71qCLtLASw6ED7FrQdjLeIRHSGk9o5T7B4px9kngV3k1FeiIwx8t96Qr0sqX3dSHKJ2gF3JZsa7ODmMru8asIiRtO9vm1BAGxg_BRBLNLYsmbnmpbRP7HUfUwxCe4VyI/s1600/IMG_4510.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="214" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgguEFjxyo283A71qCLtLASw6ED7FrQdjLeIRHSGk9o5T7B4px9kngV3k1FeiIwx8t96Qr0sqX3dSHKJ2gF3JZsa7ODmMru8asIiRtO9vm1BAGxg_BRBLNLYsmbnmpbRP7HUfUwxCe4VyI/s320/IMG_4510.JPG" /></a>
Sweet Max ate cereal for the first time last night. He LOVED it! We don't have any messy pictures to share because he ate it all! He acted like he had been doing this for years....I think he was thinking it was finally time we feed him. So, we will do it again tonight and see if the same thing happens!Amy Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07773741621113367627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870029517584147654.post-48283871576614463122012-03-29T20:55:00.002-05:002012-03-29T20:59:50.747-05:00Prayers to the Easter bunnyAlright ...so my sweet sweet ac has the Easter bunny's powers a little bit confused. This was her prayer at dinner "God is great God is good let us thank him for our food. Especially chocolate cause it's my favorite. Can you please put extra in my easter basket. Amen". <br /><br />Hmmmm<br /><br />I think she might be a little confused!!:)Amy Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07773741621113367627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870029517584147654.post-9625904299297144812012-03-27T10:25:00.002-05:002012-03-27T10:27:28.985-05:00Max turns 6 weeks old!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiZyp2aROh_mMSLiNU9_i5vRjabteygQ7iyURuxmh8TJ1dBJB24E6rnAxHtbgqwnWRx0WmGczOboFvGm4j8dRdq61unSWgcam8pyDuUFkME0bLCSE1ZEcPPpqxI7HL6J8tigIfmimEgV0/s1600/IMG_3122.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiZyp2aROh_mMSLiNU9_i5vRjabteygQ7iyURuxmh8TJ1dBJB24E6rnAxHtbgqwnWRx0WmGczOboFvGm4j8dRdq61unSWgcam8pyDuUFkME0bLCSE1ZEcPPpqxI7HL6J8tigIfmimEgV0/s320/IMG_3122.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724598762176432818" /></a><br />Busting at the seems!

I am loving every minute with sweet Baby Max. I love watching Ava Claire interact with him and try to "teach" him things...I really love it when she tells him "when you get big like me you can do this Max"...she thinks she is so "big" now! <br /><br />She has settled in smoothly...she loves him so much and loves to help with him. He also loves watching her...he is amazed by all of the things she can do. She helps me keep him entertained. She loves dancing and singing for him...he will just sit and watch her! Very helpful to me too....especially when I try and cook. She gets to be on baby duty...and she LOVES being in charge! <br /><br />Max is a sweet baby...he sleeps well at night and is pretty mild mannered. his biggest flaw is wanting to eat AS SOON as he wakes up...makes it kind of hard to go to dinner...because when he wakes up he wants to eat that minute! So we're still working on trying to learn to wake up happy...but who am I kidding?? I rarely wake up happy and ready to go. It takes me time too....so I'm trying to be understanding. <br /><br />There are moments when I have to stop and remind myself that he's only 6 weeks old..he's just been out-and-about so much earlier than AC was...that I keep forgetting he's still just a little guy. <br /><br />So, to answer your question, "how do you like having two?"....I LOVE it! I am trying to enjoy every single minute with this sweet baby...because this might just be my last baby :( We haven't totally ruled out a third....but it kind of seems like we will be content with these two precious angels and not be greedy for another. But we shall see..... :)Amy Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07773741621113367627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870029517584147654.post-41167908742911169162012-03-27T10:16:00.001-05:002012-03-27T10:18:15.213-05:00Big Sis<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7x4zN4k50qopLAsXvDHmY0vY9G1rcJV68UttjoZKb9uYBpJG_1EXyqAdkhqgnlbdsyqk_vXzRzEgfWkAprj5asjhCDRqX88TOhPjKQXG_WsPS352o6pkyAvc208mcYReTXkGn6VcV0WQ/s1600/max+ac.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7x4zN4k50qopLAsXvDHmY0vY9G1rcJV68UttjoZKb9uYBpJG_1EXyqAdkhqgnlbdsyqk_vXzRzEgfWkAprj5asjhCDRqX88TOhPjKQXG_WsPS352o6pkyAvc208mcYReTXkGn6VcV0WQ/s320/max+ac.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724596183777274834" /></a><br />Big Sis is soooooo proud of her little brother...she absolutely loves getting to hold him...especially when it is all by herself!
