Happy Birthday Handsome!

This is one of my very favorite pictures of Donald. I took it near his parents home while he was playing football with Ethan, Jack & several of their cousins. It is just him. For some reason, I think he is the cutest at his parent's house. Every time we go there- I feel the way I felt when we were first dating. I think I fell in love with him while I was on the back of his 4 wheeler while we were riding around his parent's land. It was around his birthday & the air was just starting to cool off. It was so fun! Holding on to him & laughing... maybe that is why this is my favorite time of year. Happy Birthday, handsome! You make me so happy!!! I am incredibly blessed!

MaX & the MuM

This is Lily's sweet (& incredibly cute) friend Max. Max "bought" Lily a mum for Homecoming... then was too shy to give it to her. 4 days later- he worked up the nerve! Give the guy a break- he's only 6! She loves it! It is hanging on her wall.
Back story on the mum- Why I think it is precious...
Max has 3 older brothers. One graduated last year, but the middle 2 went to homecoming & bought mums. As April (my friend, Max's mom) was at the place buying the mums- Max said he wanted one. April said, "For who?" Max said he wanted to give one to Lily. April says they don't need to buy one for Lily. Max either cries or pouts a little. The mum lady felt so sorry for him- she gave him the mum for free! It pays to be super cute like Max. For some reason- it is not so cute when Lily tries to pull that off. So, there you have it. The story of Max & the Mum...
