Maican & Kayly

This is Maican and his cousin Kayly. Vanessa and Kayly showed up at my mom's the night before Thanksgiving. I know I am late and slow at updating and I will try and do better. I have been super busy lately with the semester ending and starting a new job. Kayly is a week older then Maican, but she is a midget! Maican is a giant. These pictures are deceiving it doesn't show the hair pulling, biting, hitting, and so on but thats ok! They love each other. Its a love/hate relationship! They are crushing crackers together in the first pic for scalp corn. It was so nice having them come fore Thanksgiving it really helped the Holiday Hole that's going on this year. Maybe by the time they are three and out of the "terrible two" stage they will get a long!!!!

So a a couple days ago I was taking a nap. Valen & Maican went fishing........and I woke up to them saying "Mom look at Minnow" assuming they were going to show me some fish because thats usually how the story goes........Well instead of bringing a fish home, they brought a Kitten! She was down by the water crying. She is really skinny and her bones stick out all over. She ate three of their minnows right away, so Maican calls her Minnow! I guess we are keeping her. Hopefully she gets along with our other cat December. He has been living in my dad's heated garage since we had brought Baby Beau home. We didn't want him around any pets. My dad spends a couple hours after work a day in his garge, the garage is heated when its cooled, and has air when its hot! He has been spoiled, and I think my dad is attached (but he won't admit it). December is scared of little kids, Minnow just lets Maican cuddle with her all the time!

Motorcycle and Four Wheeler

Maican has so much fun driving around the motorcycle he Uncle Zevlen gave him last year! He takes it everywhere with him! He sometimes wears his snowmobile/four wheeler helmet while riding! He always wants to go "really fast" He makes mom so nervous! One day I couldn't keep him in the house we so we brought the four wheeler in the porch, took the battery out and he spent all day almost sitting on it waiting for dad to come home from work to take him out on it. I have such a boy! We gave him his four wheeler on his 2nd birthday. He did really good driving it! Now my boys are pressuring me to get Maican a Kitty Cat Snowmobile. Maybe when he's a little older.....I'll try to hold out til he's at least 4? Mushroom hunting is so much safer.......or fishing? I love Maican................

Halloween 2008

MaIcAn did so good trick-or-treating! He had so much fun. This was the first year he actually knew what was going on. He had fun last year too running door to door, but this year he was much more stable on his feet. I didn't have to worry as much! Its nice that he is able to run along with Jamaica and Tayler. He was Scooby Doo. One of his new favorite shows! He is really obsessed with dinosaurs and monsters right now! He is so funny. Some of the things he says just blow me away. It is so much fun watching him grow..................................This year he had no problem saying "trick or treat" or "happy halloween"

The hair cut

Maican's first haircut was a success! It is so nice that his hair is no longer hanging in face. He can now see again! I did not let the "mullet" happen though. I just couldn't............its not 1980 anymore. I also didn't allow any shaving to go on. He sat like such a good boy. No tears or anything. He has before pictures, during pictures, and after pictures. My little baby looks so grown up. The pics are in order of the "new" Maican to the "old" Maican. He is so proud of his haircut. We kept a bunch of his blond locks.

Photo Editing

Aunt Jasmine is crazy and up to no good with editing pictures again. Maican will never look like this, but I thought I would share it with all of you anyways! He will not get his ear pierced, and hopefully will never know the word 'pimp' but the pic is cute no matter what. Here is also one of Jamaica & I. (p.s. I would never pierce my tongue!) Its amazing what photo editing can do~

Smile for the Camera

Maican had his two year old pictures taken. He did very well for as nervous as mom was! First I forgot his overalls, so we bought a new pair. Then I got his sweatshirt wet from trying to wet his curls! He only threw a few apples at the photographer-no joke! The sweat shirt he is wearing in the picture with the number two is from Aunt Jasmine- she bought in Rome last spring. He wasn't very happy by the time he had that outfit on. He had to take pictures with his beautful blond hair before I would get it cut! I am so proud of the smart little guy he is growing up to be.
