New pics of Xander-bug

Last Friday Macy had her wisdom teeth out and needed some help with Xander overnight. Mason and I stayed over with her and had such a blast playing with Xander. He's getting so big and is starting to smile really big and looks like he is going to have a Gutzeit laugh, by the looks of his expressions.
1. Xander laughing at Uncle Mason!
2. You're so funny Mason!!
3. Maddie and Xander 2 weeks ago! I can't believe how much he's changed since then! AND...Maddie is now in kindergarten. She loves it! She has Mrs. Harms and likes learning about new things. She got a "Good Student" award last week. She was so proud of herself! They grow up way too fast!
4. Xander deciding if Uncle Mason is for real. He has on a onesie that says "I pulled an all nighter"....it just cracks me up!
5. I don't know what's up with his tongue always being out...it's pretty cute though.

Maquoketa Caves

Mason and I took Maddie to Maquoketa Caves a couple of weekends ago. Maddie stayed with Scott and I that weekend, as Melinda and Kyle were in Colorado on vacation. We had such a great time!!
1. Mason and I cheezin.
2. Maddie climbing into a cave for another photo op.
3. Mads and Aunt Lissa
4. Mads after she climbed into a small alcove.
5. Maddie didn't want to climb in here, she was afraid that there were spiders in there. Mason really had to talk her into it. It turned out to be a really cute picture.

7. Aunt Lissa and Maddie for one last picture.
