Mom's make the best playgrounds.

I know I do this often. I don't have a post for nearly a month, and then wa-bam! Ten posts in a day. I'm kind of a random person. Or lazy. You decide. I'm making another post because recently I've got a ton of cute pics, plus ones I forgot and left out on the other post. Also! I realized ( a month late) I forgot to blog about Ben and Max's birthday party! Which I have to do because it was just too cute, so keep an eye out for that, or don't. I need to mention, I'm pretty bad at editing these because usually I'm scrabbling to write these before a baby wakes up/ before I loose my train of thought. I'll re-read them after I've posted and often I find awful grammar mistakes, so sorry in advance, but you know how it goes!

So we bought this last fall and have already set it up and used it several times. Hendrix has a blast, obviously my child for husband does, too!

Hendrix taking his turn. He could play on this all day if we let him (some days we do!)

Maxie bear! I call Maxton Maxie all the time. Aaron says he hates it, but I hear him say it all the time, too. Usually he'll call him Maxie bear. 

Mom's are always the best playground. Yeah, that's my head they're laying on.

Seriously, you can't relax in this house without getting attacked.

The boys were playing with my hair. Hendrix will sometimes brush my hair. Lately Bennett wants to, too. Usually it ends up more tangled then before, but I like that they have fun with it. Max just pulls it or pushes it out of my face.

Sleepy cuddles from Maxton. I've mentioned it plenty, but Max is my wild and independent one. Recently Aaron and I decided we were going to 'force' him to be more cuddly. And by that I mean hold him more then just when he asks, sit him on our lap when he looks like he's slowing down. Rock him to sleep even though he doesn't need to be. Things of that nature. I really feel like it has already improved his disposition. He is such a fun little boy, but he can have a serious temper. I think this has made him chill out a bit. Don't worry, he still has plenty of spunk!! 

Never wake a sleeping beast.

Watermelon days! Hendrix was so excited for Aaron to bring one home. My boys are some serious fruit eaters. Bennett's loving it!

I had just put on a clean shirt after the boys dirtying my previous one. After Ben shared watermelon with me I had to change again.

Sleepy eyes, he feel asleep shortly after this.

Henri has already been opposed to watermelon with seeds (we usually buy the seedless), but today we taught him how fun it could be to spit the seeds out! Finally...we can buy the cheap ones again :) 

I love this beautiful weather

Maxton is all about sharing his food. Most of the time covered in slobber.

Bennett has one less tooth than Maxton. That's saying something considering he didn't get one until 4.5 months after Max did.

Sharing with dad.

How you're so funny! (Yes, he is giggling/screaming. It's a happy scream though.)

Whenever someone leaves they will chase them to the door trying to escape outside. Since the weather has been so nice we've practically lived out there. We have a smaller pool with a slide that they play in regularly (which I would say is why they are stripped down to their diapers, but we all know this is the norm for the Nelson household. Dang hippie babies.) But you would think they'd never been outside before with how desperate they are to get out. Little explorers. I'm actually dreaming of the day when they can be distracted by the t.v. but alas, it doesn't seem to ever catch their attention, unless I'm singing along with the show, then they'll glance at it to see why mom is stupidly singing at a noisy box.
