Thanksgiving in Florida 2010

Once again I am late posting pictures...it is what it is! We had a wonderful trip to Florida to see Grandpa and Grandma for Thanksgiving. The day we left Denmark it was snowing(and it snowed the whole time we were gone) so we were very much looking forward to the warm weather in Florida. Grandpa and Grandma always make our visits so special and we thank them for all that they do for us! We love you! Grandma bought backpacks for the boys with their names on them. They were so excited to pick out toys to put in their very own backpacks.




Grandpa and Max love to eat chips and dip together. No matter the time(before bed or after swimming) they love their chips!



Christmas day we went to Aunt Connie and Uncle Frank's house for dinner. The boys didn't care to eat much so they went swimming. Jonas loves the pool!

They also played pinball in the game room. Max is awesome at pinball. Cousin Abby and her family were in Florida for the holidays as well. She is so good with the boys.

Jonas loved crawling on her. She is going to be a great babysitter in a couple years!!!

Cousin Abby, Cousin Dane, Max and Jonas had a lot of fun pulling each other around in the wagon.



I wanted to get a picture of all 4 kids but Max didn't want his picture taken. Kind of looks like Jonas didn't either!

The Bendixen 4 swimming in the pool, enjoying as much of the warm weather as we can!!!!


Jonas loved jumping in the pool. He would stay in the pool all day if we let him.


Max has on his Lightning McQueen bathing suit and he is so proud of it. The picture of Lightning McQueen is on the other side but he woudn't turn around.

Jonas chilling in the pool with Far(Dad) and Abby.

A beautiful Florida sunset! Doesn't get much better than this!

Our babies! Love them so!

Cousin Jonas the dog came for a visit with Uncle Chad. The boys chased Jonas around and hugged and kissed him.
Bathtime is super fun at Grandpa and Grandma's!

Playing out in the Florida Sunshine!

Grandpa and Grandma bought Max a bicycle and he loved it! He felt so proud riding with Far.Jonas and Uncle Chad with Jonas the dog in the background.

Max loves his Uncle Chad!

Max is driving Uncle Lynn's golf cart with Grandpa and Far.

Max is an excellent driver!

Work him over, Grandpa!

Jonas loves to eat cheerios out of his "spill proof" bowls. Thet say they are spill proof if you drop them but of course Jonas found a way to spill the cheerios by shaking the bowl!

MAX-I-MOOSE!!!!!!

This is a game that Grandpa plays with the boys. He puts balls or other toys in their clothes and they have to get them out. Max learned quickly that he could do this to Jonas.

Max and Grandma!

Jonas still loves the wagon rides. Max likes them as well but he has his bike and he also likes to pull sometimes.

Max on his new bicycle with his new(and a little big) helmet.

Jonas' turn to get worked over by Grandpa!

Jonas thought he'd try out the bicycle but he wanted to wear Far's helmet.



At the Tampa Airport they have this motorcycle sitting out. This is the only way I will allow my 3 boys to be on a motorcycle!!!!! Thomas, don't get any ideas!

Tivoli October 2010

A few weeks ago we had a wonderful night in Tivoli with Bedstefar and Bedstemor(Thomas' parents). It was fully decorated for Halloween with pumpkins all over the place.

Max has to ride in the airplane! You can see that the airplanes are made for little people!

Funny video

The inevitable

I knew it would happen...I just wasn't sure where or when. Well, it happened a couple weeks ago and it happened on our newly painted walls in our new house! Max decided to express his artistic abilities on the wall behind our bed. We have elevation beds(which I highly recommend!) and Max likes to put the bed all the way up and roll his cars down the slant. I saw him doing it one day and thought nothing of. I left the room to do some things and then a few minutes later Max called me in and said, "Momma, I'm drawing". And, not thinking(or looking) I said, "Great, Max!" Little did I know, I left crayons under the bed and Max found them and used them! I couldn't get mad at him but I did tell him not to do it again. Honestly, I thought it was funny because every kid does it and when we've visited some friends and their kids wrote on the walls I laughed. I didn't laugh in front of Max but inside I was! This may not be the last time he does it and if he does it again, well, it's just a wall. I've learned in the short time that I have been a mom that these little things are just that, little things.






Thomas' Mercedes

Thomas and Max went for a ride in the Mercedes but Max just couldn't stay awake.
