Move Over Cake Boss

Olin turned 3 and we celebrated with our close friends the Rudins. David outdid himself and made the best Lightening McQueen cake. Cake Boss would be so nervous if he saw this one. Olin couldn't contain his excitement. He just had to lick it.

Maui Maui

We just returned from a fabulous family vacation in Maui. The trip started off on a crazy note. We overslept and rushed to get out the door and into the car that had been waiting for us for over 30 minutes. Max was so excited about the trip that he got himself dressed and into the car before any of us, smiling the whole time. Olin on the other hand was screaming at the top of his lungs what sounded like mommy mommy from the moment we woke him up. We got into the car and Olin kept screaming mommy mommy.. Max turned to the driver and said " I think he's screaming Maui Maui"...we all had a good laugh and we were off. We had a smooth 4.5 hr flight and the boys were great (thank god for ipads, pods and phones!) When we arrived at our hotel the boys were given toy rockets, cars and stuffed Mantarays. They started dancing around the room yelling "we love Maui..Maui Maui"...The rest of the week was great. Max loved the hotel kids camp and swimming in the pool and Olin loved playing and rolling in the sand, riding the waves with daddy and of course, sleeping on a lounge chair for hours a day. Mommy and Daddy loved the r&r, the people that cleaned our sunglasses and gave us fresh fruit by the pool, the hot famous supermodel in the cabana next to ours...but above all we LOVED that the boys slept through the night in the same bed all week (and now they are finally sharing a room at home!!!)...for the first time we are planning to return to the same vacation spot. I think Max was right...Olin was crying Maui Maui..he must have just known what was to come.

We were eating dinner tonight, four days after we returned from Maui. Out of the blue Max says, Daddy, do you remember when you and mommy were jumping around dancing in circles? We were confused and he clarifies "you know, when we woke up to go to Maui and you two were just dancing around the house because we were so late. that was so funny Daddy"...
