Maddie's First Hunting Trip

Nick took Maddie deer hunting with him Saturday evening. He said she had a blast but was a little loud! and wanted to know "Where are the deer?" Nick says it reminded him of the first time he took me hunting and I could never remember to use my quiet voice...wait...what is a quiet voice? Anyway I'm sure this is the first of many hunting trips she will take with her dad. They never saw an deer....wonder why?!

Cooking with Santa

This morning we took Maddie to "Cooking with Santa" at the Civic Center. My sweet friend Kathy, who has been on her "Walk to Emmaus" this weekend, provided us with tickets. We had a blast with Maddie and she enjoyed herself so much. Here are some pics from this morning.

The Finished product...and don't ya just love the FAKE smile!


First taste...so Noah's face says it all on how much they liked it! HaHa



Sweet Friends...they really enjoyed "cooking" together!

**We actually DID see Santa, I just don't think he ever actually made it over to our table. Maddie is already asking when he is going to come see her at Christmas!

Surprise visit from Uncle Jame

My brother came through town last night and stayed with us. He was heading back to El Paso and decided to spend the night on our couch. We didn't tell Maddie he was coming or that he was staying with us. So she woke up this morning and starting eating breakfast as usual and then Uncle Jame peeked around the corner and the look of surprise on her face was priceless!



"Too early for pictures", they both said. So this is what Maddie's hair looks like every morning when she wakes up and then I get to work my MAGIC!



They loved his VERY short visit!

Halloween Playdate

Tonight we went to my friend Kathy's house for a playdate with her son Noah and my friend Rosalynn and her daughter Bella. Kathy had pumpkins for them to paint, they ate sandwiches cut out like pumpkins, played with flashlights that had Halloween shapes, she read them "5 Little Pumpkins" and let them run ALL over her house having a ball! Thank you so much Kathy and Noah for the fun evening...Maddie and Wyatt are pooped!

Church Carnival/ Trick or Treating

Wednesday night we went to a church carnival at Nick's parents church. The kids had a blast and enjoyed all of their fun activities. Then yesterday Maddie came to school with me for our Fall Carnival...right after Wyatt's EEG. Last night we of course went trick or treating and Maddie did not want the night to end...her baby brother however was in bed by 7:30!! Here are some pics from the past few days.
