Christmas program at school

Maddox had his first Christmas program at his school a few weeks ago. For weeks before the day he came home singing all of the songs, doing the hand motions, and looking oh so cute doing so. Needless to say I was so excited when the day came and couldn't wait to see him singing with the other kids and of course get it on video. Well just like everything when it comes to kids... not what I expected at all. He walked in the room where we are all sitting, saw Jim and I, ran straight for us, and wouldn't go back with his class or really sing anything. He was among many other kids doing the same thing.. or worse.. i.e. screaming, crying etc. I still wanted to have something to remember his first ever Christmas so I taped him sitting with Daddy even if he didn't sing much. Oh well there is always next year =)

The many faces of Maddox =)

We had a little mini photo shoot the other morning... I wanted to get a cute new picture of Maddox for Grandma's picture frame. After lots of trying and some crazy pics we ended up with a few good ones.


These first 2 are my favorite...

And here are a few more that are cute.. or just entertaining =)




Visit with Grandma and Granddaddy Fleenor

Maddox and I went to Grandma and Granddaddy Fleenor's today for a visit. We also exchanged Christmas gifts while we were there. With me working full time and just the hectic schedule of the holidays this was about the only time we had so we said what the heck.. who doesn't like an early Christmas gift?? =)

Here is the bird house Maddox made for Granddaddy.

And the picture frame he made for Grandma

A tackle dummy.. which he absolutely loves!!! =)
We had a great visit with Grandma and Granddaddy. We don't get to see them nearly enough but make the most out of it when we do =)

Halloween 2011

Last night we went to Mom and Heather's neighborhood to go trick or treating with Abigail, Jonathan, and Kate. As soon as we were about to leave to go out trick or treating it started to rain. It was pouring so it made for a very yucky night. We made the most of it and the kids had a ball anyway.



Buzz Lightyear to the rescue

Trick or Treating with his umbrella.


Uniqua and Buzz.. they were so cute together =) I didnt' get any good pics of Kate and Jonathan though =(


And the best part... the candy =)
