Maddox's latest hit

It still needs a little perfecting but here is his "Jesus Loves Me" in it's early stages =)

 

 

 

 

State fair 2012

Maddox and I went to the fair today.  Jim had to work so it was just the 2 of us, we wish Daddy could have made it but still had a good time =)

 

 

Feeding the animals at the petting zoo.

You can barely see his expression in this one.. but if you look closely you can see him saying "ouch" b/c the goat bit him.  I don't think it was too hard but enough to startle him.

 

Riding his very favorite ride.. this was the first time but he probably rode it another 5 times throughout the day =).

 

He got to play one game so he chose the duck game. He liked playing it and won a light up sword.

Ice cream time =)

I'm not a very good self photographer but here we are waiting for the pig races to start.  This was the main thing Maddox wanted to see!  It didn't disappoint, it was very cute and he still says that was one of his favorite parts.

His new prized possession, a real guitar! Ever since he played with one of my friends guitars months ago he has been asking for a "guitar with strings"... as opposed to his toy guitar with buttons.  So when we came across these guitars that were just his size I couldn't resist letting him pick one out.  That was probably the funniest part.. he tried about 10 different ones before he found the "perfect one for me" as he said.  Some weren't loud enough, some didn't strum well, but he finally settled on this one.. and loves it =).  I'm thinking this can be my story to tell about him once he becomes a musician one day!  He already told me on the way home that he needed to a music book so he could read how to play the guitar =).

Oscar the grouch... although he doesn't look very grouchy =)

And this was about 5 minutes after we left.. he was beat.. as was I!!  Early to bed for the both of us tonight =)

Picture day =)
