Pumpkin Fun

Maddox is finally feeling better but still really tired. We haven't been able to make it to the Ashland Berry Farm so we took a quick trip to a small pumpkin patch today to get a pumpkin to carve.

Ready to go get his pumpkin...

He found just the perfect one..

After nap time he woke up to find what wonderful job mom did on carving it... haha:)

"Uh Mom, why are you sitting me on a table with a pumpkin?"

Hmmm this is kinda fun...

Our own little fall backdrop we made.. tried to get Mimi in there too but Jeter was the only one to cooperate.

Now looking forward to the weekend filled with fall festivals and trick or treating:)

Fun weekend:)

We a great, busy, fun filled weekend:) Here are some pics of what we did...

Waiting for the train to go...

A little blurry... but Mommy and Maddox riding the train

Daddy and Maddox went to the Buddy Walk at Short Pump on Saturday.

Next up.. date night with Mommy and Daddy. Maddox was such a good boy!

Fountain again.. can't keep him away from those things

Sunday we went to the Folk Festival with Heather, Abigail, Ashley, and Brooklyn. It was fun but so hot. Here is Maddox enjoying a smoothie.

Miss Brooklyn.. getting so big:)

Playing in the bubbles with Abigail

Dinner tonight... this kid likes to make a mess.. he is a great eater though.

We had so much fun this weekend and can't wait for more fun fall weekends to come.. hopefully with cooler weather:)

New Camera!!!

I am very excited to say we finally got a new camera. Unfortunately we didn't have a chance to get it before we went to New York this past weekend. Although we have no pictures to show we had a great time. Maddox was better than I could have ever asked for and we really enjoyed it. I feel like I haven't posted in forever. Maddox is almost 17 months now and is getting to be such a big boy! He is saying a few words.. yucky and doggie beings his favorites:) He has gotten a little bit more comfortable at daycare and I think he is actually starting to enjoy it after I leave room. So here are just a few pics I snapped while trying to get used to the new camera.... but don't worry there will be plenty more to come!!!

The Richmond Zoo

Jim, Maddox, and I went to the Richmond Zoo today. The weather was sooo great and we had a wonderful time! Maddox loved looking at all of the animals. Here he is feeding a giraffe... it was so cute. Sorry pictures aren't very plentiful these days.. our camera broke so it's cell phone pics until we get a new one (very soon) :)!!

Chesterfield County Fair

Jim and I took Maddox to the Chesterfield County Fair today. Other than being a little hot we had a lot of fun. Maddox enjoyed the animals, the ride on tractors, and of course some nice cold italian ices. Always great to have a family day together.

Cousins

Jim's brother Bob and wife Traci and the kids stopped off for a night on their way from Texas to New York. Maddox got to meet his cousins Triston, Trent, and the newest addition Jaxon. It was a short visit but good to see them all!

Summer pics at Uncle Rick's

Heather and I took the kids to get their picture taken at Uncle Rick's yesterday. It was quite the adventure. Maddox is teething so he is VERY cranky these days... but Uncle Rick still got some very cute pics of them:)
