Happy Birthday, Maddox Joanne!

Maddox Joanne is ONE!! I can't even wrap my head around this fact . . . my baby has grown way too fast. This year as flown by and it makes me kind of sad :( Maddox is the most precious baby girl, we are utterly and completely in love with this child! She is happy all the time, she is sweet all the time, but she does have the occasional sass that comes out (most of the time brought on by her brother ;) It's going to be interesting around here this next year, now that Maddox is walking and trying to talk and having an opinion, brother bear better watch out! We celebrated Maddox's birthday with a party at the park, it was supposed to be a sunny, windy day high low 70s . . . . but it ended up being cloudy, wet, super windy, and COLD! Even though the weather wasn't the best, the party turned out nice and we were grateful to everyone that came to celebrate. The cold and wind didn't phase the kids at all, they played hard!! Us adults were the wimps when it came to the weather ;) (The sun did come out at the very end of the party)

Fall time fun

We went to Holland Farms a few weeks ago to enjoy some boiled peanuts, sunflower fields, pumpkin patch, and all the other kiddie fun they had. Colin and Maddox had a great time. They loved picking out the pumpkin and playing. Maddox was so good and hung out in her stroller a lot just taking it all in. Colin was everywhere and enjoyed everything! The farms had a "corn box" that C could have stayed in all day if I would have let him, slides, and a kids zip-line :) It was a blast! We will definitely go back next year!!

After we picked out our pumpkin, Colin and daddy carved it into the most perfect jack-o-lantern. Colin was a huge help to daddy and really loved the fact that he was able to use the kid safety carving kit :) Daddy and I were impressed with his "following the line exactly" ability!! Way to go Colin!

Happy Halloween! This year Halloween was on a Wednesday, so we went to church and enjoyed trunk or treating and our fall carnival. Colin and Maddox had a lot of fun, especially C! Colin and Maddox were Batman and Catwoman, per CMW's request and daddy was Commissioner Gordon. It was crazy and I didn't get very many pics, just a couple I took with my phone ;)
