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 ;)

 

Fall is here!

We have been in the swing of things the past couple of months, trying to get use to our new school schedule. Colin is doing awesome at preschool, he loves his teachers Ms. Genevea and Ms. Tabitha! He is learning so much, he is starting to write certain letters and is interested in writing his name. He gets excited and proud when he can show you a new letter. I found out by accident that C can say the pledge of allegiance, and he does fabulous with it!! We are so proud of Colin and how much he is growing and learning, God blesses us everyday through this little stinker pie!

Maddox Joanne is growing so fast, she is going to be a year old in a few weeks. She is everywhere, she pulls up on everything, stands, walks the furniture, and is chewing constantly on anything and everything! She has 6 teeth and it's so stinking cute when she grins :) M says mama, dada, bro, pup pup, bye bye, and de de. She has discovered Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and gets so excited! I think she loves it as much as Colin did at her age . . . she has even confiscated her brother's Mickey stuffed animal and LOVES him!!! Maddox also does the cutest thing when she's sitting anywhere, she crosses her feet at her ankles, and oh my it's almost too cute to handle ;) This baby girl is such a blessing to me and our family! Sean and I constantly look at her and are amazed at her sweetness and of course how absolutely gorgeous she is . . . God knew what he was doing when he made my girl!

Here are a couple of pics that I snapped from Maddox's almost 1 year photo shoot with Stacy, it was so fun!!!
