We're Back...

State Fair! Maddox and I went to the State Fair twice this year and he had a blast both times. Here's us at the fair with Katie, Bekah, Jamie & Dane this morning:

Tractors, diggers and lawn mowers! What more could a boy ask for?

Maddox, Corey & Bekah getting ready to ride the big slide - they're at the top.
Cute picture opportunity next to some Porky food booth.
This is Maddox making an "oink" snort with his nose. Apparently it requires him to have his mouth wide open too.
Um, not too sure about the cows.

Um, my lets were getting tired.

And I think that's enough of the State Fair. "Maddox, can you smile?""Cheese."
Maddox's new fall outerwear from Grandma Michelle.

"Cheese!" After swimming lessons Maddox gets to pick a sucker from the bucket. Usually we steer clear of the blue ones (for obvious reasons), but this day he got a hold of one.
Well, I got an amazing deal on some unfinished Adirondack chairs from Menard's, so here I am taking on the feat of staining them. I'll get a picture up of them all finished and put together from tomorrow's fantasy football draft.Maddox tried to join in on the fun, but his idea of fun was putting our telephone in the can of stain. Sorry if anyone has been trying to call us on our home phone. It's been out of commission. The funny thing was it was actually ringing a few hours later. I didn't attempt to answer it though. Oh, Menard's also had a 77 cent deal on a bucket of sidewalk chalk. Corey enjoyed this one more than Maddox did.
Maddox folding his diapers. What a great helper!

Well, almost a month of no pictures taken, but we're trying to make up for it. I'll get some pictures of the new patio furniture and Maddox's bedroom furniture ASAP.
