Too Cute!


Alright already, I gave in a trimmed up Maddox's hair. He sat nice and still and watched Elmo. What a great sport, eh?

Here's Maddox patiently waiting for Grandma & Grandpa B to pick us up to go out for dinner. I think he's a little sick of the paparazzi mother.
A little sass...
The best $1.00 spent! Maddox and I found the cutest thing in the dollar isle at Target the other day. They had a plant your own Christmas tree pot. How cute is that? Maddox had a blast planting his very own Christmas tree and it's just his size.
All done!
Now we just have to wait for it to grow.

Play Doh! Uncle Scott was a terrific sport over Deer Camp weekend and played with Maddox for over an hour. Play Doh can be so much fun!
Deer Camp! Here's the crew this year: Brian, Corey, Drew, Scott, Maddox and Robby (my dad). I'm the one obviously taking the picture...

...and here's the cook doing the dishes (thanks for all the yummy food Mom).
Isn't this picture great!
Here's Maddox bidding Brian a farewell with a hand shake.
Of course, Drew got one too.

Daddy's deer! Maddox was quite proud of his daddy and the "Big Buck" as he proceeded to talk about all day.

It's butchering time!
The whole crew just before we got to work.
After we got the chops out I cut them up and cooked them right there just like my Grandpa DuBar did every year. I don't know if I did as good of a job as Gramps, but I did my best. I miss you Bumpa!!!!!
Well, yes, my dad has a torch. He was torching off the stray hairs that were clinging to the meat.
We ended up with lots of meat in the freezer and lots of deer sticks made up by Greg's Meats - DELICIOUS!
Well, that's all that's new around hear, so we hope everyone has a terrific Thanksgiving!!!

Halloween and more!

Trick-or-Treat!
Here's Maddox all ready to head out for his first real trick-or-treat extravaganza.
Ratatouilli part 2!
Here's Maddox on his way over to Evan's house to pick him up for trick-or-treating.
Checking out each other's buckets - they ended up trading buckets because they both liked the other.
Cheese!
Lindsey is in the background holding the newest member of the neighborhood, Kamrynn.
The first stop - they boys did great!
Onto the next house!
After walking around the cul-de-sac, the boys hopped into the wagon and toured the neighborhood with their daddy's.
Daddy trying to take Maddox's candy!

The poor kid finally gets to eat a piece of candy....a SUCKER! Doesn't he look so excited?
Maddox and I spent the other 70 degree day outside getting everything ready for Winter.
Maddox took his final spin on his bike before we put it away for next year.
Winter Wonderland! Here's Maddox checking out the first snow of the season. We went outside and he took off thru the snow and I had to go chase him. We were on our way to Rowan's house and I assured Maddox they'd have snow too. I guess I'm not too much of a city kid because much to my surprise there was nothing on the ground that accumulated up there and Maddox was a bit disappointed. Everything was fine when he saw Rowan though and they were off to play.
