Back to School, Weddings, and Pumpkin Patches

Well Fall is officially in the air! Madison has had a large time looking for pumpkins with Poppy and Vic Vic, playing with Halloween decorations with Mimi, and riding around in her new wagon that Poppa A got her. Grandy, of course, is on top of things with the Fall clothing, and always keeps her styling and profiling! Madison is really starting to talk more and more. She is starting to string out full sentences, and definately has no problem letting you know exactly what she wants!!

She is having so much fun at school, and is learning so much. She can now count to 10, sing several songs, and still has some issues with the "sharing and taking turns"! However, we are working on this daily. She loves looking for school buses every morning on the way to Mimi's, and her favorite line these days is, "What's that Daddy? What's that?" Very inquisitive lil' girl!

Below are some new fall pictures from all over the place! Hope you enjoy, and see you all soon.

Football Games, The Fair, and Labor Day

Madison and I had company this weekend from Jennifer and Reagan. We had a good visit that included alot of fun activities. We started the weekend attempting to watch Davis play against Central. Just an FYI, (2) two-year olds in a crowded set of bleachers is not a good idea. We lasted just past the first quarter. A quick shout out to Davis and Stephen, for both of my bro's recording victories in Week 1. Collierville won 47-0, and Desoto Central had a great comeback win at Bruce, winning by 7.

Saturday we ventured to the Delta Fair, and had a big time. We got to see alot of new animals, and Madison was very impressed with all the sounds, and rides. She kept going, "Look Daddy!!". Reagan had a mini-meltdown at the fair, but all was good. JA quickly grabbed a pronto-pup and headed for the exit. I mean, can you really go to the fair and not eat a pronto pup and freshly squeezed lemonade?? I will not talk about the rest of the night, as my college football season was officially ruined! Enough Said...

Sunday Mimi and Vann invited us all over for dinner, and we enjoyed a great meal! The kids played outside, and had a large time. Monday, we went swimming at Poppy and Vic's and they were 2 pooped kiddo's by sundown.

Hope everyone enjoys the pictures, and had a great holiday.
