Poor 'ol Dad

Carving pumkins as a family is always a blast...look how happy Livie is!

What started as a family project, quickly turned to Dad finishing all the work...and cleaning up all the mess.

Maddie Turns 7

Maddie turned 7 and, she had a great birthday. When she was asked where she would like to eat for her birthday, she first said Red Lobster. I'm not sure where this fascination for seafood came from. She quickly remembered her NEW favorite place, and asked to go to the "Golden Canal". In case someone out there has never heard of the "Golden Canal", it is often mistakenly referred to as Golden Corral. She would rather get her own ice cream then have some one bring it to her singing "Happy Birthday". The staff at Golden Corral sang to her anyway. Happy Birthday Maddie!

On the following Saturday, Maddie invited a few friends over to the house for a Hannah Montana Birthday Bash! Even Grandma Susan made it to the party, where the girls played Witch Bingo, made Halloween crafts, and did their best Edward from Twilight impression (look closely).

First Day of School - Emmie and Livie

First day of Preschool for Emmie and Livie

Their Preschool is close enough to walk...that is not my lawn!

First Day of School - Maddie

I know we're a little late, but here are the pix from Maddie's first day of First Grade...and it was a little bright that morning.

I don't know why, but you always need to stand by a tree on your first day of First Grade

Her school is too far to walk, and too close for the bus...so, mom is the bus driver
