Pumpkin Patch

Only in Florida do you need to watch for alligators in a pumpkin patch!

Sunday we took the kids to a local farm that had a pumpkin patch and tractor rides. I think out of all of us Liam had the best time! He loved running from pumpkin to pumpkin. Which was the biggest hit with all of them.....the alligator :)

Lemonade....for $1.25????

Playing with Michael.....

...a little too hard :) He does not realize how hard he loves on people

Last Saturday we were invited over for a lemonade stand. All of girls had a blast. As we were all standing around we heard the kids telling the customers that the price was not just 25 cents but yes...$1.25! Needless to say we quickly stepped in and corrected them all :)

A snapshot into our mornings....

Watching Imagination Movers
Cheese!

Strike a pose!

Maddy gettin' in on the action

My two clowns!

Every morning Liam follows Maddy around the house while she gets ready for school and needs to do EVERYTHING she does. If she throws her plate in the sink and says shes done...so does he. When she brushes her teeth and brushes her hair.....so does Liam. It is funny and she is so patient with him and helps him right along (who knows how long this will last but it is good for now :))

After all is done, both sit in the living room side by side for a few last moments and every morning I watch them and smile and think how lucky I am to be their mommy!

Once Liam saw the camera after catching the two in front of the TV he jumped up and shouted "Cheese, Cheese"....translation: CAMERA. He wanted to roll all over the floor and sit while I took his picture and then shouts..."BABY, BABY...SEE BABY"...translation: Let em see myself in the back of the camera :))

This is the smile he gave....LOL!

Maddy was embarrassed

"What are you doing here"?

Gianna on the rock climbing wall

Maddy made it to the top and rung the bell (was like 20 ft tall!!)

Now who do you know that goes rock climbing in a skort?? :)

Madison on her way up!

Saturday we went to Wannado City for the other Madison's 8th birthday. As you can see all the girls and yes....Liam had a great time! Our day was about 9 hours from start to finish including dinner after at Rainforest Cafe. Surprisingly....Liam did not have one single melt down!

A little of what Maddy and I have been up to....

Crazy hat night a Chick fl A for school...they made their hats :)
Silver lining skating shorts

Silver Lining Inc. pants

Since school started it seems like our life has become a whirlwind! Madi went to a school night at Chick fil A and had fun decorating her own crazy hat before to wear. Also, our friends have their own business and make/sell ice skating shorts that has really taken off lately. For her web site she wanted pictures done of her product so the girls next door and Maddy modeled the shorts while pictures were taken and I edited them for the site. I had to take out all the wrinkles and fix the shading and remove their body only to leave the shorts. It was very tedious but i got it done. I also again have been working a bit so......please pray for more work to come my way!

Liam's Baptism

Cake made by Rose for the "pre -party"
Having fun before the Pastor arrived

mini meltdown but the face makes me laugh

Mad's and Dad

Saturday afternoon we finally had Liam's Baptism at grandmas church. It has been bugging me that I haven't had this done for him yet because Madison was Baptised at only 3 months of age. Second child syndrome I guess?? It went really well and Liam actually let Pastor Gus hold him! Grandmas friends Betty and Miriam were there so it definitely felt like Grandma was there with us too! My cousin Leslie and her husband Josh were gracious enough to accept as Liam's Godparents :) We had a little get together with some friends Friday night at the house because no one was available Saturday night. Rose did an awesome job on the cake!

Madison starts 1st grade!!

Her new "best dress" as she calls it :)


We made it to the first day of school by the skin of our teeth! Maddy (as she likes it spelled and called now) came down with a stomach bug yesterday leaving us guessing on how she would be today. I woke her up and she smiled real big and said "I feel GREAT"! She was very excited to go and meet her new classmates and teacher. She got lucky and already knows two of the people in her class!
