Okra Strut 2011

playing with the white pumpkin, he said he needed a "fall picture" - ha ha!

This morning we went to the Okra Strut! It was a muggy morning but it was still a lot of fun! We rode some rides, walked through the booths, ate okra (well I did!) and got a wonderful fruit lemonade drink. Here is Madden with the Okra Man! It is definitely fall now!

My 33rd Birthday Dinner

We ate at Copper River Grille for my birthday dinner. The dessert was amazing!!!!!! King Julien joined us!

Catty

Madden bought a Ty Beanie Baby off of Ebay. He named it Catty and made it a bed. The cat sleeps with him and he carries it around and takes care of it. It is wonderful! :> Isn't it sweet??

Mopping Madden!

Madden has taken on a new chore...mopping! He does a great job!!!

It's Official!

Nick and Sophie are married!!!! More picture to come......

1st day of Kindergarten

Madden started Kindergarten today! He had a great day. He took his teachers an apple. :> He has friends in his class. :> He said the books were good, the centers were good (even though they only have afternoon centers) and that they do lots of reading! I am so proud of him!!!

1st Loose Tooth

Madden lost his first tooth on Monday August 15th!!!! It had been loose for about a week and a half, and it was hanging from a little thread. :> I put my fingers around it and it just fell into my hand. HA! He was so excited that it didn't hurt and that he could put the tooth under his pillow. We wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy asking to keep his tooth, she agreed and left him $2.

(So one is a picture of his tooth when it was loose and one is after it was out!)
