Dad's surprise Party

We threw a surprise party for Dad's 60th birthday! He didn't know and was SO very surprised. Gene is not easy to fool so Mom, Nick and I were very happy to pull this one off!

Nivens Farm

The adults!

The neighborhood gang (Me, Madden, Katelyn, Melinda, Will, Landon, Emily, Leta, Billy and Caroline) went to Nivens Farm to pick apples and pumpkins. We rode on a hayride, picked yellow delicious, red delicious and granny smith apples from the trees, and walked through the pumpkin patch searching for the "great pumpkin!" We had so much fun!

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!!!
