Halloween at Aunt Chris and Uncle Ray's

I forgot to post these pictures from Halloween this year. Pete's Aunt Chris had a halloween party and dressing up was so much fun! This is cutie pie Oden. Stacies son, Aunt Chris grandson.

That is probaly the cutest smile I have ever gotten from Maddie in a picture! I made sure to let Maddie watch me put my wig on so she wasn't weirded out. She thought mommy and daddy were looked silly!

Petes Nana LOVED Halloween, she would have gotten a kick out of everybody

Betty was a Cat. Maddie LOVED it, she kept calling her "Mum Kitty" and talked about the next day. Betty took her ears and tail off later in the night and Maddie said, "Mum, where is kitty"

Still can't believe I convinced Pete to dress up. He never has dressed up before! Pulled the do it for Maddie card! Yeah!

Maddie's 2nd Birthday Party! Yo Gabba Gabba style

Maddie turns 2 years old! I can't believe she is already 2. It has been a wonderful watching her change and grow over these 2 short years. Her birthday partys was so much fun! From the minute she woke up we were so excited! Daddy got her a helium tank that came with 25 balloons! Always a balloon lover, Maddie jumped up and down and held every balloon in her hand. She loves Yo Gabba Gabba and Mum (aka Nana Bell) helped make a Brobee toss and Muno pin the eye on. I made invitations out of the Gabba boom box, I will have to post a picture of them!

She was so funny with her candles! She was shy when when we were singing Happy Birthday and as soon as the song was over she BLEW out her candles with out any prompting! She knew exactly what to do. She loved it.

Maddie loved her party! She said, "party party" and danced the whole time! I played her favorite music, and we played musical chairs with mats.

The kids loved the Brobee toss, I made little carrots, cheese, and green beans to throw into his tummy. All the kids loved it.

Watching her candle as we sang. Getting ready to blow it out!

All of her cousins together, so cute! We missed you Emma, Sophia, Leigha, Tori and Josie

Her favorite, PIZZA! And she ate her first cupcake! She ate the whole thing.

The fishing game; the kids fished for little prizes! Maddie peeked to see how it was working and saw her Daddy hiding down there!

Gavins Mommy thought it would be funny to rub his balloon on his head! It was! The kids got a good laugh too!

Happy Birtday Sweet Madelyn! We had so much fun planning for your big day and so glad you had such a fun birthday!

Trunk-or-Treat!

Wednesday started Halloween fun! In the morning Maddie had dress up time at Music Makers. I don't think she understood she was dressed up, but she would say, "I'm Pebbles!" after I told her who she was. She loved going barefoot and its very comfortable top so she liked wearing it. A little boy told his mom she was a cute green pumpkin! He said a green pumpkin is a pumpkin that isn't ripe yet! LOL!

Maddie picks the maracas everytime!

I could not get Pebbles and Bam Bam to look at me! They facinated with all the kids in costumes! Gavin loved a "kitty cat" and walk up real close to check him out! Nana Bell made Gavins costume! She did a great job!

We introduced Maddie to trick or treating. She would say trick or treat in a wisper and then wisper thank you. She didn't think much of most of the candy but anytime she got a lolipop she wanted it opened right away! She got her favorite white cheddar popcorn from Sis. Whites trunk and was so excited! She ate the whole bag right there!

Only way I could get these two to stand still! They make an adorble couple.

"Truck!" "Ca!" "Ca!"

Last minute we found out the hospital was having a truck show and we had to go and take our cute nephew Gavin! He LOVES trucks and cars and we were so excited for him to see them up close. There were fire trucks, police cars, army jeeps, helicopters, and more. Kids were allowed to climb up into the vehicles and press the horns! We had to stay away from some of the louder horns! Some of the trucks were so big Anita could barely push him up into the drivers seat, so we stuck to some of the smaller ones. It was hard to get him down. Maddie loves to play drive so anything with a steering wheel she was up for trying. Gavin's face is so adorable. Here he is in a HUGE snow mobile and we realized there was a hole in the floor so Anita is holding on to him tight!

Another truck catches Gavin's eye.

We couldn't remember what was happening in this photo, but it looks funny.

Maddie always got shot gun!

1st limo ride

Gavin is not impressed.

A short and sweet visit to the show. They served free lunch and drinks and there was other things to do, so we will try to go again next year!

Madelyn's favorite words

Maddie has been saying more and more everyday. She has the cutest voice. Her latest thing is
"Thank you Mama thank you" "No Dadda No" "Bye Mama Bye" "Good girl Bud Good girl!" for everything. We call her a good girl and we tell Buddy he is a good boy. But she gets mixed up. She also is calling her grandmothers, " Mum!" I try to correct her but it is what she wants to say! She hears me calling my mom, "mom" of course.
She has been singing since she was a baby and now she can sing a few songs. She sings:
Barney I love you " I da do I da do... " and then she kisses and hugs her stuffed animals or us when that part of the song comes.
ABC's She sings the entire melody to " Do Do Do.. L M N O P do do do"
Bumble bee song
Fresh Beat Band "Hip hop and pop...la la la la ..."

More Fall Festival Fun

This Festival is at GreenStreet Gardens on 258 closer to where Janet lives. It was a really cool place. We arrived a little late so we rushed to the face painting, and then the crafts. We made bracelets and neclaces. Maddie got a wristband for the hayride and she loved it!

There was an adorable cow train ride. Maddie was so excited to see it and wanted to get on it right away. She always has her very serious face on during the ride tho, lol.

Waiting on the hayride for Carolyn and Elizabeth. Maddie wanted to sit with her cousins. It was a pretty bumpy ride and then through a hunted forest! I grabbed her when a loud noise and puff of air scared us all! It was was really funny.

The hayride took us to a really cool slide in the hill. It was so bumpy, Maddie would only go on my lap so I got to go with her over and over!

This was a corn pit! The girls had a great time. Maddie got used to it and didn't want to leave!
