First Haircut!

Jon and I took Maddy the other night to get her first hair cut. It was time. Got probably an inch and a half off I'd say. It looks much nicer. It was starting to really look thin. She did very well sitting up in the chair until she was almost done and she just couldn't help but shake her head back and forth to feel the shorter hair, haha. So it was kind of tough finishing up but the stylist (my cousin) did a great job. Maddy enjoyed a few licks of a sucker and then dinner with mom and dad afterwards.

As good as a before shot as I could get. She was not cooperating with the camera.











A few bonus pictures:


She has a cold right now and yesterday her poor nose and cheeks got so red. It's much better today though. She was trying on the new jacket I got her. I was hoping last years would still work but it is too small. Got this one at Macy's for 25 dollars and it was originally 75! I didn't believe it until I actually had the lady ring it up and it was $25.


We are still in the middle of moving but it's coming along. Jon is loving his job and mine is going well. We are both tired by the end of the day. Jon had his birthday yesterday, the big 2-9. We'll have to have a party for him next year. He went and had lunch with a friend and then we had dinner and fruit pizza instead of cake. Maddy and Bridgette loved getting to put the fruit on top and especially loved eating it! Thanksgiving is coming up and we are waiting to see when Jon will have off before we make any plans. I have Thanksgiving and then friday and the weekend off.

Happy Halloween!

Maddy had a big day yesterday. First she had a party at school, I went to help out. I read a book about mummy's and then we used toilet paper to turn all the kids into little mummy's. They all had fun. I only got a couple pictures.




We went home and she couldn't even wait to get her coat off before she was going through all of the goodies she got at school.







We drove to my moms because I had work the next day and we went trick or treating. We walked around to a few neighbors and then drove over to a local church that had a big thing going on where the kids could walk around to different tables and trick or treat. It was really neat and lots of cool costumes. Maddy LOVES to trick or treat and she's not afraid of anything. She loved all the big spiders and monsters. My sister and I took her and her cousin Bridgette around.










Sitting with my Uncle Brian enjoying her hard earned candy.



Bridgette


Poor Wyatt was not happy with his bucket.


Here is Maddy the monster and her sitting on a scary guy's lap. She walked right up to this guy and for some reason decided to give him a kiss and then sat on his lap! I have no idea who he is, some guy handing out candy at the church.



I think that's it! We are in the middle of moving, which is a lot of fun trying to find time now that I'm working and Jon only has a couple days off before he starts his new job. My nephew's first birthday party is tomorrow, this year has really flown by. Hope you enjoyed the photos!

New Pictures!

I promiesd pictures a month ago! Here they are! From oldest to newest.












I took pictures of my nephew when he was 9 months. He just turned 1 yesterday!






First day at daycare! She started preschool soon after. She loves it!




The first of many, ok every day since, she has come home from daycare filthy from playing so hard outside.




Pictures I took for her 3 year photos. The camera battery died after five minutes so I'm lucky I got what I got!








This is the actual day of her birthday. While she was napping I set out a small cake and put out a birthday balloon, which is what she kept asking for. She played with that balloon until I had to sneak it in the trash because it was deflated.





I found her like this one night.


This is one of the toys she picked out with her birthday money.



Birthday Party! First they painted pumpkins. Then presents and cake. We had it in the evening and Maddy and Bridgette sort of fell apart because they were tired.










We made a cake with her playdough birthday set she got.



She got a little kid makeup set, this was the first time we put it on and she ran to the bathroom to see. The pictures are blury unfortunately.







Picture day at school. I didn't buy any so I took her picture before we left.






We went to Kentucky to see a couple friends. She fell in love with this dog as soon as she saw him and Presley is her new best friend! She loved baby Jensen too.
