Lil' Miss
Shhhh.....while Daddy was sleeping we played in his boots! And with the boots being as tall as her legs, these boots were definitely not made for walking.
Working with my Mom
My mom took a new job in the area and is now working from the DFW area during the week. In the interim of her finding a place to live, she lived with us. It was so nice and I especially loved the time that she and Maddie had together.
In this photo, we captured Maddie 'at work' with my mom. Madison is a master at imitation and has learned that working at a computer combines the following: intently looking at the screen, then typing, then moving the mouse around, then repeat. It is so cute!

Halloween 2010
Alliance Airshow
On Saturday, we and the neighbors (they have 2 boys...Jake and Sam) packed up their mini-Winnie (Winnebago) and camped out at the Fort Worth/Alliance Air Show. It was 6 hours full of aeronautic display...with a grand finale of the Blue Angels. Pretty sweet.
While I have zero photos of anyone else or any planes, I do have some sassy photos of my Maddie from the day.
Who me?
See ya' Mom. I've got my purse and shades...I'm out of here.
Stilly some beautiful baby blues.

A few weeks back, we made a trip to San Antonio to see Max's folks. We had a great time as the entire group was in....including Niki and Alex from school.
On Sunday afternoon, Max's parents took Maddie to a company picnic while Max and I relaxed for a few hours. Below are pictures from Maddie's fun with the grandparents.
Gross! I know! But I guess when it's at the right height...you just have to bite!
Maddie is super into stairs, so she obtained her cardio from this bench all afternoon.
Booty shot! She did start the day with britches, but it was too hot so she ended up bottomless.
Mmmm...
And she's a rhinestone 'cowGIRL'

Labor Day Weekend
For Labor Day weekend, we went to Georgetown to hang out with my mom and her husband, Shannon. It was a laid back weekend.
These are my mom's dogs (Emma-left and Hunter-right). They were fantastic with Maddie. They gave her lots of cuddles and did not bite or nip when Maddie gave them lots of neck sugars.
The hit of the weekend was this toy that my mom got for Maddie. She is just short enough that her feet don't touch when she sits on it, but just old enough to hold on tight when you push her on it.
Wheeeeeeee!
That's my happy girl!

In August, we packed up and headed West to visit Max's mom's side of the family for a reunion in Solvang, California (about 20 minutes from Santa Barbara). And if you don't, know Solvang is the Dutch capital of America. The whole town looked like we were in Denmark, so cute. See.....
It was definitely a very beautiful city with fabulous weather. A great break from the 100 degree days we left behind in TX.
This was Maddie's first trip on an airplane since she was about 2 months old. It was very difficult to entertain her for the entire flight, especially since she is really into walking, but we did it!
Thank goodness we were still on the bottle during this trip. It was a lifesaver.
Blocking some rays on the airplane!
Eating at 'The Mermaid' in Solvang. It was very authentic and delicious. Gregg (Max's Dad) was very sad that he did not order the herring sandwich and kept trying to get us to go back all week to try. Unfortunately, he never got that sandwich. :(
We took a day trip to Santa Barbara and had lunch on the pier. Looking down from the pier, we saw this sea lion (right?...otter?...seal?...whatever) basking in the sun on someone's boat. Safe and sound from predators!
Santa Barbara behind us.
For lunch, we went to a place that let kids select a toy from the toy chest. Maddie (ahem, I) chose this pirate mask. We each took our turn for a silly photo.
Arghhh, Daddy-pirate.
Grrrr, Aunt Niki.
Mimi!
1st Captain Pirate Mommy
Maddie's Crew - these are Madison's 3rd cousins who devoted their time to Madison all weekend. They played with her, fed, her, entertained her, etc. This is what I call their 'serious shot'.
This is what I call their 'silly shot'
Max's Nana and Maddie - we are going to cherish this photo forever. Not only because how important Nana is to us, but also because how long it took before Maddie warmed up to Nana. To actually snap a photo (and a good one at that) was pretty much a miracle.
One of the group shots. We did have, however, a family photo taken with someone else's camera which showed all 23 of us that were in town for this wonderful event.

So, Grandpa Gregg was not so interested in participating. This was his attempt at putting on the pirate mask and playing along. Looks like someone needs to 'walk the plank' for a poopy attitude.
