Pumpkin Patch 2009

Annual Tradition with my sister and nephew :)

I'm a Celebrity!

One of my girlfriends is "Mrs. Polka Dot Papers" and has a monthly segment on a local television station and this segment was on easy Halloween outfits to put together. She called and asked if Maddie could be a model and I told her that she may be a bit shy (from our experience at dance class). Maddie rocked it out on t.v. I was so proud of her! We had to be up at 5am, at the studio by 6am, thank goodness Kamme stayed the night to help out. After Maddie's televivion debut, we stopped by Shipley's for a sugar high :)

Maddie invited her favorite "peeps" for some grub!

Deer Widow, Maddie and the Rivermarket

So, now that it's pretty much just Maddie and I on the weekends (due to my husbands obsession to get a deer) we have been going to the Rivermarket on Saturdays for breakfast, the farmers market for fresh produce and to top it off, play on the awesome playground behind the Rivermarket.

Low Rider and a Sucker

GOT POTTY????

So, we're trying to potty train! 1 skittle for tee-tee, 2 skittles for poo-poo! So far, her sugar tooth is working for the both of us!

No, No Wonder Woman!

Just like the lamb costume last year, Maddie was not to keen with this costume :)

Future U of A Cheerleader???

This little razorback loves to call the Hogs........Wooo Pig Serrrriiiie (so does baby)!

End of the Year "Catch Up!"

Ok, so I have been a slacker blogger for the last couple of months. We have been so busy with life, potty training, volunteer work, etc. etc. etc. I think that I have had withdrawals from blogging! I am actually in the process if making "Life with Maddie" in to a book......well at least her first year of life. I promise that I will get back on track in 2010. Happy New Year to All!

A Night with Nite-Nite!!

I'm a Wokstar Part II

Many faces of Maddie

Maddie's 1st Day of Dance

Today was Maddie's 1st day of dance at Little Rock School of Dance. It was kind of a sentimental day for me beacuse 20, some odd, years ago I was taking dance at the same place!! I can still remember how tiny I felt up on the stage at Robinson Auditorium during our recital....now I will be sitting in the audience watching MY little girl up on that same stage :)

1st Day of "Big Girl 2B!"

Beauty and the Beach 2009

Maddie made her 1st venture to the beach this month. We went to Destn for a week with Wade,

myself, Kamee. Poppa, Kelli, Korbi and Kadie! We had a great trip! Maddie LOVED the sand, beach and the waves! She also learned how to swim under the water and hold her breath! She is totally our little mermaid in any kind of water (i.e. lake, pool or ocean)! The day we were packing up and leaving she was waving to the beach, blowing kisses and saying," Luv jew beach...miss you!" Now, any body of water is the "beach!" We are already looking forward to our next trip to the beach next year:)
