Hotlanta!

We went to Atlanta this past weekend for my BFF's wedding. We flew down Wednesday so we could spend some time with Mike's parents.

Madison had so much fun at their house. They now are proud parents to 4 dogs! Madison loved playing with their 2 chihuahua's. They spent all day running around the backyard chasing each other. I'm not sure how Suk Hui influenced Mike but Maddie got one of her first tastes of candy, chocolate to be exact, that she is addicted to now but who isn't!?!

Madison with Lennox...sorry Lucky we didn't mean to forget about you!

On Friday, Dennis was kind enough to haul us all up to Atlanta for the Burzynski/Thaxton wedding. I must say that this was a challenge to try and get everything we brought up there! We ended up having to rent a van for the day! Sonia met us at the hotel as her and Suk Hui were our babysitters for the weekend. Madison loved their company. They did a good job of listening to our instructions. It's very simple to keep Maddie happy...Feed Her!!!!

We owe you both! This surely was a lifesaver and you all are very much appreciated for all your help!!!!!

The wedding was beautiful and the bride was gorgeous but we didn't expect any less! We were sad to leave all of our friends and family on Sunday but excited to be back home to relax before I have to head off to Michigan for a week long Sales Conference.

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thaxton!!!!!! We Love You Both!!!!!

Michigan Fall Festivities

We went to Michigan this past weekend to visit Magee and Papa and enjoyed all the Fall colors! Maddie loved exploring the outdoors with the nice cool brisk breeze. Thanks Magee and Papa for everything! We love you!

We were able to make a trip to Jollay Orchards and enjoy the traditional fall activities. As the girls get older it gets easier and easier to take pictures of all 3 of them together. Now we just have to work on coordinating smiles!

This was Maddie's first time going apple picking and as you can tell below the apples were a weeeee bit tart! We went later this year so there were no more Honeycrisp apples left (our favorite) *** tear :'( *** Only baking apples were left to pick.

What is October without going pumpkin picking!?! Madison of course picked out the biggest pumpkin they had in their field. That's my girl! We'll be carving pumpkins hopefully in a couple weeks so those pictures will be coming. I know that's kind of late but we have a SUPER busy October.

I think Maddie's favorite part of the whole day was the "petting zoo" The animals loved her and she loved them right back. She couldn't get enough of the little guys. She was able to feed goats, piglets, sheep and ducks.

The funniest part of the whole trip was when we were doing bath time on the last night. We could tell Mads was working on a #2 so we quickly and frantically threw her onto the toilet and sure enough...she used the toilet!!! I'll save you guys the picture but you better believe there is one out there of Maddie's first #2! She sure is going to love me when she gets older. :)
