05.31.11 - Scenes from the "bay ball dame"


Maddie's been asking to go to a baseball game all spring so when Uncle Tim called today offering us some free Wingnuts tickets that were given to him, we gladly took them off his hands. We even invited our next door neighbors who have a daughter a year younger than Maddie. Her name is Kenleigh and they're good friends. Maddie calls her "Kennel."


Some golden rim lighting highlights Nate's crazy hair.


The carnival is setting up in the stadium parking lot for the River Festival, which kicks off this weekend. Maddie is fascinated with big trucks and wanted to have her photo taken in front of one. Even though she's dwarfed by this 18-wheeler, she seems so big.

05.22.11 - Scenes from Emerson's birthday party


The highlight for Maddie at Emerson's birthday party today were the chickens in the backyard. She had a great time chasing them and enjoyed it even more when Uncle Brent helped her hold one. She tried to show her Mommy but she wasn't interested!

05.08.11 - Mints


Maddie loves to eat the mints from Nan's candy dish. She can't just have one. No, she's gotta have a yellow one. Then a green one. And then a pink one. And five minutes later, she'll want to have some all over again.

As mentioned over on Tommy's blog, Gramma Karen stopped by today and wouldn't ya know? She brought prizes! Maddie got a new hat and a new pair of shoes. She wore them all night! Thanks, Gramma Karen!
