Lauren's birthday party

We were invited to Lauren's 3rd birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese. Maddy wasn't sure what to think of the place. She seemed a bit overwhelmed. She went on a couple of rides but wouldn't go on them again. When Chuck-E came out she just blankly stared at him. Even though she wasn't sure what to think, we still had a great time.

The Birthday Girl

Maddy's first ride.

Actually enjoying the ride.

Not so sure about the Bob the Builder ride.

Standing on the Skee-ball game. This she actually liked. I almost couldn't get her off.

**OK - I think I'm finally caught up with the blogging.

A visit with Kaylee and Kerrie

Lucky for me, I was able to have an extra day off after vacation. (Mommom was away) So, Maddy and I were able to spend some time with Kaylee and Kerrie. It was nice because we don't get to see them often. Kaylee loves Maddy. She calls her "baby Maddy". Kaylee may look familiar also. She does some modeling and appears in Boscov's ads.

The Outer Banks

We spent the first week of September on vacation, with friends, in Kill Devil Hills, NC. There were six couples and four kids, all under the age of 3. We had a great time. The weather couldn't have been any nicer and the house couldn't have been any more magnificent. We went to the beach every day, but Maddy just didn't like it. One day she was able to dump some sand on herself, but every other day she sat with her hands up and a sad look on her face. So, by the end of the week we didn't even go down to the beach. Thank goodness there was a pool also. So, we spent most of our time at the pool. It was really rough. :-) The kids all got along really well. Except when Maddy decided she wanted to hit everyone. But otherwise, it was good. Here are a bunch of pictures from that week:

Morgan is such a little cutie pie! She's three weeks younger than Maddy.

Chillin with Daddy.

I love this picture!

Maddy and Max.

Can you see how tan she is? We applied and re-applied sun screen and she still got tan.

Who loves ya baby?

One of the only pictures of Maddy playing in the sand.

Our attempt to get a picture of all four kids at the same time. Notice there's only 3 kids and only one is sitting up. (It was our last night in the house, I think they were ready to go)

Norfolk Zoo

On our way to the Outer Banks we spent the night in Norfolk VA. So, before we left, we took Maddy to the Norfolk Zoo. She was interested at first, but that only lasted about half an hour. Here are some shots from the Zoo.
