The Kids and Some Summer Fun!!!

Maddox

Maddox's appetite continues to grow... but he's sometimes a little picky... I was really proud of him the other night when, even though he obviously didn't think much of the taste of the mixed vegetables, he kept letting me feed him anyway! It was SO hilarious, we had to record it!!!!


Maddox is standing really well, as you can see! He certainly is getting BIG all of the sudden!.....
And this Maddox's new favorite thing to do!... He loves to crawl EVERYWHERE, but especially over to Zion's "Elmo chair" so he can climb up onto his knees. He's so proud of himself when he does this! It's really cute!

Summer Fun!
We've been playing in the sprinkler lately, and it's a blast!!! It's been pretty hot down here in southwest Mo. So, the cold water feels GREAT!



This picture is from a couple of weeks ago when Joplin had it's annual "Boomtown Days." It's like a big community carnival with all kinds of games, rides, food and entertainment. (There were some pretty big name music groups here--Jars of Clay, for one!) Anyway, we had two strollers with us--one for Maddox and one in case someone else got tired... Well, Zion and Paige both decided they were tired at the same time... So, this is how we worked it out!:)

OK. Forgive me, I'm feeling a little weepy....your kiddos are officially the cutest kids EVER!! Oh, is there anything sweeter than Zion and Paige together?? And Maddox - what a trooper! What a good baby to keep opening his mouth even when it was so plain he was NOT enjoying those vegetables! We love your family, and can't wait to see you guys again!

That video was hilarious. I loved the way he kept shaking his head as if he was saying "Yucky!" I'm proud of him for pushing through it.
That picture of Zion and Paigey in the stoller is priceless. They are so cute and growing so fast. We miss you guys a ton.

The entire family laughed so hard at Maddox. Ava even stopped watching Dora, to see what Maddox was up to. I can not believe he kept eating those vegetables. This shows his strong will and determination. I can't wait to see all of you in a couple of weeks. Paigey is turning into a beautiful little girl, I love the curls!

I couldn't stop laughing at Maddox! So funny all the faces he made. But he kept on opening his mouth and eating another bit! Good job Maddox!

Malachi and Maddox could be twins! They look so much alike! How are you guys making your blog look so pretty?? Paige and Zion are SOO big!! I can't wait to see you guys! Call me when you have a free day! Love you guys

I'm sorry, but when a baby shows his dislike of something in such a mature way, you guys should STOP LAUGHING at him and feed him something he can enjoy! I'm in your corner, Maddox!! Much love!

Meghan said...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new look! So incredibly stylish! :)

We LOVED the videos! Sterling keeps telling me he wants to watch cousin Paigey some more (ever since he heard you call her that on the video :) We love you guys!

Too cute! Love the new blog look! You're so technologically advanced, girl! Can you teach me some of your blogging skills? :) Keep the pictures and videos coming! Lovin' em!

First, your blog is beautiful and second, so are your children! Your baby is just adorable. I love to lurk and watch your family grow! As Meghan's sister, it is so nice to put faces to her friends. Then I feel like I know who she knows :) You have a sweet, sweet family.

Oh my gosh...Maddox's video was hilarious!! I was watching it at work (multi-tasking of course) and I was laughing so hard that I was crying. My co-worker had to stop and make sure that I was okay. I can't believe Maddox kept eating his veggies - he clearly didn't learn that from his Uncle J! He is growing so much - how did he get so big? It's cool to see Zion and Paige love each other so much. Thanks for sharing your pics and we can't wait to see you soon. Love you all.
