The Mischievous Mind Of Maddox

CASH 7 MONTHS

CASH

2010-02-04T23:37:00.005-06:00

Since I was so far behind I'm skipping a lot of pic's just to get updated. These are some more recent pictures of Cash. He is 6 months old as of February, 2. He had is 6 month checkup Tuesday and he weighed 14lbs. So the doc said he was a little on the small side with his weight so we need to try and fatten him up a little. He's a little deceiving with those cheeks but the rest of his body is so little. He doesn't eat very well lately. So in the next few days we're going to try some baby food. Hopefully he'll take to that better than the cereal. He is such a fun and happy baby. We are enjoying him so much. He has a smile for anyone who talks to him.

The Last 6 months of Maddox

2010-02-03T22:02:00.003-06:00

Maddox turned three 8.21.09. He seems like such a little boy now and nothing like a baby. Especially since we've had Cash. Here is a few pic's of Maddox's life the last 6 months. We tried soccer for the first time and found out he was actually pretty good (that is on the day's he decided to be a boy not a dinosaur)! He was pirate for Halloween and loved every minute of it. To much of my surprise he has been the best big brother from the minute we brought Cash home. I thought there would be some jealousy or acting out of some sort. But nothing, instead he became very protective of him. No one can make Cash laugh like Maddox. Cash is totally content as long as Maddox is around.

Starting Over. New Blog and New Baby

2010-02-01T23:41:00.013-06:00

I know it's been over a year but I'm finally getting around to updating this blog. So here's a few pic's to bring you up to speed with the last year of our lives! And I still don't have a title for our new blog. The Mischievous Mind Of Maddox obviously won't work now that we have Cash. So any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Maddox's first snow

2009-01-27T17:49:00.002-06:00

This was the first time Maddox has ever seen snow! Well it snowed when he was a baby but that doesn't count. When kids are playing in the snow somehow they don't seem to notice how cold it is! He's been telling me all day about snow angels! I have no idea how he even knows what that is. It must be something on tv. We are so glad we finally had some form of snow!!

We're Back!

2009-01-18T14:50:00.018-06:00

I know I've been neglecting our blog lately so here is a mixture of holiday pics and our trip to Jasmine Moran with Nana, Bella, and Hunter.

Like father like son!

Maddox got a guitar from his Great Papa!

This is Spike! Santa brought him. We're still a little afraid of him!

Christmas Lights

2008-12-10T10:32:00.000-06:00

Last night Adam, Maddox and I went to see some christmas lights. These were just the most beautiful trees. So I thought I would share them. Enjoy!

FALL PHOTO SHOOT

2008-11-24T10:29:00.011-06:00

We decided to take some 2yr old/fall family pics. Maddox did really well and we think they turned out great. Enjoy.

OUR LITTLE TURTLE!

2008-11-03T17:27:00.010-06:00

Happy Halloween!

Maddox was a turtle this year. He loved it so much that I had to hide it so it wouldn't get torn up before Halloween. This year he sort of got the hang of trick-or-treating. I think we stayed out a little too long for him. He got really tired towards the end. We went to Mom and Dads for our annual Halloween party. We had good food, and a lot of fun. And we fit trick-or-treating in there somewhere. I really think he will love it next year.

SUPERMAN

2008-11-01T22:36:00.006-05:00

I bought some Thomas The Train Fabric to make a new blankee with but I never got around to it. So Maddox likes to use it as a Superman Cape! Don't you just love Superman's new costume! Check out the video.

FIRST TRIP TO FRONTIER CITY!

2008-10-19T21:44:00.009-05:00

Today we went to Frontier City with Nana, Papa, Kandice, Kasey, Bella, and Hunter. Daddy's in Orlando this week so he'll have to come with us next time. Maddox loved the every single ride. They really don't have very many little kid rides so we rode the few they do have several times. He got to hang out with Nana while the rest of us rode the roller coasters. Hunter and Bella are finally tall enough for the big coasters. Maddox got a little upset when he couldn't ride them but he still had a good time.

OU HOMECOMING PARADE!

2008-10-18T23:09:00.002-05:00

We had a fun day a the Sooner's homecoming parade. I don't think Maddox really knew what to think about people throwing candy at him but he quickly got the hang of it. We got lot's of candy and saw some cool floats. We also had fun with our friends Aubree, Brody, and Claire.

PRINCESS MADDOX

2008-10-17T21:19:00.001-05:00

T T says this picture is for daddy! Apparently Maddox plays with some of the princess dress up toys at T T's sometimes. But if there is something he can put on his head he is definitely going to.

CRAZY HAIR DAY!

2008-10-16T21:00:00.006-05:00

Today was crazy hair day at T T's. All the boy's had blue hair and I think the girls had pink hair. Maddox really liked looking at his crazy hair in the mirror.

Thanks T T for such a fun day!

FALL ZOO TRIP

2008-10-16T19:53:00.010-05:00

It was such a good day for a trip to the zoo. It's probably the last time this year before cold weather hits us. We had such a good time. Jeana, Aubree, and Brody joined us. Along with Amanda and Hudson. Kellie, CoCo, and Tyler came along also. Maddox enjoys the animals so much I don't think he would mind if we went to the zoo everyday.

I'VE BEEN TAGGED!

2008-10-13T14:08:00.001-05:00

For those of you who haven't been tagged you are supposed to post the 6Th picture of the 6Th file on your computer.
So this is my sleep through anything and everything while daddy plays video games baby. Man I wish he still did that!

OU DAY!

2008-10-13T13:58:00.000-05:00

This was last Friday at T T's. Since it was the day before OU/TEXAS everyone wore their OU gear!

THE PUMPKIN PATCH

2008-10-05T09:44:00.005-05:00

It's my favorite time of year again! So we headed out to the Pumpkin Patch. They have a lot to do there. They have the Crazy Corn Maze, a Hay Maze, a little tractor race, lots of animals, a Hay Ride, and then you get to pick a pumpkin to take home. We had a great time and Maddox loved it!

MY FIRST DAY!

2008-09-17T17:36:00.004-05:00

Today was Maddox's first day at his new daycare with T T (Tonya). He had a great day playing with his new friends. He even had a good nap which really surprised me. This is going to be a great change for all of us. We're excited to be at T T's!

THE GREAT STATE FAIR OF OKLAHOMA!

2008-09-15T17:33:00.001-05:00

Today was such a great day for the fair. Good weather, great food, and lots of fun! Maddox really enjoyed everything. He's not very willing to ride in a stroller anymore. So he got to ride on daddy's shoulder's some. We rode the space needle and got the see a great view of the fair. Maddox isn't quite tall enough to ride any of the rides yet. So we'll have to wait until next year!

CHICKEN AND SUNGLASSES!

2008-09-08T14:02:00.008-05:00

There are two loves in Maddox's life right now. CHICKEN and SUNGLASSES (as you can tell from the previous post). I think he would eat chicken for every meal if we let him. And you would think the sunglasses were glued to his face.

SHADES !

2008-08-28T15:31:00.001-05:00

Adam took these pictures of Maddox and Brody this afternoon. The boys were playing while Jeana and I were working on a project. Adam said he looked down and they both had sunglasses on their heads. So he grabbed the camera. They really have a lot of fun playing together.

ANOTHER ZOO TRIP

2008-08-25T21:59:00.001-05:00

Daddy's on vacation this week so we headed to the zoo. Maddox is very interested in the animals these days. Most of the animals were out and about today. We went to see the snow leopards but we were too late. Once it got hot we left the zoo and headed for the pool. We really had a great family day!

BIRTHDAY BOY!

2008-08-21T23:26:00.001-05:00

It's not possible that you are already 2 years old! My how you've grown. My baby turned 2 today. This is such a fun age but at the same time it makes me a little sad. Your definitely not a baby anymore. It doesn't seem possible. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BEAR!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDOX

2008-08-18T08:34:00.024-05:00

We celebrated Maddox's 2nd birthday Saturday night. We had a great party. We went on a safari adventure on a hunt for a turtle, a kangaroo, and a baby crocodile. As our adventure continued we came across a parrot, a snake, a baby fox, and a lemur (a type of monkey). Maddox had so much fun with all the animals. He's not afraid of anything. He held, petted, and rode every animal. We had such a great party. We can't believe our baby is 2. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDOX!

DADDY'S SHOES

2008-08-12T20:50:00.010-05:00

One of Maddox's favorite things to do is wear mommy and daddy's shoes. As you can see in the background this isn't the first pair he's had on tonight.

HANGIN WITH FRIENDS

2008-08-11T14:53:00.002-05:00

We got rained out at the pool today. So we headed to the mall for some playtime. Our friends Aubree and Brody joined us. Maddox has no fear when it comes to jumping off of things. Luckily most of the time he lands on his feet.

WATCHING FRANKLIN

2008-08-11T14:46:00.000-05:00

Today I caught a few cute pics while he was watching Franklin. The first one he didn't realize I was there. Once he saw me he was cheesing all over the place.

Not So Little Guy

2008-08-09T22:11:00.000-05:00

My not so little guy has figured out how to climb in and out of his bed. I really would like to keep him in a crib for another year but I think he has other plans!

We're Back In Business!

2008-08-09T22:06:00.000-05:00

I haven't posted anything in a few weeks due to my camera being broken. But we're back in business now.

These are just a few pics of us playing at home this afternoon.

TANGLEWOOD SPA WEEKEND

2008-08-08T09:26:00.000-05:00

Last weekend we took a much needed girls trip. We went to a resort at lake Texoma called Tanglewood. We spent Sat. at the spa, the pool, and dinner. We reserved Sun. for shopping. We drove into Allen, Texas to the outlet mall. I got some fall clothes shopping done for Maddox. We had a great girls weekend, I can't wait until next year!

DINOSAUR BONES

2008-07-16T23:01:00.000-05:00

Today Aunt Alyssa took Maddox to the Sam Noble Natural History Museum. He had a fun day with Zane.
Digging for dinosaur bones.

I think this is a turtle shell??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA

2008-07-15T22:54:00.001-05:00

Today is Maddox's great grandma's birthday. We had a little pizza party at her house and did a little playing outside. We all had a great time!

Gammy got Maddox a little stool but he's using as a hat.
Gammy also brought the boys a big flying disc to play with, it was a lot of fun.

CELEBRATION STATION

2008-07-09T22:16:00.000-05:00

A few weeks ago we went to Celebration Station for a birthday party. I forgot my camera so a our friend Jamie took some pictures for us.

Maddox loves air hockey.

They have a giant slide, Adam went down with Maddox.

COOKOUT, TROLLY TIME, AND FIREWORKS

2008-07-05T00:08:00.000-05:00

We had a cookout and Nana and Papa's tonight. Everyone was there. Papa brought the trolley to ride in to go watch fireworks. Everyone loves to ride on the trolley. July 4th was so much fun!

Bella, Hunter, and Zane on the trolley.
Maddox wore his glow bracelets on his ankles.

I have some silly Papa's!

JULY 4th PARADE

2008-07-05T00:00:00.000-05:00

Nana and Papa's neighborhood had a parade for July 4th. Everyone decorated whatever they were riding on. So we decorated the golf cart and Maddox's car. Maddox really liked waving his flag.

ELEPHANT BUDDY

2008-07-04T10:29:00.000-05:00

Maddox's favorite animal right now is an elephant. Nana got him this elephant yesterday and it hasn't left his side.

4th of July Fun

2008-07-04T09:57:00.001-05:00

The 4th of July festivities started last night with a fireworks show. Maddox was all decked out with glow toys! We really enjoyed having fun with our friends. Here's just a few pics while we were waiting for the fireworks to start.

COUSINS

2008-06-30T21:09:00.000-05:00

Bella and Hunter came over to play with us today. Maddox does everything they do, he thinks they are so cool. I thought these pictures were so cute!

iPod

2008-06-30T10:29:00.000-05:00

Maddox wanted to listen to Daddy's iPod again. He's done this before but he always seems so surprised.

WATCHING FIREWORKS (BALLS & STARS)

2008-06-30T10:18:00.000-05:00

Last night we went to Eagle Heights Church to watch some fireworks. We were there with Nana, Papa, Kandice and Moose. Daddy had to stay home to study. After waiting 45min. for them to start Maddox was not as interested as I had hoped. He seemed to be more interested in the airplanes flying by. But he did call the fireworks stars and big balls. All the way home he was asking where the stars went.
We were all sitting outside when we realized Maddox had climbed on the dash in the car. He was yelling "I'm stuck, I'm stuck".

FUN WITH ZANE

2008-06-23T22:22:00.000-05:00

Zane came over to play with us for a little while this evening. So we decided to get the pool out. I really think Maddox would be just as happy with a puddle of water and a bucket. Anyway they had a fun evening splashing around.

FUN WITH THE HOSE

2008-06-12T19:21:00.000-05:00

I went out to water the flowers tonight and we ended up playing with the water hose!! He watered the entire driveway. He ended up very wet!!!

ORR FAMILY FARM

2008-06-12T14:44:00.000-05:00

Yesterday we went to the Orr Family Farm. Maddox is crazy about choo choo's so he loved riding one. We also took a hay ride, saw some farm animals ( his favorite is the sheep!!), and learned how to make butter (which he totally understood)! It was a very fun day!
Maddox and his friend Preston

Maddox waiting on the train to start.

The train takes you by a pond they have. We saw ducks and a beaver!!

This is the first and only time (I hope) that he kisses a pig!!

He learned all about milking a cow!

Maddox and his favorite farm animal, a sheep.

I didn't think he would pet it but he wasn't scared at all.

This is such a beautiful animal!!

Nothin But Fun Kids

2008-06-09T16:30:00.000-05:00

We got rained out for the water park today. So we went to Nothin But Fun Kids. They have tunnels, slides, and lots of things to climb on. They even have a costume dress up room, and a little grocery store. The kids had a lot of fun on a rainy day!!

SUMMER TIME HAS BEGUN

2008-06-02T17:37:00.000-05:00

Now that Maddox is a little older he loves playing at the waterpark. The water is still a little cold so he didn't like that to much. He went down the big slide a few times and he really loved that.
Maddox and Brody filling up and dumping out water over and over again!
Loves water guns, has no idea how to actually shoot one!

Oreo cookie mouth!

MICKEY HAT

2008-06-02T16:49:00.000-05:00

Our friends the Koch's brought Maddox this hat back from disney world. They gave it to him last night. Mickey mouse clubhouse is his favorite show right now so of course he loves the hat!!! He hasn't taken it off much today. This was this morning right when he got out of bed!

BUCKET HEAD

2008-05-29T16:25:00.001-05:00

We have so many toys to play with outside but pretty much he only wants to play with a bucket!

FROG BACKPACK

2008-05-29T16:21:00.001-05:00

Yesterday morning Maddox found this frog backpack in a chest under a bunch of blankets. Gammy got this for him a long time ago but he thought it was new. I wore it around most of the morning!

SPRING PHOTO SHOOT

2008-05-28T10:56:00.000-05:00

We took the kids to have their pictures made last weekend. They turned out really good. We kind of had a hard time getting Maddox to smile this time. But Hunter and Bella did great!!!

MEMORIAL DAY

2008-05-28T10:40:00.000-05:00

We had a cookout at our house on memorial day. The kids played in the pool and had a lot of fun with water balloons!! This was the first time Maddox has been in the water this summer and I really wasn't sure if he would like it. I was very wrong. He loved it so much he rarely got out of it. It was a fun day with Aubree, Brody, and Maddie!! Oh and baby Hudson was there also, it was his first cookout!!

FIXIN HAIR

2008-05-27T22:50:00.000-05:00

Saturday I was fixing Maddox's hair while he was eating a donut. He usually hates having his hair done. But I guess giving him a donut did the trick!! He looks pretty happy to me!

CHICKY TOWEL

2008-05-27T22:47:00.001-05:00

This is Maddox's favorite towel. He runs around the house like it's a cape. It's really a duck but he call's it a CHICKY!!!

RUG BLANKEE

2008-05-27T22:25:00.000-05:00

A few days ago I walked into the bathroom and found Maddox using the bathroom rug as a blanket. He thought it was so funny!!!

NEW BASKETBALL GOAL

2008-05-27T21:46:00.000-05:00

Maddox got a new basketball goal today. He's obsessed with ball of any kind. He's actually pretty good with the basketball. He played with it all afternoon and evening and had a meltdown when we had to go inside.
