Little Miss Piggy

We started Halloween on Friday at Eastwood Church fall festival. Madi had so much fun running around and playing. She played a couple of games and got some toys.THe next night went to Frazer fall festival but it was so busy and not much she could do so we went home got some Tomitinos pizza and went Trick or Treating. We went with my dad, aunt and cousin down Thomas ave. it was a really great place to go b/c all the neighbors get into it and there were so many kids dressed up so cute. Then we came back to cloverdale and went a few more places to see some of Ryans customers. Madi really enjoyed all of it and when we got home she had fun sorting all her candy. I cant wait till next year I know it will be even more fun!

We had a big time taking Madilyn to go see Elmo live in Bham. We had some friends who took their little girl also. Me and Arin got the girls Elmo dresses made off ebay for the special event The girls just loved the show! They watched every second of the show, they danced, and clapped their baby hands! We had such a great time and cant wait to go again!

Poor Presley

My poor Presley dog was bitten by a spider last week and was taken to heaven today.I have had him since my 2nd year of college at Troy he lived with me in the dorm as a secret. He was such a pretty chocolate long haired Chi. I am having a hard time with this b/c he was with me for 9 years.
My sister and i took him to the vet and got him lots of meds so he would get better but he just couldnt pull through. I put him to bed last night and he just wasnt looking any better and didnt have any energy but i didnt think he would die i just thought he didnt feel good his body wasnt giving any indication that he was dying . I woke up this morning and went to check on him and he had just passed. His liitlte body just couldnt fight the infection. I know he wasnt in any pain he never made a sound. I feel bad for his Girlfriend my other long haired chi. They were always together and now she will be lost without him. Ryan,Danna,Madilyn, Girlfriend and me took him to the farm and buried him. Ryan built him a box so he would be protected we buried him under a beautiful tree in front of the pond and we put big concrete stones on top so he wont be missed. I have never had to bury a pet before and it is awful. Eveyone love on their pet a little extra today for Presley!

Madiyln started MMO at Trinity Church for those of you that do not know baby lingo that is mothers morning out. SO Madi is going Mon and Friday. She has been 4 times and only cried a couple of times. She loves to go and play with her friends and eat lunch. Oh and she discovered bead necklaces and just loves to play with them that is why she has one on in the picture.
She is growing so fast and is soo smart! I just love watching her grow and play. She is sooo sweet and loves to love on her mommy and daddy.

Family Beach Trip

WE had a nice time at the beach we went with my dad and sister a couple of weeks ago to the beach for a nice long week. We had a few hiccups but overall it was a nice beach trip. Dad had a few jobs pop with up from Pensacola to Apalachoila with the storm. Madilyn got sick really bad with stomach bug for 24hrs it was so sad b/c she has never been sick so Ryan and I were pretty worried when she threw up 3 times and had so many bad diapers.She cried herself to sleep then woke up drank alot of gatorade and was a happy girl again! We had some nice weather until the storm came in sunday night.
Madilyn loves the beach she would let us sit out there for hours before she was tired of it. We rode bikes and took walks went shopping and of course eating seafood! I will be counting down till the days next trip!
