Family & Friends!

We have been enjoying this beautiful fall weather by going to the park as often as possible. This is usually the view I have once Madi talks her Daddy into taking her to the park. She's getting so big - now she stops at the street and looks both ways for cars then crosses.

Determination . . .

All the big kids at the park just flock to Madi's side. They love to help her up and down.

She's so proud of herself that she can walk across these poles by herself!

I just love some of the faces she makes!

Big girl - going down the big slide all by herself!

Here I come . . .

MUST. CLIMB. UP.

We haven't put lights on our house in the past but we knew this year we had to! So we decided to start early in case there were any problems. Let's just say it was a GOOD thing we started early. Poor Matt made so many trips to Lowes that I lost count. But Madison had so much fun helping her Daddy string up the lights.

It's a ritual now every night for Matt to take Madi outside and turn on the lights once it gets dark. She loves the lights! We can't wait for Christmas now that she's older.

With flu season going around we've decided to do a few home playdates so we can stay away from all the sick kiddos. Nora and Lydia came over last week for a yummy lunch and playdate. Although sharing our toys was tough at first a good time was had by all.

Here's Nora & Madison.

They jumped up in the chair and Madison said "picture mom." Such my child.

The big TUCKER turns one on the 18th. My sister and family had a Backyardigans Birthday Party for him last Saturday morning.

Here he is just saying "please let me dig in!" Too cute!

I love this picture of Madi telling Tucker Happy Birthday and showing him his present.

Grandma & Grandpa loving on the BIRTHDAY BOY!

The whole Scott fam!

He just loves balloons just like Madi!

All the kiddos . . . .

He didn't really want the cake after all. Just got a little icing on his hands and he was done. Thank goodness because that green icing would have stained for days!

Happy Birthday to Tucker (and his Daddy). Yep Tucker gave his Dad the best birthday gift ever last year by arriving on his birthday!
