Carving Pumpkins

After getting the perfect pumpkins yesterday, we decided to have a go at carving. :) They turned out pretty good!! :) A cat and a silly face. If you are in town, take a look. Here are a few funny pictures. Maddie wasn't too sure about the whole inside of the pumpkin thing. Full of goo...she's a true GIRL. :)

Fun at Robinettes

We went to Robinettes Apple Haus to find the perfect pumpkin and have cider and donuts yesterday. Maddie had fun going down the slide and thought the HUGE apple was just too cool. We found our perfect pumpkins and had a great time!!

YEH!! PUDDLES!!

How much fun...to be a kid. :) We were leaving my parents today and I just couldn't hold Maddie back from the puddles. You know...why not!! That's the best part of being a kid, enjoying the small things in life like mud puddles. We could all use a little of that sense once in a while. ;) I just so happen to have my camera on hand...;)

Reunion '07

This past Saturday I had my 10 year high school class reunion. (yeah...ten years) :) It was such a blast!! We got to see people we haven't seen in years and just party. I didn't bring my camera
( yeah, I know not like me AT ALL). We brought the projector and laptop, so I didn't want to haul my camera too. :( I'm sorry I didn't but I have snagged some great pictures from Amy N., Joy D. and Stephanie L. Thanks so much ladies!!!

Pony Rides

Today we got bundled up and went up by D&W where they had pony rides. :) Maddie LOVED IT. She was so excited and giggled the whole time. Here are a few shots.

Maddie's First Braids

All of you know how LITTLE hair Maddie had for such a LONG time...LOOK!!!!!!! French braids! :) She sat so good for me to do this.

Maddie's Two Favorite Boys...

I just had to post these two pictures. :) One is of Jackson wearing some of Maddie's PJ's (due to an accident...it's ok Jackson!) and the other is Thys at our house on Monday who is just a DOLL. These are Maddie's two favorite little boys and we love them to death.

Vegas BABY!!!

We got home from Las Vegas on Thursday and well...I'm just now able to be awake long enough to type up a post!! :) No....really, we had a wonderful time and have some fun memories that will last a life time. A big thanks goes out to Thom and Betty Rosely for inviting Tom, Dan and Jamie to be a part of the Oxford Golf Pro/Am golf tournament. All thought they didn't win the whole thing, they had a great time and learned so much. Tom and I also want to send thanks to Dad and Mom Hosford for the trip. :) We had a BLAST!!! Lots of fun in the sun and great drinks. ;)

Maddie had so much fun back home, she is STILL talking about all of her "friends". :) She spent time with Uncle Jay, Aunt JoJo and Thys. Uncle Adam, Aunt Melissa and Jackson. Had dinner with Uncle Austin and Aunt K.K. and then stayed with Papa and Grandma Fanning. Lots of places and lots of F.U.N.!!!! Thank you all for taking such great care of our sweetie. We know she is loved very much.

Here are some great pictures from our trip. The shots of "the strip" were from our room window. :D Love that view!!! I especially love the one of Mom and Dad walking hand-in-hand. :D

GO GVSU!!!

It's such a different experience now, going to a Grand Valley football game. Not only that it's been a few years since Tom and Dan graced the field, but now we really don't know any of the players. ( yes...Tom is getting THAT old) ;) Even with that said it's always so fun to watch the current Laker players have their turn and do such an amazing job. Tonight's game against Wayne State, was actually held at 53rd Ball Park, which was so fun. They had the whole "baseball" field set up as a football field and it worked out perfectly. Here are some fun shots from the night. Great job Lakers!!

We'll miss you Maddie Poo

Tom and I are going to Las Vegas for a few days with Dan&Tracy, and Tom's Parents. Talk about a VERY hard decision. Of course we are really excited to go, but it's going to be tough leaving Maddie for that long. We have the best friends in the world watching her as well as my parents so we know she will be in good hands. We also have someone watching the house and Lilah, so that's also all set. Now, it's just time to relax and have fun. :) These are pictures from on the porch yesterday. :) See you all when we get home.
