Lovin' our Family!

Last weekend, Granny, Aunt Pauline and Aunt Debbey drove in from Shreveport to see Maddie. They haven't seen her since August and couldn't believe how much she has grown. Maddie has gotten so strong in her legs and loves to play with her toys too. We enjoyed visiting with our family and playing with Maddie bug. Aunt Pauline's birthday was the day they came in town so we went to dinner and walked around Market Street. Saturday, we put together Maddie toys for Nana's house and watched football. Sunday, Rae and I left to go home without Maddiebug and Buddy. They stayed at Nana & Papa's house for the two days so i could work. It was a LONG trip home and it was so quiet without them. Les was home so we had a good time together. We were able to go out without having a babysitter. Then, we came back to the Woodlands on Tuesday night for Thanksgiving.

Take a look at our fun filled weekend together!

Maddie's Time with her Nana

Maddie has spent the last week and a half with her Nana. Nana came on Halloween and just left yesterday. We loved having her here and Maddie has become REALLY attached to her Nana. Nana came to keep Maddie because I was invited to the CMA's in Nashville with Les and the Band. All the band girls flew out there for three days. We went to a concert, walked down the red carpet and went to a pre-party then headed to the awards. After the awards, we went to Universal Music Group after party. It was amazing, i had so much fun! Maddie was taken care by Nana & Aunt Rae Rae while i was gone. They took her out to eat, shopping, read books and played at the house. Check out some of their pictures from their week together.

Maddie and Nana's favorite place to hangout, on the backporch swing. She loves to be outside with all her toys.

Playing her exersaucer is fun now for Maddie because she can touch the ground. She has taught herself, from daycare, how to spin around to see all the toys. Nana fed Maddie cereal and fruit in the morning and cereal and veggie at night. She seems to enjoy eating a little more now. Nana bought Maddie some little brown shoes that are so adorable. They fit her perfectly. They look like little Mary janes but brown leather. Aunt Rae Rae and Nana dressed her up for the grocery store in her outfit with her new shoes on. So cute in little shoes....we are lovin' it!

Maddie loved pushing cousin Chloe's baby stroller around the house. She thought that was pretty fun since she has taken to standing up more than wanting to try to crawl. She might just walk like her daddy did at almost 8 months. We'll see......

Thank you Nana and Aunt Rae Rae for keeping Maddie, she was definetly spoiled and I didn't worry about her at all. We love you!

Little Ladybug

Maddie was a ladybug for Halloween. I know that i am a little overdue for the pictures but i have been busy, sorry. We (Nana, Rae, and Me) didn't go trick or treating because she is too little to know what to do. We don't really eat candy either so we stayed home and had Andrea, Carol and Damien over to hang out. We let the babies play together and they had so much fun. They kept pulling on each others clothes and talking to each other. It was adorable. Then we sat in the driveway and watched all the cute costumes come down the street. It was a fun but chilly first halloween for Maddiebug. Look at our little lady below!

Our little ladybug.....so cute!

Our little Devil & Little Ladybug

Daddy got to see Maddie dressed up the night before Halloween because he was leaving that night for a 3 week tour. He missed her first halloween so we created it the night before. She wasn't too happy about it though :(
