A Picture is Worth...

Football Fever

Friday night we went and enjoyed a little bit of high school football. Too bad the weather didn't cooperate for us to enjoy more of the game.

Summer & Water...Nothing Better

4 year Checkup

My little guy had his 4 year checkup recently. It was a great checkup. Friday came along for his checkup too. When my guy got his height and weight checked so did Friday. He got a complete physical right along with him. The whole deal (temperature, blood pressure, ears, eyes, shots) you name it they both got it. I was so proud of my guy when he didn't cry for his shots. You could tell they hurt but no tears were shed. For those of you interested in the numbers. Weight 50.1lbs Height 45 inches

School Carnival

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Maddox! I still can't believe that you are turning 4 today. It does seem like just yesterday we were taking you home from the hospital. All 9 lbs 14 oz of you!
You have grown to be such a wonderful child. The only thing to match your size is your BIG personality. I wonder every day what you will grow to become. You have so many interests. I pray that it stays that way. You are a joy to behold.
I remember your first birthday, watching you tear apart the little bug cake. You were timid at first but once that sweet tooth kicked in there was no hope for the cake making it.

That next year was a blur. You changed and grew so fast. You always noticed the world around you. By your second birthday you were fascinated by all of the construction in the area. You loved the tractors, cranes, bull dozers, dump trucks and any other heavy machinery around. You loved to look at books and you hadn't really gotten into TV too much yet...

You really started to come into your own from 2 to 3. You have such a strong personality. I delight in watching you take on the world. This year was a little rough. We really tested the limits for each other. I am glad that we both made it through without too much damage in our wake. This year you really let me know that you are all boy! Run, jump, shoot, kung fu...you wanted to do it all. Your heroes were Scooby Doo, Batman, and Daddy (aka Superman).

You have really matured this year. You are such a great helper. Still like to test me to make sure I mean what I say but you have been such a joy. You really are growing into my little man. Everyday I laugh and am amazed by the things you come up with. I am waiting with anticipation to see where next year leads. I was a little nervous about getting you a puppy this year but it has been great for you. Milo is your buddy. I love to watch the two of you play and run around. You are so sweet and caring with him one minute and rough the the next. You guys are perfect together. I will enjoy watching you two bond even more as time goes on.

To my son, I LOVE YOU!
Mommy

Birthday Party Weekend

We celebrated Maddox's 4th birthday this Sunday, but on Saturday we went to one of his classmates Maddison's 4th birthday. He had a blast both days. Maddison's party was at Jumpin' Jungle. We have gotten several invites to go there but this is the first party we have actually been in town to go to. Maddox had a great time on all the jumpy things. It was a really nice setup. I would definitely give it a thumbs up. After we left the party we went home and did some more prep work for Maddox's party. I can say I am totally worn out...I realized when Maddox's party was over that I hadn't taken any pictures. I had a ton of pics from Maddison's party the day before but none from our own. Usually I ask Auntie Shyra to take pics for me but totally forgot today and I even brought my camera. Maddox was set on having it at the park. We were a little worried about the heat outside in August. Although it was warm there was a wonderful breeze under the pavilion. Max did a wonderful job on the food. It was great seeing everyone. It was a great day at the park and we are so thankful that so many came out to celebrate Maddox's birthday and just hang with the Vige crew for a little bit. Thanks everyone for making our day!!

Ali & Maddox

Maddox just loves spending time with his cousin Ali. They don't get to see a whole lot of each other since she lives in Louisiana and we are here in Texas. When they do get together they sure do have a good time. Here are just a couple of pictures taken of the two of them when we recently went back to Eunice.
