Couldn't be more surprised!

Well let me start by saying that about a year ago my sister gave me her Nikon camera to use. Her husband had bought her a new one so she just passed it on to me. And as some of you know I am not by any means a photographer...and at first I didn't really think that I would use it much..needless to say I ended up using it alot and I was just so proud to have a fancy FREE camera!!! About 3 weeks ago it broke and I was just sick..and I mean sick!! We found out that it would be cheaper to buy a new camera rather than have it fixed...but since I am a stay at home mom I knew that I could never afford one. Well tonight my sweet sister came over and handed me a present to open and it was a NEW NIKON D3000!!! A few weeks ago she called my wonderful husband and asked if he would go in half to get me a new camera and she said without hesitation he said YES!! I cannot begin to tell you how shocked I was... this was such a wonderful surprise and now I will have a great camera to take pics with for the holidays!! I just want to thank my sweet, sweet sister for even caring enough to ask my husband to help her buy this...they are both very special people in my life and I love them sooo much!! Thank you...Thank you...Thank you!! It is very much appreciated!

Our trip to daddy's hunting club!

Checking things out!

She has to touch everything!!

This girl loves the tractor..she gets soo upset when she has to get off of it!


Riding in the mule and loving every minute of it!

Yesterday we rode up to daddy's hunting club and Miss Maddie just had a blast. She got to ride on the tractor with daddy and then we all loaded up in the mule and took a ride! We just rode around looking at all the fields and we were lucky enough to see a deer! She loved every minute of it and so did I...his club is just beautiful and we can't wait to go back and spend a weekend with daddy!!

Little Stinker!

Well I guess Maddie decided that my tupperware needed to be rearranged..and I have to say she was right! Lol! So after she pulled it all out..being the well behaved kid that she is...she put it all back in!! I just thought I would post this pick..I thought it was too cute!

Well this past Thursday Maddie and I loaded up and went to visit with Noni and Popi in Tennessee. I have never traveled that far with just Maddie and I..so I was a little worried about how it would turn out..I have to say that it could not have been more perfect! Maddie never even fussed on the way up there at all and we even got stuck in traffic and were in the car for about 5 hours!!! I was so proud..on the way home today she cried a little but finally just ended up passing out. We really enjoyed our time with Noni and Popi! Maddie gets so excited to see them and they just love her sooo much! We all just sit back and see what Maddie will come up with next!! She is such a funny little girl and such a pleasure to be around!! I hate to brag..but hey it's true!! She just played her little heart out! She also loves their dog Chandler Bing! It took her a couple of days to warm up to him but by the end of the trip I think he was tired of her getting all the attention!Lol! She loves baby dolls now and when we got to Noni and Popi's house Maddie spotted Noni's baby doll that she had from her childhood...and Maddie just fell in love with it! She just kept loving on her..it was so sweet! She also loves her bracelets,purse,and backpack. To Noni and Popi...we just want to tell you that we really enjoyed our trip! We love spending time with ya'll and love you both very much! You are both very special to us!! Love you and hope to do this again soon!

Enjoying the weekend with daddy!

Most of this weekend was spent outside...and Maddie loves watching her daddy shoot his bow! She was helping him get the arrows out of the target!The huge smile on Brad's face says it all! They both enjoyed every minute of it! She also loves riding on his tractor and this was the first time that she rode the new tractor with her daddy! Sorry for the quality of these pics...I didn't realize how blurry they were but thought they were just too cute not to post!

Loving these beautiful days!!

Just a few pics of Maddie enjoying her day. She also loves to run through the yard and pick up our newspapers. Its all about the little things that make her smile!!

Daddy's shoes

Our little girl loves shoes...and she will put on any shoes that she sees laying around! I have tried to take a picture of her doing this for a while now but every time I get the camera she runs towards me to get the camera...another thing that she loves! So here is the only picture that I could get of her and as you can tell I caught her off guard!
