Maddux 6!

I realize this was like 4 plus months ago. Eek. Plus this is all the pictures I could find from his special day. :(

 Wake up, wake up Birthday Boy!

 One of the bummers about having your birthday during the school year is you have to go to school that day!

I do remember going to his class that day with cupcakes. And party favors for everyone. I also think we ate at red lobster that night. His favorite restaurant. I hope we made him feel special. 

The Boys

We refer to these two as the boys. They are so lucky to have each other.

Horsey rides

 

sundays are a good day to make a cookie mess. And a good day to wear matching shirts. :)

2nd Grade, Kindergarten and Preschool

Maddux was super excited to start kindergarten. It was impossible to be sad because the child was jumping up and down with enthusiasm.

Jadyn was very nonchalant, like oh its another year of school I still have 14 more years ahead of me. Oh yay. (insert her sarcastic voice)

And Bodey was a disaster. Im talking crying every day for 2 weeks straight. Crying in the mornings when Jadyn and Maddux got on the bus. Crying at school. Crying in the car. Death Grip around my neck. Oh Boy! He looks happy in these first pictures, this is before he realized Jadyn and Maddux were not staying at school with him.

Baseball

Maddux loves sports. The whole nine yards that comes with sports. He loves to play. He also loves the attention. He wanted our entire family to attend all of his practices. Not quite practical, but we did attend all his games.

Maddux striking out is completely gut wrenching. His sad little face. Truly heartbreaking! I have a lot more years of baseball watching. I guess I will need to figure out a way to cope. Besides that Maddux had an awesome season with a great bunch of little boys. Such fun! 

A penny

Maddux swallowed a penny yesterday. He went in the bathroom coughing. 

Then he layed on the ground and said "ow ow ow. I swallowed some money." After making sure he was ok. We teased him about pooping it out. And made sure to give him a hard time. We have told him a hundred billion times not to put money in his mouth!... A few munutes later he went in the bathroom and threw up, penny included. I was glad. Some lessons have to be learned the hard way. 

Maddux Preschool Soccer Season

 I only took the camera to Madduxs first soccer game. Which I really really regret, because he ended up being a soccer super star! It was really fun to watch him. Not because he has alot of skill.  Because he truly doesn't. But because he tries really hard and because he loves it. His first game he scored all 4 goals for his team. And thats how must of the games went. It was funny because he just does not give up. The kid probably burned 800 calories a game. I secretly would hope the coach would sit him a quarter because he plays so hard!  My favorite part was every time after he scored he would turn around and give us a big thumbs up.

The big 5!

 Maddux turned 5 on Sep 11. We sure do love this boy! He was really excited about his birthday this year and kept asking over and over how many days were left til it was here.

 (Jadyn is trying to make a five with her arms)

 We let him pick where he wanted to go for dinner. I totally thought he would say Burger King or Pizza Hut or even McDonalds. No, he wanted to get crab at Red Lobster?! Bodey calls it Red Monster, so we headed to Red Monster for dinner.

 Where they even let him pet a lobster. Bodey said "I dont want to pet the monster."

We don't know what we would do without Maddux. We love him to pieces!

Preschool

I decided to do preschool at home this year rather than pay $150 dollars a month for it. I am supposed to do it with 2 other moms, but one just had a baby and the other was trying to sell her house last week. So far it has just been Bodey and Maddux but it has been fun.
