Yum….

This was Madison’s first time to the Coastal Carolina Fair. We were not sure what she would be able to do, but thought she would still love to eat and people watch just like her MOMMY!! The entire Condon Family was able to go, which made it a lot of fun. We first took Madison to the petting zoo. She loved feeding all the animals!! Next came the rides. Madison was able to go on a few rides with her Daddy. She started out a little nervous on the Ferris Wheel, but by the end she was waving at me every time she went around. We eventually met up with Madison’s good friend Mackenna. They always have so much fun together. Now for the food….I think Madison approved of the fair food. Here is a list of all the things she ate and loved: corndog, Fiske fries, cotton candy, chicken fingers, fried kool aid, and fresh squeezed lemonade. The new food at the fair this year was the fried kool aid…..It was YUMMY!! We also got the fried cheesecake..YUMMY…the fried butter….the fried cookie dough. I thought they were all yummy!! All in all, I think the first fair was a success for Madison. Next year she will be able to ride more rides, which I know she will enjoy!! Oh yeah… I forgot to mention that Madison got to meet “Elsie”.

Treats

I decided to try and be Betty Crocker this weekend and make some cookies (all from scratch) for Madison’s class. I think they turned out pretty good for my first time!!

 

Yo Gabba Gabba

What a great show!! Today GIGI, CC, and I took Madison to see Yo Gabba Gabba live at the performing arts center. I wasn’t sure how she would react, but she LOVED it!! She was waving at all the characters and dancing. It was a very good show and it kept her entertained the entire time! (PS She loved all the stuff that kept falling from the sky) Everyone from the show was there including DJ Lance and Biz! It is so much fun to watch her have such a good time. I hope them come back to Charleston real soon. Thanks to Ann, I was able to get her shirt done in time!! Thanks again GIGI for the tickets.

      

Beautiful Fall Leaves

This past week Madison, GIGI, and I all went up to our family mountain house. We were excited to be able to see all the beautiful fall leaves. Our trip was packed with things to do. The week was filled with many things: we went to Kingsport to see Gigi’s friends, we went to Tweetsie Railroad, we went shopping, we did some relaxing, we went to the Wolly Worm Festival, we did a lot of eating, and some more shopping. The weather was just perfect. Here are some pictures from our week in the mountains—now back to reality.

 

    

18 Months

I am so in LOVE with Tamara's work it is insane. She has done amazing work with Madison and we cherish every photo. Again with Madison’s 18 month pictures she did not disappoint. They are all amazing! It is going to be a hard decision for the Christmas Card this year. Here are a few of my favorites from her 18 month photo session.

                            

O

This all began when we asked her one day if she wanted a POPSICLE!! Need I say more!!

Pumpkin Patch

So, I decided to take Madison to the pumpkin patch on Friday with my mom, just like we did last year. However, she was not into it like she was last year. She was not in a good mood when we got there and just wanted to be held the entire time. The only way we could get her to get down and walk around was to put my necklace on her. For some reason she really wanted to wear the necklace I had on, so we did-- whatever it takes you know!! So needless to say we did not get very many good pictures. We did get a couple of her next to the pumpkin she picked out!! Hopefully, next year will be a little better!!
