Happy 3rd Birthday Maddon

I can't believe that Maddon is already 3! He acts even older, at times, while trying to keep up with Mason. He is a hilarious little boy who is super polite. He loves music/dancing, PJ Masks, Play Doh, eating chocolate, and chasing Mason around. He can dress himself and is becoming very independent. He thinks that preschool is the best thing ever and is great at making friends. His 3 year check up was easy! He was 39 inches tall and weighed 32 lbs. 3 oz. We love his kid so much!

This year Maddon wanted a Toy Story party with an alien cake. He has become quite fond of the aliens and does an awesome impression of them. Grandma and Erica made the cake exactly like he wanted! He had a fun party and is a lucky little boy!

Apple Picking

We made the trip out to Jonamac to go apple picking this weekend. Auntie Erica met us there too! The boys just love this place and the weather was so warm! There is so much for the kids to do, without being overwhelming and overpriced. We all had a great time and got lots of yummy apples!

First Day of Preschool

Maddon started preschool today and I don't think he could've waited any longer! He was so excited and was so anxious to leave to meet his teachers. He actually has one of the same teachers that Mason had so I know he's in good hands!

Such a big boy!

Mother-Son Night

For the second year in a row, Mason and I attended the mother-son night at Blackberry Farm. It's a really cute and popular event. They have dinner, a dj, games, etc. The farm is open only to ticketed guests so the kids can play on the playground or ride any of the rides! We had fun hanging out together and hope to attend next year. Maybe we'll even bring Maddon too!
