Fun With Cousins!

State Fair

The Mississippi State Fair was in town last week! Katie, Olivia, and Maddox came to pick Stephen and me up from the airport (Hawaii trip- will post about that later) and we headed straight there. Maddox had already gone earlier in the week with Stephen's mom (BB), Suzanne, and her kids. They said he rode a bunch of rides and wasn't scared at all. So... Stephen and I wanted to take Maddox. I guess because he hadn't seen us in a week he wouldn't let us put him down... wouldn't even sit in the seat next to us. The only part he would get down for was the Children's Petting Zoo! All of the pictures above are from that.

GO DAWGS!

Maddox went to his first MSU football game. My sister and her family, my mom, Maddox and I went to Starkville and did the whole tailgating thing with my brother. We really didn't know how Rett and Maddox would do sitting in the heat in the stands for that long, but they did GREAT and had so much fun! As you can see from the pictures below, Maddox's favorite part was all the food. He grazed the entire time! Better yet.... MSU WON! GO DAWGS!

Sick, Sick, Sick!

Three weeks ago Maddox came down with a terrible virus. He woke up in the middle of the night Sunday with 103.5 degrees of fever. He ended up having a double ear infection also. On Thursday he started throwing up and threw up Friday also. By Saturday he was finally fever free and back to his old self. Well... on Wednesday of this same week, Stephen came down with the same virus! By Saturday night he was so dehydrated we ended up in the ER of MCG.

It was crazy... Britt and Brad came and got Maddox and he was at their house all day Saturday and ended up spending the night with them Saturday night. We cannot thank them enough for all they did. They are our family in Augusta so I guess that's what happens during situations like this. We're hoping to return the favor in December when baby Elizabeth decides to make her appearance!

This was Monday evening. He fell asleep in Stephen's arms while eating his graham crackers. PITIFUL!

Even though he felt TERRIBLE, Maddox still seemed to smile through it all!

Happy Birthday Maddie!

I know it's a little late, but our first born celebrated a birthday in September and we forgot to celebrate! Maddie, our teacup Yorkie, turned 7 on September 16th. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
