Christmas Day

Posing in her new robe.
And now in her ballerina costume.
We had a great Christmas this year. Maddy had a blast opening all of her presents but when she was done she asked where the rest of her presents were so she tried to open everyone elses presents. Micha suprised me with tickets for me and Maddy to fly out to Utah next month. I was very suprised and excited, a very good Christmas gift. We are fortunate to be able to celebrate Christmas with my family and Micha's. It makes for a long but very fun day.

Family Pics

Just a few family pics in front of the DeVaux Christmas tree.

Maddy's Cupcakes

Maddy wanted to make Christmas cupcakes, she made sure that hers had plenty of icing on them.
Maddy found this box and decided it would fit perfect on her head.

"Sleeping Beauties"

How cute are they? Winston loves to snuggle up to someone when he is sleeping. He always gets in bed with Maddy in the morning b/c she is always the last one sleeping. She loves that puppy!!

Thanksgiving in Branson

Grayson and Maddy
All bundled up waiting to ride the go-karts(No, I didn't ride)
Micha and Maddy in the go-karts.
We went to Branson Missouri for Thanksgiving with all of Micha's family. When we left Little Rock it was 75 degrees and by the time we got to Branson(2 1/2 hours) the temp had dropped to 40 degrees!! It was so cold, good thing we packed our hats and scarves. We always have so much fun there. Micha's favorite part is the food and relaxing. My favorite part is the shopping!! They have an awesome outlet mall there and I always go way crazy!! Micha knows I look forward to it all year long so he is pretty genorous to me. It is perfect b/c I don't have Maddy or Micha bothering me while I shop and can take as long as I want. Maddy had a blast too. We rode go-karts, played laser tag, went swimming, played at an arcade, went to a great show, and ate lots of good food. Overall it was a great little vacation!

Maddy's Makeup

Maddy loves to put on makeup! She also does a wonderful job of posing!!:)

Baby Brock

I am a little late on this post, but better late than never. JP had her baby on October 3. His name is Brock Carlos Rogers. He is super cute and doing very well.

Halloween

It's Ariel!!!
Maddy decided to be Ariel for Halloween and she really wanted to have long hair like her. So I found this lovely wig, which she absolutely loves. She wore it the whole night. It's pretty hard not to smile when you look at her.

Pumpkin Carving

Maddy drew what she wanted her pumpkin's face to look like.
Micha cut it out for her.
Wow! They are pretty scary!
Maddy watching me carve my pumpkin.

Our finished pumpkins. Maddy loved carving the pumpkins, except she didn't like pullling all the seeds out b/c she thought it was yucky and would make her hands ugly.

Maddy and Gabby's Reunion

Maddy and Gabby

Making sugar cookies with Grandma DeVaux. Gabby enjoyed eating the flour!

Trish and Gabby came to visit everyone in Arkansas. Maddy has really missed having Gabby around. They had so much fun together.

Labor Day

Micha with Maddy and Grayson.
Micha pulling along Grayson, Sophie and Maddy.
We went to Willow Springs with all of the Baileys for Labor Day. I think the adults had more fun than the kids.

Maddy and Sophie

We put the sprinkler under the trampoline and Maddy and Sophie loved it!! They played for almost 2 hours. I should have been doing this all summer!

Micha bought a Nintendo Wii and this is Maddy and Sophie playing the boxing game against each other. Its pretty fun to play and gives you a nice workout.

Wiggles Concert

Madddy got to go to the Wiggles concert with her friend Aubrey. They loved dancing along with the Wiggles. Maddy isn't that into the Wiggles anymore but she still remembers the songs and dances.
