Labor Day, Birthday, Sunflower Farms, Smiles, and More Fun!

Well, we have gotten busy again and it has been weeks since I have posted! So here is another one of my many attempts to catch up on all the fun happenings in the Fargo house! Madison is getting more precious by the day and always knows how to make us laugh and smile! We have started to enjoy a few fall activities and are loving the warm sunshine. Always something fun going on here...
Labor Day outfit! Such a big girl!
At the downtown Labor Day Parade...while it was a little long, we enjoy that our town puts on so many fun activities for each holiday.
A very silly smile for Madison and an unsure one for Quinn...the girls always have so much fun together though
Cool chicks in our sunglasses
Having a chat with Grandma
With Grandma and Grandpa at the parade
Flashback...this was last year at the Labor Day parade...looks how little our girls are!
And now this year (we switched babies though)...gosh time flies!!
"Hey mom!"
Loving on Grandpa
Kisses for daddy at dinner the yummy Lulu's BBQ
Dig in Madison! Guess she didn't want to wait :)
Fun times with Grandma...Madison was putting her hands in the cup and pulling out/tossing ice and she thought that it was so funny! Her continuous laughing made Grandma join in and they had a lot of fun!
Riding the horse
One night I told Madison that we the next day we were going to go to Nana and Papa's house. Well, Madison didn't want to wait until the next day, so she opened her closet, got out her bag, pulled it down the hall, and started yelling "Nana and Papa" down the stairs hoping that they would come get her...it was pretty cute!
Elmo stickers!
My little climber...she loves going to the top of the biggest slides by herself..."no help mommy"!
Silly kids...playing in the tube with Anderson
Hi Anderson!
When we went for our eye check ups, Madison wanted to try on glasses like Daddy
The cute birthday girl...Happy 2nd Birthday Emery!
Teaching Madison how to catch the ball
Patiently waiting for her cake :)
Visiting with Baby Turner (Emery's little brother). Madison loves babies and Turner is so adorable!!
Looking very cute but suspicious in there!
Madison loved picking the tomatoes and eating them whole from the Hancock's garden
We had a great time at Sunflower Farms!
Attempting the pony ride...so far so good...
And she's off...the pony didn't even move
She settled for petting the pony
Feeding corn to the goats with Daddy
Carefully carrying a whole tray of corn to the animals
What a crazy girl!! Not surprisingly, Madison loved her first time on the tire swing and had no fears about leaning backwards and swinging!
"Hi mom!", crossing the netted bridge on the obstacle course
Madison was a little unsure of what to think of this big turkey...she kept calling it a chicken though :)
Taking a break from the sun in the old car with Daddy
Crossing the bridge in the hay maze...this girl has such great balance!
"Wee!!" Catch me Dad because here I come!"
"Are you ready for me?!"
Another shady break with Dad in the hammock
So sweet! Daddy love :)
Crazy girl is back on the tire swing!
Matt was even a little surprised that she was being so crazy...that's our adventurous kid though!
"Two hats mommy!"
Matt sent me this picture from a morning at coffee with Madison...now that Matt takes Madison to Kiki's on the 3 days that I work, they sometimes go to coffee for a special treat...she clearly enjoys it!
Love this girl!!
Posing in her new dress shoes! Thanks Nana!
Off for a hike in the backpack!
It was a great day to hike!

A beautiful view of Boulder
Its no secret that Ellie loves sticks...in fact, she carried this stick THE WHOLE TIME that we were hiking...up and down the mountain. She certainly was the talk of the trail

Helping Ellie eat...Madison kept picking up all the dropped bites of food that Ellie knocked off and saying, "Oh no Ellie...here Ellie"
Me: "Madison, what are you doing"
Madison: "Wait here for Nana" (my mom wasn't even coming over that day...she just always hopes that she is so many days Madison waits for Nana and Papa on the 1st step :)
Always thinking of ways to make us laugh :)
Papa loves to cuddle with Madison after she has had her bath!
"Shh, I sleeping", Madison says
Oh no! You caught me mom!
(Not sure why my dad has the white line on his face...sorry dad, camera issue)


More recent pictures and updates to come...I'm really behind!!
