Ok, ok, I know I'm impossibly behind on blogging so here is my attempt to catch up. Our computer crashed (for the 3rd time), and it finally died really dead. Plus I got a new camera for my birthday, and I'm not the most technologically inclined. So, it's taken me quite a while to figure out the new computer, camera, and all the programs. Anyhow, here is my attempt to catch up. We started out the month by having a birthday party for all the birthdays in October in our family (sorry, no pictures due to they are on the old camera and I'm doing good to be able to do this!) Then, it was off to the fabulous Texas State Fair! The weekend after that we went camping at Lake DeGray in Arkansas. That post is still to come, there are A LOT of pictures. Until then, enjoy the state fair!
This is Maddie Grace chewing her first piece of gum. She chewed it for about 15 seconds, then spit it out and she hasn't wanted any since. Huh, who knew?
Jack is showing me his gum.
Awww, Jack and Maddie walking through the fair.
Amy, Maddie, her best friend Hailey, and my friend Deanna
Hailey and Maddie enjoying a famous Fletcher's Corn Dog!!!
Maddie & Jack: 'Hookem' Horns'!!! We went the day after UT beat OU!
Rocky took Maddie down this giant slide. At first she was pretty timid, but when it was done, she asked to do again! She said it was one of her favorite things of the day.
Rocky, Bobby, and Steve (friends of ours that went with us). These guys decided to go on what looked to me to be the scariest ride I have ever seen. The best way I can think to describe it is like the Earth revolving around the sun-the guys are the Earth, but they are going super, crazy fast. They all enjoyed it, but they all said that it was in fact, one of the scariest rides ever.
Maddie Grace got her face painted like a butterfly
She remembered this game from last year, and it was her favorite thing ever!
And she won! Princess Jewelry! She was sooo excited!
Now to the animals: Maddie wishes she could live in a barn with all animals all the time.
Here she is petting the cutest little zebra...
Feeding goats...

This giraffe was surrounded by people trying to feed it. It would walk around and just stick its nose in the air and ignore everyone. Then it came to Maddie, sniffed her little hand, and ate right out of her cup. She talked to it the whole time, it was precious!
Maddie and Hailey, getting ready to go after a long (fun) day!
