August Addition

On August 27, 2009 we lost my Aunt Bea. She was my Daddy's half sister. She lived in California. Anyone who says distance makes barriers is wrong because she was an active part of all our lives. She always called, sent cards and visited when she could. Her love and support meant the world to Momma & Daddy over the years. We all loved her and she will be missed!!
This is a picture that her daughter Kathy sent me after Christmas last year. Kathy & Kays son Cody is the cutie on the left!!! haha George is one of Aunt Bea's sons and he is in the middle and Aunt Bea is on the right. Such a sweet little lady :)

August 2009

August was exciting.. I got a new camera WOOOHOOO yay me! So pictures will be back with a vengence.

August brought Six Flags for the Youth group. Sydney had a blast as always.

Syd also went with the Youth to the Southern Evangelism Conference and LOVED it. She was a lil leary at first but was so impressed so ended up going both days. The classes were AWESOME and she learned so much.

Hannahs birthday party was in August. It was at her house and was GREAT! Everyone had a great time. Josh grilled out and the kids had a great time playing on Hanns swing set!

There is a story behind this....Bayley was mad at Sydney and was telling her you NO come in.

Pam is so good with all the kids. Bay LOVES her. As you can see Pam takes sliding to a new level :)

Some Kids never grow up!

The best of friends! Bay loves her YIYA

Bay was NOT loving the swing at first

She did get better tho!

This lil miss priss is a MESS!!! She found Syds heels in her room and yup stuck them puppies on and walked around alike she had always worn heels. lol

August 13th was Bayley's corrected two year birthday. May seem silly to some but I would have given a million dollars to have been able to carry her until August 13th, 2007 and save her the pain and struggling she went through. It will always be a special day!

One Saturday we took the girls to the Botanical Guardens for pictures! It was fun. Bayley was pretty good but we didnt get the "money shot" that we were looking for. I have a 16x20 of Sydney that was taken in a field when she was two and I want to get a similar one of Bayley. We will keep trying. Our sweet baby girl!

Bayley Lauren Maddox

haha SERIOUS Baybay

Our beautiful girls!

Sydney Meghan!

Saturday August 29th began Sydney's Sweet 16 Celebration!!! She went to Buffalo Wild Wings with Breanne, Ricky, Chandler, Joanna, Amanda, Brett, Lacy, Bud, Desiree, and Emily! Christie was in the hospital again and couldnt make it. After BWW they all went bowling! She had a blast! Sydney loves all of her friends so much and they made her birthday super special!

They sang to her at BWW...her 1st cake was a cupcake princess cake...PERFECT FIT!

Sunday August 30th Syd had her big Sweet Sixteen Party at church! I have to say a big thank you to Jaz, Rachel, and Billy for all they did to turn the fellowsip hall into the COW party of Syds dreams! lol I still cant believe that Syd is turning 16!!! How is that possible??

Is this not the cutest??

JULY UPDATE...

July Started with a trip to Paul & Amys for July 4th. The girls had a great time playing together. They got in a lil pool time. Bay loved it which baffled us considering she HATES the tub. lol
Our lil July 4th babes.

Here is another shot of Bay with the Dora fountain thing. she liked it alot.

Jaz invited Syd & Breanna to Zacs house at the lake. They spent the night and had an awesome time! Zac came up the next day and took them out tubing. they had a blast. They finished their girl time with dinner at Sumos and a movie as Jaz's house!
What pretty girls :)

Sydney went to the Ryan Kinder concert at Alabama Adventure. This was Sydney's first year to go to AA and she really liked it! Syd Breanne & Chelse went and met Lacy, Desi and Emily at AA...they stayed in the park all day then came to our house to get ready and they headed back to AA for the concert. They all love Ryan and syd said he did great. After the concert Syd went to Lacy's to stay until the forth. Syd LOVES ttown and staying with Lace.

Syd & her Emily

July 4th was great! I always miss Sydney when she is gone so I was super happy to see her again! We all met at the river for a day of fun. It was a big crowd this year. All the usuals plus Buds parents and all the ttown girls came (Em, Desi, Christie). We had a great time and ate WAYYY too much!!!

This picture cracks me up! Bayley was biting her TOE NAILS...now how is that for talent????

Bayley HATES taking a bath...I mean SCREAMS every single time....and yet she got in her turtle float and had no issues with getting in the river... i mean small manageable tub vs. HUGE river.... that child makes no sense!

Bay & Lace

Bay LOVES her turtle and decided it wasnt just a water toy :)

haha Bay using Lacys chapstick!

Bay is WAYYY too cool for us!

Lacy thinks Bay looks Marge Simpson ;)

Bay wanted to sit by Bud. lol They were having a lil chat!

Nothing better than ending a great day at the river with a boat ride!

We ended July with an ALL DAY car wash for Soccer. We earned 400.00 which was GREAT! The kids actually all had a great time. We had a pretty good turn out...This is Syd and Mark...this is the extent of what Mark did at the car wash ;) Syd and several others worked from beginning to end ... others did NOTHING...but I guess that is just how things go.

hahaha I may get an 8x10 of this one!

such a Happy Face!

And last but not least...in July Rachel asked Sydney to be a bridesmaid & Bayley to be her flower girl!!! They are both so excited...well Bayley is clueless but she sure will be the cutest flower girl ever ;)
