Getting ready for Church

Madi "helps" Poppie shave every morning.  Then, they brush their teeth together.  They brush and then spit together.  Best friends...forever!

Stacy & Madi winding down before bedtime...HA!

Stacy gets a workout with Madi.  She likes to ride his back while he does push ups.  If Stacy isn't throwing Madi "up" in the air, he's swinging her or doing push ups!  Oh what fun!  I think their expressions speak for themselves!

Bath foam, lotion, toothpaste....

"Thanks Portia for the bath foam.  It was a lot of fun!"

Time to rinse!

Lotion time...

Tooth brushing time and hair blowing...

All cleaned up and ready for bed!

"Thanks Tandi for all your help!"

Fun at Poppie's

Madi's favorite thing to do...."UP"

We had a fun day with Madi.  We watched the UT mens basketball game on tv.  Madi was entertained by Stacy, Tandi, Pa, MamMaw, Scott, Robin, Amy and Cody.  We made brownies and hot fudge sauce to eat with our ice cream. 

Sock Monkey Surprise!

Madi loves her new sock money toy.  Thank you, Portia! 

She was afraid of it at first but then quickly learned to turn the crank. 

Her reaction is priceless everytime he jumps out!

Grammie & Madi

We met Lyssa in Scottsboro to get Madi.  On our way home we detoured through Chattanooga to take Madi to the Aquarium.  We all had a good time.  I think we walked ten miles!  We ate supper at Ryan's and got home around 8:00 pm.  It was a long day but well worth it. 

Dollywood

We spent a few days in Gatlinburg after the hustle and bustle of Christmas.  The kids joined us for a day at Dollywood.  It was Stacy's first time to Dollywood at Christmas.  The weater was cold but we had a good time.  Greg and I ended our "holiday" in Gatlinburg with dinner at The Peddler.  Yummy!
