There we all are on Olivia’s first day home. Oh yes her name is Olivia Paige.

Here is a picture of just Olivia.

So far all she seems to do is sleep but don’t worry I will fix that soon.

Remember Maddie Rules (at least I think I do, maybe , I hope so )

Now if Grandpa could figure a way to bottle that energy he would be extremely rich

I love my peas and have become quite a ham.

Catch me if you can Grandpa!

Every little thing gets my interest

Then Grandpa visited after Christmas when I had added two new words to my vocabulary – Santa and up

And he quickly learned that when I said up it meant NOW!!!

After all Maddie Rules!

Even the pig got into the party.

Then came the best part the cake.

I really liked eating the cake. Unfortunately I wore a bit too much so….

So I had to go take a bath to remove the excess. Grrrrrrrr……

But then the good things came again as ….

It was just like Christmas again. I liked Christmas and I really liked this birthday thing too.

Will have to do this again and I will as Maddie Rules!!!!

Slowly I approached him. (Gotta keep him curious and make sure he comes by more often;) )

Finally I gave him a grin (to let him know I know have choppers 3 up and 3 down)

I gave him my best Pleasssssseeeee face to see if it works on him (It does he is a softy)

I went through some of my repertoire (can’t let him see them all then there would be no reason to come back )

I did give him just a hint of how fast I can maneuver and find things (not trouble of course)

Then Grandpa and I got to play on the deck while Mommy and Daddy were working on the back yard. (Seems there is a party there this Saturday. Wonder what that’s about? Me of course)

Daddy was working on cleaning the pool so of course I had to get my feet wet. but…

That wasn’t enough for me and as Maddie Rules (we all should know that by now) I got to do a bit of swimming too.

More pics after the party on Saturday. Grandpa says he wants a picture of me in all cake. We shall see.

Maddie

I loved the beach and the sand tasted yummy.

Here I am with Mommy and Daddy.

Nap time I got into my cocoon so the horse flies couldn’t get me.

Playing in the sand was my favorite part.

The sand really tasted good and over the week I ate my share.

Playing in the sand made me thirsty. (Oh Mommy said it made me dirty too)

Can’t tell you what I am thinking or I would get in trouble

They tried this to keep me clean but it was more fun in the sand.

The shade was nice as long as I could play in the sand.

At night we would run on the boardwalk where there was lots of good things to see and more importantly to eat.

Think this shore thing and the beach is somewhere I want to go again and again and again.

Remember that Maddie Rules so I am sure we will get to go again.

Yesterday was the dedication and there were a lot of people here to see me. (Yep it is all about me.)

This was me and Grandpa.

This was me with Grandma Hilary.

Here are my cousin’s hiding inside. Did not want to share the attention with them

Boy the crowd sure did a number on the food.

Here is me with lots more people.

Even more people. Daddy cooked so everyone was well fed.

Ummmm. I got some cupcake from my Grandma.

I even got presents to open. Aunt Liz helped me and kept me from eating the paper. BAD Aunt Liz.

As you can see everyone had a good time and remember – Maddie ROCKS!!

See that one is two months old when I helped him open his Christmas preent.

Yep another one from February. Gee Grandpa you really are behind.

Now we are getting closer. That is Daddy and me when we snuck up to visit Grandpa because he hadn’t been down fro a while.

This is Maude and I but someone came in and he was interesting to me. Another little person instead of more big people.

That is what I was looking at my new friend Gavin. Don’t tell Mom though, Daddy will be in the dog house with Buster.

Grandpa you are in big trouble so you better get to see me soon.

Remember…..

Maddie Rules

Yep he was down, Mom sent him the pics from Mom Mom Pat’s where I got to meet some other little ones and two weeks later there is nothing here. Yep, he will pay next time. Big time.

So I finally got him working so here is what happened in New Jersey.

Here is a picture of my great grandmother Mickey.

Here is me with my Aunt Maureen and Russ.

Yep I was eating. I am good at that then I leave Daddy a present.

Then we went to Mom Mom Pat’s and found a whole bunch of people and some were almost my size.

Yep there were a whole bunch of great grand kids visiting. I got to meet all of my cousins. I liked Josh he was holding me.

I even got a kiss from Jeremy while my Aunt Melissa held me.

Finally the only pic with Mom Mom Pat was in the dining room which was like a zoo. She was helping Jeremy while everyone was playing.

Well Grandpa better get busy and get his pictures up here soon or he will be in real trouble. I’ll tell Mommy to let me give him a present like I do Daddy shortly after I eat.
