Madison sitting with her babies/bears. She was singing to them.


Madison holding her baby and giving her a kiss.
Madison had her 3 year check up today. Everything is looking great with her. She weighs 36 pounds and is 38.5 inches tall. She had to get one shot, which didn't go so well. She held her breath and turned blue! But 10 seconds and a lollipop later, she was fine:)

Mason had is 2 month check up today also. Big boy weighed in at 14 pounds 7 ounces and is 24.5 inches long. Everything looked great with him also. He had to get 3 shots, which he didn't care for either:( Looks like both kids will be getting Tylenol before bed tonight:)

Hey everyone! Jason and I want to say thank you to everyone for all the birthday cards and wishes. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.
Above is a picture of Grandpa, Grandma, Paula, Mason, and Madison.

I finally caught Mason with one of his big smiles. He was just talking and smiling at Jason.

2 months old!


Madison telling Mason to look at the camera.





Mason is 2 months old today. I can't believe it, time has gone by so fast. He is doing great. He is smiling and cooing a lot now. He will have his 2 month appointment on Monday, so I will let everyone know how that goes.

Well, the Hough family now has a new travel/towing vehicle. Today we traded in our Toyota Tacoma for a 2002 Chevy Suburban 2500 4x4. It has 3 rows of seating and room enough for the dogs in the back (I'm sure they will appreciate the A/C!) And of course Jason can tow anything he wants up to 10,000 pounds. We had to drive to Atlanta to get it. It wasn't the one we were planning on getting. The one we originally went up there for ended up looking too beat up when we got there, so luckily they had this one on the lot. Anyways, we love it!



Mason is starting to smile and talk to us a lot more these days.
He started going to school on Wednesday of this week. He has been doing really good. They always brag on him and say what a good baby he is, so that makes me feel good.

Madison has pharyngitis:( She woke up on Friday with a temp of 102 and coughing. I found out on Friday afternoon that one of the girls in her classroom just had a confirmed case of the H1N1 flu virus. So of course I freaked out and headed to the ER since Madison's Dr. closes at noon on Fridays. Luckily she doesn't have the flu, just pharyngitis. The doctor is treating her for strep throat though because he said if he didn't then it would probably turn into strep throat. So, she is on antibiotics and cough meds. She hasn't had a fever at all today and she is acting like her normal self which is wonderful.

Here are a couple pictures of Madison and Angel at the circus.
They had a great time and Madison keeps asking me when we are gonna go back.


Madison is showing off all her rings.


Bath time pic of Mason.
He loves taking a bath. He could be having a fussy time and as soon as I put him in the water he is instantly calm. Thank God because Madison used to hate baths when she was a baby.

Funny Conversation


Hey everyone! Here are a few new pics of the kids. The top one is Madison being a butterfly:) Here is a conversation that was held at the Hough dinner table tonight:
Madison: I'm so excited for my birthday party.
Dad: I'm going to put you through college, that's my gift to you.
Mom: Madison, do you want to be a nurse like Mommy when you grow up?
Madison: No.
Mom: Do you want to be a teacher like Daddy?
Madison: No.
Mom: Well, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Madison: A Butterfly!
Mason is starting to focus on different objects. The below pictures are of him looking at his mobile on his swing. He is just cooing and smiling at the mobile...so cute:)

Madison and Mason


Okay, something must be up with this site because it won't let me type anything above the first picture. Oh well! The above picture is Madison at 2 months old and the one below is Mason at 5 weeks old. He is looking more and more like her everyday. Their eyes, noses, and even facial expressions are the same.

And here are a couple more random pics of Mason. He is growing so fast. He feels like he is already 10 pounds! He is starting to coo and smile at us; it's so sweet!
