Grassy Pond

Hey eveybody! Jason, Madison, and I took a trip out to Grassy Pond yesterday to eat lunch and go fishing. I thought we were gonna just rent some fishing poles and stuff, but Jason surprised us and we all went to Wal-mart and got our own fishing poles. Madison picked out a Barbie one!

Here's Jason heating up some hot dogs and baked beans on the grill.

Madison playing peek-a-boo. She could stand on the step bar on the side of the bug and she was just popping up and saying "boo!"

I love this picture!
Fishing some more.
It must not have been a good day for fishing. We didn't catch anything and neither did anybody else there. Oh well, next time!

Jax Zoo

Hey ya'll! Jason, Madison and I went to the Jacksonville Zoo yesterday. It was a really nice zoo, and we all enjoyed it, especially Madison. She can now see and recongnize giraffe, elephant, monkey, fish, duck, bird, and I'm sure some other things, but I can't remember them all!

Here's Madison posing for a picture.

Silly girl:)

Okay, now I don't know where Madison learned how to do this! I'm guessing she saw somebody do it at school. She was sitting on the potty tonight and I just looked over at her and this is what she was doing. I cracked up! .

Teacher in the Making.....

Hey everybody!

Jason started doing his student teaching for school this week. He goes to a Kindergarten class 2 days a week for a few hours. He absolutely loves it! He smiles ear to ear any time he is telling me about it. He can't wait to be out of the military and doing what he really wants to do, teach! I am so proud of him!

Here he is on his first day of student teaching.

Here's a picture of Madison talking to Nana while we were driving somewhere. Anytime we get on the phone now, she wants to talk too!

Beach Days!

Hey everybody! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been so busy with work and school. Anyways, we were in Panama City for Labor Day weekend and we finally got to the beach. It was Madison's first time at the beach and she loved it!

Here's Madison with Daddy. (First time going in the water.)

Family Fun!

Here's a picture I took of Madison before we went to church on Sunday.

She looks so innocent!

She got used to her car, and she loves it! She can't steer correctly, but that will come with practice.
We love to sit out on the porch when it rains here. Well, we were sitting on the porch last night and it was pouring rain. And Madison decided that she wanted to go run and play in the rain. So we let her. Her and Jason got soaked, but they had so much fun!

Here she is jumping on the trampoline in the rain!
Running through the yard.
Soaked!

Family Pictures

Madison was in such a great mood on Saturday evening after her party that we decided to take advantage of it and take some family pictures. Thanks to photographer Terry for taking such great pictures! I'm so glad we got some good pictures since we didn't take her to get professional pictures taken.
