Shopping Cart Fun

Everytime we go to Winn-Dixie Madison wants to ride in the car buggy. I feel like such a dork pushing that thing around, but Madison loves it! Now that Mason is out of his infant car seat he is able to join in the fun! Sorry for the low quality cell phone pic, but that's all I had with me. They both loved it, and it helps make my shopping trip a little easier:)

Hello Everyone! It's been a while since I last updated the blog, so here's some pics of what's been going on around here lately. Jason, Mason, and I went to Daytona Beach this weekend for a VW, skate, surf, and music festival. Madison stayed behind with Nana and Papa Junn and Angel. Daytona Beach was great! We stayed right on the beach and the weather was beautiful! Not too hot, not too cold. They had several different little VW shows going on throughout the weekend,a and also some skate and surf competitions. Jason entered his show rabbit in the main car show. He won second place for his class and won third place overall!

Here's a picture Jason took of me walking on the beach. I had to touch the water even though it was still cold:)

And here's Mason for his first time at the beach. He loved the feeling of the sand. And yes, he tried to eat it too:)

These next few pictures are just some taken around the house.
Mason is sitting up well. He still tips over sometimes, but he usually just rolls onto his belly and keeps on playing.

Mason loves his doorway jumper. Jumping is definately his favorite thing to do!

Daddy bought Madison some new books at the bookfair at VSU. Here she is enjoying her new book about a ballerina.

These last ones are of Madison in her dance class. She loves it so much, and she is doing wonderful! This is right at the end of their class routine. She looks so proud!

Here she is doing run, run, leap.

And now practicing her tip toe walk.

I think that's about all that's been going on in the Hough household lately. We stay busy with work, school, dance, cars, cooking, family, friends, car shows, etc. and we are loving every minute of it!

SNOW

I can't believe it! It snowed in Valdosta, Georiga last night! And of course, our camera batter was DEAD!!! It charged enough for me to get one picture. I did get plenty of footage with the video camera though. The snow was already starting to slow down when I took this picture. It snowed pretty good for about 30 minutes. It was sticking to the cars, but not to the ground. We were able to make a few little snowballs from the snow that we scraped off the roofs of the cars.

Madison was so excited!

Madison started dance class at school this week. A lady from a dance studio in Adel comes to her school every Friday and does a 45 minute class. Jason and I were both able to sit in on the class and Madison did so well. Thanks to Aunt Cindy and Uncle Tony for this little outift, it's perfect for dance class! I'll have to get her some more though cause I swear she would wear this outfit everyday if I let her!

Hello everyone! Well, Madison now has a new haircut, courtesy of herself! For those who are on facebook, you have already seen this, but I know not everyone does facebook so I though I would put it on here too.

Last Saturday, Madison had just gotten up from her nap and was using the potty. I left her for not more than 2 minutes to go get my shirt out of the dryer and when I came back, there was hair all over the bathroom! She cut quite a bit off and we immediately took her to Fantastic Sams where, thank God, the wonderful hair stylist made her hair look pretty normal. She ended up taking about 6-7 inches off the length. Madison had never had the back of her hair cut before, just her bangs, so I was pretty upset and sad. But in the end I told myself, it's just hair and it will grow back. And after all, she still is the cutest girl in the world!

Here's the new do from the front...

...and back.

And here's all the hair I gathered off the bathroom floor, sink, trash can, etc.

Mason is doing wonderful except for a little cold, but who doesn't have a cold these days! He is sitting up better now. I try to get him to sit back and relax in his chair, but he wants to sit up so he can see everything better.

Here he is checking out Jack. He is starting to get really interested in the dogs. I just have to make sure they're clean:)

Madison still loves to hold him, although now he kinda has to just sit by her because he's about to big for her lap!

Family Fun

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a great weekend. Jason, Madison, Mason, and I took a walk on the Azalea City Trail today, which happens to go right through a park, so we stopped to play.

Mason is sitting up pretty good on his own now. He can't do it for long, but he's getting the hang of it:)

Daddy and Mason trying out the slides for the first time.
And of course Mommy had to have a turn too:)

Madison loves to swing!

Mason graduated from his infant seat (which he outgrew with the quickness) and is now in his Recaro convertible seat. He seems to like it and even took a nap in it today:)

Mason has tried all the baby vegetables now and is moving on to fruit. His favorite vegetables are carrots and green beans. And so far he's had pears and applesauce, and loves them both. I can't believe how fast he is growing up!

I started feeding Mason sweet potatoes this weekend. He seems to like them pretty good. Of course I snapped some pics of him eating and when I looked at the pictures I took I immediately thought of the pictures I took of Madison when she first ate sweet potatoes. They look exactly the same!!!! The first picture is Madison and the second one is Mason. Sometimes it amazes me at how much they look alike!

Also, Mason had his 6 month check up last week. He is doing great! He is a whopping 22lbs and 28.5 inches long! He is definatley a big boy. He's about to outgrow his car seat. He is starting to sit up by himself for several seconds. He's doing great with eating cereal twice a day and we are now adding some vegetables. We'll add some fruit when he's tried all the vegetables.

All in all, I am so very blessed to have two happy and healthy children.

Master Bedroom

Jason and I spent most of the day painting our bedroom today. Jason revitalized both of our closets a couple weeks ago (I think there is another blog about that) and we bought a new comforter set, so our bedroom is good to go. We just gave it a little makeover:)

Mason was just chilling out while we were cleaning up the room. He's such a good baby!
