Alright, alright, already...

Alright, Randal has done me the favor of reminding me that I'm falling behind on my blogging :)  So here's what's going on with us...

Madison is getting so big!  She'll be three months old this week & we are going to get her pictures taken this Saturday.  I'm so excited for her first girly photo shoot :) hehehehe - I was always so nervous about having a girl because I have always been more of the tom-boy type and didn't think that I could do the pink, frilly stuff, but it has been surprisingly fun!  I love her little hair bows (even if Randal doesn't :P)  and I love looking for cute little outfits for her :)  She's smiling really big now and seems like such a happy baby!  She's had a stuffy nose for what seems like forever, so hopefully she'll be able to get that clear soon.  It's RSV season, so we're keeping a close eye on her for more symptoms, but I'm also looking for teeth! 

Mason is getting bigger and funnier every day :)  His wonderful Aunt Kelli took him to see Sesame Street Live last weekend and he had a blast!  He got to hang out with Grant Fisher and he had lots of fun seeing Elmo.  We went out to eat last week at Cheddars and he slapped our waitress on the butt...it was so embarrassing for me (not totally sure how Randal felt about the whole thing...), but everyone around us (including the waitress) thought it was hysterical.  He is beginning to start those "terrible twos" a little early and has learned to throw some pretty awesome tantrums in an effort to get what he wants.  He has yet to learn that it doesn't get him anywhere, so we'll see how long that takes him :)  I can't believe that he'll be 2 years old in a few short months!! 

Randal is staying busy at work, but it hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be this tax season.  I am looking forward to warmer weather so that he and Mason can play outside - I know they're both looking forward to that as well! We got a rowing machine recently and so he has been spending some time working out on that and has been making fun of me for not spending time doing it...we'll work on that :)

I am back to work full time next week (can I get a loud BOO?)  I have really enjoyed spending at least a few days a week home with the kiddos.  It has been so much fun getting to know Madison and getting to spend so much time playing & laughing with Mason (though he's still totally a daddy's boy!).  Going back to work has been hard, but they both seem to really love their babysitter, so I'm very thankful for that!  I have been busy lately planning an anniversary party for Randal's parents and trying to start up a few other projects on the side.  I think I am crazy and can't contain all that I want to do...I just pray that God gives me the energy to keep up with myself! 

We went to OK to help my grandma celebrate her 75th birthday last weekend and had so much fun with my family!  My grandpa is still not feeling well, but we were so glad that he got to spend some time with the kids and the rest of us.  I love seeing them and am so thankful that they have been able to share in all the special moments in my life! 

In other news, my resolution to not be an angry driver is coming along, although there are a lot of people out there that are making it difficult.  Seriously...it's a four way stop, not rocket science. :)
