Hair Cut

I finally broke down and took Stratton to get a haircut. It was starting to get pretty long in the front and was hanging in his eyes. None of the pictures of the acutal haircut turned out, so here are some before and after pics of him. He looks like a little man now, not my baby boy. Surprisingly, Mary Mason agreed to get her's cut too. It's short, but looks really cute. Thanks, Igor!!!

Mary Mason's new haircut

BEFORE

AFTER

Dress Up

Mary Mason has just gotten into dress up. She saw this in her closet and told me it was beautiful and she wanted to wear it. She put it on with her Cinderella shoes and was off to show Daddy and our neighbors.

We Caught a Fish!!

So it was really Papa that caught the fish, but Mary Mason helped reel it in and Stratton did a great job cheering them on. How cute are these 2 little fishermen!!

Fishing with Papa

Papa took Mary Mason fishing at Bill and Wanda's house last week. She was so excited to go. She had a great time and can't wait to go back!

Day at the Lake

Mason bought a boat the other day, so we spent the weekend at the lake and had a blast!!! Mary Mason had the best time swimming, playing, and fishing with her new Barbi fishing pole. She tried and tried, but the fish just weren't interested in her butterfly lure. Maybe next time.

Adorable

Just had to throw this one in. He is sooooooooooooo cute!!!

Car Ride

I don't know how they both fit in the car, but they did. They road around for a while, and then Mary Mason washed it.

Making a Run for It

Stratton was following Scout one day and watched him jump through the doggie door. It took him about 10 minutes to figure out that he could go through too. We stopped him before he went all the way through, but he was on his way to breaking out!!

The Ride Home

The kids were so worn out after spending the afternoon at the lake, they passed out on the way home. We need to do this everyday!

The Lake

Ann and Rusty called and invited us to go to the lake with them on Sunday (I still can't believe they went the day after the wedding). Mary Mason and Stratton both had such a great time. Since the pool at the Club was closed, this was a great idea to wear the kids out. Thanks Ruscoes!!

Reception

Mary Mason had such a good time dancing at the reception!!

Wedding Day

Mary Mason was the flower girl in Rhett and Cassie's wedding this past Saturday. Of course she wouldn't take any pictures for me, but these are a few that I got. She did much better for the photographer when I wasn't in the room. Cassie looked beautiful, and it was such a fun weekend!

Amazement

Stratton is amazed by any kind of machinery, especially lawn mowers. This is Stratton watching Rusty mow the yard next to us. He sat like this for about 20 minutes, and if you got in front of him he got so mad. He's so cute!!

Doctor's Appt

We finally made it to Stratton's 9 month checkup (2 weeks late), and he did great!! He is 31 inches and weighed in at 21 lbs. After an afternoon of running errands in Memphis, he slept all the way home.

Stratton

I mean, how CUTE is this little boy!! He is just so sweet and happy, and truly a joy to have. We love him so much.

Our Artist

Mary Mason loves to paint, and this is her latest creation. She's so proud of it!

Big Boy

Finally, Stratton has started to hold his own bottle. We're still working on it, but it's a start!!

Popsicles

Mary Mason LOVES popsicles, so we make them every week for her to snack on. Here she is enjoying one of her smoothie pops. Stratton even got a taste, and you can tell how much he liked it from the picture.
