Wonderful 4th of July Weekend!

By -
Well, I am a little late, but it is only because we were busy and had a wonderful 4th weekend. We went to Poky and loved being with my whole family. How many people these days get to be with all 6 of their siblings and spouses so regularly. Natalie came from Washington and we always love having her around. We got some softball in and a whole lot of chattin. We even had a low country boil which consists of cooking a bunch of shrimp, potatos, corn and sausage in a giant pot of spicy seasoning and throwing it on a table to eat with your hands. It was so fun!! Thanks Doug and Marie! Mason saw his first fireworks and hated every second of it. We love going to Poky to visit and are so glad that my family is so close to us. We just need to work on getting Dan's family closer. Now we are just back to the normal stuff...work and play. My camera didn't have batteries for the 4th so I have to get some from other people. So I will just post pics of Mason at our family home evening tonight. I left my bag of ribbons out and, well, he is a rolling machine and dumped them all out and played in them. He led the music so at least he participated a little.

Baby time!

By -
So, I had my first appointment today to confirm that baby #2 is on its way. Sure enough, a quick little heartbeat was going strong. We can't wait, well, actually, I think we can. It will be much easier to wait for this one seeing that we have an 18 month old that keeps us very busy, but we are really excited for it to come around December 2nd ish. We are really excited for Mason to be a big brother because he is so sweet with babies these days and seems to actually enjoy them. I am 12 weeks and feeling pretty rotten. I guess that just helps me know that things are going okay with baby. Poor Mason has been watching alot of TV in the mornings and has not had as much play time with mom. It makes me sad, but you do what you gotta do to get by. Deep down i kind of want another boy, so I am pretty confident that it is a girl. Dan doesn't care at all, and I really don't either, but for some reason girls scare me. We are excited to see what we are going to get this time ...

Only Blue for us!

Yes, it's true, we are having another boy. I always imagined having two little boys running around and we are so excited for Mason to have a little bro. There are so many fun things to look forward to with having little boys so close. Can't wait for all of the baseball games, basketball games, guitar and drum lessons.....or ballet lessons if they so choose. Whatever the case, we can't wait to have two little boys.

Presents for Mason

By -
I am just wondering if anyone has suggestions for best gifts for a 2 year old boy. We don't buy toys very often so I always want them to be really good. What are the best toys out there. I am thinking a play kitchen? Play food? I just want to know if there is anything that Mason should not be going without. K- please help.
