Celebration Season!

By -
Well, Halloween and Mason's birthday have come and gone, but not without tons of fun and candy and toys. We did our fair share of trick or treating at various spots. Man, if you really cared about the candy, you could do some serious damage with all of the events they have the whole week of Halloween. We went to the old folk's home with Uncle Doug, Aunt Marie, and Cousin Luke and it was a lot of fun. They just love tot see the kids. Mason was a dog and he rocked it! Once dad put on the costume (very entertaining), he finally put it on and didn't cry at all after that.

Then birthday time. We weren't planning on having a party with friends, but Mason is all about the social, so we figured that is what would make his birthday happy, and sure enough, it did. We invited a few friends and family, had pizza and just partied. The kids went crazy in the ballons and it was just all around fun. I was so excited this year, because Dan said he would make the cake (I have no artistic ability, see last years cake). He did an awesome job and has agreed to be the cake decorator. Phew, no embarrassed children from here on out! Thanks everyone for making it an awesome day for Mason and for us! I guess we must have been having fun, because all of the pics are fuzzy with movement, so these are the least blurry ones.

This is a random pic, but this post is about celebrations and at our house, when egg nog goes on the shelf, it is worth celebrating. Here is Mason having his first cup full and, oh my, how he guzzled it.


OH, how we love this boy...more on that to come.

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.
