Put in our places

By -

So, tonight as we snuggled in bed and read stories, it occurred to me, "Ah, it's Family HOme Evening night!" We had somewhere to go as soon as Dan got home and we just forgot about it. We decided that since it was well past Mason's bed time anyway that we would do it tomorrow night. Mason hurried out of Dan's nook (crook in the arm where reading must take place) and climbed down from the bed. "Jesus," he said as he walked over to the basket where the nursery manual is (what we use for FHE) and pulled it out. Then he proceeded to say, "Jesus, okay" and climb back onto the bed with the book. Needless to say, Family Home Evening was not pushed to tomorrow.


On a very different note, I have another Mason story from tonight. We were at Kohl's (30% off + spend $20 and get $10 off + $10 Kohl's cash from a previous purchase = sweet deal on Dan's new dress shoes). Anyway, as we walked down our first aisle toward the men's clothing, we happened to walk through the scantily clad maniquins wearing Christmas lingerie. As we walked by, Dan and I of course commenting on their attire, we laughed and didn't think anything of it. Mason, however, slowed behind us and as I looked back, my little boy was holding the maniquins hand. I am pretty confident it was due to the fact that this particular headless body was painted silver and very shiny that Mason wanted to hold her hand, but I didn't like it one bit. We did laugh pretty darn hard though.

That is pretty funny!!! Just be glad he didn't yell, "Hunter, I don't see the boobies" as he was running up the Kohl's isle...Walker did that to Rikk on their Super Saturday. Boys will be boys!

Oh and what a great little boy for making sure you have FHE. What a cutie!!! Sometimes we realize we missed scripture study and the boys get out of bed to remind us and we have to have it right then.

Well, at least last night he wanted Jesus...even though he thought the scantily clad mannequin was cool! hehehe. Kid just know that stuff is funny, Hailee usually walks past the lingerie section or goes to the brightest colored bras and says "it's cute" and repeats it several times. They are just so good at making us parents blush:)

So darling- a cute little testimony already. Just make sure you're not teaching him any "romantic kisses". This is about how old Henry was when he did that, right? I still laugh about that.

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.
