Welcome to Our Blog

This blog was started to allow friends and family to see what is going on in our lives. Sit back, hold on and stay a while. It's going to be a bumpy road with a four year old and a newborn on board.

Walgreens Trip 4/22/10

I went to Walgreens today and found some bargains. I had to return some Pampers Easy Ups because somehow I wound up with a size too small for Mason. We don't use these very much now, just at night as he can't wake up yet when he needs to go to the bathroom. I'm fine with him wearing them at night though as long as he's using the potty during the day.

A Ball fit for a Princess

Saturday was Mason's friend's birthday. She turned 4 years old. She had a princess party and all the little girls were supposed to dress as princesses and the little boys were pirates.

Happy Birthday Molly!

Mason was a pirate. :)





Molly was Cinderella and she wanted her Daddy to dress as Prince Charming and dance with her. He even brought her a special present and flowers. It was so sweet.

Walking Down the Railroad Tracks

I took the opportunity today to take some pictures of Mason on the train tracks in front of our house. I thought they turned out really good. If only he hadn't had Spongebob bandaids on. :)

Blessed!

I just had to post these pictures because from the time that Mason was born there are very few pictures of just me and him together because I'm the one always holding the camera. We had been wrestling in the floor forever and he wanted on my back so I decided to take some pictures of us. Look at that sweet face! I am so blessed.


Fishing!

One thing that Tim and I love to do that we have introduced to Mason is fishing. He absolutely loves it. Of course, he doesn't really have the patience for it yet but he still likes to cast his rod and reel it in. He will play with his fishing rod in the yard forever. Casting and reeling. Casting and reeling. Here are some pictures of a recent trip we took fishing.

Dying Eggs

A tradition I started with Mason when he was born was dying Easter eggs. It's something fun that we can do together. Although, it's something we do at Easter I still don't won't him to forget what the real reason for Easter is, Jesus giving his life and dying for OUR sins.





Easter Weekend



This weekend was a busy weekend. Here's Mason at the Easter egg hunt at church.


We even had a visit from the Easter Bunny. Mason didn't like him at all. He told me he didn't like "that big Rabbit".



Here he is at my parent's house, where we had a cook out, hunting eggs.


Here he is with his new best friend, Country, my brother's blue healer puppy.
