As Promised...

First off I just want to say- sorry for the long post and all the different stuff crammed into one, I did not feel like making several different ones...


The day we found out we were having a boy we went to the Mall to buy something for Miles. We did it for Mason and bought him a sweet little monkey from PBK. I love that store and if I had the money I would do my whole nursery in it... But, anyways- We went into PBK for Miles, we came out with a super cool digger/ dozer for Mason... We would have bought Miles something too, but they did not have anything we liked.

These two are so cute. Curt dressed Mason- can you tell? All Mason needed was some sunglasses and they would have matched almost perfectly!
He is actually walking backwards in this picture. He was running away and I told him to "come right back!" He turned around and said, "See Mom, Mason can walk backways!" I had to laugh, I know I shouldn't have, but it was cute!

I swear we were the only people in the mall that day, which was great because I let Mason run and drive his dozer all around...

Really, this is how he walked almost all of the way to the car... It makes my back hurt just looking at him...

Also, the day we found out what the baby was going to be we went to The Cheesecake Factory to eat and celebrate... It was yummy, and I want to go back... The food is so huge there that Curt and I always agree on what we are going to eat and split it... We got the burrito- it was literally 4 servings, if we had not left it in the car, the left overs would have been so scrumptious...

It is hard theses days to get Mason to look at the camera... He has so much going on and smiling for Mommy is on the bottom of the list...

I love this picture of Curt, he is smiling so BIG! There is no telling what Mason has on his finger, but I am sure it was something worthy of a tissue... I {heart} these boys...

Mason has really been enjoying his time on his bikes... He loves all kinds of bikes and he loves to do tricks... I think he learned his tricks from his friend Ryder...

Right after these pictures were taken, he did a "danger trick" and fell... Thank goodness he was in the grass... I am still getting used to his tricks! They make me feel like I am on a roller coaster ride and every time he does one I loose my stomach... I think I am in for a long ride....

Mason has a new "friend". He calls him "baby". He was found on the back tree-line close to our house... The night we brought him home, Curt helped Mason put him in a (old jelly jar) home. They got him a tree branch to climb on and some leaves to eat... Later that night after Mason went to bed, I let "baby"go free.... Mason woke up around midnight crying for "baby"- you got it, he wanted to hold his caterpillar at midnight. I told him that baby was sleeping and wanted to play with him in the morning... I then went back to bed and said a little prayer that "baby" would be a slow crawler... The next morning I got up early and headed out the back door and he was only a few inches away from where I left him.... I put him back in his new home and put him on the table... Mason was elated to get up and see his friend "baby." Well, now baby is in the next stage of his life- he has since made a cocoon and hopefully will be turning into a beautiful butterfly... I feel like a science teacher- Mason has learned so much about caterpillars and butterflies in the past few days... It really has been fun... I do not plan on letting many creatures into the house- they are so gross. But, I guess that if you have a boy you have to bend the rules sometimes...

Mason & "baby"

He loved to let him crawl on his hands... The boy loves "creatures".
