Holiday Projects

Poor Nic, I've been going a little crazy with the crafts lately, it's either that or scrapbooking, here's some I've done lately. I've had both Chelsie & Kelicia help do some! It's been fun. I think we should all get together( You too Jess) and make something once a month. For reals now!

4th of July

The 4th of July is always a crazy day for us! It's my moms birthday & there is so much going on out in Lewiston with The Hyers that we split the day with both families. We went up to the stadium on the 3rd to watch the fireworks & listen to Kansas. Mase did really good! He danced to the music, flirted with the girls behind us & kept feeding everyone popcorn whether we wanted it or not.

Here's my cool parents...rocking out to Kansas...they sound as old as they are!

Jordan & Shelby, Jesse & Randi

It was fun having the whole family there & having everyone get along. Things have changed so much from where they were last 4th of July. So glad that things are where they are now.

Mason was so excited for each firework to go off. His whole face lit up! But half way thru he started rubbing his eyes & made himself "comfy" on the cement floor with his blanket. Never fell asleep but just wanted to lay there.

On the fourth we went to Lewiston for the parade & rodeo. It was hot, and Mason got onrey...if you can't tell from Nic's face. We took a quick nap in between Lewiston & going down to my moms. Good thing cause Mason was a lot happier. We cooked dutch oven, did fireworks & played in the water. We are so glad both of our families live close so we can spend the holidays with everyone!

As of lately...

I try & keep this blog updated a couple times a month but haven't found the time to do it! I also do good at taking lots of pictures, but suck at that lately to! So here's a quick re-cap of March!

The Pitchers invited us up to their cabin for St. Patricks Day weekend, it was lots of fun! Lots of games, food & laughing! Also lots of crying! Mason started getting sick friday & we debated on bailing out last minute and just keeping him home. We ended up going & little Mase was a trooper! He didn't sleep at all during the night & was running a fever...long night for Nic & I! Luckly no one could hear him all night.

Mase did pretty good as long as he was being held the whole time & that is not like him at all! He likes to go & go. He's a pretty independent little guy! It made for a long weekend but we had fun & definently want to do it again!

This is Hailen...Cortney & Chae Geary's little girl. Mandee gets her one night a week & we try and get the kids together. They have so much fun! Plus it's a bonus to be able to catch up with Mandee & listen to all her wedding plans!! (Can't wait for her to marry Alex!!)

Mase never cares about this chair...until Hailen wanted to be in it. He wouldn't leave the chair when she was around. Jealous much?

He's always bonking his head...never slows him down though!!

 Mase never got better after we left the cabin. We thought he had a bad cold & ended up taking him to the Dr after he'd been sick a week. Well he's got an ear infection, no wonder he hasn't been sleeping! You would never know that's whats wrong...he doesn't care when you touch his ear & he is still pretty happy. He's been on medicine for a couple days & it's worked magic!!

Mase turned 15 months in March & he's just changing every day. He knows most of his animal noises & loves to repeat what we say. He's a handful! Takes after his dad! Mason loves to come spend time with me at work...or "papa's"! He gets so much attention there & makes a mess of everything! But that's our little boy!

The Holidays

I feel like with Masons Birthday I haven't put much thought into the holidays & blogging about them. It is so weird having his birthday 4 days before Christmas. But even with it close we had a lot of fun for celebrating both his birthday & the holidays! We started it off with an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party the Low's put together. There was lots of games, food & ugly sweaters! Most of them looked like some I could find in my grandma's closet! They gave an award for the "Ugliest Sweater" & Nic got won it with his nasty pjs/sweater!

Mase was quiet the onrey butt after awhile! He got tired but of course he loves to entertain so no sleeping for him till we got home...dang kid!

Love her antlers & BRIGHT red lips?!

We did white elephant gifts & Jlow got a toilet seat...Mason would not leave that thing alone. Proabably cause he wants to play in the real toilet at home so bad!

 This was Masons 2nd Christmas but it felt like the first! He got an Elmo Kitchen & lots of toys! Spoiled boy!

He loved it, even tho you can't tell from the picture! He was a tired kid!

For New Years Eve we had everyone over to play games & play Just Dance. It was fun to have everyone over! I do not know how Mason stayed asleep!

Halloween Weekend

This was Mason's first Halloween & I'm pretty sure he cared less about it, but it was fun to dress him up & go show him off! We had a fun weekend before Halloween. All of Nics family went to the Hyers for dinner & Mase got to play with all his cousins. He loved trying to find them buried in the leaves.

We love when we have Kamryn & Morgan around because we can give them Mason the whole time & not worry about a thing. They LOVE him & are the best babysitters ever!

We stopped at the park & took some pictures of Mason playing in the leaves. He is the biggest punk, he was so happy & laughing in the car, we get there & could hardly get a smile. So we're lucky we got the 5 pictures we did.

                                    

We have pumpkins on our front porch & Mase thought that the top coming off was the most interesting thing in the world. He got it off & tried & tried his hardest to put it back. This is the end result, he did pretty dang good!

Halloween finally came & we got to dress Mason up as a Monkey! (We only had a costume waiting to be worn for the past 2 months) We made some cookies & took him around to close friends & family to show him off. He wasn't thrilled about the costume but he liked all the attention!

 The Chargers were playing Halloween & so of course we had to bust out the jersey...this is Mase doing his "touch down". Mase & I were super tired and went to bed at 9, Nic stayed up to watch the game. They lost...not going to lie, i'm glad we were in bed & fast asleep! Happy Halloween Mase! It was fun!

                                    

Halloween Party

Finally....we got some use out of Mason's Halloween costume! We went down to the Watsons Halloween Party Friday night. We debated on staying home cause Mase had been sick but he seemed better that day. He proved us wrong! He was the most whiney kid I've seen! Poor guy & poor mom & dad! He turns into a klutz when he gets sleepy and doesn't feel good, kept falling and just cried and cried. But with all that aside, we had fun! We had lots of food & pumpkin carving contest, of course Nic carved a Chargers sign in his & now it's displayed on our front porch! :) awesome.  It was a quiet ride home, Mase was out within 5 mins of putting him in the car. We say it everytime, but we wish we lived closer! They need to just come move to Cache Valley! Thanks for the fun Halloween Party Bri & Jac! That is one cute Mini Mouse you have! :)

New Years Eve!

So this year we went out to my parents till about 10:00. We had tons of family & friends over. We played games, pool & ate TONS of food! It was alot of fun! After that we went out to Ryan & Britney Larsens house played more games & watched the ball drop! It's been a fun year & can't wait to see what this one has to bring!
