MICKEY MOUSE!! 2nd Birthday

How do we already have a 2 year old?! Time goes by so fast!! We are so lucky to have a little boy like Mason in our home with his SWEET & SPUNKY personality! Mason loves his Mickey Mouse so it was the perfect theme for a party. We had lots of food, friends & family. So thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us!!

                                               

 Mason is quite the little talker, he's always blabbing about something & we do pretty good to understand what's coming out of his mouth! He LOVES Grandpa's shop & all the cool snowmobiles & dirtbikes that he gets to ride on. He's always "fixing" them like his uncles!

                     His favorite thing to do is sit on "Mason's Motorcycle" & make the engine sounds!

Mason doesn't love naps anymore but when he does take them, they last 2 hours with his dad!!

He's NOT a shy little boy! He can make new friends easy, he will be your best buddy even if it's the first time meeting them! Especially if your playing a cool game on a TV on the floor!

Mase DOES NOT like nursery. He's gone every week & he make himself dry heave from crying so hard. It's sad, but he's got to figure this stuff out! Mason loves anything with motors...Trucks, trains, fourwheelers & even mom's car! He loves when we have people over to visit! He's a show off!

He's been going to the bathroom on the toilet latey & does awesome with it. We've not "potty trained" him so we're not really pushing it much but lately all he wants to wear is his pull ups & he knows when he does he has to go on the toilet. Mom just needs to get her shiz together & push it while he wants to do it!

He's MASTERED the somersault! Still loves bath time, he always wants a bath. It's a good thing tho!

Mason has spent a lot of time in time out too! He sure knows how to push buttons, it has gotten better, when he's doing something he knows better than to not do, i'll ask him if  he wants to go to time out, he usually will stop what he's doing & switch gears fast!

We love you Mason! Happy 2nd Birthday!!

Christmas was a BLAST this year! Mason had just turned 2 we had so much fun with him! He helped us set up the tree Thanksgiving Day. We get new ornaments each year & for Mason we decided to do a Buzz Light Year because that was his favorite of the week! He was so excited to get it because we gave it to him about a week after we put the tree up so he already knew what he was doing!

                                                                                             
                                              
Christmas morning I was like a child! I was the first one up & could hardly sleep. Mason slept till almost 9, he NEVER sleeps past 7. What the heck?!  When he walked out to the tv room we had his stocking on the couch & some The Little People Zoo set up, he was so excited! He was a pro at opening those presents especially from just opening a bunch for his birthday. We spent the rest of the day visiting the family & being lazy!

                                                    We of course had to play in the snow!!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!

New Years Eve was a night not to forget! We had the Low's over, we ate dinner, played games & made some sweet music videos that I will not be posting or sharing! We also watched Ted & just laughed our butts off all night!

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!

Bad luck comes in 3"s...urban legend or fact?

They say bad luck comes in 3's. Well I now believe it. 2 weeks ago I thought I'd be an awesome wife & take Nic out to get some chinese for lunch. I had to stop for a car in front of us & next thing we know a car rear ends us. I had a sudden sharp pain in the back of my head from hitting my head rest but that was the only thing that happened to both of us. Nic was so mad, he got out of the car thinking he was going to see some punk teenager not paying attention, but his mood changed quick. It was a little old lady, probably 70, her air bag had gone off & she was pretty shaken up. We called the cops & it took over 20 minutes for someone to show up. The "awesome" cop we had drove right past us then called to ask where we were. It was very frustrating. He didn't ask us if we were okay, just got our info and told us we were good to go. You can hardly see any damage on my car, but the ladys' SUV had to be towed away.

We were good till the adrenaline wore off about an hour later. We've both been going to the Chiropractor like every other day. 2 days after the wreck we ended up going to the ER because I had a headache I've not been able to get rid of and just for insurance purposes. Well the visit was a good thing because i have some torn ligament in my neck and have a concussion. I've been going to the Dr & Chriropractor for 2 weeks and can not get rid of the dam headache. I hate it.

#2. The day of the wreck I was helping Mason jump over leaves at the babysitters as we were walking in. His arm popped. He didn't really cry & he used his arm all day. The next day he babied his arm & wouldn't use is at all. So we went up to the ER, I dislocated it. I felt like an awesome mom. They made me feel better up there tho, they said they see about 10 of these happen a week. it's called nurses elbow ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursemaid's_elbow ) and they just pop his wrist and elbow back into place. With in 5 minutes he was using it like nothing happened.

#3. Primary. Don't get me wrong, I like kids & primary is fun, but I had that calling for 2 years and finally got out of it. Now i'm back in. Once this headache goes away, maybe it won't seem so bad but Sunday was the longest day of my life.

Off my soap box now.

Pumpkin Walk

Here's some pictures of the Pumpkin Walk. There was lots & lots of people but it was fun taking Mason and seeing how excited he was when he recognized some of the scenes!

Chelsie & Mason!

My Little Buddy!

Mason is changing so much! It makes me a little sad to think he will be 2 in December & isn't my little baby anymore! But on the other hand he is getting so big & so much fun to be with! He's my little man! He talks like crazy, from the minute I get him out of bed in the morning he's ready to go & let's us know what he wants to do.

Like this morning, I get him out and he says "Cartoon" and of course Dad says no cause we're watching Sports Center (I'd rather have the cartoon) So him & Mase argue back and forth for a bit about what we're watching and of course Mason wins. He pulls Dad's hand and says push (he doesn't get push & pull are different yet) points to the dvd's and says "Shrek". Most of our morings go that way.

Mason is starting to sing in the car with the radio & i love it!! There are 2 songs he will always sing with and thats Lady Gaga's Bad Romance (but that's an easy one cause 1/2 that song is baby talk!) and the other is Benny & the Jets (empahsize on the ssssss...)

This kid makes me laugh all the time! He is a little show off! He loves kisses & hugs lately and that makes me sooo happy! Cause he didn't like them too much before. His new thing is when he gets "hurt" he wants it kissed. I LOVE it!! 

He also wants to be just like his dad! He's always wearing hats like him, wants to wear his boots & ride in dad's truck. He also hear's me call dad Nic, which is pretty funny because when he can't get dad's attention he starts yelling "Nic, Nic!!" So now I refer to Nic as dad.

Love this little boy!

He's learing how to pose for the camera!

Love you little Mase!!

Nic's Birthday Weekend

Nic turned 26 on Friday! He got spoiled this year with 2 birthday dinners & going out to dinner Saturday with the Lovelands (Stephanie watches Mason everyday, we LOVE their family). Friday we closed work early so Mase &I decided to do a little more birthday shopping & get some balloons; not Nic's favorite. If it were up to him, he'd like us to just say Happy Birthday & be done with it. But its up to me, not him. So we go all out!! Mason even learned to sing happy birthday!!

Nic came home to this! We opened presents & then his parents took us out for dinner. We went to Olive Garden, huge wait but totally worth it!

Nic's gifts, if you look close you even see a Chargers watch in there! Lucky guy!

Chelsie & Justin were able to score a practice ball from the Chargers & got Phillip Rivers to sign it, i'm suprised this ball doesn't share a bed with us! It's his favorite. Thanks guys!!

Mase learned to sing happy birthday! (Sorry for the filming, he also wanted to hold the camera)

I made yummy snickers cupcakes, we had friends over & watched the game!

 

Monday night was the last birthday dinner. Nic's favorite, Cafe Sabor! Mason wanted the hat tho!

Thanks everyone who celebrated with us! Meant alot!!
