Party in the Park

Mason and I went to our friend's birthday party today, Kennedy turned 2 years old. He had so much fun swinging today. The only other time we've went to the park he was a little skeptical of the swings. These days I don't have much time to write on here, posting the pictures is usually the priority. We had a busy weekend of yard work and this weekend we have a big garage sale. Saturday we took one step on our own- not quite walking but so close! Our front two teeth have been through and now our eye teeth are also. I am waiting to get a good shot of them.

Katy Days

Over the weekend we took Mason to his first Katy Days. Katy Days is in the park every year for memorial day and is a memorial for the Katy Railroad that founded Parsons. It was extremely hot so we went there very long but I think Mason's two favorite things were the bubble machine and the train he got to sit in. There was an automatic train for kids that shook back and forth that was right next to a BBQ vendor line. The whole line of people were cracking up watching Mason giggle and hang on for dear life. I was so upset because my batteries went dead as I went to take a picture. The nicest older couple ever gave me a set of batteries and let me keep them. They said you just couldn't miss pictures like that. It's nice to know there are people still like that out there and I know I'll be sure to return the favor some day. It was so bright it was hard to get good pictures, it was a lot funnier being there to see his big grin.

Mothers Day

I had a great 2nd (technically 1st) mothers day. I celebrated last year and got gifts even though at that point I had no idea what motherhood was really like. It is the best job ever being a mommy, but also the most exhausting! We had lunch at our house for my family and then that evening we went to Jamie's parents house for dinner to visit family. I got two pretty hanging baskets and then hopefully this weekend I will be getting the rest of my gift. We are having Wright Signs make a Lawrence stencil for us to put onto a large sandstone rock to put in our front yard. I'm so excited! This rock is more special than just going and buying one because it is from Jamie's parents house. When they re-did their driveway a ways back they found HUGE sandstone rocks underneath their gravel driveway. It's amazing how pretty they are and would've never been found if it wasn't for their driveway project.

Mommy's Rocking Chair

After helping Grammy move, she gave us my old rocking chair. I think I got it on my third birthday. We put it in our living room and Mason seems to enjoy it. Elmo is usually in it keeping the seat warm for him.

AT LAST!

I cannot believe how long it's been since I have posted on here. Part of it is due to camera/computer issues, the other excuse is that there are not enough hours in the day! I don't know where to begin on updating Mason's life but here goes:
* We have 6 teeth and still going! I pulled up his lip to check on how far in his two front teeth are and found two more teeth next to those!

* His car/walker the Easter bunny gave him is finally getting some use. He walks around the house pushing it everywhere!

* We only sleep half the night in our own bed, the other half with mommy and daddy.

* He is very good at putting his shapes into his shape box.

* Anything I say, he knows what it is or what to do.

* He is a dancing machine! We now shake our booty AND bob our head!

* We have been eating 3rd level baby food for a little while and can also eat the majority of what mommy and daddy eat.

* We have been in size 4 diapers for 2 months now.

I know I'm forgetting a lot but now I'll be updating much more often. We have our 1 year pictures scheduled June 3rd with Melissa Mullinax and I really hope his front teeth are all the way through by then!
