Dog Days of Summer

Its been HOT out

There is plenty to do in the summer time but if you don't make it out the door first thing in the morning you lose 10 pounds sweating!

Things you can do in the summer are...

Love on your best friend

Ride your bike

Sleep

 

Wash your car

 Amuse mom with a smile

Sleep 

How are you staying cool and enjoying summer?

A Birthday Party

Two days before Ryla was born Mason turned 2!

Two days after Ryla was born we celebrated his birthday

Yes, I am crazy for hosting a party with a 2 day old but I had plenty of help and I planned on Ryla being here at least a good week or more before.

We rented a small little stable with mini ponies to ride, a petting/feeding zoo and play ground

We grilled hotdogs and ate cake

Mason had a ball and I believe all the other kids did too!

Thanks to everyone who came out and made my little man's day extra special

Bite

It amazes me how much Mason learns everyday.

He is becoming independent; when he needs a drink he can crawl to the last place he left his sippy and get a drink. He figures out things I sometimes think he will never figure out.

One word he hasn't comprehended yet is bite.
He insist on shoving all of whatever we hand him to eat in his mouth.

Today I handed him a peanut butter cracker and said "take bites"

Hey Mas, do you have the whole cracker in your mouth?

What? This whole cracker?

Nope

I don't know what you are talking about

 

 

Summer

This is what our summer has looked like so far.

I am loving every minute of having a mobile, independent playing toddler (did I say toddler and not baby ??)

We try to figure out if we like sand or not.

 

We cruse the yard in our ride... It's only a seater, sorry ladies

Dad drags us in the wagon-mobile 

 

We enjoy snacks in our diapers with friends... The moms wear full clothing

 

We have a HUGE interest in sticks

 

And, of course, pool parties!! 

Mas has grown so much from last summer... he is turning one next Monday and it has been a journey getting this far. I love watching him play and entertain himself. Playdates are super fun as they are able to move around and play with each other.

Easter {part 2}

We headed to Austin's mom in the afternoon for a lunch and egg hunt.

The kids were super excited and Mason was ready to find some eggs. The adults hid a million  eggs while the kids waited downstairs, then it was time to go.

Mason acted like he had Easter egg hunted before. He scooped up the eggs and threw them in his basket like a champ.

 His cousins would also run by and put eggs in his basket saying "here Mason, this is for you".

It was sweet

showing off his eggs

Max kind of did his own thing =)

Later we went down to the pond for some fishing.

 Mason's favorite person all day was grandpa Ty.

We had a ton of fun and can't wait for next year.

 I think Mason enjoyed his first Easter

Easter {part 1}

I realized Easter morning that it was the final of Mason's first before he turned one.

Gasp

My little man is almost a year old and has experienced every holiday, birthday, celebration, and first of his babyhood.

That being said I we took a ton of pictures. I divided the day into 2 post so you won't get bored.

We started the day by opening gifts from the Easter Bunny

 He got eggs filled with quarters for his piggy bank, summer shirts, puffs, a book, and color body bath soap

 The grass was interesting and weird

naturally everything had to be dumped out

 and the most fun he had was with dad's birthday gift bag

Next we dyed eggs. I was really excited because I can't remember the last time I dyed eggs. All of us girls have been grown up for awhile now so we have skipped over that part the last few Easters.

Mason enjoyed throwing helping place the eggs in the dye.

We made a Mason egg, a mommy egg and a daddy egg.

Stop by tomorrow for the massive egg hunt

Birthday

Easter happened to fall on Austin's birthday this year. We celebrated Saturday with friends and Sunday with family. 

I wanted to write a quick post about his birthday and dump some photos on ya so my Easter post wasn't 100 pages long 

=)

I got Austin and Mason matching Rockies shirts for his birthday. They were super cute in them.

I had a dear friend make Austin's cake and it was absolutely ah-maze-ing!! Seriously, it tasted just as good as it looks.

Austin opened his second gift on his birthday.

 A kindle fire. 

Mason and him enjoyed watching Rango together.

Get ready for a photo overload with our Easter post.... I might break it into 2 post so I don't lose any of you
