Happy Halloween!

These are just the pics we were able to snap before the camera died. Mom should have better pics and I will get them from her eventually! Mariah was our little Lady Bug and Mason was our little Pea Pod. Mariah didn't mind the church party but she really liked trick-or-treating Halloween night. At the church party she picked a sucker from the tree so she was occupied with that for a while then she won a cup cake on cake walk with Grandma...boy was she messy. On Halloween night she wouldn't let people put her candy in her bag she had to grab it and put it in herself! Every time we'd leave a door she'd just say "bye." We're still working on Thank you. She can say it kind of but its hard to catch.

Snow Day!

Well we had our first snow fall last night so we took Mariah out today to experience her first snow. She actually enjoyed it but she didn't like the fact that it was on her little table outside so she had to brush it all off! : )

After Bath!

Just a few snap shots of Mason after his bath! All Clean!

Play Time!

So I usually bring Mason into the kitchen while I'm cooking dinner and lay him on his play mat..well Mariah being Big Sister...always joins and plays with him! She thinks it's hilarious when he kicks his legs and is smiling or cooing! I think she's warming up to him!

Mariah's Pumpkin!

Mariah wanted her own pumpkin so we let her pick one out! Although she was not going near a carving knife! So I gave her these big fat markers to have at it with! She loved it but let me tell you its a good thing they were washable because I think most of the marker was on her! We enjoyed the pumpkins for like 3 days before the deer ate them off our front steps!

I'm Stuck!

Some times Mariah gets herself into some "tight situations."

Smiles!

Hello from Mason! I love that the lil guy is smiling now!

Updated Mason!

Sleepy time with dad, but I think dad slept more than Mason! Mariah loves to "pet" Mason while he's chillin in his swing!

Mariah's first Fair Rides!

We took Mariah to the fair this year a couple of weeks ago so she got to experience a ride or two. She didn't do too bad with them either! What can I say my kids kind of a panzy! :)

Obession With Things That Aren't Hers!

Once again with the whole "dress up!" Notice in the last picture she added Dad's glove and o yeah nice hair huh? I had it up in piggy's and this is what we got when we took them out at bed time!

Little Man!

Our little man just hanging out! He went to the doctor Tuesday for his one week check up and all is well! He is back to his birth weight so he's gaining a little bit since he lost a little in the hospital!

Dress Up Anyone??

So little miss has this obsession with taking clothes from Josh and I's room rather it be from the dirty laundry or from my "personal" cabinet by my bed. Yes she has a bra around her neck like a necklace. We went and bought her a dress up box in hopes she would leave our stuff alone...boy were we wrong! I'm waiting for the day she comes out with undies around her neck (yes she does that) when someone is over...luckily only grandma was here when she came out with the bra.

Welcome Mason!

Mason Joshua graced us with his presence Monday July 26th at 5:47pm weighing 6lb 5oz and 19 1/4 in length.

Mariah is adjusting to having a brother one day at a time! I went into her room and found her in Masons tub...think she might be a little jealouse.

I think Mason looks like his daddy for sure!

Pool Time!

We took Mariah to the "kiddy pool" today for the first time. She LOVED it. We had taken her to the public pool but she screamed the whole time. She has a little blow up one in our back yard and likes that one so we figured we'd try shallow kiddy pool.

Fishin at the River!

I took Mariah down for a little bit to the Yellowstone where daddy was fishing! I think she had more excitement over throwing rocks into the river. Lets just say she was pretty muddy by the time we left!

Mall of America Trip!

Mariah at the end of her LONG day at Mall of America! She did really well though throughout the day! I was very impressed!

Me and Mariah on the turtle!

In the middle of the mall there is Nickelodean Universe which is just a HUGE amusement park for kids! I wish Mariah was a little older to enjoy that part!

Front entrance to Mall of America!
