Where's my Blankie???

OK I couldn't resist. Mason was helping me do the laundry the other day and he spotted his favorite blanketin the dryer and of course he wanted it right now even though it was sopping wet. I couldn't keep him out of the dryer until he had it all the way out. Of course he had a melt down when I had to put it back in to make sure it was dry for bedtime.. He is quite a determined little guy!!!

Skating with Santa

This is the 2nd year that we were able to go Skating with Santa and again Adam was out of town on business he was pretty bummed about that. Grandpa got to come and babysit so I could go to work the rest of the week. Thank goodness for Grandpa!!! The boys caught on really quick. It only took them about 10 min to get the hang of it then they were zipping around the rink like pros. It was so cold and it was snowing really hard but all in all we had a great time. Mason was too funny when he sat on Santa's lap. He couldn't stop staring at his white beard. If he wouldn't have had his mittens on I think Santa would have lost his beard.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year with one very big surprise. My niece and nephew called my parents the day they were leaving to come to our house and wanted to know if they they were doing for the holiday. When my Mom told them where they were going they were kinda disappointed until my Mom ask if they wanted to come too. They were both so surprised and excited to come. I think this was one of the best Thanksgivings we have had.

Grandpa and the kids got a kick out of watching a movie in 3-D after dinner.... I am so glad they came!!!!

School Pix

When the boys got home from school today Adam looked in their back backs and look what he found...

I think this is the first year that both of the boy had great pictures. I think it might have to do with the threat that I gave them before they left for school. " I don't want cheesy smiles. I want nice smiles with teeth." The day they had the pictures done I asked them if the had them taken before lunch or after. When Kaleb told me that he had his done after lunch I pretty much thought that I had wasted my money. I can always tell what that kid has had for lunch everyday that I pick them up from school with out even asking him. I have to say that I am very happy with the pictures this year!!!

Mason's First Hair Cut.

Mason's hair in the back was really getting long so it was time for a haircut. He was so cute. I we both sat down on the bathroom floor and I took the clippers to him. He thought the buzzing was pretty funny. Since Adam had rubbed all of his hair out on top when he was really little in the shower we only had to trim up the back so he didn't look like a little girl. We even saved the hand full of hair for his baby book. Now he looks like a little man.

Halloween 2008

This year was kind of low key for us. We carved a couple of pumpkins and went to the Trunk R Treat. We also went to the Boo at the Zoo with Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Gary. It was such a nice day and it was so crowded at the zoo. The boys had fun seeing the animals and just spending time with G & G. Kegan was Darth Vader, Kaleb was Iron Man, and Mason was a little Bat. Mason really got into flapping his arms to see his wings move. He couldn't quite figure out what was attached to his arms.

Shake It!!!

Adam's office had a summer picnic and it was a lot of fun to meet all of his co-workers and to take a tour of the plant he works in but I think the high light of the entire day was to see the boys playing with the hula hoops.

Kegan really got the hang of it pretty quick but Kaleb was too embarrassed to really try. Mason even got in on the fun. The boys got to try rock climbing too. We all had a really good time.
