Mason finally walks!!!

After thinking Mason would never do more than shuffle on his knees, he decided to give walking a try.

Good times!

Here's a video from a few weeks ago of Brandon making Mason giggle.

0' dark thirty

For the past three mornings, Mason has decided the four o'clock hour is the best time of day, especially if he can share this time with Mommy!!! Brandon decided to join the fun this am, so we made pancakes and watched the sun rise together.
Just for the record, I miss sleep!

Pumpkin Pickin 2011

This year found us at a new farm for our annual pumpkin pickin' adventure. We went to the Marana Farm with Grandma Diane and Great-Grandma. It was great, close to home and definitely family oriented (petting zoo, jumping pillow, straw maze, and sand-box!! We started this tradition while Kevin and I were dating (with Brian, Peggy, and Easton) in 2003 at the farms in Willcox (Apple Anne's) and most years since, but last year we were at Agua Linda farms (I delivered Mason two days later). Apple Anne's is still my favorite! Mason's first time at the pumpkin patch!!!

1st year comparison

I've said it before but I'll say it again, I grow large boys! Mason is right on track to be as big as his big brother!

Mason: 25 lbs (80th %ile)
32 inches (97th %ile)
70th %ile for head circumference

Brandon (at one year): 26 lbs
31 inches

Mason is doing well, reaching all milestones and gave the doc a good laugh as he shuffled across the floor on his knees (his version of walking)!

Five years & counting

I love flowers, too bad five years ago I told Kevin flowers were a waste of money, good thing he doesn't always listen to me!!!!
At our five year mark!
At our rehearsal dinner, five years ago.

Kevin and I married five years ago today!!! It's hard to believe how fast the years have gone, now here we are with two boys to make our future years that much better (and busier).

Happy 1st Birthday Mason

We started celebrating the day with Mason's favorite breakfast, eggs with cheese, toast, fruit, and milk!
Still not overly fond of cupcakes

"I'm one today!!!"
