Bird in the house!?

Mason gave Grandma B a welcome gift when she came over yesterday so we could go to our friends 80's Party. So forgive me when I couldnt let her clean off her face until I got a good video and picture of it first! :)

unseen photos!

Michelle has always been generous taking pictures of Paige since she was born. Sometimes we would just get together for lunch and end up with a photo session like this one.....it was right when she turned 1 and I havent ever seen them until today!!! She was a wild girl and we just kept dressing her up and playing around and I completely forgot we even took them until Michelle gave me a disc of all the pictures shes ever taken of our family-

I am SOOOOOOOOOO glad we did this because I can just hear her scream in some of the pictures and I love that she captured her personality even at 1 years old that we can always look back at and remember!!

This one has all her "favorite babies" and her favorite book I love you forever-

The wild woman came out at the end! I always knew she was "done" when she had pulled out her ponies!

Mason rolled over!!

Mason Rolled over last night of course while I was NOT home! :) Craig walked into the room to notice he had rolled, so he missed it too. (that seems to always happen!)

Then we were able to catch it on video later that night-Hes So proud of himself!

He turned 4 months on Monday and we did our "weigh in" at the Doctors-

He is officially 15 pounds 13 oz and 23 1/2 inches-to put it nicely "short and fat"

His doctor tried to appease me by saying dont worry hell grow out of it, and I said Im not worried, thats just how my babies are-Paige was the same way 95% weight 20% height :) MORE TO LOVE!

He is such a great little boy to have around!

Easter N More...

Looking at this box, I can tell there are many happy people around it! :)

Ok, so hes not so excited.....but I tortured his sister, so I when I looked across Babies R Us and saw the blue suit with ears...I knew it was meant to be :)

Paigies first easter..........pink bunny suit!

Mason's First easter......its only fair :)

Yes, how embarrasing! Next to Great Grandmas doll in a bunny suit!

Sorry but its fair game until hes a year old :)
Paige got her 1st scooter on Wednesday!

I think it already has about 80 hours on it :)

My wonderful, amazing, beautiful (even at 9 months pregnant), talented friend Michelle came out for a fun morning of spring pictures. She was nice enough to help make what we had invisioned in our minds come to life, because wrangling the kids was enough! I dont think we would have done as well if we had tried alone :)

They turned out wonderful!

Thank you Michelle!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Nora for having an Easter Party again this year!

Paige LOVES it !!!!!

Paigie hunting eggs at Noras Easter Party.....

(thanks for doing the dirty work Holly)

Easter Saturday in Valley Center
Some of the derby cars.

Nothing says Easter like shootin' guns :)

Is this an episode of "My Redneck Easter "??!! I think that show would be a HUGE hit! :)
Our annual derby car egg race.....we normally bring down new cars to cut, paint, lube up , and find huge chunks of metal to weigh them down with :) but this year was overhaulin year, so the oldies were back for another chance......

Anybody need a new puppy?! Theres a whole litter, and also kittens! and they are SO cute!

GGama loves this little boy!

Mason's first encounter with a live animal :) .

I think hell need a puppy some day........some day far away :)

He just liked tugging on the fur and the lose skin on the neck....poor little thing didnt even have his eyes open to see the creature that was attacking him!

Celebrity child play day

There were no paparazzi at the Montclair Plaza today..... so if i was prepared maybe i could have made some money :)

How random to see the blond (now brunette) sister from family ties at MONTCLAIR PLAZA of all places.

Not that its a huge star, but just threw something a little interesting into a regular day at the mall. Yes, her daughter was playing in that playground they have and Paige was also in there and I thought, Its paige's first celebrity child play date. hahahaha just kidding........

Just thought id mention it since theres really nothing else to report on lately :)

Its only the 4th day of March......

and there is already so much to share......

Paige went to the dentist for the 1st time today!!

She was a big talker about how she didnt like this or that about the dentist.....and I really tried to talk it up even though its of course A NIGHTMARE when I go. I prepare myself by taking a few Asprin for the headache I know I will have by the time I leave :)

She did AWSOME! The nurses were cracking up because she was so excited to have pictures of her teeth taken....she was chatting it up with them......

They put her in the room and turned on ELMO....so whats better than having your teeth cleaned while watching your favorite show! It worked perfect!

By the time we left she was amazed at the new word she learned...."flouride" and used it in every sentence she could :)
NO CAVITIES!

Masons Blessing

We blessed Mason at church on Sunday. Lots of family showed up so it was a wonderful day to get together.

I knew that when Mason was born he would have huge shoes to fill from his sister and He definately has been an amazing baby who brings so much happiness to our family and to this world! These kids are just the best! Were so lucky!

Very cool to have all these men to support Mason with so much Love!

Meeting his cousin Declan for the first time. Masons about 6 weeks older than him.

I think Declan is wanting Masons huge head off of him! :)

There was an instand bond.

Big 33!

Paige thought he should be decorated just like the house! :) He was so glad to be home from work! haha

Why do our kids look drugged?!

Free Cold Stone on your birthday!!!!!!

We went to sushi for dinner (as paige says SHUSHI). Yes, She eats it along with us :) Its pretty funny seeing a 3 year old down a california roll and seared ahi with no problem.

It was called Haru Haru in chino hills........sooooo yummy!!!! (if you like sushi)

I would write a big "happy birthday honey" letter to craig but he really has no idea what I blog unless I call him in to laugh at someone elses blog. :)

The sweater outfit......

I had to catch some pictures of Mason in this sweater jumper before it was outgrown....its 0-3 months and im not showing his legs on purpose.... :) (they are hanging completely out and it barely snapped around his diaper) But I knew this was a pricey outfit so a picture HAS to be take in while wearing it!!! :)

He was all smiles yesterday...I could have taken hundreds of pictures :)

(hes not a huge fan of the beanie:)) .....

Maybe it was the price tag still inside it so I can go exchange it for an outfit he can wear in a few months.....??? haha
