I love you UPS!

It came today!! I finally ordered Mason some crib bedding, and the UPS man just delivered it this afternoon! I am only like 7 months or so late getting his room done, or even started, but oh boy am I excited! So now I need to get the rest of the room done. I was just so excited to finally get the bedding, that I had to share!

Mason was so cute when I put him in the crib with all the new bedding. He just kept walking around the sides looking at it all! He posed so well for me too with all the shots! Except that one of his hiney!!

Movin' and Shakin'

This weekend we helped Mark move into his new apartment. Mason got a little restless being held the whole time, so once we got into the new place, we cleared a little spot on the floor and Markie got his keyboard down. So Mason played us some tunes while we unpacked! All in all, it went well!Mason's also gotten pretty good at using his sippy cup...well he mostly bites on it and the water drips down his shirt, but at least he gets the jist of it!! Doesn't it look huge next to his little face?!

We've also been giving Mason those Gerber Puffs, and he's lovin those. Anyways, just a little update for you! Oh and I am not sure where the shakin' came into our weekend, I just liked the sound of it for the title!!

The last few weeks..

It seems as though we've kept pretty busy these last few weeks! Not to mention that it seems like time is flying by. Mason's been sick with a cold, and we've been in a heat wave here! Besides that... we went to the Midway Museum, and the Birch Aquarium a couple weekends ago. We've been trying to enjoy all that San Diego has to offer, and so far, so good.
Mason's favoite...all the knobs in the control areas!!

And the Birch Aquarium was neat too.

Mason loved when Blade would hold him up to the glass so that he could touch it!!

So hopefully I'll do some more up to date pictures after this weekend!! We are helping Mark move this weekend, so maybe we'll get some good action shots from that :)

San Diego Zoo

We went to the San Diego Zoo on Labor Day, and ohh was it fun! We started out by going to base to get our tickets, and found out that Active Duty Military gets in free. Mason didn't need a ticket because he's too young, so for 3 of us, we only had to buy 1! (If you know me, you know how I love a good deal, so you can imagine how excited I was!!) We did however make up for it with all the food/drinks we bought once inside!

My favorite part of the day was when we got to ride the 'Skyfari'. It was neat to overlook the whole zoo, and even parts of San Diego, including Balboa.

We also took the bus tour, which was about 30 minutes and showed us the entire zoo. Including these giraffes (which Mason looks so excited to see!!)!

Their newest exhibit was called 'Elephant Odyssey, and it was so cool. We watched them eat and get a bath.

We got to the zoo a little after 12, and didn't leave until 6! So a fun holiday with my boys!!

Major Catch up!!

It's time for some catch up!! Mason turned 6 months on Aug 12th, we introduced rice cereal to him, and it was a no go! I was really excited to start him on food, but he wasn't a huge fan.

Since then we've tried Sweet Potatos, and we can get a few spoon fulls of that in before he purses his lips and won't let anymore in!! There's lots more to try out there for him, so we'll see :)

A few days later, Mason and I left for Montana for 2 weeks while Blade was heading out of town for HARP(a training school). It was so nice to be around family for that time, but boy did we miss our Blade!! Blade took us to the airport...we traveled in our PJ's!!

Once we got there, Mason had so much fun with his cousins...in fact they tuckered him out so much he started going to be around 7:30pm the whole time we were there!! So thanks kids! Mom and Jen took us to the park, carousel, we had a picnic in the backyard, we went on walks and played tons! In fact Jack and Mason started a band together!!

Joey was so sweet, and gave Mason lots of kisses!

Me and Mason at the Carousel, our last day there!

We also got to see Blades family for a short visit, but my camera was broken...due to a small mishap at the Carousel...don't worry Jen, Blade already fixed it!! So we didn't get any pics, but were happy to see everyone!!

So a busy last few weeks, but now we are back in San Diego, surviving the heat and loving being back with Blade!
