My new friend

Recently we've introduced some toys to Mason. His favorites are a play set of keys, teething ring, and this little guy...

We call him Baby Ellie.

I think he likes the music from it, because it tends to calm him and sometimes even puts him to sleep!! X O X O Baby Ellie, we love you and welcome to the family!

He Did it, He Did it!!!!

So.....Blade passed his HAC board yesterday!! After working really hard, studying, and flying, since he's been back from deployment, Blade made Helicopter Aircraft Commander! We are so proud of him! So I decorated the house, made Mason a special onesie, and we went out to The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate.

Mark joined us for a yummy meal. We even ended with cheesecake and coffee....so good!

Gotta love the hiney shot!!

We are so proud of you Blade! Way to go, you deserve this, baby!!
