Kindergarten and a Birthday!

I love that Mason is in Kindergarten! Although it is extremely difficult to see my first born grow up so fast, I'm excited for the adventure he is embarking. He loves school and I'm so glad he looks forward to going everyday. His birthday was on Tuesday and we had so much fun celebrating! I brought cookies to school! Reese came with me and she LOVED every second of it. We also went to Ixtapa a Mexican Restaurant here in town. We had a lot of fun. Tomorrow is his friends party. Can't wait!

First day of School! (9/9/10)

Morning of his 6th Birthday! We let him open gifts before school! Last year of that!

New DS i XL! SPOILED!

Going to school on his birthday! Reese was sooo excited!

Best part of the day. He didn't like the treat they gave him, but just being sung to was the highlight of his day! I'm sure we'll be going back next year!

Soccer!

This is the first year for Mason and Reese to play soccer. They had one practice so far and they both seem to like it! Reesie is super cute running up and down the field. It's her first team sport and she is super excited to be on a team like her big brother!!

Sheesh I'm lame.

Yes, it's been months. I am still here, just preoccupied with my little ones. We have been trying to keep busy this summer and sitting in-front of the computer doesn't always seem like fun to me anymore. I'd rather be keeping the house clean, go figure. With Derek home now more (summer baseball is finally over), I've seemed to be able to sit more and have him help out a little around the house. It's been so nice! Anyway, we had a photo shoot last week for the kids. I would love to say it went great, but the kids were HORRIBLE. So busy and couldn't sit still. Our photographer, Morgan, did an amazing job regardless and captured some amazing shots of the kids. Here are a few :)

Bye Bye Baby Curls

I knew this day would come. Derek has been bugging me for months to get Maddox's hair cut and I finally caved. Probably because it was a hot mess every morning and I was tired of bathing him just to tame his hair! He did so great while she cut his hair and I think he looks so handsome. I get startled every time he walks in the room! It's so different but so cute!

Stitches

Mason had his first baseball injury on the day of Reese's birthday (of course). Derek took him along to his summer team baseball practice so I could get things ready for the party. I get a call a couple hours before the party is about to start. He said it was bad and that it would need stitches. Apparently he was shagging balls in the outfield with a boy from Derek's team. A ball was coming towards Mason so the boy tried to block the ball from hitting him and accidentally stepped on Mason's leg with his cleat. I had no idea how sharp those cleats are! It split his leg right open. Derek was able to get the blood to stop and cleaned out the wound and wrapped it good. Mason was totally fine and could walk on it so Derek decided to take him to the ER after Reese's party. He was a very brave little boy and only yelled when they gave him a shot to numb the area so they could stitch it closed. He held very still during that! He received 4 nice stitches and a pretty big scar for life. It is already healed and it never slowed him down one bit!

Reese is 3!

I know this is a little late, but I've been slacking lately.

Reese turned 3 last month and nobody could be happier then this happy little girl! We had a fun little Hello Kitty party for her. My family came and it was short, but very sweet! She loved all the fun gifts she got and when the party was over, she was ready to take down all the decorations because "my party is over now mommy". We love this little girls so much. She is so different from her big brother, but we are learning how to deal with a very dramatic 3 year old girl!

Mariners 2010

We were able to go to our first Mariners game of the year a couple weekends ago. We left Maddox with Grandma and took the older two. They were so good and we only had to go potty once. Mason can sit through a whole game with out getting up, well except to dance like a crazy man to try and get on the big screen. That boy LOVES attention!

T-ball - round 1

Mason's t-ball team is in full swing (no pun intended). I can't believe how excited he gets to go play even when it's 40 degrees and rainy. His practices have been rained out for the last few weeks and he is always so disappointed. During the day he throws a ball up and catches it over and over again. And yes, Derek allows him to play catch in the house. No matter how I feel about it, it will happen. I've only lost one picture frame so far. I suppose it's going to take a ball through the TV for Derek to say no more.

15 months!

Stats:
32 1/4 " (80%)
23 lbs 7.5 ozs (30%)
19 1/2 (95%) (head)

I would say he is getting so big, but he actually went down quite a bit in his weight percentage from 1 year. His doctor isn't worried at all. He is an active baby and would eat all day if I let him! He eats more then Reese and Mason at dinner so I know he is getting enough. Must be a lucky boy to have a fast metabolism!

Maddox loves to play and watch baseball right now. He puts the ball on the T and swings, it is pretty much the cutest thing ever. He loves to talk and I'm always surprised what he can say when I ask him to say something. He is champ when it comes to sleeping at night (12-14 hrs straight). I suppose he's making up for waking up 2-3 times a night until he was 12 months. I obviously love this little boy and can't believe this is most likely my last baby (unless I can talk Derek into it in the next 5 years).

Stay Tuned!

Well, you know me. You may have to wait a few days, but I promise to blog soon.
