Playhouse Disney Live

Today we headed out to the Toyota Center for some Sunday Family Fun! We got these tickets a while back to take Mason to Playhouse Disney Live. I wasn't sure how it was going to go....if he would sit still, if he would be scared, if he would even care! Well....it was AWESOME! We were on the front row just to the left of the stage. Mason had a great time and we loved seeing his excitement watching the whole 2 hr show!!! Mason was even picked to go on stage and do the Hot Dog Dance! We have done the Hot Dog Dance a BILLION times at home. I wasn't sure he would go, but he eagerly went on stage and it was SOOOO CUTE!! By the end of the day he was POOPED and crashed on the way home :)

All ready to go!

We're HERE!

Little Einsteins
Tigger and Pooh

He sat like this the WHOLE time!

Handy Manny and the tools

Glow in the dark tools!

Break time!

A mouth full of fruit chews :)

All ready to do the Hot Dog Dance with Mickey!

THE END!

Mason's Big Boy Room

So...A friend of mine was showing me her nursery and son's room and it was SOOO CUTE! And after doing a little fun paint decorating in Madelyn's room I decided to do a little painting and finishing up Mason's room before Madelyn gets here :) Since we have moved in, his room was just bare with hardly anything on the walls....it just was PLAIN. So I decided to paint some stripes on the wall to give it a little something! So I just have 2 shelves to hang and then his room is DONE! I will hang those this weekend (nesting?!?!?) I guess so!!!

115,979 + 139,769 =

Some of you might already know this answer without having to do the math!!! SOOOO...the question is: What do those two numbers added together equal:



2001 Navigator (my car) + 1997 Blazer (Marcus' car) = TOTAL miles added together we have on our cars!!!! AS OF TWO DAYS AGO!

Christmas came early for me:

~Thank you, Marcus! Mommy and I just love our new ride...especially since Nanny and DD get to talk to me through my speakers on the bluetooth :) and I won't mess up mommy's phone!!

Merry Christmas: Round 2

This Thursday was Mason's school Christmas party. It was not a big party but he had a great time decorating cookies and exchanging books with a friend.

Smile

Say CHEESE!!!! Ms. Annette, Ms. Cara

**Mason is not a big fan of icing....which is totally opposite from his first birthday where he DOVE into his cake! He barely ate the cookie! He had a great time and enjoyed his Go, Dogs, Go! book he received :) I just can't believe Christmas is less than a week away!!!

~36 Weeks~

Today was my 36 week appt. I can't believe I am already to my weekly appointments!!! Those have been hard to schedule since the holidays are coming up....so my next appt. is on Christmas Eve....that will be my last time to see baby sister Madelyn on ultrasound before she arrives :) So far so good....was the theme for this appointment!

Blood pressure : CHECK
Weight: lost a pound, but right where I need to be +23 so far
Internal exam: OUCH!!! 75% effaced, 1cm dilated
Positioning: HEAD DOWN ready to come...Doc GUESSES during the week of January 5th (OUR 7yr ANNIVERSARY)...I would like to go into labor on my own and avoid meds (yes I may be nuts, but I CAN'T have a repeat delivery) or a C-section, but I know things are TOTALLY out of my control...I was proven that with Mason's delivery.

We will be able to see Madelyn next week full term with our last ultrasound....I can't believe how crazy fast this pregnancy has gone. I have FINISHED her nursery and put finishing touches on Mason's room. I will post pics of that ASAP!

Merry Christmas: Round 1

This weekend my parents came down for an early Christmas. We had a wonderful time playing hide n go seek, bowling alley, and coloring! They did not come empty handed....they spoil us every Christmas and this year was no different. Thank you Mom and Dad for the wonderful time this weekend and all the goodies you brought for Mason and us!

This year was fun....Mason loved to unwrap the gifts!

Besides his Bounce house Nanny and Papa gave him on Thanksgiving...his bowling alley was the next big hit!

Kisses for Nanny


Ready to see Santa....EXCEPT when we got there Santa was taking his "nap" aka. lunch break :(

Another FUN gift Mason enjoyed...his Dance Cam from Aunt Jenny, Uncle Paul, and Kylie! Mason was shocked to see himself on TV...he kept waving to himself. It is cool...you hook this camera up to your TV and it plays different songs and you dance with different characters on TV with them. You can also hook your iPod or MP3 player up to it and play the songs you lil one knows...SO CUTE!

You Know You Have A Problem When...

Your 2 yr. old son says in his sleep "TARGET" at 3:00AM :) I guess it was the 2 trips I made there yesterday....or it could be the DAILY trips I have made there this past week!

*Laura....we need to start limiting our Target trips or we could be in SERIOUS trouble :)

However...I may have to limit them after Christmas since I have a trip planned there tomorrow ;) (and since I will have probably added another lil one that will make the trip just a little more interesting) I know Mason will be looking for his buggy buddy, Hunter, to keep him company while strolling through the store!

Picture Tag

My friend Jennifer just tagged me. How fun! These were the directions:

1. choose the 4th picture folder on my computer
2. choose the 4th picture
3. explain the picture
4. and tag 4 more people to do the same

**The most precious day of my life! I just love watching Marcus with Mason..you can tell he looks up to his daddy! Oh my...how time flies and how we will be adding another lil one to the family here shortly :) I can't wait to see Marcus with his lil princess.

34 Week Checkup

My due date is fast approaching and with each given day of December I am beginning to think I won't see January! YIKES!!!! I really hope Madelyn decides to stay put for a little longer....still so much to do and with CHRISTMAS almost here.....

I had my 34 week appt. last Thursday. Weigh in, blood pressure, listen to Miss Madelyn's hear beating away....and WAIT!!! Right when the nurse left my room and I was next up to see the doctor I heard them talking in the hallway "Tell them I will be 30 minutes...." Well I knew that she was off to deliver a baby. So the nurse came back 40 min later to ask me if I wanted to see the other doctor in their practice because she did not know how long it would be before Dr. Andrews was done. Apparently there was a BABY BOOM that day! Anyways, I saw the other doc. for all of 2 minutes!!!! She came in measured my belly...Measuring 2 weeks small...then pretty much left as I was trying to ask her questions. So needless to say the appt. was a bit disappointing.

On the up side...Madelyn's nursery is ALMOST complete and I love it :) Mason seems to love it too....he always wants to go in Baby Sister's room! I also did a lil painting in Mason's room as well. When I upload the pics I will post them :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mr. Handsome :)

Our family has a lot to be thankful for! We are so blessed and had such a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Early Christmas present...Nanny and Papa gave Mason this Bounce House...he and Kylie BOUNCED for hours on it....Mason wore Kylie FLAT OUT :)

Jenny playing Hide and Go Seek with Mason and Kylie...Mason loved giving away his hiding place...He and Jenny would be hiding and Kylie would be looking for them and when Mason saw Kylie walk into the room they were hiding in he would say "Hi Kylie"...so cute :)

Looking under the bed for Kylie

Kylie, Mason, Jenny...cute pic...Mason's hair was WILD here :)
More bouncing on Thanksgiving Day!

....and football throwing!

P Paul, Kylie and Jenny

Us girls :)

Nanny and Mason Papa and Mason...he loves when my dad makes this crazy sound with his mouth...he always says MORE...Papa do that!

On Black Friday my mom, sister and I set out to get the GREAT DEALS at Toys R Us, Target, Walmart, Macy's and Old Navy...we started at 4:00am and did not return home till 12:30! LONG FUN DAY! BUT...we did get some steals ;) My friend Stephanie had my list of things I wanted from Target and I had hers from Toys R Us and we got all the items on our list...We will TAG TEAM again next year!!

1..2..3...What Will It Be?!?!?

My sister, Jenny, had her first ultrasound yesterday since finding out she was pregnant around Halloween!!! She had been waiting for this day for a while...and I was on pins and needles waiting to hear their GREAT news! She is almost 7 weeks along. When she went in for the ultrasound...the Nurse said....DON'T get worried if we don't see the heartbeat...it is really early! Well the moment she started the ultrasound....there he/she was strong heartbeat and everything!! That's right Jenny and her family will be adding 1 sweet blessing to their family in early July....maybe the 4th of July on Jenny's birthday :) We couldn't be more excited for them!!! Now I can't wait to find out BOY or GIRL...but that will probably be AFTER Madelyn arrives...WOW that is hard to imagine :) Congrats!!!!

Deal of the Day

Thanks to my friend Audrey (SUPER SHOPPER) for my deal of the day! Last night Target.com had their Britax Marathon car seats for $42.99 plus tax FREE SHIPPING!!! YES, that is right a REGULAR 250.00 dollar Car seat for 46.00!!! I stocked up...I got 3 one for the new lil one and 2 for my sister...in hopes she has twins..we will find out on Wednesday :)

***Target.com had a computer GLITCH and the price was WRONG! I contacted them and the guy HUNG UP on me....what do you think...should they honor the price?

Big Boy Bed

(waking up this morning in his big boy bed!)

All week I have been talking up Mason's BIG BOY BED!!! So on Friday afternoon Mason took his last nap in his crib....and it was a long one :) When Marcus got home from work Friday we began turning Mason's room into his Big Boy Room with his new bed and bedding. He was so excited to watch us put up his big boy bed he couldn't wait to get in it! I wondered how long that would last..... Well it was time for our nightly routine after finishing up with his big boy room. Bath, brush teeth, read books, then bed! He was sooo excited he wanted to skip reading the books....WHICH IS NEVER THE CASE! But, we still read to him and put him down in his bed. We rushed to the monitor to see just how long it would be before he climbed out. YEAH...he slept there all night and until 8:20 this morning!! The next test was NAP!! Well...I am typing this as he sleeps AGAIN in his big boy bed :) He did get up once and try to escape (which he couldn't) cried for daddy and Marcus went back in and put him back down and told him stay put we would be back after night night! My lil guy is growing right before my eyes!!

30 Weeks

Wow! That is all I can say...WOW!!! In just a few short VERY BUSY months we will meet lil Madelyn. How can it be that time has FLOWN! Today was my 30 week appt. and this past Tuesday we had a 3D ultrasound to peek in on our sweet lil girl.



*30 week appt: I always get nervous getting my blood pressure taken...I worry it is going to sky rocket or plummet like it did with Mason toward the end of my pregnancy which resulted in Preeclampsia and Toxemia. I really really pray that I don't get this with this pregnancy.

1. Weight : +1 lb from last month



2. Blood Pressure: 116/80



3. Belly measurement: 29 weeks...I measured a couple weeks smaller with Mason too but he came 10 days early :)


4. Heart beat: Heart Rate 143



5. Questions/Concerns: I had been sick and dehydrated earlier in the week....so I went to get monitored on the L&D floor to make sure everything was fine....Madelyn checked out PERFECT!!



6. Make my last round of appts.!!!! I can't believe I am in the home stretch! I had Mason at 38 weeks...that means if she decides to come early... only 8 more weeks to go!

**I am working on her nursery...the crib and bedding come next week and I plan on finishing the painting (with help) next week as well!!! As for now...I better get some Christmas planning/shopping done before time slips away and January creeps up on me :)
