Time is zipping right past me.

So the next couple of days/weeks are going to be crazy.
Sunday MASON turns 2!!!!!
Holy cow where did time go!! Seriously. I officially have a toddler.
He is wild most of the time. There is nothing he doesn't say or copy-cat.
He is still taking a nice 2 hour long nap every day from 1:30- 3:30.
He goes to bed at 8:30 and we dont hear a peep from him till 7 or so.
He loves to play outside and with Dooly ((the dog)).
Every time one of AJ's friends comes by he will make a fist and tell them to pound it. He will punch their fist with his. Haha.
He is super polite, always saying please and thank you and yelling bless you to everyone.
He has also hit his 'typical 2's'.
We say don't touch that and he touches it.
We say let me have that and he turns and runs and throws it as fast as he can.
He is always wanting to help and do everything him self.
He is learning more and more every day.

We are having family over on Sunday night for his birthday, should be fun.
Here are his 2 year old pictures...

The car is a gift from AJ's Dad and Step mom.

We will be busy the next couple of days with weddings and birthdays so
I figured I'd better get a post in before i procrastinate some more and
it never gets done. ;)

Beach in Winter?!

I dont know about you guys,
but... every time i feel that warm sun start to come out,
I want to book it to the beach!
And thats just what we did.
Mason has only been Twice and we only live less then 30 min away.
He had the best time ever.
AJ's cousin Nicki came with us.
The weather was so nice we didnt need sweatchirts and we got to play in the water!!

Big One!

Alright, I realize i am really terrible at keeping up on this whole blog thing..
So i am going to try and catch you up in one post. :)
I'm going to jump all over the place soooo hold on!
New Years Eve.

I think this nye was the first one where we had absolutely no plans.
We ended up going to AJs' aunt Melanie's house up the road.
They were having a get together with friends and family, so we just joined right in.

Mason was a trooper. I half expected him to be passed out by 9 but he stayed up till 11
and was up bright and early at 6. So nice of him huh?
How do you teach you kid that sleep is good.. and sleeping in, in the morning.. is soooo much better lol.

((Mason, Melanie, AJ))

Mason with his Grandma Cheryl.

Alright. On to christmas.
Like last year and the year before, we were extememly busy.
Bouncing around to 5 different places in 2 days.
It's a good thing christmas only happens once a year.

Mason and AJ playing with his new truck Christmas morning.

The necklace AJ bought me. :) Diamonds...

Here is us setting up the christmas tree.

We had to put everything valuable up top and all the plastic down below..
but Mason still managed to get most of it off and spread all over my house.

These are the most recent:
Mason is talking up a storm, it really is crazy how fast he is learning!!

He is still such a bath boy. It is his favorite time of the day.
He loves it more when dad gives him a bath with bubbles. :)

All dressed up with no where to go.
Such a stud.

We have been having storm after storm hit us this last week.
I think we are on storm number 5 or 6...
and we arent done yet.
I think they said we will see a little sun this weekend but then
back to the rain.
We have had flash flood warnings, hail, and tornado warnings.
It has been pretty crazy, but i am ready for some Sun Shine.

((I know this probably seems like no biggie to you Missourians.. but to us, this is big. lol))
