Mason's First Movie

This afternoon we went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. Blue Springs movie theater has a movie each week that is only $2 to see.

Mason and the girls!

Mason LOVES his girls! We are so lucky to live so close to them. They did very well watching the movie.

Of course Mason was entertained awhile with snacks!

Birthday Blast

We started off my birthday at Summit Waves with some of my teacher friends.

This area is only for kids 7 and under. Mason and Mommy had a blast!

From there we headed to Charming Charlie's. It is a pretty cool store. They have watches, purses, shoes, dresses, shirts, (well you get the idea) in any color that you could imagine. We had fun trying lots of stuff on. Mason would walk up to something and say "pretty, right Mama". He would also say "oh that cute".

From there we went to lunch at Chik Fil A. Have you ever noticed that they have Christian music playing in the background? I love supporting places like that. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures. :(

We then took Mason to stay that night at Grandmother and Pop Pop's house so Steve and I could have some adult time. Mason ADORES them. He loves going over there.

Steve and I came back and headed out on the boat. It was getting kind of hot so we went to the bar at the Marina Grog and Galley. We grab a bite to eat and had a few drinks. If you have never been before you should go. It is such a unique place.

After hanging out on the lake eating and drinking a little more. We ended the evening with a slow boat ride home.

Potty Training

I have been very hesitant to post about this topic. I know that some people feel Mason is too young to potty train. I really want to give it a try if it works, it works. We have been working on it for the past week. I have been super nervous taking him in public with underwear on. Today I put him in a diaper and headed to Crown Center. We had a very fun filled day. (I will blog about that later.) He did not do anything in his diaper the ENTIRE day!!! I am so proud of him! I need to have more confidence in him! WOW Mason, you did it!!!!

Two Today

Mason Man is 2 today! Can you believe that? He is such a great kid and we are so blessed!

Have you seen Mom's from other blogs list things they love about their children? I love that idea! Mason is two so I will give you two things I love about him.

1. I love, love, love his laugh. He has this full belly laugh that is the cutest thing. When he gets excited he laughs. When you tickle him he laughs. When you say Micky Mouse Clubhouse he laughs. When you pull out bubbles he laughs. When he gets fruit snacks he laughs. He is such a happy kid.

2. I also adore that he helps me so much throughout the day. Mason will help me unload the dishwasher, with laundry, clean, you name it and he has helped me.

We am so thankful for every second that we have with Mason.

Sail-ebration!!!

Today was Mason's birthday party! I cannot believe tomorrow my little angel will be 2. He is the light of my life!!! Here are a few pictures of today.

The rain could not hold off. :( This is everyone inside because of the rain.

Mason helped me make the sailboats yesterday. He is such a great helper.

I made Mason his own sailboat cake however, a bowl fell out of the cabinet and smashed it. We lost a sail in the process. Mason absolutely loved the cake anyway.

Happy Birthday Mason!

I do not have any good pictures of his shirt. I had to make him a sailboat shirt.

Getting Ready for Tomorrow

Tomorrow we are having Mason's family birthday party. Tonight we baked the cupcakes. Yes, WE. Mason helped with every single step.

Fourth of July

We had a pretty good fourth! After church we headed to my Aunt and Uncle's house. While we were there we had a great time. It is so great to spend time with the ones you love!

Mason almost loves the trampoline as mush as his girls.

After hanging out there for awhile we left to watch fireworks from the boat. Mason played so hard he took a little snooze on the way home.

We got home just in time to head out on the boat. Here on the lake everyone watches the fireworks from their boat. I tried to take a picture of all the boats but I am not a photographer. As you can see it did not turn out. I bet there are about 500 boats. It is so fun to see all the boats.

We tied up on the front row with some of our lake friends. Here are just a few pictures of the fireworks. It was an amazing show.
