ALL ABOARD

We all know how much Mason loves trains. For Christmas he received a train conductor costume. Normally he will put it on for a few seconds and want to take it right off. Tonight he wore this around the house searching for train tickets. He was also shouting, "ALL ABOARD!" I love this guy!

Baby Name

I am officially 33 weeks today! This morning Steve and I created a list of things we need to do to prepare for this blessing. We listed things like wash clothes, get diapers, etc. I then mentioned we should probably decide on a name. This has been a topic of discussion since January when we found out we were having a girl. After Steve and I were married we discussed baby names before we were even pregnant. We both liked Mazy for a girl. When we were pregnant with Mason we did not know if he was a boy or girl. We liked the names Mason and Ty for a boy and Mazy Jo for a girl. Well we all know how that turned out. :)

When we found out we were pregnant with a girl this time I thought it was a given, we would name her Mazy. It was not that easy. Steve was not on board as much as I was with the Mazy. He really liked the name Rosie after his Grandmother Rosalie. I loved Rosalie but did not like Rosalie Jo. The name Jo is a Freeman family tradition. My sister and I have the middle name of Jo. This is after my Aunt Joyce, who is my Mom's sister. Needless to say, Steve and I were not on the same page. After many discussions and prayers for guidance to name our daughter we have come to an agreement.

As of right now, our daughter will be named, drum roll please...............

Mazy Jo

Two Peas in a Pod

Steve and Mason are alike in so many ways. I could create a never ending list. I do not mind at all, actually I love it. Think about it... I MARRIED Steve so I must like the characteristics that he possesses.

Mason truly loves popcorn as much as Steve, if not more. The funny things is I do not like popcorn and want nothing to do with it.

Here is a picture of the loves of my life having one of their favorite "midnight" snacks. I took this with my phone so it is not the best.

Watermelon

Here are some pictures of Mason throughly enjoying watermelon when we were at Brad and Teresa's:

Do you see the t-shirt and shorts? Man do we miss that 80 degree weather?!

ROAD TRIP

On Wednesday, Steve, Mason and I headed to St. Louis. We were nervous traveling with a two year old and me being pregnant. However, I was not given permission to fly so it was our only option. We have great friends that live in St. Louis. The Bley's are always such great hosts. They fed us the best pork chops we have ever had! Greg is seriously an amazing cook. I guess that explains why is the the Chef for his shift at the Firehouse. They also provided us a place to stay and a great breakfast. They were an awesome pit stop for us. We then headed to Tennessee. You would have never known that Mason was with us in the car. He was such a great traveler. We drove for five hours to Thompson Station, which is south of Nashville. On Sunday we were in the car from 9am to 6:30pm. Mason was such a trooper. In fact we had a blast. Mason was cracking us up the entire ride home. You can guarantee there will be many more road trips for this family. I am so blessed!!!

Our House is on the Market

We are sad to put Little Blue, our house, on the market. We absolutely love everything about our house. However, it is a two bedroom house and soon we will need more room. With our house on the market we have to keep everything super clean! Those of you who know me know that is not my strength. For the past two weeks we have kept our house spotless! I absolutely love a clean house and think I might even be addicting to cleaning now. :) This brings me to the reason that I have not been blogging. We have a laptop that would sit on our kitchen table (and take up most of the table). Every time we get the laptop out we have to attach a keyboard, mouse and etc. because I spilled soda on it so the keyboard and such do not work. So, we do not get our computer out nearly as often.

Here is a link to a video our realtors made of our house:

Dentist

We took Mason to the dentist. He was not the biggest fan. He would not sit in the chair by himself. He would only sit in the chair on Steve's lap.

At first he would not open his mouth. Of course he brought Thomas the Train I guess he thought that would protect him.

Once Mason was done he was able to select a prize from the treasure chest. He picked so fast that I could not capture the moment.
