It's a....... BOY!

I had another ultrasound yesterday to check my bleed. Good news..........the bleed is so much smaller (almost entirely gone)! Doc was really pleased!

We also got an early sneak peek at the sex of the baby..........another boy for the Buchholz family! Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday's appointment. The last 2 prove how I am going to be out-numbered the rest of my life! HA! :-)

Check out where the arrows are pointing......yep, those are boy parts! ;-)

Weekend Away

After being majorly restricted for the past 6 weeks and having missed a vacation, I was itching to get out of town for a while. So, this past weekend we went to Vail with Uncle David, Grammy, and Grandpy. It was so nice to get away to somewhere else and relax for the weekend. 

As usual, Mason had a blast in the pool. I am so happy he loves the water and doesn't mind putting his face in either.

Showing Uncle David how he can JUMP!

Swimming on the noodles!

He always loves a good game of getting tossed REALLY high!

Uncle David!.....He actually found this hilarious!

Payback!

Mason and Uncle David

Playing on the big bear while we get ready to go on a bike ride. 

Someone was pretty excited to go on a bike ride!

Mason and Daddy!

Future PGAer

When Andy got home from golf on Sunday, Mason said, "golfin, shoes on" and proceeded to bring me his shoes and take Andy's to him. Guess he really wanted to play golf too. He has really good hand-eye coordination, but we are working on holding the club with 2 hands. 

 Daddy trying to help him use 2 hands. 

 Daddy showing him how to do it............he also hit it so hard he dented the ball (then later the club too). Oops, these clubs weren't made for someone Andys size. :-)

 Oops, we don't hit the ball in the water when we play golf (says daddy). 

Quite the 1 handed swing. I think he would be a really good polo player at this point.  

He would hit the ball and chase it all over the driveway screaming, "GOLFIN"! 

 Another lesson.......

Gotta get him out on the course soon! :-)

Helping Daddy

Since we have moved, one of Mason's favorite things to do is to help daddy with his tools. You can imagine he isn't the most helpful but he like to follow Andy around with the tools. He is actually getting better at handing things to Andy when he asks for them.

Jumping

Mason has been spending a lot of time at the pool and his fear level is pretty small. You will see that he jumps in whether you are ready for him or not. Swim lessons pronto for this kid!

4th of July

For the first time in a couple of years we had a beautiful day for the 4th of July! Mason had his wagon all decorated for the neighborhood parade. Even though he spent most of the parade turned around looking for the fire trucks!

 Checking out the fire trucks with Grandpy. 

 Fire trucks make this kid smile!

 CHEESE!

 Even bigger smiles when he got to sit on the truck. 

 Parade time!

 During the parade Mason started waving his flag around.......next year he will hopefully understand that flags do not go on the ground. :-)

 More fire truck watching. If you could only hear what he is saying......."ooohhhh, big fire trucks".........over and over again!

 A better view on Daddy's shoulders. 

 Mason is a lucky boy, he even got a tour of the ambulance. 

 Attempt #1 at a family picture..........

 Attempt #2..........better, but not our best family pic. 

 After eating lunch, Mason decided it was time to dance.

This kid has some good moves! :-)

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!

George

Mason LOVES Curious George and he likes to watch him when he gets up. One morning, this is what I found.........

Loungin on the coffee table!

Hi Mommy!

Back to the show..........

Who knew the coffee table was more comfortable than the couch?!?!
