Mason Goes Skiing

Mason went skiing this weekend with Daddy and Uncle David. I stayed home because I wasn't feeling well (not that I would have been able to ski) and the boys did a great job of getting lots of pictures of his first time down the mountain!

Skiing

Well, this weekend is our first trip to the mountains since the ski resorts opened. Mason tried on his boots to get ready to ski for the first time. He practiced walking around the living room with his boots on. This should be interesting when he is all bundled up and out in the snow. :-)

Thanksgiving

It was beautiful here on Thanksgiving, almost 70 degrees in the city. We spent the day at Cliff's new house and we brought Mason's jeep over for a little backyard fun. Daddy and Uncle David had to chase after him a couple of times he was headed WAY down the hill. Mason would crack up anytime someone would chase him.






Also fit in a little hottub time.

Tried to take a family picture but that is never easy with a 2 1/2 year old.

This one just cracks me up……Mason at his best!

Then we tried to get our own family picture and that was just at difficult.

Couldn't ever get all 3 of us looking at the same time.
Oh well, he is still pretty cute!


Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Projects

Andy has been working hard around the house getting projects done before #2 arrives. Here are some pictures of his hard work.

New light fixture over the dining room table.

Mini can lights over the island.

TV hung up in the kitchen.

Picture of all 3. Love having more light in the kitchen and having a tv to watch while cooking (not that the living room tv isn't big enough). :-)

Re-done pantry! I didn't like my pantry before so Andy cut the shelves so they are more usable and we can step into it now.

Lots of projects in the nursery.

New dimmer switches so I am not blinded in the middle of the night for feedings.

New light fixture.

Quilt hung…….

Blinds and curtains hung.


My main project was in the closet. Washing and organizing clothes!

It was too quiet…...

And this is what I found………diaper bag completely emptied out on the floor and Mason rummaging through a drawer looking for tools.

Reality Check

Starting to get things together for the newest addition and looking at the tiny diapers kinda put things into perspective as to what is coming our way. Mason ended in a size 5 and the little diaper is a size 1. YIKES!

Big Brother Practice

Mason's buddy Miller is just learning how to walk and Mason did a good job of holding his hand to help him. We had to slow him down a bit though so he wouldn't pull Miller over.

Elk

Saturday morning we heard some lound noises outside and found the elk herd in our back yard. They made their way around the house and some came into the front yard/driveway area (Mason quickly scared them away with his banging on the windown and yelling "hey elks).



There were a few deer co-mingling with the elk in the driveway.

Causing a major road block just hanging in the road.

This guy was pretty big!


A little while later another group came storming up to join their friends. For as big as they are, elk move pretty fast.

Crusin'

Mason recently found his sunglasses and has been wearing them a lot. Fitting that he was wearing them while driving his car around the house, but I don't think he needed them on the potty. HA!

Crusin' around the house!



You gotta have keys to start your car!


Pit stop! :-)

X-mas Shopping

The Target Christmas catalogue came in the mail this week and Mason flipped through every page oohing and aahhing. His favorite page had all the Thomas toys (surprise, surprise)!

Art Class

We took a break from gymnastics to do a art class for 4 weeks. This week the kids got to finger paint a fish. Mason really has a lot of fun in this class.

So talented! :-)


My white jacket quickly got moved away from the munchkin!
