Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

We are getting ready for the holidays and cannot wait for Mason to see what he gets from Santa!!

Pumpkin fun!

Fall

Welcome fall weather, we are so glad you are here! We have had a busy month. We headed to see Gaga and Papa to celebrate Olivia's first birthday. Mason helped her eat some cake and open gifts. We also went to GiGi and PawPaw's and Mason enjoyed sitting on the tractor. Once Uncle John started the tractor and started to take Mason for a ride he had a melt down. Maybe next year! :) This past weekend we had a visit from Gaga, Sarba, and Olivia. We went shopping all day sat. and celebrated Matts Birthday. Sunday Nana and the Meade's joined all of us to head to the Punkin Patch. Mason had a good time looking at all the punkins. We are so happy it is nice outside and we can play!

Field Day of the Past

So the end of the summer has been very busy. Mid August my very dear friend Jen moved to West Va. She and her kids have been like family to me, and Mason just LOVES her kids. So we tried to spend as much time with them as possible before they left. Then we were busy planning a surprise party for Papa. Before we headed home for the party, Mason got sick and we went to the ped. to find out he had another ear infection. So we set up an appointment with an ENT Dr and got some antibiotics. We headed to Lynchburg to have the party and even went out on a boat on saturday. We had a great time and got to spend some time with a lot of family and friends we have not seen in a while. We met with the ENT the next week, and Mason will be getting ear tubes on the 20th. Please say a prayer for him that everything goes smooth and these help! We then spent Labor Day weekend at Smith Mountain Lake. Grandma rented a house for the weekend, and it was GREAT. Mason and Olivia had a great time playing in the water and fishing. I know we are ready for some cooler weather so Mason can get out and play without getting too hot!

First Haircut

Mason got his first haircut! There wasn't much to cut, but he did GREAT and looks MUCH better!

We went on a Road TRIP!!

Well, we hit the road last weekend. We took Mason to GA for my cousin Jeffrey and his new wife Kelseys wedding. Mason traveled GREAT! We stayed in a hotel the first night we stopped that was close to an airport, and Mason fell in LOVE with airplanes. We sat out and watched plane after plane land. We then headed to GA and took Mason to the Aquarium and Coke factory. We had a PACKED weekend, but it was fun. Mason also is learning to brush his teeth, and though he use to fight me on it, now that I left him do it by himself, he is a fan. He also REALLY likes to dance lately, and must have learned how to jump at school, cause he keeps saying he is jumping. Every day we say how blessed we are to have such a great kid, and just when we think he cannot get any more fun, he does!!!!!!!!!! :)
