18 Weeks Pregnant

I'm now 18 weeks pregnant and showing enough to do a "photo shoot." I think I only have two or three pregnancy pictures from Mason (5, 6, and 9 months). Not wanting to let time slip away from me, I did a photo shoot at work today with Karen and AnnMarie. So here I am in all my glory at 4 1/2 months with baby #2! Hope belly shots don't gross anyone out!

I just need some belly room!

A Relaxing Weekend

Mason was all about his sleeping bag this weekend.

Going to the potty while reading a book,

and having a snack! What can I say,

he's a boy!

kiss from his cousin.

So happy!

Two Weeks and Counting!

Finally! We will close on our new house at the end of this week and get the keys. We are so grateful that my grandma has opened her home to us and even let us extend our stay, but we are definitely ready to have our own space again, and I'm sure she is too! After getting the keys, we will go in and clean and do some painting that first week. We are going to actually move in March 7th & 8th. We are so excited and cannot wait to start this new chapter in our lives. Our first home!

Potty Training

This adventure is well overdue! Mason will be three in April and potty training is our focus right now. We have dabbled with it off and on, but with busy schedules I've just been putting it off. Plus Mason has had NO interest in it, which makes training alot harder. I knew he was ready, so I decided that this weekend it would be our focus. Well, I'm happy to report that Mason has done extremely well so far today. He has gone pee pee on the potty four times and only had one accident! I am so proud of my little boy! He is getting to be such a BIG BOY!

Happy 30th Birthday AnnMarie!

Tonight my coworkers and I went to dinner to celebrate our dear friend AnnMarie's 30th Birthday. These girls are some of my best friends. I am blessed to work with such an amazing group of girls! These gals make work fun everyday and we share so many laughs together. We had so much fun tonight spending time together. AnnMarie, I hope you enjoyed yourself this evening! You were with close friends, ate great food, and opened some amazing gifts ... especially the purse!

There is also a pregnancy craze going around our office! It must be in the water!? Pictured below, Deborah (is 7 months, she's holding Leah), Vanessa (is 4 1/2 months), Me (I'm 4 months), and Sara (Not Pictured, is 5 1/2 months). Crazy!

Mason's First Basketball Game

Last night my mom and I took Mason up to the school to watch Uncle Chad referee a basketball game for the children's league. Mason was so excited all day to go to the game and would not stop talking about it! We met Aunt Teri and Uncle Tony who were going up to watch the game too. Mason ran around the court tossing the ball to Uncle Chad before the game started. Then it was time for the game to start ... oh no! Mason wanted to play ball with the kids! He cried saying "my turn!" Eventually he understood we had to sit and watch the kids play. He clapped when they scored and yelled "what's that noise?", everytime the buzzer would go off at the end of a quarter. At halftime he got to go out on the court again and play with Uncle Chad. It was a fun night and we will be taking Mason back again soon. I also got to see some old classmates from High School whose kids were playing in the games, so that was fun too!
