Weeks 14 and 15

We have been busy lately. It is really nice to have Matt home on Fridays even though his paycheck is smaller. We get so much more done in three days. We recently re-did our laundry room with new paint, more storage and a new floor. We have been outside a lot hiking and walking the dogs. It has been in the 70's. We pulled out summer clothes and flip-flops but as my fellow Coloradans know how fast our weather can change. This week we are expecting snow and 39 degree weather. We don't put away winter clothing until June and even then it is nearby for camping trips.

This coming weekend Matt is going to Phoenix to visit his brother Nick and watch some spring training games. When Matt asked me if he could go I was so tickled that he would have the chance. (1)I love Nick and I know how much they miss each other (even if they don't say it) and I was glad they would have some one-on-one time to spend together (2.) He deserves this. He is such a hard worker at the office and home. It always seems like a few days away refreshes your soul and thus makes you better to your family.

I am pretty confident I could handle Mason on my own for the weekend but what's the point when your family lives near. So we are off to Grandma and Grandpa's for a mountain retreat. So in a sense I am getting a little vacation as well. If you know my mom and dad you would understand that they are the type who love to help out. I really love going home. Plus Keegan is turning 3 and I am in charge of the cupcakes and cookies:)

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks.

Grandma with her two Grandsons....a

third is on the way. My brother and sister-in-law are due in the middle of July and recently found out they are having another boy. We are so excited to have another baby. I can just see these three boys as they get older...uh oh T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!! I also think grandma is going to need another arm because they all love to be held by her.

Mason's favorite toy is pluto. Mason and Keegan shared nicely but I think Keegan wanted to borrow him. Later that night Keegan told me he was a dog and his name was Pluto and I could only call him that. He is to much fun these days.

My mom got Mason some new jammies, they are 6-12 months and they fit quite well.

Mason's eyes have turned even lighter blue and he has the longest eyelashes (like his dad). Someday a lucky girl is going to love looking into those baby blues.

His Saint Paddy's day digs. The turtle pants worked quite well for this hokey get-up.



I took this video a few days ago. He cracks me up. He is at the stage where everything must be tasted and than dropped. I apologize for my mommy banter and again all the clutter on my counter. It gets picked up every few days but I am learning my clean freak ways have to take back seat these days.

Week 13: Is it March or May? and baby Yoda

We have had record high temperatures this week. Yesterday it was 77 degrees here and usually this time of year it is in the 40/50's. So we have been taking a lot more walks with the doggies. The only downside to this beautiful weather is we NEED the moisture. Fire danger is high and that is scary.

Today we took a nice long walk and Mason faced forward in the pack for the first time. He is getting so big, actually he is 16.5 lbs!!! I think he is ready to chow down on some solid food but we will wait a few more months for now he is getting his fill of breast milk.

My mom and dad took Mason on Saturday evening so we could attend a friends 30th birthday (we are entering that stage). Matt and I drove up later that night, I am not ready to leave him quite yet even though they would be the people I would do so if need be (Matt liked that idea too). Anyways, he had a blast there. My mom and dad are the best and they are even better grandparents.

Grandpa hanging out with our furry boys and our baby boy. That boppy looks great on you dad, just in time to nurse Mason:)

He loves to stare at grandpa, can't figure out that mustache or all the kisses.

Love those bright colors and my grandparents!

So Matt decided our son looks like Yoda, maybe we have a Halloween costume picked out?
