Our Morning!

This is what we woke up to this morning. I swear I thought it was almost MARCH!!!!!!!

CRAZY weather!!!!!!!

BIG BABY NEWS!!!!!!!

I think the balloon says it all!

I wanted to put a picture of the ultra sound but I'm not the most scanner savy! I'll have to ask and get on here later. It's really funny because if you have ever seen an ultra sound--even if you haven't it's totally easy to tell that it is DEFINETLY a boy! Mason was really excited to tell people--well actually I think he was more excited about the balloon but what can ya say!--He's One!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!

A little info on our lives

Just thought I'd put in a little update of what's been going on around here.

BRYAN:

He didn't pass all the exams for the border patrol but can take them again in 3 months. The good part is that he did well on the logic and artificial language tests and they count for the most points! The 3rd and last test was very weird and something he can't study for since it's kind of like a self evaluation--so he's talked to some agents and got some tips and is going to study more and then in 3 months try again. He was very, very close--only missing the cut off by about 2 points. But he wasn't the only one--out of 200 people only 77 showed up and only 20 people passed! It's weird! Well wish him luck in May!!!!! WE LOVE YOU BRYAN!!!!!!!

Some good news for him is that he's either #1 or #2 (his manager wouldn't say which) retail seller in his store and has helped their store become the #1 seller over all in the whole NAPA company!

MASON:

He's enjoying being Mason! He's just being his usual self with maybe a few extra bruises! He's still trying to get this walking thing down! :) Well actually he's trying to get this whole "don't walk into stuff" thing down! He just can't help but try to run! His head is just a little to big and takes over when he takes off! I swear he goes to bed and also wakes up with new bruises everyday!

WE LOVE YOU MASON!!!!!!!

Nothing really is new with me. I just take care of the other two and make sure they both get fed and are laughing! That's my life--the Mom/Wife! Life is good. Baby is good. We're thinking of the name Nathanial but can't seem to settle on a middle name but we've still got 18 weeks to figure it out! Wow-18 weeks! That seems long but it's not really! And with the way things are always moving and changing around here it'll go by even faster! CRAZINESS!!!!

WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!

Oh Heaven help us!!!!!!!!

No pictures today but I'll tell you what's been going on the past couple of days. Mason has offically hit his "terrable two's"! I know it seems early but actually I've been told that they can start as early as 15 months! WELL LET ME TELL YOU!!!!!! THEY HAVE STARTED!!!!!!!! He has such the little attitude and has decided to let everyone know that HE IS THE BOSS! At least he tries to be. He's also getting to be quite an expert on tantrums! It's been quite an adventure the past little while but we're getting through it! He definetly has his own opinion and he is not afraid to share it. We just now have to teach him WHEN to share it and HOW to share it. The hardest thing to get through is his one tract mind. It is so hard to distract him from the wrong things! But we love him all the same!

All I have to say is that

HE'S LUCKY HE'S CUTE!!!!!

WE LOVE YOU MASON!!!

Happy Birthday Chelsey!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Dan!

Today is Uncle Dan's 34th birthday!!! YEAH!

Do you like the smoke in the picture?! :)
As much of the family that could gathered last Sunday for Dan's birthday! It was really fun to get together and spend time visiting and playing with the kids. There was 8 kids there (including Dan's girlfriend's girl) and 7 adults so it was a pretty busy household! But that's nothing new in the Howarth family! :) Mason loved playing with his cousins and just being around people, especially people he knows. He always loves going over to Grandma and Grandpa Howarth's home because it's a new set of faces! :) Sometimes I think he gets tired of seeing his Mommy everyday! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next Iron Chef!!!!

Our little cook!!!

Last Thursday (sorry I'm behind) Mason was waiting to take a bath and he started playing with his toys. Well needless to say this is what I came out to find. He loves to be in the kitchen when people are cooking and loves to watch us all. So he had to do some "cooking" himself!
Sorry the picture is bad--he was wearing all white and I didn't realize my flash kept going off until it was too late. :(
Oh and yes--that is his "construction" hat! :)

A beautiful day--FINALLY!!!!!!

"Helping" and Playing outside!!!

Yeah we had a beautiful day today! It was about time 'cause I was going nuts and so was Mason. He would stand up next to the window and look outside for like ever at least everyday. It's become a morning routine after breakfast to go pull the blinds up enough for him to look out. It's either that or he tries to move them out of his way whether they're open or shut. To make it better it was Bryan's day off and Mason loved it. We washed the car (well watched Daddy) and watched, and freaked out as Bryan mowed the lawn. But after the lawn was mowed--out came the golf balls!! I think the pictures say it all!
What do you think? I think he'll be a big contender in the next "Howarth Family Reunion Golf Tournament"!!!!! Hey--Tiger started when he was 2--we're just a little early! :)

And the results are in!!!!!!

Mason had an allergy test done last Friday and the doctor finally called with the results! The numbers on his animal and soy bean test were above the negative (which makes them positive) mark but the doctor said that they were not high enough to cause attacks or even be a factor in why he's got colds all the time. Unfortunately they could develop and become more of an issue as he gets older but for now they are not the problem so that's GREAT! So for now we're good!! YEAH!!!
