HAPPY BIRTHDAY MASON!!!!!!

Finally an update!!!

I know I've been slacking quite a bit on keeping things updated about the new baby but it's been tough with the scare of us maybe loosing it I haven't really wanted to take pictures of myself or get to attached. But now that I'm 20 weeks and they've figured out what it is and it's now starting to move around it is now impossible to not get attached and love this little bundle. So here are a few of the ultra sound pictures that we had done yesterday. I'll try and get someone to take a picture of me and post those next. 1-a picture of the bottom of his feet, 2-him telling us that he's a boy, 3-him trying to find his mouth to suck his thumb.

HERE COMES BOY #3!!!!!!!!

Birthday Boy!!!!!

Chloe came to PLAY!

Chloe came to our house yesterday afternoon! Needless to say Mason had a BLAST! He kept asking me everyday (starting with Monday) how many more naps he had to take before we could go pick her up from school. We had a lot of fun together. We colored, played soccer and went to Bellevue to east dinner and listen to some music! Mason did NOT want to say goodbye but, unfortunately, we have to share her with her other cousins. :(  We all look forward to seeing and playing with the whole family in just 5 short weeks at the reunion!

Tuesdays With G-Pa Howarth

Every Tuesday afternoon Grandpa Howarth comes over to play with the boys. They love every minute of it! On this particular occasion they decided that they wanted to color with him. Mason had to tell G-Pa exactly what color to color each of the trains that were going around the page. It was just to cute and fun to not take a picture of. I'm sure you'll all agree.

Utah

BITTER SWEET

This past weekend was such a bitter sweet time. Bryan, the boys and I went down to Utah to attend my Grandma Howarth's funeral. While it was great to see family that I only see one/two times a year it was sad to see them because of the loss of a family member. My Grandmother was a great wonderful woman. She was a great example of courage, strength and love. I'm glad that she is now able to walk and run and be with her sweetheart, my Grandfather who passed away two years ago. She will be greatly missed but I know that she is in a far better place and watching over me and my family. Enjoy the pictures there is more on my facebook page.

Imagination Movers!

My Mini Movers

Last Tuesday, March 1st Mason and Ethan got to go to their very first concert ever. It was to see and meet the Imagination Movers. Anyone who has watched our kids at anytime know, they are their favorite band. It's a show on Disney Junior and quite a cool little rock band. Anyone who doesn't know of them should check them out! It was a blast! The band members got down in the audience and let the kids play their guitars and listened to all their stories and gave lots of hugs and high fives. Afterwards we went "backstage" and got to listen to a little jam session. Mason ran up and got them all to sign his CD cover and we all got to take a picture with them. I forgot to download that one off their website before doing this blog so I'll have to post it later. It was a fun little get away, it was in Portland, OR, and it was a nice time to spend as a family. Hope you enjoy all the pictures. I put more on my facebook page.

A few hours before the show.
My little Mini Movers and their backstage passes.

Mason and his "scribble stick". It what Rich uses to draw ideas with in the TV show.

All the movers got right down in the audience. The boys got to give them all high fives!

This is Warehouse Mouse and Nina. The mouse is Mason's favorite. He gave Nina three hugs!

We got to go to the "after Party" and get our picture taken with them (to follow later when we get it)

The following video I thought was the best I got to take.

Playing Catch-up

This is my catch-up blog. I didn't realize that I was so far behind! Sorry! I must have only dreamt that I had updated this instead of actually doing it.--I'm so mental. Here are some pictures from the past month and a half. There are a lot. I couldn't decide which ones to keep and which ones to leave out. So there is a little bit of everything. I guess this is why I should really keep this more up to date. Oh well. That's the life of a mother with two little busy boys. Something has to give. Have fun with all the pictures!!!!! Lots of loves.

"You feed me...."

"So now I feed you"

"hmmm...I wonder" "Don't even think about it!"

Ha!! Got 'cha!!!

This is a picture from Mason's point of view (he got a hold of the camera)!
