Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!

A couple of weekends ago Mimi decided Mason was Ready to go to the zoo. So we loaded up and headed down to Gladis Porter Zoo in Brownsville. Mason loved seeing all the animals while he rode along in his wagon. As for Mimi, Rusty, and I well lets just say we put in our workout for the day. Fun was definitely had by all!

MASON'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!!

Mason's Birthday Week  :)
Mason turned 1 July 18th! Man oh man where has the time gone? We feel like it was just yesterday Daddy was hyperventilating and I was as big as a house the day before you arrived. You are such a big boy now but will always be our little baby. You crawl and cruise everywhere and you love anything with wheels. Your taking your time to start walking but we don't mind. We know it will be any day now. You love to ride on "go go's" which is the gator at Mimi and Grandpa's or the golf cart at the beach. Even right before bed you are asking to ride the Go go! It's so cute. You are getting a mind of your own and you let us have a piece of it when we make you mad, only it is in some foreign language and we don't know what your saying. We have been going to the beach every weekend and we never imagined that you would love it as much as you do. You are the most happiest when we are down there either in the pool or on the sand. You explore and watch everything needing to know what they are and how they work. You now say about 10 words: mama, dada, Mimi, Grandpa, GO GO, night night, no, papa, and cold are some I can think of right now. You Aunt Kelly, Uncle Adam, Chase, and Kylie were in town for a special visit just for you. We went to the beach, Schlitterban, and hung out at Mimi and Grandpa's house where your party was a hit! Many wonderful family members and friends came out to wish you Happy Birthday and visit. You had a BLAST! We are so blessed to have you as our son.

Happy Forth of July!

It's been a while
 Rusty, Mason and I headed to the beach for a 3 day weekend. We went to the beach, played in the water, Mason ate plenty of sand, and got to play with Rilee, Alyssa, and Clay! He had a blast. I Can't belive he will be one soon! This age of learning and exploring is so awesome to be a part of.

Happy Easter!

For Mason's First Easter we had and early party Saturday at Aunt Amanda's. It was the place to be and even  Mimi and Grandpa made it. Mason Had a blast watching all the kids running around playing. I can tell he can't wait to get out there with them. Mason got a few eggs himself and sweet little nest packed with goodies. Rusty and I feel so blessed to be spending Easter as A family with our sweet boy. God is Great!
