Party Time!!

So we went to Pump It Up, Jr. the other day for Bryce and MaKenna's birthday party. It's been about a year since we last went there to play and this time Mason was really into it!! He was just excited to go to any party but when he realized that HE was gonna get to play too, he became super-excited! Anyways, just a few pics to share...didn't take any of the actual party (just picture lots of Barbies and Cars). We talked about having Mason's party there this year too...but it's like $200 and knowing me I'd still buy all the decorations, plates, cake, etc. even though they provide it for us! So I think it'd be cheaper to have it at the house again this year, especially since it'll just be familiy...but he's happy about everyone coming over to his "big" house anyways!
So here's Mason going down the big slide for the first time...
him and Haleigh posing for me...
and driving his Flintstone's car - this is all he played with the last time we came :)

Cash came to play!

Just a few pics...Cash was in town and came over to play with Mason. Of course Mason get's CRAZY because we had company and was just constantly asking Cash "you wanna pway wif me?" It's so funny to see him get attention! Of course Cash does whatever he says...and if you know Cash at all, then you know they had FUN!! Mason cried when Cash left and was still talking about him coming to play for the next week. And the good news is that Cash is moving back!! Hopefully he'll decide to live closer to Gladewater now...that way Mason will have a buddy to play with :) Anyways...here's just a few pics of them reading books together. They were running around too much to get any action shots, so I had to settle for these. And I had to throw in Starbucks because she's so darn cute when she looks at you like that :)

Playin' Catch Up!!

Wow! It's been a while since I've posted, things have just been so busy. We've moved into our new house and sold the old one...we've been to Destin and back...and I've been back in school for 3 weeks now! I'll get to the house later, I'll start with vacation.

The whole family went to Destin Aug.8th-15th. It's a family tradition and we've gone every year since I was like 5 years old- well, we didn't go last year due to my change of career! But we've always stayed in the same place until our last trip...our family had gotten to big and now we needed a bigger condo. We now have a 3 bedroom (2 story) spot we really like...and all 9 of us stayed together (Mom, Dad, Mase & his girlfriend Candace, Collin, Kaleb and us 3). I was dreading the trip due to the three boys getting together for an extended length of time...I even brought the Valium, but didn't have to take even one! The boys were EXCELLENT!! We just went to the beach and pool all day long and hung out in the room at night. Of course, I did go to the outlet mall 3 nights!! Anyways...here's some pics of the beach and the fun we had!!


By the 3rd day Mason had shown a reaction to the sunscreen and was getting a rash...so Mom and I took him to the Gulfarium instead of spending the day ou on the beach. We had fun but it was SO hot that his rash was alot worse...but he still had fun. After some cortisone and the new sunscreen he was fine, he wasn't going to let an itchy rash keep him from the water!


The last night just the 3 of us went out for our on special "family-time". We went to Joe's Crab Shack and Mason loved it! We weren't really going for the food because we knew there were better places, but we thought he would like the excitement that came with Joe's. We were right...he loved the decor and the music! He even got up and danced the YMCA :)


So there's just a few pics of Destin...there's more on Facebook...
We had a great time and Mason is still talking about it now! He's already talking about going back!
