Mason's Thanksgiving Performance




Today was Mason's Thanksgiving church program at his preschool. They sang "123 Turkey's" and "God Our Father". He was so cute up there singing with his class. The first few minutes he was searching for Clay and I but once he saw us he really hammed it up. He even clapped and cheered for himself after his was finished.

Mason's 1st trip tp Sea World






We met the Hage family at Sea World today. Mason was so adventuresome...he actually rode a roller coaster. Ashton and Mason really enjoyed being together. Clay helped them pet the stingrays. While we were driving home we asked Mason what he liked the best and without hesitation he yelled "The Sharks!!!" We watched several shows (Shamu, Dolphins and Sea Lions) and Mason thought they were all pretty cool. Lyla Grace was a trooper (as always)!!! She never really cried the entire time and took 2 pretty decent naps. The weather was beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better day!!

Thomas the Train comes to town




Twice a year Thomas the Train comes to Mt. Dora. As an early birthday present we decided to take Mason to see what all the hype was about. The train ride is about 30 minutes. We almost missed the 10 am train and as we were running through the parking lot Mason sees a forklift. We were climbing up the stairs of a really cool train and Mason is crying because he wants to drive the forklift. As we were trying to find a seat I remembered that as we were driving to Mt. Dora Mason had mentioned he had to go potty. Well in all of the chaos I forgot to take him to the bathroom. I suddenly started to panic because the train was about to leave and I have a 2 year old that needs to pee. Luckily there was a bathroom on the train and Mason thought it was really cool.
The weather was beautiful and all of the windows were open and Mason was able to hang his head out of the window as the train was going down the tracks (don't worry...it was going very slow). After we rode on the train we walked around the gift shop and bought Mason one of the Thomas track sets. Needless to say he has slept with Thomas the past 2 nights. It was a great day!!!

Rubber Ducky You're the One


Mason and Lyla Grace took their first bath together tonight. Mason was so sweet...he kept trying to give her a toy to play with. She would take the toy and smile at him. It was really fun to watch them interact with eachother...what a blessing!!

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful daddy. He comes home for lunch everyday to spend time with us. Mason talks about his daddy coming home for lunch as soon as Clay leaves each morning. We LOVE you daddy!!!!

Jazz Fest











We ventured out to the College Park Jazz Fest with The Armstrong's. It was so fun to see Mason interact with the twins. It was also a great time to hang out with Heidi and Scott and listen to music.
