{Mason spelling his name}

A few weeks ago Mason learned to spell his name. 

And? I caught it on video :)

 A boy and his toys!

{Bluebonnets...it's a Texas thing y'all}

I just realized I never posted our yearly bluebonnet pictures!!!

The bluebonnets actually came out a week or two early this year.

They were so beautiful and plentiful by Mason's school so I snapped a few pictures when I picked him up one day. Only thing? He was not going without his blanket! 

If that's the only stipulation, then so be it..

So this year we have bluebonnet pictures with Mason's favorite blanket :)

{Snake hunters}

It's that time of year...
Snake season.
Eeekkkk
The thought alone makes me cringe.

Last night {4/24/12} Daddy and Mason went "snake hunting".
Say what?
Was Mason the least bit afraid?
Not a single ounce.
This boy has no fear, I tell ya.
And that?
Terrifies me.

Also, Everyday when we get home Mason jumps out of the car and runs straight for his little playground.
I keep telling him to wait so that Mama can make sure there are no snakes first...
But does that stop him? No?

Then again I'm not sure what I'd do if I saw one...
Probably scream, run in the house, lock us both in, jump on the couch {cuz that will save us, right??} and scream some more until Daddy gets home!

{Wordless Wednesday}

This boy?

Is so daggum silly.

And I love it!

{The really late Easter post}

Easter has come and gone and I am really late at posting this, but better late than never. Right? Right!

Our Easter morning was nice - just the three of us. Nate gave Mason a bath and I set up all of his "Easter Bunny" gifts. We dressed him in his bedroom {so that he'd be ready for pictures} and then let him run into the living room to find the goods. He was extremely excited.

That afternoon was nothing short of chaotic...but when that chaos is delivered in the form of 25 family members under 1 roof...that's a chaos I welcome with open arms.

14 of the 25 live in Paris, TX and we do not see them nearly enough. As crazy it may get with that many and 9 of them being kids under the age of  7 {6 under the age of 2} I love being around them all.

We had a nice lunch and then hid hundreds of eggs, mostly plastic, for the kids.

Mason had more fun picking up things and throwing them.

He's getting quite an arm on him, too.

Don't worry...he still ended up with a bucket full thanks to Mom and Dad!

All of the kids had entirely too many eggs and candy.

That evening we had dinner and Easter at Nate's parents. It started storming, so we didn't have an egg hunt that night. Mason still got lots of goodies, though!

Now for the tons of pictures.

Another great holiday under wraps!
