Super Hero Party!

Last weekend we went to a super hero birthday party for one of Mason's buddies, Keaton. The kids had a blast playing in the bounce house and have ball fights. There was even a special visit from Batman. Mason was not sure about Batman! Carson on the other hand thought he was pretty cool. Thanks Thomas Family for such a fun party!

 Waiting for Batman...although Mason has no idea what is coming.

 This was about as close as he would get to him! And I had to be right there.

Carson even got to break a steel plate :)

Farm Show!

We were so excited to be able to take Mason to the Farm Show this year! Mason had so much fun. He had to sit on almost every tractor out there. We will have to devote more time for the show next year. If we saw half of it I would be surprised...the show is huge! Mason's favorite exhibit was of course John Deere.

Disney on Ice

At the beginning of the month we took the boys to see Disney on Ice. We went with Mason's buddy Ryan and his family. Mason absolutely loved the show! I could not believe that he sat through the entire show with his hands in his lap. It was a great family night!

Gardening!

We have been working hard getting the backyard ready for spring! We put bark down in the backyard and Papa made the boys a garden box. They love playing outside and we are looking forward to planting some vegetables.

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's a BOY!

Baby # 3 is another boy! We are excited to have a house full of boys. I am sure it will be crazy but super fun. Mason is very excited to have another brother. He was not really into the idea of a little sister :) We look forward to the arrival of Jaxson Thomas June 16th (or sooner).

Snow Trip 2010

Yesterday we took the boys to the snow for the 1st time! Mason was so excited to go to the snow and even more excited that his cousins were going as well. We went to Grants Grove and played in the play area. Mason had so much fun playing and sledding down a small hill. The kids all had sleds but Mason preferred to go down on his bottom. I really had no idea how much fun Mason would have! Carson was really not interested in the snow. The kids played for about an hour and a half and then we took a break for some lunch. We planned on playing some more but it was starting to rain and we knew a storm was coming. We do not have snow chains so we decided to head home. We will definitely be going back again before winter is over!

 Poor Carson could barely move!

 Sledding down the hill!

 This was Mason's reaction every time!

 Ready...set...go...
