PaPa and Partner

This summer we went four-wheelin in CO. This is one of my favorite pics from the trip. Mason thought he was all that and drove the Razr while pimpin in MaMas shades. Thanks PaPa!

My Babies Go To School- WAHHHHHHHHHH!

Masons first day! Luke was excited Mason was coming with him!



Mason isn't quite sure what is going on.
Lukes first day of school.


precious...don't the haircuts look nice. Sally (aka mommy) bought some shears and did it herself! Sorry boys, its a disease.


Luke is going to preschool T, W, Th, this year and Mason is going only on W mornings. I am VERY hesitant to send my baby Mason because he JUST turned 2. He isn't talking much so "they" think being around more kids and other people will help his talking, or lack there of. Last Tuesday was Lukes last, first day of preschool. I cried the week before about all of this, a lot. I had last Wednesday morning to myself and stopped crying. It was simply amazing how much I got done without ANY interuptions. I was quite worried about my Mason but he did fine.

A little behind

I have been a bit busy lately-starting my own business. Check it out- www.thesassycloset.com Needless to say I am behind in my pics and stories and to be quite honest, I will never truly catch up. This is a picture of my grandparents from about a month ago when we had the Mason Family Reunion in Colorado. We had so much fun and this with my bro and I's monkeys. I will slowly but surely post more pics from our fun filled summer! By the way my Grandfather, Pops, turned 90 last year and my Grandmother, Mamaw, is 88. Wow...

Nebraskaland

The boys went to Nebraska in June to visit MeMe and Go while Ben and I had a "romantic" weekend away at a wedding in Indiana. Remember that "romantic" "puking" weekend? Well, the boys absolutely had a blast in Nebraska doing all sorts of fun things. MeMe and GO said they were VERY well behaved! So, what am I doing wrong? Naaa, my boys are well behaved for the most part, well for today, well for this hour and this minute. Thats because Luke is watching Scooby Doo and Mason is asleep. We have lots to catch up on with the Karel Bros. Arriving at the Big O running to MeMe.

Had some sand delivered to play with- another excuse for MeMe to do MORE laundry

Went to the Childrens Museum in Lincoln. Go finally took the sticker off his DVD player in his car for the boys to watch a show on the way-it only took him what...4 years?

Getting ready to give to MeMe as a "surprise!"

Go and Luke built a birdhouse and painted it.
Went fishing and caught a "6 foot fish." This fish story keeps getting better and better!
They did catch about 15 fish but kepts one, cleaned it, and ate it.

Thanks MeMe and GO for your help and love for our boys! They had so much fun! Hope you are still resting!
