Never Long Enough

The weekends are never long enough, especially when it comes to spending time with my two boys!  We had a jam-packed weekend, but it was such a blast.  Saturday we took Mason to the Children's Museum of Houston.  Nick had bought a two for one Groupon, and then when we got there the guy at the register said he another one leftover, so all three of us went for less than $10, score!

My handsome construction worker!

Doing a little grocery shopping.

He loved picking things to put in his basket!  He was so mad when we made him leave.

Just like his momma, he put like 5 cucumbers in his basket!

I was trying to show him the cow's utters...

but he decided to just crawl under the cow instead!

The Tot Spot was amazing at the museum.  Mason loved that he had free reign to go wherever and touch anything he wanted.

Legos with Daddy!

After the museum, we headed over to Herman Park for a picnic.  The weather was gorgeous, and I love our little family of three!

How can you not love that face!?

My boys!

First push pop, he wasn't too impressed!  He was done after about 3 licks that we forced him to take.

We had the perfect day!  Once we got home, we all took a nap and then headed to the Dynamo game.  The couple that sits next to us at the games have a little boy 3 months younger than Mason, and they love to stare at each other, share toys, and play.  This game was the cutest because they were giving high fives to one another and talking away.  I wish I had gotten pictures, but there was too much going on.

Sunday we went to church with my parents, hung out at their house, and then had a great evening at home! I am so excited that the weather is getting cooler here, and we will be doing all sorts of fun fall activities.  October is going to be such a busy month for us with Scarecrow Festival, Dynamo games, and Chicago!  I love fall!

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder...

Well, at least I hope it does!  I took an unintentional blog hiatus because I wanted to enjoy every bit of summer I had left with my little man!  He just amazes me daily, and I wanted to really take the time to slow down and make memories with my sweet baby boy (I still refuse to call him a toddler).  Then, school started again which meant I had to go back to work.  Getting back into the swing of things took some time so that prolonged the break.  However, when I saw so many others coming back from their own blog breaks I decided it was time I came back too!

Here is just a brief re-cap of the past couple months:

• Mason is now 15 months old...where did the time go?!  He just went to the Dr. and he is 24 1/2 lbs.(60%)  and 33"(90%).  My little man has gotten so tall!  He has learned so much and is doing so many things that it really blows my mind!

He put on Daddy's shoes and stomped around in them!

Hiding in a corner reading...makes his English teacher momma ecstatic! 

He was playing in the tupperware cabinet, and this is how he comes out of the kitchen.  I love it!

Helping Momma get ready for school.



How adorable are these big boy P.J.'s!?  A co-worker gave them to us, and I just love them!



• We spent a lot of time outside. This kid LOVES being outside and screams hysterically when we bring him in!

I have the greatest husband ever!  He takes care of me and Mason, and we couldn't ask for anything more.

We had a dinner and movie date at home while our little man was sleeping.  It was fantastic!

He sent my back to school flowers!
