Gingerbread Fun!!!

We had The Yeip's and Olsen's over and we made gingerbread houses!  It was so much fun and everyone's house turned out great!!

This one is Bryce's and mine!! We made the gingerbread and Bryce built the house.  I tried to help but i couldn't figure it out, i was having a really hard time!! I built the chimney and that was it, i let him finish building and I decorated and made the trees!!

Isn't my chimney great?

Steve and Ronelle's

Eric and Lindee's

They both made theirs out of graham crackers and they both turned out great! (note to self: make your next house out of graham crackers!)

 Have a holly jolly Christmas!!

4 Months

I can hardly believe that Mason is already 4 months old, it has gone by so fast!! He had is 4 month check today with all those fun shots of course. Mason is such a trouper and only cried for a couple minutes. but it was such a sad cry that always makes me feel so bad, especially when he gives me a pleading look asking me to make it stop. I think I'm gonna start sending Bryce to those appointments by himself! The Dr. said you would never be able to tell Mason was Pre-mature by looking at him, he is such a big boy now, and he is getting so strong! Here are his stats:

Height- 24 1/2" 33%

Weight- 14.5 lbs  37%

Now these are based on a regular full term 4 mon. old baby but for babies his age born pre-mature he is 71% in height and 75% in weight.

We also found out that Mason qualifies for the RSV shots thru our insurance, so that means they will pay for him to get the shots!! Its one shot a month for 4 months and each shot costs $1000!! We are so blessed to be able to qualify.  They told us while we were in the hospital that we can try but not to get our hopes up because insurance companies are really strict for which babies will qualify and they have to be born 34 wks or earlier. Mason was born at 34 wks and 2 days so they weren't sure if he would qualify but he did and it is such a stress reliever, I am an overly paranoid mom and this helps set my mind at ease. But thats ok to be paranoid for your first baby right?

Mason rolls over so fast now you cant take your eyes off him or you'll miss it!

Look at his cute fat rolls, it took a long time for him to get those!

Mason's favorite things in life besides his Mom and Dad are getting his bum changed and taking baths!! What is it about boys loving to be naked? I don't get it! haha!

Amazing Thanksgiving Day!

Wow look how sweet my new little niece is!! Summer and Thad just had their first baby Avalee Mae Stott on Thanksgiving. So much to be thankful for! They are still in Hawaii so we don't get to meet her until Dec. 17th and i cant wait!!

Hooray! Something Mason loves!!

I love this kid more than anything and i love how much he loves me but sometimes i just need to put him down!! Masons motto in life is hold me now and forever! He hates tummy time and his swing, and he is starting to get to the point where other people cant hold him even Bryce! Isn't 3 months a little early for that?  Any way my house looks like a Christmas bomb went off!  Yes i know its early but i am so excited for Christmas i just couldn't wait! Little did i know that it would take 5 days to put up the small amount of decorations that i own! Don't worry I'll wait until after Thanksgiving to put up the tree. (Bryce's doing not mine!)

I found this bouncer yesterday and Mason absolutely loves it!  And now i have time to actually clean and decorate. Its a win win situation we are both so happy!! :)

Did you know that Bryce is crafty? Look at this awesome hat that Bryce made for Mason. Isn't it so cute? It only took Bryce a couple hours to make. Im so proud of him i could never do that!!

Jade got to stay at my parents for a week while Dust went to his family golf tournament in St. George it was so fun and they got to meet Mason for the first time! Jade was able to see mason while he was in the hospital but for only about 20 minutes. Tate was so cute and always remembered baby Mason in his prayers! I cant wait until they live closer to home so we can play together more!

Can you believe that Paisley isn't quite a month older than Mason?! She is so cute and such a good baby.  she just learned how to spit and it was her favorite thing to do while she was here!

Jade and my mom made these and they are the best caramel apples i have ever had!! I kinda wish i never had one because i have been craving them so we made some more the other night with the Yeips! Haha

My friend Bri took these pictures after our Halloween party at about 10pm!!  She did such a good job and Mason was being so cute!!

Look at him he already knows how to pose for the camera!! Oh i Love being a mom!!!

Monkey's first Halloween!!!

Davy Jones Locker!!

We had a bunch of friends over for a murder mystery dinner party! it was so much fun and everyone did
