It's a Boy!!

We found out that we are going to have another little boy!! We are so excited and CAN'T wait to meet him. We found out a week ago and Bryce will still come to me at least once a day and become randomly giddy with a huge smile on his face and say, "We're having another boy!" It's so cute how excited he is. Bryce says if he could have it his way we would have all boys, but i know he would be just as excited if we we're having a girl!

My original due date, based off my cycle is January 17th but at the ultrasound the tech informed us that we are a week ahead of that! So now our due date is on our 5 year anniversary, January 11th! I guess thats if I make it 40 weeks which the doctors are betting against that. Maybe 37 or 38 at the most. Right now the best we can do to make sure that this little boy will stay in longer than Mason did, is to be on progesterone shots. My doctor told me that they aren't guaranteed to make me go full term but they are proven to prevent pre-term labor at least couple weeks longer than the pre-term labor before. I'm not exactly sure how it works but i have to give myself a shot once a week, which I started at 16 weeks, with a needle that is 2 INCHES long! Right in my upper thigh on my backside, aka butt! I've never had a problem with needles or shots in the past, but I've also never had to give myself a shot before! Bryce has always become so sick at the sight of needles, to the point that he has to leave the room. (when i got my epidural i didn't see him for awhile actually!) So I knew from the beginning that i would be on my own. For the first fews weeks I just couldn't bring myself to do it and i had to go in weekly to my Docs office to have a nurse do it for me. I have since grown up a little and became much braver and am proud to say that for the last 2 weeks I have been able to do it all by myself! It really isn't as bad as i made it out to be in my mind! haha

The Tech kept laughing while trying to take measurements and when we asked what was so funny he said that our little boy isn't afraid to show his stuff, the tech would try to take measurements other areas of the babies body and he said without looking for "it", "it" was was there! It was funny!

Mason is Two!

They weren't kidding when they told me Mason would grow up so fast! And now He is going to be a big brother! Baby Coy #2 is due January 17th! We find out in a few weeks whet we're having. We are so excited!

He loves to wear my shoes all around the house, it is so funny! Hopefully it's just a phase! ;)

We took Mason to the zoo again this year. Maybe we'll make it a tradition. It was a lot of fun and Mason had cotton candy for the first time, He's hooked!

The zoo has Dinosaurs all over, i thought Mason was going to love it, which he did until one of the raptors sprayed water out of its mouth at him. I wish i had a picture or video of it, Mason thought it was some kind of poison or something, he started screaming at the top of his lungs and tried wiping the water off frantically. Everyone around us were laughing. The rest of the time we were there whenever Mason saw another dinosaur he would try to make us turn around and go the other way, or just scream like when he saw Santa for the first time! Haha poor boy!

Mason had been asking for a bubble cake for weeks before his birthday! Every day "Bubble cake please Mommy?"

This is my new look, I'm Blonde! It took me a few days to get used to it but i love it!

It was so much fun to have most of Mason's cousins over to play on his special day!

Mason had so much fun blowing out his candles, he kept asking to do it again and again!

4 years!!

Bryce and I just had our FOUR YEAR anniversary yesterday! He really spoiled me this year and took me to the Roof for dinner and then we stayed at anniversary inn in Salt Lake. It was so much fun. It was the first time we've left Mason over night, it was really hard for me i kept wanting to call to check up on him!

I'm so grateful for Bryce and his hard work for our family. He is an amazing dad and a wonderful husband, I feel so blessed to have him in my life! He really has made all of my dreams come true!! I love you Bryce!

Santa

Lets just say Mason's not a big fan of santa, even though I have been warming him up to him for a couple of weeks and every time he sees a picture of santa he says "Ho ho ho"

Halloween and family pictures!

Happy Halloween! 

We went trick or treating with Masons cousins Tate and Paisley (Buzz and Cinderella) They were all so cute! We had so much fun.

 

 Mason's Hat, belt and boots were way to big for him and they kept falling off all night. Haha poor thing i don't think he liked his costume. But isn't he the cutest woody you've ever seen?!

 

 He's a stud in his suit!  

 I don't really like fall because that means winter is coming. But I love the colors and it really makes me appreciate it more.

I love my family more than words can explain. Bryce and Mason make me so happy i really can't imagine life without them!

Decor

I forgot to post the other projects I was working on for Halloween. 

First the candy corn pom poms.

and my scary trees

Deadly Ever After!

Murder Mystery parties are a lot of fun! I Loved all of the characters this year everyone did great with their costumes!!

  I was the Wicked Witch Bryce was Sherlock Holmes and i was going to make Mason one of my flying monkeys but decided not to last minute, so he was a skeleton. 

Mad Hatter and Alice were played by Kevin and Cali. Kevin won best costume!

Snow White was Bri. Such a pretty princess!

 John Silver and Robin Hood were Eric and Wade

 Ronelle was Rapunzel, Her Hair was great!!

 Katie and Paul were little red riding hood and Hamlet, Bryce jumped in every picture he could! 

Prince Charming was Steven, who tied with Bryce for best actor of the night!

 The Count was Chris

 Juliet was played by Holly

 I tried several times to get a good picture of these two boys but this was the best i could get!

It was such a fun night thanx everyone for coming this year and those that couldn't make it from last year we wish you were there!

Crafty me!

I am getting so excited for Halloween! I've already been making decorations!! Look how cute these lanterns turned out. I'm so proud of myself!!

Each of these cost under $2 to make and were easier than i thought it they would be, but after cutting each picture out by hand i really wish i had a cricut!

I'm going to post a couple more halloween projects i've been working on in a week or two that are pretty cute too.

I'm so sad that summer is coming to an end but I'm so excited to this holiday season to start!

My lil' toddler!

Mason can walk!! Actually he started walking at 12 1/2 months but now he is really cruising! When i look at him i don't see my little baby anymore, he's a toddler! It's so sad, but then again I'm so proud of him, and he is so proud of himself too, It's so cute. I love this little boy so much, I am so lucky to be his Mommy!

Mason turned 13 months on sept 5th.

He still weighs under 19 lbs.

Has cut his first 6 teeth in less than a month!

Mason is a little dancer, the other day Bryce went to find Mason who had wondered off and ended up in the nursery. Mason figured out how to turn the music on, on his swing and was dancing by himself in his room! haha its so cute when he dances!

He is the loudest, most out of control kid at church!

He is doing so well with sign language, and talking.

He loves going on bike rides every night with Mommy and Daddy!

Mason really loves life and is so happy!

Does life get better than this?

Mason got so many fun things! Thanx to everyone!

This last year has been the shortest year of my life i still cant even believe my little baby isn't so much of a baby anymore. Happy birthday my sweet little baby Mason we love you so much!

At 12 months Mason's Stats are.....

18 lbs 5 oz - 2%

29 1/2"- 42%

Wow they say he is so little, but he seems so big to me!

Mason can say: Momma, Dada, dog, (he also barks like a dog when we ask what does the doggy say? and moos for the cow) Nana, baoon (balloon, which is one of his favorite things in the world!) ball, hi and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law heard him say "all done" after they asked him if he was done with his cake. He also knows a few signs!

Mason loves giving hugs, The other day he was playing with a baby girl his same age in the park that we didn't know and he gave her 4 hugs! he is such a flirt its so cute.

He always waves hi and bye.

He gives high fives!

His first tooth was visible 3 days before he turned one, the 2nd one was close behind and i can tell he'll be getting a few more really soon. I guess thats what happens when you get your first tooth really late, they all want to come in at once!! Poor little guy!

Mason loves to walk with our help but is still really wobbly, i don't think he will be walking for a while!

He is a really good climber! He climbed all the way up my parents stairway the first time he tired, he can also go down the stairs. We stayed in a condo that had a bunk bed with the ladder and Mason Started to climb the ladder before i got scared and picked him up. He is really good at getting off of high things like my bed which is taller than him but he has figured out how to do it. Mason is so smart!

Mason Is getting better at sleeping but would still rather stay awake 24/7 if he could! Yesterday we were at my in-laws playing games. It was past Mason's bed time but he didn't want to sleep so i left him up, i knew he would fall right to sleep in the car for our long drive home. but he crawled into the living room and just fell over on to his side half under an arm chair and fell right to sleep! I felt so bad! but it was so cute!!

Mason isn't a picky eater, he will eat anything and everything but he doesn't eat very much as you might have noticed!

We are so lucky to be this little guys parents, I love him more than i can ever express!! I would recommend being a mom to anyone! In fact i don't know why we waited so long after we got married to have kids! =)

From 5 lbs 5 oz and being fed through a tube in his nose to......

18lbs 5 oz and full of life, laughter, and fun!!
