February Happenings

February is over and I can't believe it's already March.  Here is a few things we had been up to in the month of February. 

1.  We started February off by celebrating Ry's birthday.  Meg planned a little birthday party for Ry at Bajios in the Riverwoods.  Everyone was able to attend, except Casey and Mason.  Mason was not feeling well and we thought it best for him to stay home that night.  So, Casey watched Mason at home while I went to Ry's party.  At the birthday party, Ry and Meg announced that they are having a baby BOY!  That's 4 baby boys in my family in less then 6 months.  We are so excited for all these baby boy cousins to be great friends. 

2.  Mason found a new toy.  He loved sitting in his laundry hamper while Casey pulled him around the kitchen. 

3.  I took Mason to Toys R Us where he loved riding in their little display cars.  Mason was so sad when it was time to leave.  It seems to be the simple things that makes our little Mason so happy. 

4.  Our neighbors across the street are redoing their backyard.  One day they had a dump truck and a tractor that was hauling dirt to the back of the dump truck.  Mason could of sat by the window all day watching the tractor dump the dirt. 

5.  Amy, Lin, and I took the kids to the park.  We went to McDonald's for lunch then took it to the park and ate it then let the kids play around.  Mason had so much fun swinging and going down the slides, but his favorite seemed to be climbing up and down the stairs to the different slides. 

6.  Mason got Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease this past month.  It seems like our little guy was sick most of the month of February.  He was one miserable little guy for a couple of days, we are so glad he is feeling better. 

7.  After Mason started feeling better, we took him to the PBR to ride the carousel.  He showed absolutely no emotion while riding it, but as soon as it was time to get off he walked right back onto the carousal and wanted to ride it again. 

8.  We've had fun listening to and making our little Mason laugh. 

9.  I did some major cleaning this past month to get ready for baby #2 to come.  I washed Mason's car seat.  He loved sitting in it in the house.  I also threw away all Mason's binkies that he had when he was just a newborn baby.  It was a little sad, but probably about time. 

10.  I took Mason down to the shop to eat lunch.  Mason loved riding the 4-wheeler with grandpa.  Mason also loved helping grandpa run some of the machines. 

11. Casey brought us home donuts one morning after he got done at the gym.  Mason loved his chocolate covered donut. 

We had such a great February.  We are looking forward to March and warmer weather.
