The Blizzard of 09.......

Or I as I like to call it the worst day of my life!!!!! I mean really, everyone who knows me knows I have not gotton any of my shopping or packing done. Today was suppose to be a productive day. There is 17 inches of snow in my yard. For those of you who need a visual of how much that is, image standing with snow OVER your knees!!! WTF. I was not dreaming of a White Christmas. Plus, climate and humidity changes make my poor child sick as dog. SO not only have we been trapped in our house all day, Mason is coughing like crazy every couple of minutes. I know everyone is thinking oh that would be so much fun. NO. You cant even walk around in this mess. Mason fell as soon as he stepped off the porch and couldnt get up. (Ok that part was really funny) Anyway enough complaining. Here are pictures of us in the snow when it was at 13 inches.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!

Ok so the first week in Dec. we got our first snow. YAY!!!! Ok not really, snow in Dec. is usually a sign its gonna be a bad winter AND we were going to take Mason to meet Thomas the Train in PA that weekend. We did have a wonderful time playing in the snow and having a family snowball fight. We ended up getting about 6 or 7 inches of snow.

A few Thanksgiving Pics

We had a wonderful time with my family for Thanksgiving. We stayed in a cabin in the moutains in TN. It was great...except for the Egg Bowl, of course.

A few Mason videos for your viewing pleasure

The first video is of Mason and "Feliz Navida." I bought that for Mason when we were home at the drugstore, b/c he had gotton really sick right before we went on our Las Vegas trip. Still over six months later...he loves it! Its in our truck and he loves to playwith it and sing AND its still in the box!!! The next one is of him singing a little tune I made up when he was born and sing to him before bedtime. Sometimes he sings it back to me.

This two are of him and his career ambitions ( yes, he is saying garbage truck driver) and telling how to spell his name, ect.

Mason is Three

Mason turned 3 on May 18th. We had a party at Kids Play on the 24th. Mason had a great time with his friends and my parents were able to come. We are enjoying the benifits of having a three year old....we feel much more comfortable leaving him with a sitter, 10 dollars off per week at daycare, and now when we go to the grocery store we can take Mason to Tree House. Its basically a little daycare in the grocery store where you can drop your kid off and shop in peace. Yeah, I love grocery shopping now!!!

Mason and his RED face after playing at school.
Yeah, sometimes Mason picks out his own outfits for school.
