Mother's Day

Is officially the best day of the year if you're a mom. Nancy came down and celebrated the special day with us. Thanks Andy for the yummy breakfast :)




I like having a bubble lawn mower rammed into my shins, don't you? Nancy, you are a great sport and a fantastic Gram.

Just your average Thursday night

Jim comes to Amissville and stays with us on Thursday nights while he is getting his home built. It's sweet to see Mason run into his arms while yelling, "Paw Paw!" This is Mason's new name for Jim, he was supposed to be Grandpa.

Mason's attempt at a smile...
Making sure the blueberries are getting enough water. Sometimes we like to water shoes.
Appreciating a bird song...





Have you seen those National Geographic specials about animals and their babies? Specifically the ones where the baby cubs are climbing all over the sleeping parent, biting ears, pulling fur and doing all sorts of tackling moves?


Time to go in for some dinner, a warm shower and a story. See you tomorrow!

Mommy and Mason Night

Andy had one of his last classes which meant that Mommy and Mason got to spend the evening together. It's fun to sit on the couch with Andy once he gets home to show him all that we got into...

I enjoy some alone time, don't you? (WARNING: You will not get these 56 seconds of your life back. This is NOT an exciting video, just Mason being a one year old in the garden)



And after that awesome alone time Mason managed to find a bucket. The problem for Mommy was that the bucket was most definitely not empty.





Just talking about stuff on our way to the shower.



So fun!

Play date "Whoops!"

At our last play date with the Platts, Max and Mason had a great time at the playground. They became best of friends...



(Pretty sure the background laughter is what keeps me watching this video over and over. Thanks Andy, Sara and LD!)

Can you say, "McIntyre?"

Well, our boy speaks the truth. Tonight Andy was trying to teach Mason to say "McIntyre." It went something like this,

Andy: "Mason, can you say McIntyre? Mac-In-Tire."

Mason: "Daddy tired."

Andy: "Well, yes, that's true but say Mac-In-Tire"

Mason: "Daddy tired."

So as of now our little guy is Mason James Daddy Tired.
