Soccer...take 2

Mason started soccer...for the second time. He wasn't able to finish the season out in Las Vegas before we moved and so as soon as spring came and soccer started here, we got him signed up. We have him in a program through the City of Idaho Falls and I think he is doing way better than he did last time around. It is a really low pressure, parent and child interaction type program so it works perfect for Mason. 

 Mason and Brad were racing their balls dribbling them down a row...Mason was doing it and doing really well until he was about 2 feet from the end and then coach cheered for him...Mason stopped right there and picked up his ball and walked away. This kid does not like to be recognized for anything...so as long as nobody talks directly to him, he does really well at soccer :)

9 Months!

This little peanut is now 9 months old! Where is the time going??

She is now 16 lbs (10th percentile) and 26 inches (5th percentile).

She is the happiest baby and loves to follow Mason everywhere he goes and she is especially fond of playing with all of his toys. She has been crawling for a couple months now and is speedy fast all over the house. She also pulls herself up and walks along things. She has let go and stood by herself for a second a couple of times.

She will eat anything and everything and tons of it!

1st Day of Pre-school

Today was Mason's first day of preschool. We were able to get him qualified to go to preschool through the school district...he will finish out the last 8 days of the school year and then start again in the fall.

He rarely smiles so good for pictures...but doesn't he look way to cute and way to old??

He started to get a little nervous after we got out of the car and he saw all the kids.

I think he cried for about 2 minutes after I left him.

When I picked him up, he wouldn't even look or talk to me for about 15 minutes...he was mad I left him, lol. Then he opened up and started telling me all about "Miss Jessica" and all the activities.

We love you Mason!

Chickens and Bubbles

6 Months!

Little Morgan is 6 months already! Time is flying by. I took Morgan for her 6 month check up. She has grown a bit since her 4 month check up.

She gained 1 pound, so she is now 14 lbs, 1 ounce (10th%)

She is 24 inches (3rd%)

Morgan is getting pretty good at sitting up...

 She loves to sit up and walk around in this little plaything...and everything goes in to her mouth, of course!

 She is a big smiler and giggler, especially at Mason...but as soon as she sees the camera, she turns off the laughs and smiles and just stares at you. I've only been able to capture a couple of blurry smile pictures.

Rice Cereal

After about a month of trying to feed Morgan cereal, she has finally decided she likes it. At first she would gag and choke and make a face like we were giving her something awful. It was quite dramatic. Finally the past few days she has decided that it is yummy and gets really impatient when I can't feed her fast enough.

Quick Pics

Grandma Lyman got the kids some new games for their little computers for Christmas. Mason has had a ton of fun playing with it and he even will share with Morgan. She likes to listen to the stories.

 One Saturday we went grocery shopping. Mason was sitting in the back of the cart and fell asleep sitting in the groceries. He stayed asleep as we unloaded all the groceries around him and then loaded them in again around him. 

 Two cute squishy kids in the tub

 Mason has been obsessed with learning about bones lately. He will tell you all about his phalanges, his radius, ulna, ribs, femur, etc. One day at the mall he saw this sign with the skeleton and took off running across the courtyard to show us the skeleton. Way too cool!

Fun with cousins

Mona Kay and Spencer drove to Vegas the day after Christmas. We were lucky to be able to see them for a couple of hours.

Here is Morgan and Laurel...best buds already

 Mason always has a blast playing with Gavin, Caleb, and Saige...especially since Papa Fabbi has toy guns :)

Bowling

December 26 is Teagan's birthday. Teagan had a bowling birthday party this year and we were lucky to be in town for the big day. All the cousins always have so much fun together and I think they all had fun bowling.

 Mason picked out the 8 lb ball and wouldn't use anything else...he could hardly carry it.

 The birthday boy

 Dylan is a baby lover and could not get enough of holding Morgan while we were there. Luckily, she loves him too and didn't mind being held.

 We tried to get a picture of Maizey and Morgan...didn't work so well

 We finally decided to take one with the mom's in it, worked out much better :) 

Happy Birthday Teagan! Thanks for inviting us to your bowling party!
