The men in my life...





Mason is well into his second year of life and becoming more like a little boy every day!
He gives slobbery, opened mouth kisses that melt my heart and he gives the BEST hugs ever.
He has 12 very sharp teeth (I've learned from experience).
He understands everything I tell him and follows my directions pretty well.
He is becoming more and more like a little boy every day, and I'm starting to lose sight of the baby I once had.
He doesn't walk...he runs...everywhere.  Yesterday, in 2 seconds flat, he made it from the garage door to our mailbox.  When I told him to turn it around, he laughed at me!!  If we're inside, he's normally trying to find a way to get to the stairs.  He crawls up them lightning fast with a huge silly grin on his face, squealing all the way.
He loves to play baseball, soccer, and golf and he knows that each sport is different.  If we hand him a ball, he knows immediately if he should kick it, throw it, or swing at it with a club.
He still prefers to cuddle with his Mama and I am enjoying every second I get because I know very soon he will prefer his Dad.
He loves playing with other children.
He refuses to eat if he can't feed himself.  No more baby food for this guy...or anything that even resembles baby food (including mashed potatoes, applesauce, rice, soup etc. etc.) He requires a spoon and fork along with each meal ;)
A great sleeper he is, and I am so very thankful!!  Sleeping 12 hours at night with a 2 hour nap during the day...in his own bed!!
He loves his paci and calls it his ba-ba...I'm dreading the day we take it away.
He wants to be outside ALL the time.
He loves racing his cars around the house and makes all the noises that go along with it.
His all time favorite thing to play with is still SHOES.  He puts them on his hands and cruises around the house.
At daycare, he now gets to go to the park with the big kids.  When I pull up to get him, he runs toward me with a big grin on his face like we have been apart for years.  I will never ever tire of this!
He knows how to be funny and likes to make people laugh, and he has a sense of humor...he'll put on a show for anyone - Shy he is NOT!
He is our whole world and I love being his Momma!!

Our Trip to Niagara Falls, Canada. One last getaway before our kids headed back to school and this one couldn't have been more perfect!  I highly recommend seeing these amazing Falls at least once in your lifetime!  We did all things tourist-y and I wanted to share some of our favorites if you're ever looking to take a trip North. Our girls + kids weekend getaway, plus all the deets: Also, girls trips are awesome - we had soo much fun! If you're looking for a home to rent while in Niagara Falls that is gorgeous and perfect in every way, while also being within walking distance from most things then be sure to check this one out.  This was just enough off the beaten path that we could come back home in the afternoons and unwind while getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  Us girls sat on the porch and rested while the kids played in the hot tub, or on the tire swing in the backyard!  Here's the short list of our favorite tours and eater...

Mason and Vince's Mini-Room Makeover.

The boys have been begggging for bunk beds for YEARS -  and to get ready for our next newest addition in November, we finally gave in to their pleas and they're now sharing a room! For not a whole lot of money, I think it turned out super cute.  I'll post the deets here if any of you are looking for a quick remodel for a shared brothers bedroom. The wall I did completely on my own, only using a tape measure, level, and razor blade!!  Originally I had wanted an authentic restored barn wood - but the $1200 price tag made me quickly change my mind.  Instead, I picked this up at Lowe's for less than $1 a square foot.  I had never attempted a project like this at all, but after watching just a few YouTube videos I felt like it was something I could certainly tackle on my own.  I did apply just a thin layer of additional glue before I put each peel 'n stick panel to the wall.  Total cost for this Driftwood Gray weathered wood wall was le...
