Saturday, April 16th--Mason’s Birthday

Actually, his birthday is on the 17th, but since that was a Sunday we celebrated it on the 16th…just a side note…

We started the day by walking in to Mason’s room carrying balloons and singing “Happy Birthday”. He fell in love. The balloons were an instant hit.

Right after this we went to the ward Easter party. Rob and I had never discussed Easter eggs with Mason before, but somewhere he must have picked it up; that or seeing brightly colored plastic eggs lying all over the ground is just too hard to resist because he gathered them up like a pro! haha

Next we went to the Treehouse; a regular favorite.

Then we did birthday cake and presents. By this time he was getting kind of tired and onery, so he wasn’t too impressed with anything, but that is ok.

Next we played with the presents. And when I say “we” I mean “we”. Rob and I had a blast, and this Mason LOVED!

Last we had dinner at Panda Express. I know this may seem like an odd place, but honestly it is his favorite of all places we go. He like fried rice more than just about anybody I know…except for maybe me.

Sunday, April 24th-Easter Sunday

Sunday afternoon we met Rob’s family at Temple Square. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and Mason ran from fountain, to fountain, to fountain. I’ve never seen a kid so fascinated with water.

Aunt Julia and Nicole were kind enough to hide some Easter eggs for him and a basket and he had soooo much fun looking for them! I must say, he is good at it, too…

Monday, May 2nd- Day Off

(Side note: happy birthday to Paige this day!). Rob took this day off randomly and we went to our first home together; Logan. We did the usual:

Willow Park Zoo: (this peacock was being extra noisy and scared the crap out of Mason. hahahahaha)

Pepperidge Farm/Old Grist Mill/Cheese

First Dam: I’m sorry, but there is something extremely funny about watching a toddler chase water fowl…maybe it’s that they both waddle…maybe it’s that they both make such funny noises. I don’t know, but I could watch it all day long.

Second Dam:

Friday, May 6th- Mother’s Day

A month or two ago I told Rob all I wanted for Mother’s Day was a night to myself at our house. This way I could eat, watch, and do what I wanted when I wanted. Also, I would not have to worry about waking up to a baby needing to be fed, a toddler yelling in his sleep, or a loving husband snoring. So…being the most wonderful person in the world he is, Rob took the kids down Friday night and spent it at his mom’s house. I have no pictures, and I didn’t even really do anything; took myself out for Chinese (seafood was too far away), and watched “Les Miserables”. So nothing exciting, but I was by myself…and that was just wonderful...

*There was also a trip to Fillmore in between there that I will post some pics of later.
