HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year!
Well I first wanted to say SORRY it has been so long since I posted!
Having a new baby has taken a lot out of me lately.
So, Christmas came and flew by! Holly MOLLY!!
It was so much fun watching Parker enjoy Christmas.
He was so excited to see that Santa came.
And Joel and I enjoyed watching him open all his gifts with a BIG smile!
I hope Christmas brought all of you happiness and joy.
This year is going to be a good one. 2009 is coming with good karma.
I made some new years resolutions:
I want to loose 50 lbs but I am taking baby steps, 25 by June.
I am GOING to stop swearing.
I am going to get a good job and keep it.
I am going to work on being a better mom, cooking better healthy foods, cleaning more,
and taking more time to play with Parker and being a ACTIVE mom.
And just better myself.
And I also want to start a savings account so we can buy our first home!!!
I hope that 2009 brings my family stability, jobs, money and happiness.
And I hope it brings happiness to you and your family too!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Years!

Happy LATE Halloween

Well if you have ever been to my house, you know all about my huge trees.
What a mess they are this time of year! They are so beautiful in the summer,
and provide my entire yard with shade, witch saves us on our electric bill because we don't have to crank up the AC. But every good thing has a down fall........ And boy oh boy does it all fall down. Thankfully Grandma Cindy came and saved Joel from all the work. She is so good to our family, and we love her to death. Parker decided that he needed to help to. I am not sure if he helped or hindered but he sure had fun jumping in the leaves. After 3 trailer loads to the waste yard later, the job is done.

Cody Brent Mason

Added by Stacey! Steph and I Wanted to post so everyone can see the new addition!

After waiting and waiting Steph went into the doctors office on her due date October 29th and found out that she was far enough along to get started. She went right over the the hospital. They were very busy and she did not get her on Pitocin until 12:20. She got her epidural about three hours later and at 9:48 PM had a beautiful baby boy.

Cody Brent Mason! He is so cute...

We all agreed that he looks like Joels dad... Grampa Mason.

He immediatley got his fingers to his mouth.



He has a good grip already. Look he got a hold of the oxygen tube.




Proud Mom and Dad.






Proud Aunt Stacey! I was so grateful Steph wanted me to be there. I love babies. Nothing better.






He loves his fingers. He had them in his mouth all the time.





He is for sure a keeper. He has a lot of dark brown hair. Weighed in at 6 lbs and 12 oz. Just a little squirt! We had bets. I lost! I thought he would be bigger than Parker. I think we all did. He was 18 1/2 inches long. Steph was so strong. She had an hour that her epidural quit working and she was so strong. Joel was wonderful to her during Labor and it was great to watch them celebrate and enjoy this new baby.






Thanks again to Joel and Steph for sharing this wonderful baby with us all! We love you!

Happy Birthday My Little Man

I cannot believe that my little Parker is 2! Oh how time FLYS!
It seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital greeting our little man into the world.
And now we are waiting for his little brother, and having a birthday party!!

I decided that we were going to have a Halloween party theme this year! It was so much fun watching all the kids with the Witches Brew! We made home made root beer in a cauldron with the dry ice. Everyone thought that that was so neat! And it sure tasted GOOD!

Mom decided to make a pinata instead of buying one. It was Frankenstein if you were wondering. All the kids got a chance to smack at him. Parker was not really into it, until dad showed him that there was CANDY inside.

Well lets just say Parker is a very spoiled 2 year old!

5 Different types of dinosaurs
Large rocking horse

Thank you to all my family and friends who could share my big day with me! I love all my toys, and gifts! Thank You for loving and caring about me so much! I am very lucky to have a family like you!
