boys will be boys

This is obviously from a while back, but i just thought these pictures were so funny...

happy 3rd birthday to Evelyn!

Evelyn had her birthday party at Deanna Rose this year, it was a blast! Connor was catching fish left and right and Mason loved looking at all the animals.

happy 3rd birthday to Connor!

Ok, I'm backtracking a little. Connor turned 3 at the end of March and had his birthday party at the Blue Valley Rec Center, just one of several parties. At the end of the party the birthday boy gets to sit in the middle of the parachute while everyone else spins him around. He wasn't quite sure what to make of that one!

Enjoying his cake!

learning to sit up!

i'm 6 months now!

Ok, 6 months have passed, time to start blogging again! Here is the latest look at Mason, 2 new teeth and starting to sit up on his own. 6 month checkup gave us the following stats: 17.6 pounds ( 50%), 28 inches (97%). Doing great!

trip to see Santa

Connor wasn't having it again this year, apparently Santa is too scary. We ended up all getting in the picture, once I get the picture scanned in I'll post it. It's pretty funny, we almost used it as our Christmas card --ha!

Connor - 2 1/2

Mason - 8 weeks

pics of the boys

Mason Dean has arrived!

Mason arrived on October 15th at 8:52 AM. He weighed 8 pounds 2 oz and was 19.25 inches long. Connor still doesn't know what to think, but has taken a liking to the little guy!

buckets of fun

A few weeks ago Connor and our neighbor Payton had fun playing in some buckets that we have. Who knew a bucket could be so much fun!?

big boy bed

Finally, a big boy bed! We bought bunk beds but are just using the top bunk for now. He was very excited to see it after all the talk.

Happy boy.

Getting ready for bed.

Reading before bed (notice the book is upside down).

Connor this morning after sleeping all night in his big boy bed!

the evolution of a swing set

Connor asked to get his "work clothes" on, then headed out back on his 4-wheeler to start helping build the swing set.

It pretty much took Kevin, his dad and my dad (and Connor) all weekend to build this monster. They started out with 5 huge boxes,and a 68 page manual.

Connor needed to take a break. He was working pretty hard.
