First Basketball game

Mason got to go to his first basketball game this weekend! :) We drove down with Kelli & my parents to Edmond for cousin Eric's tournament game on Saturday afternoon. It was a really close game and Mason enjoyed watching the players run up and down the court...these pictures are of him clapping along with the cheerleaders - he LOVED clapping! I would help him clap along and he would just laugh the whole time - too cute!

Big boy!

Mason is staying awake a lot more during the days and has been VERY playful recently!!! :) He has gotten very big & is now eating solids! He had rice cereal the other night for the first time - he also sat in his high chair for the first time this week! The babysitter's son was sick a couple of days this week, so I stayed home with Mason and we had a blast!! He seems to be healthy & has been working on getting some teeth - I think that one of them is just about to break through!

Mason's First Christmas

Well we are finally done with a whirlwind of a holiday! I think we are all trying to get back on schedule from a fun-filled week!

First of all, our babysitter was off duty the week of Christmas, so Mason got to spend Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at Grammy's house! They had lots of fun together :) On Wednesday, after Randal got off of work, we headed down to Argonia for Christmas Eve with my family. After dinner, we opened presents - the 1st present opened was KU tickets that Kelli had gotten us all for the OSU game on Feb 7th :) Yay Aunt Kelli! All of the other gifts were great too, and Mason got several toys and new outfits. We spent the rest of the evening playing a Seinfeld trivia game that we got Kelli and then woke the next morning to open stockings - Mason got to open his stocking that Gma Sue had made for him. He was a little more alert and excited about things in the morning, since he was tired the night before.

At around 10, the Stephens family started to arrive for our Christmas brunch, which was yummy :) Mason slept for a little while and then got past around as we all played games and had a devotional after we ate. After a couple of hours, it was time for us to leave...

We left Argonia and headed down to Ponca City to visit the Schafers family for a little while. We showed up at the end of lunch to visit with Grandmomma and Papa for a little while before heading out for Edmond.

We arrived in Edmond just in time for a soup supper and then an evening playing games. The rest of the family arrived the next morning and we had a nice, big lunch and got to enjoy a big game of flag football (Mason and I just watched Daddy play!) After football was over, we had our gift exchange and then played a Sequence tournament before we decided to stay the night in OK before heading home the next morning.

We got up early on Saturday morning and left my grandparents house around 7:45. We arrived home and got everything unpacked and I started cooking for Randal's family, who came over that evening around 6. We had a fun gift game and then sat down to eat. After the meal, we opened our gifts to each other. Mason got lots more fun things, including his first guitar and soccer ball and also a passport from Epcot at Disney World. He also got a sweet little rocking chair that I think he really likes :)

After that, we just spent Sunday vegging around the house and recovering from a hectic few days! It was a great first Christmas and we can't wait for next year!!!

The Pastor Made My Baby Cry!!!

So Friday was the EP Christmas party, so we planned for the Busbys to babysit Mason while we were away...well I started to feel really sick while at work and ended up feeling absolutely horrible all day and night, so we didn't make it to the party...instead, the Busbys watched Mason for a couple of hours while I came home and took a nap until Randal got home - which I REALLY appreciated!!! Anyway, Mason cried for a few minutes when I first dropped him off and Cody took this picture which I thought was hilarious...he posted it on facebook with a "Mason Misses Mommy" description :) They said he was really good and did well and really enjoyed playing with Emma & Avery, so he wasn't like this the whole night :)
