The bumbo...

Mason got a bumbo seat from his Grandma Bucher for Christmas this year and is finally able to use it! He is so chubby that we have to kind of squish him into it but he is very content when he is in it. I think he likes to be upright and able to watch everyone. Cole tried it out too and I think he had more room in it than Mason did. It's a great little seat though and it's always fun to have a new "activity" for Mason to try out!

Steal of a deal...

I went over to the Idaho Youth Ranch today to look around while I was out with the boys and saw this kids work bench out back. I went to see if it was in decent shape and it was actually in great shape! Everything was in working order, even the batteries, when you press down on the saw, it makes noise! (of course what would a toy be these days without noise!) And the best party, it was only $3.50! I had to call my mom right after and tell her what a good deal it was! I'm sure Adam will ask me where in the world we are going to put another large toy item in our house and right now, I'm not sure! I just know it was a steal of a deal and Cole played with it all afternoon:-)

Mom's photo studio...

So, I told Adam tonight that a gift he could give me sometime would be photography lessons. I just love to take pictures but don't know any tricks of the trade. I would love to learn how to take really good pictures! Of course, I still try and out of about 50 pictures, usually come up with two or three that are really cute! It's fun to get big smiles and actually catch them on film:-) Here's a few of my cute ones from the latest "mom's photo studio".

There's nothing like a fort!

Adam went skiing for the afternoon on Saturday and I stayed home with the boys. It was kind of a gloomy day so we needed to think of something fun to do inside. Our solution? A fort! I hadn't built one for a long time and it was pretty fun! We used his tent for the main entrance and then took all his cars, his flashlight, and some books and read inside. It was tons of fun and Adam found it was a good place to take a nap when he got home:-)

A few pics...

Here are a few pics from the last week or two. They include scenes from "watching the mobile", "playing airplanes", "Cole's first snow angel", "fun in the snow", and more! Hope you enjoy!!!

Baby smiles...

Mason is just sooooo cute! He is really starting to smile at us and give us little coo's and goo's when we talk to him. He just LOVES attention! I caught a little video of him and Adam talking:-)

Cole wanted to hold Mason so we let him sit in the rocking chair and hold him. "He aint heavy, he's my brother!"

Okay, maybe just a little:-) (this was Cole's way of moving Mason)

Trip to the Coast

Well, we had a great girls weekend at the Oregon Coast! Girls plus a couple little boys I might add. It was so much fun to spend time with my mom, sisters, aunts, and cousins from the Bunn side at the family beach house on the coast. We had fun playing on the beach, shopping

at the great outlet mall, eating good food, playing games, watching movies, and catching up with family that I haven't seen in a while! There were about 20 of us that went and we hope to make it an annual event and have even more next time! What a great trip and thanks Mom for being the best helper with my boys the whole time! What would I do without you:0)

Cousins! (notice how Mason is almost the same size as his cousin Troy who is 6 months older! His last weight was in the 93 percentile!)
