Haley 16th Birthday!
We started out with dinner from Neds Krazy Subs (her favorite). There were about 20 teenagers at my house and I was the only adult. I know that sounds SCARY but it wasn't too bad. She has a very good group of friends and I'm sooooo thankful for that.
Then they were off to Skateland!
It was a great night. She had a lot of fun hanging with her friends and I really enjoyed getting to know them a little better.
The next night was the family party and the BIG family gift. I think she suspected something big but wasn't quit sure what it was. I found this bag at the last minute and new she would love it because she loves anything zebra stripped. So I put the real gift in the zebra bag and then put it in a gift bag. I love this look...it say's "What? This is it? Where's my real gift?" hehehe
Now here's the real smile! You see that wad of cash?
It's for this bat she wants for softball but it's a brand new release and won't be out till June.
And of course the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Cake that she just had to have.
It was a great birthday. I'm glad she had so many friends and family who made it such a special day!

More Softball
Yesterday was the last softball game of the season. The Varsity coach asked Haley to play with them and she was totally psyched! Unfortunately the game was really close so he never put her in but she had a great time just being there and wearing the Varsity jersey. I couldn't believe the difference between the Varsity and JV teams. These girls are definitely on a whole different level of playing than the JV girls. She's got a lot of work to do before next season if she wants a shot at making Varsity.
During the National Anthem.

After the game the girls sang Carry On. It almost brought me to tears and I was surprised how much of the song I remembered. It's been 20 years since I sang that song.
Now she gets a month off to relax before summer ball starts. Not looking forward to those games!

Mason 8 months
Here's a look at my sweet little guy at 8 months.
He desperately needs a haircut!
He's still not crawling. I think his minor leg injury set him back a few weeks.
Here he is holding that leg up. So sad!
I'm starting to give him more solid foods. He loves those little star puffs and these baby rice cakes.
He's now bathing in the kitchen sink instead of the bathtub. It's easier to control the water and keep it out of his ears. He got an ear infection after his tubes were put in and I thought it might be because I was getting water in his ears. No infections since I put him in the sink!
Tammie gave me this costume thinking Mason could wear it next Halloween. I don't think it's gonna fit him in 4 months! Too bad cause it's super cute!!
Hanging out at his brother's baseball games. He loves being outside!
This is the timeout basket. Yes I put my 8 month old in timeout. Well, not really, but this is where I put him when he's fussing and doesn't want to be on the ground or in the highchair or in his walker. He just wants me, but of course I'm in the middle of something and just need a few more minutes to finish up. So in the basket he goes...he loves it! I don't know what it is about it but I can usually get 15-20 minutes of happy time out of him. It's my secret weapon and I only use it when I really need it. Whatever works right!
He love's his daddy and gets so excited when he comes home from work!
He still only has two teeth and we're working real hard at getting him to sleep through the night. All of his ear infections really messed up his sleeping schedule. But he does take two good naps during the day, usually about 2 1/2 hrs. each. He weighs about 21 lbs and he's wearing 18-24 month size clothes. That's for his length, he's so tall. It's hard to believe how fast he's growing up!

A Bad Day
Yesterday was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! It started out with Jake waking up feeling sick, so he stayed home from school. Then Mason fell off my bed (about a 3 foot drop) and hurt his leg. I thought for sure it was broke so off to the urgent care we went (with no insurance). Thanks to my very bestest friend Jill who came over and sat with all the babies so both Larry and I could go. The x-rays showed no break so we were quite relieved. But he won't put any weight on it and he crys if you push on or squeeze his shin. The Dr. said it was a deep tissue bruise but there is no visible sign of an injury anywhere. So for now we are just treating it with Motrin and hopefully in a couple of days he'll be back to scooting around on the floor.
Every time you stand him up he lifts that leg up, its so cute but so sad.
Then later that day I went to pick up Haley from softball practice and she had a fat, bloody lip. I wish I could say that she got clocked in the face by a ball or a bat but unfortunately it's not that cool of a story. She actually got hit with a piece of ice, thrown by the COACH of all people. After practice some of the girls dumped the igloo of ice water over the coach's head. There were big clumps of ice that were stuck together so she picked one up and threw it at the fence thinking it would just shatter and fall to the ground but one small piece made it through and hit Haley who was sitting in the bleachers watching all the action. That coach has one heck of an arm...it hit her so hard that her lip was stuck in her braces. She said they just had to wait for the swelling to go down before they could pry it loose...OUCH!!!!
The inside of her lip looks worse than the outside. It's all purple and cut up. I made her smile for the camera even though she said it hurt to smile...I'm such a mean mom.
It breaks my heart to see my babies hurting. I hope they both heal up fast!!
And I hope today is a much better day!!!

Easter 2011
The neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt and Breakfast
Mason loved all the Eggs!
Dying easter eggs.
Well that's all I got. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of them in their Sunday clothes. They were a very good looking bunch of kids.

He's almost got it. He gets up on all fours and rocks but he hasn't quit figured out yet how to move those arms and crawl. He can even sit up from a laying position, although I haven't seen him do it yet. I've left him lying on the floor and next thing I know he's sitting up...I keep missing it. I'm sure that within the next couple of weeks he'll have it down and be crawling all over the place.
