Spoiled by Grandmas...

Mason was able to see both his Grandma's in one week. A rare occurance since they both live 8 hours away. GiGi was here until Thursday, and Grammie flew in on Friday. Mason had so much fun with them both! Thanks for blessing us all!

I love GiGi this much...

Mason loves his GiGi..

Last Thursday, GiGi ( my mom) flew up for the weekend to take care of Mason so Craig and I could get away for the weekend. We went to Granbury which is only about 45 minutes from us. Our time was invaluable and such a blessing. It was nice to just take some time for us, relax, and take a little break from parenting duties. I think everyone should invest in their marriage and get away with their spouse (especially if you have kids!)

We had a wonderful time, and we so thankful my mom was willing to watch Mason for us. We were even more thankful when we came home and found out that she was up all night with a sick little boy. We took Mason to the doctor Sunday afternoon to find out that he had an upper respitory infection. Also, found out his two front bottom teeth broke through as well. Monday he had a rough day, so GiGi decided to stay and watch him for the next couple of days so he could get better. Mason loves his GiGi. He always wants to know where she is. We will all be sad when she has to go home, but are so thankful she was able to bless us tremendously!

The first couple of pictures are of Mason when he was not feeling well, but still wanted to try to play a little bit. I was trying to read the paper and he didn't want to be left out:-)
That's the best smile he could give me.

Trying to crawl and get the antibacterial soap. Not sure why we we buy toys:-) One of his favorites is the remote.

These are from last night when he was feeling better. He has changed clothes since Monday, just happened to have the same pajamas on. He was looking for his GiGi.

His smile is back!

Almost...

Two nights ago I was getting Mason ready for his bath and he kept pulling up like he was going to crawl. I thought for sure he would crawl and I would be able to catch it on camera, however, I was wrong. He did give me quite a few adorable expressions though. This first picture is why I grabbed my camera in the first place. (And no, I didn't set it up!) On a side note, I can't believe our little baby is 7 months old today!

A&M and Cowboy Stadium...

Yesterday we got to go to the A&M and Arkansas game at Cowboy Stadium. The stadium is unbelievable, but I just wish it was a better game. We had a great time, and I am so glad we went. Since it was Game Day, Mason was dressed in one of his A&M outfits. This is one of my favorite pictures with his daddy!

Gig'em Aggies

A rare family picture. I wish I didn't look so tired!

Mason loves his Aunt Sarah!

Brandon and Leann.

We were able to see Craig's uncle, Scott, and family before the game.

Unfortunately, one of the few points A&M scored.

Huge HD quality screen... goes from the 20 yard line to the other 20 yard line.

You can see why you watch the screen more than the field! Unbelievable quality!

Pajamas...

Fall is here! (Sort of) It does get a little colder at night, so Mason has gone to the long pajamas with little feet. He continues to try to get them and put them in his mouth. Here are a couple of us playing this morning. Yes, this morning....we have been up since 5:15am on a Saturday:-) But it's ok, I love playing with my sweet boy. At least we didn't have to go to school today!

5:01am & Texas Weather...

For the last couple of days, Mason's little internal alarm clock has gone off at 5:01 every morning. Now, we have been very blessed from the beginning as he has always been a good sleeper, but I really wish he would go back to waking up at 6 or 6:30. He eats and goes back to bed, where as for me I don't have enough time to go back to sleep. I know the solution which is go to bed earlier, but every night I think my prayers will be answered and he will wake up at 6:00!

Texas weather = unpredictable! On Friday, when I went to go pick up Mason at "school" ( sounds better than daycare) he had on some pants that he didn't have on when he left the house. I got the point... I needed to dress him warmer. I didn't think it was that cold outside, but I realize now that for a little baby it was. This weekend I got him plenty of comfortable pants for the fall and winter.

On Monday, it was about 95 degrees, so naturally I think Tuesday will be the same. I dressed him in one of his short sleeve onesies and he was ready to go. Craig took him to school, and I didn't know until I stepped outside that it was 58 degrees! I decided I will dress him in pants from now on, and we can take them off if it is hot. Here is Mason ready to go to school this morning in his little pants. He is days away from crawling, and he loves his toys!
