Duplicate...

One of my all time favorite pictures of Mason just happened to get duplicated with Micah, and both in the arms of their daddy. Mason was only 2 months in this picture, while Micah is now 5 months. But oh so cute! Hard to believe Mason was ever that small!

Catching Up...

Catching up... last weekend ( Labor Day Weekend) my mom and dad took Mason for the weekend so I could finish editing a wedding that I was behind on. He had the BEST time! I met my mom in George West on Thursday, and Craig's mom blessed us by bringing him back on Sunday. He didn't ask for us once! He went swimming, chased the dogs, and just loved being at GiGi and PaPa's house.

My dad called on Saturday and said he realized why we sent him that weekend, so I could watch college football because he was watching Mickey Mouse. Maybe a little truth to that:-) I was watching while editing of coarse. It truly blessed me as I was able to work for three days straight and get it all done, which gives me a little break until my next one on October 1st.

A couple of recent Mason sayings. We have finally had a little break from the heat and Mason and Daddy were going exploring. It was such a nice night, so Craig said, "Mason, can Mommy and Micah come?" He said, " No, Micah is too little and Mommy is too heavy!" Really? I tell you he doesn't forget a thing. When I was at the end of my pregnancy with Micah he wanted me to swing with him, and I told him I couldn't because I was too heavy.

Tonight Craig and Mason were playing with his bugs. There were two that looked just alike and Craig said, " Look these spiders are brothers." He said, " No daddy, they are spider twins." We have NO idea how he knows what a twin is, much less recognize that two spiders that are identical are twins.

Mason is also very much into making a list of things he is going to do and counts them while he is telling them to you. The other day he said, "First I am going exploring with daddy, then I am going to have my gatorade and popsicle, then take a bath time, and then watch 12 Mickey Mouses and have another popsicle and skittles and then go night night. OK?" Nice try sweet boy!

I will close with our sweet girl who is 5 months today. I took these on Thursday while Mason was at school. She just smiles all the time.

I am sure I have said this before but Micah sucks her fingers in her mouth when she is tired. I put her in her jumpero while I cook dinner, and instead of crying to get out, she just leaned over. I am telling you... best baby ever!

A couple of weeks ago went to Austin for my cousin's 30th birthday party. We were too busy trying to keep up with the kids and talking that I didn't take but a couple of pictures. I wish I would have taken more! Here is one I did get of Grandma Shirline and Micah.

Sidenote...

On a quick sidenote, I finally had the chance to update my photography blog. Blogger makes it much easier to post now, and it is not so time consuming. I am finally caught up in editing so I could focus on the blog. If you are interested in seeing some of my photography work you can click on this link http://chantelbellamy.blogspot.com/. Enjoy!

Preschool..

Our sweet boy started preschool on Tuesday. He only goes Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 to 2:30. It is so good for ALL of us! He never wants to go, but has the best time while he is there. When we pull into the church he says, " No mommy, I just want to go home."  Yet he stops crying soon after I drop him off, and his teacher ( who he loves) says he has had two great days. I forgot how much I love preschool:-)I get some one on one time with Micah, and get to get everything done around the house and get all my errands done with just one little one.

I had been trying to prepare Mason that school was going to start and how fun it was going to be. He said, " I don't want to go to school?" I asked him why and he said, " School is boring!" Right, like a 2 year old knows school is boring. He heard someone say that he would be bored in school because he is advanced for his age, he decided he would us it on me.

After editing these pictures, I realized how desperately Mason needed a haircut. We finally gave him one last night. I love this first picture Micah's smile says, " Yes, my big brother is going to school. And I get mommy all to myself!"

This one looks like he just crawled out of bed.

 Micah's sign that she is tired.

Cheeks...

My favorite of the week. I just want to squeeze those cheeks. I love this sweet girl to pieces! You can see that we enjoyed our first experience with rice cereal.

We were eating dinner, and Micah kept smacking her lips. We decided it would be a great time to try some rice cereal. She is clearly not a fan!

 Micah was quite the entertainment for us. We all could not stop laughing at her facial expressions.

 Micah truly is the happiest girl in the world. She even wakes up smiling! If I just ate something I didn't like, I would not be smiling like this.

Gameday...

We are definitely excited it is football season around here! We had a fun A&M kickoff party on Sunday, and we actually got a good family picture ( with the help of some photoshop skills). Mason didn't want to take off his jersey. He slept in it, and wore it the next day. I will update more tomorrow, but here are a couple of our little 12th man.

He was trying to run so fast to go exploring with his daddy, he fell pretty hard. He just jumped right up and kept going. He couldn' t wait!

How is...

How is our baby girl old enough to sit in a bumbo and play in an exersauser? Time goes by even faster with the 2nd!

This is my favorite of the week! I wish I could have known what Micah was thinking. Mason got in trouble for not leaving her alone and started crying. Classic!

Mason thinks he can play Words With Friends. He just drags the letters and tells me what they are. No words yet!
