Trunk or Treat

At Mason's school today they had Trunk or Treat. He had a blast! Happy Halloween to you all!

Phoenix and Visiting Gran

Reading with Gran after we got back to Austin.

We went to Phoenix to visit our good friends Sean and Jen this past weekend. Mason was so excited about flying in an airplane. As soon as we got on the plane, he was taking it all in. He LOVED flying! Friday and Saturday were so much fun in Phoenix. We just played, while Scott and Sean went to the Arizona State football game. However, that night things started to go downhill because Mason got a bad ear infection. We ended up at the Urgent Care office Sunday morning. Thankfully he was feeling a little better by Monday afternoon when we headed home. We got back to Austin late so we went to Gran's for a quick dinner and then a good book. It was a great ending to our trip!

The Pumpkin Patch

We took Mason to the pumpkin patch at his school tonight. He loved all of the pumpkins! He kept running up and down the aisles of pumpkins trying to pick them up. We finally settled on a smaller pumpkin more his size to take home. We will have to carve a pumpkin soon for Halloween! It was much easier last Halloween to get a cute picture because he would sit still. This year it was a little more challenging!

Yum, Yum, Halloween Cupcakes!

Mixing the ingredients to make some yummy Halloween cupcakes.

Putting the paper cups in the circles. Mason didn't quite understand why only one cup went in each space, but he got the hang of it. He wanted to put the whole stack in one spot!

Now they are ready to ice. Yum-Yum!

Our friends Katie, Jace and Riley got into the Halloween spirit with us. As you can see, Riley enjoyed eating the icing off of her hands better than putting it on the cupcake!

And the completed masterpieces! They were beautiful and tasty!

My Growing Boy

Mason is growing up so fast! I don't know if he seems to be getting so big because his little brother will be here before we know it or if two is just a magic age where they grow up right before your eyes. He is such a sweet little boy. I am so blessed to be his mommy!

Our New Office!

Okay, the pictures posted in the wrong order, but oh well! As many of you know I am feeling really guilty that I have not done much of anything to get ready for our new baby. So, this weekend my wonderful husband helped me get going. We cleaned out closets that had stuff just thrown into them so we could make room for our new office. The computer has been in the room that will soon be the baby's, so we had to move things around.

Scott had a great idea to turn a nice, big closet in our laundry room into the office. So, Sunday he tore out the bottom two shelves and repainted. We had a phone jack installed, as the closet already had a plug and light. Then last night, we moved the desk and computer into it's new home. It fit perfectly! I am so excited to have our new office and get working on our little guy's nursery. Hopefully I can talk Scott into putting the new crib together tonight!

Too Cute!
