One Amazing Man... and he's all mine:)

These are the beauty's I woke up to yesterday morning. They literally stopped me dead in my tracks. It was early and I was going the sink to make Mase a bottle and these gorgeous red flowers caught me eye. He's so incredible... I had no idea when he had time to get these, they certainly weren't there the night before. Things have been a little intense the past few weeks with the details of our adoption. We've kept it close to home but all the details that are coming in are overwhelming and my husband thought outside the box and just made my day. I truly love him and couldn't go through unexpected times with anyone else. He is my rock. I can't remember the last time I got roses and such breath taking ones at that. I LOVE YOU SETHY!

DaTe NiGhT wItH mY gIrLs-

6 Quirky things about me....
I don't know if these are QUIRKY but it's what came to mind so...

1. I don't use dryer sheets or any detergent that has a scent or perfume.
2. I have a little ocd on being 'even' ... example: if you rub one shoulder you have to rub the other-
3. I make up songs all the time and sing them to Seth is a loud and funny manner:)
4. Um, what else. For the longest time I thought people were out to get me. I always thought I was being followed to my car. I just knew I was going to be attacked at anytime... Oh dear!
5. Every time I go to the post office I have to indulge in a white delicious cup cake and the bakery across the street.... even if I get in my car first and try to talk myself out of it. I always cave:)
6. before the whole 'married underwear';) my undies had to match my outfit. Weird I know. Like any saw them.... & no... no one did! :)

Opps! I forgot to tag people... sorry:) so here my 6:

Ryann, Chelsea, Melly, Megan, Kim & Amee

Sunday Stud:)

My BoYs!

I just love my boys! I came home from Utah really sick so my sweet husband took insisted he take the night shifts for a couple days when we got home... Basically he's incredible! This is what I came out to see early one morning. My two boys together on the couch.... "my heart runneth over"

tear:(

where did my baby go? the past couple of days I've been stretching the newborn oneies to be able to snap... i think i've been in denial... last night was not so easy. I went to get him ready for bed and they just plain old didn't fit! I was so sad. no more NB for Mason. He's hit this growth spurt and no longer looks tiny... Growing so fast already- Crazy! Guess I just better soak it up:)

Cold Utah Weather... Brrrrrrr

Mason is a Cali baby so he didn't really have the right attire for a last minute trip to Utah when we arrived Grandma Cookie had the cutest 'shurpa' waiting for him. I called it his sheep coat. It was the cutest, most comfy thing ever! She also had to winter outfits for him that he wore over and over that weekend:) Isn't he adorable in it?! I'm just sad because it's newborn and well he's growing:(

Mason: MeEt YoUr FaMiLy :)

Seth had a last minute unplanned business trip to Canada last week, so thanks to my AMAZING in-laws I was able to fly home while he was away (then sethy met us there for the weekend).... What a blessing this weekend was. Being able to introduce Mason to his family was beyond incredible. We've waited for years to feel complete and to be able to have that and be amongst family was a very neat family- (we missed you Caldwell's) They were ALL so good with him and very excited. It was neat to see Mason, the long awaited nephew and grandson in our family's arms. The neatest part was seeing our niece's and nephew's hold and kiss him. That was almost overwhelming. They automatically knew who it was... they've been waiting too:) Hannah helped with every feeding and diaper change. When he would cry she would go by his face and say in a very sweet voice "oh it's okay, oh, oh, I'm here" thanks for all your help Hannah... you're baby sister is going to be in very good hands.... We started out at Cookie's which was great, she had everything cleaned and prepared for mason, we felt very homey there. He didn't like the first 20 mins of the plane too much... okay so I think mommy didn't like it more. Being in the small of a space with a screaming baby, while people just stare at you makes you sweat a little- Thank you big time to the red headed beauty mom sitting behind mom who made my bottle up for me and was so sweet... she saved my day. After bouncing for a solid 30 mins and singing quietly in his ear he fell asleep- thank heavens- It's weird, now when I'm in public especially at the airport, people are SO much more friendly. Usually women and usually ones with kids themselves but even the men would smile, open doors and what not. I felt like I had a birthday sticker on in school and everybody was nicer that day. So I applaud people of are extra nice to ladies with babies:) Anyway, Cookie's was great, it was a quick trip and mason seemed to not adjust right away so I decided to sleep there all the nights I was with my fam so the little guy didn't have re-adjust to every house. We spend the days with my sisters and then went to Seth's family's Friday night when he flew in. It was great to see my sister's. Jamie hosted a way fun pizza night for everybody. Cass came out for dinner at Cookies the first night and I spent Friday with Chelly. All fabulous days. It was just so fun to see mason among the little ones... we've waited a very long time to be a member of that club;)

MYA'S WALKING:)

When Brody first came in he walked sideways towards Mason with a crooked little smile on his face, that only brody can pull off. He peeked over at him, looked at me and this is how our conversation went

B: "Whom gave you him?"

I laughed.

Me: "what?"

Looking confused and full of speculation he continued

B:"Whom did give you him?"

I then proceed to tell him the 'kid' verson of how my belly is broken and I can't carry babies like mommy and how heavenly father sent him through a special girl who brought me Mason...

B: "he yours?"

Me: "yeah"

B: "him my new cousin?"

Me: "if that's okay?!"

Brody's whole face lit up with a smile and then screamed and left the room....

I guess that's all he needed to know... kids are so simple. i love it.

This is brody checking his 'new cousin' out. He kept saying 'mom, baby mason so tute"

Dax wanted to hold him too:) We had to be careful cause dax is a little.. aggressive with babies but everytime with caught him with Mase he was just trying to tickle him;)

Seeing The McVea's

Oh man, it was so fun to see Seth's family. They always make us feel so at home. I've never seen Seth's eye's light up the way they did when his family saw Mason. It was a precious moment. They were so smitten by him... then again I don't blame them, he is quite the stud! They were so good with him it's like I had a live in babysitter for two days:) Thanks for everything fam and thanks for all the rides Aunt Lilly (We missed you Evans family, big time:)

Okay, so ever since we knew Mason was coming CL couldn't wait to see if he could hold a fishing pole. It's one of Seth's and his dad's favorite past times together, so they needed to know if Mason could to make the cut???
