Fireworks

Apparently Mason and Jack thought the fireworks were too loud but always clapped when they were done. They are seriously the cutest little buddies in the world.

disneyland

we went to disneyland for 5 days last week. we had a blast. i thought my legs and feet were seriously going to fall off. we figured we walked a full marathon in 5 days. we stayed at the disneyland hotel which was really nice. mason had so fun. he was star struck at the sight of lightning mcqueen, to be honest I was a little star struck. i never want to see the electrical parade again and those dancing monkey men. all in all it was a great time and i missed dillon like crazy. so grateful that my mom watched him while we went. i didn't take a lot of pictures but here are a few.

always an adventure

If you know my little Mason you know he is pretty fearless and is not afraid of much. It proved to be very evident today when I took the kids to the pool at the gym. All was going well and Mason was having a blast and getting the hang of his life jacket. We got out for some lunch, when all of a sudden after only looking away for seconds, Mason went missing. My sisters and I searched for the longest 6-7 minutes of my life. I thought for sure he was at the bottom of the pool. I was hysterical and had the most awful images in my head. After what seemed like a lifetime a lifeguard comes walking over with Mason soaking wet and crying and asks me if this is the little boy I am looking for. Where was he you ask? Ummm, he decided to go down the huge 2 story waterslide all by himself with no life jacket. Keep in mind that you have to climb about 20 steps to get up to the waterslide, and that still wasn't intimidating enough for him. I was kind of upset at the lifeguard at the top of the slide that let him go down. Thank goodness for that lifeguard that caught him at the bottom, he would have gone under for sure! If it's true what they say about your 2 year old having the same personality when they are 16 I am in for real trouble.
