Opening his presents-FUN!!!

Mason celebrated his 4th birthday on February 7th. He has seen Jakob go to birthday parties throughout the past year and that was all he would talk about, when his birthday gets here what kind of party he was going to have. He really would have liked to have it at Chuckie Cheeses or Pump It Up, but we ended up going to Disneyland, so he had to settle for a Superman party at home. It turned out really fun though! He invited his friends over for pizza, a few games and cake and icecream. He got some really fun gifts and was simply extactic just to have a party all centered around him! It was his first friend party and he really loved every minute of it. We are glad you had a fun day bud and we love you tons!

Happy 1st Birthday Hannah!

1 week

3 Months

6 Months

9 Months

1 Year!!!

Wow-I cannot believe my baby is already 1! It seems like the year just flew by us. Looking back through her baby pictures makes me kind of sad that she grew up soooo fast! We celebrated her 1st birthday on the 6th of February. We had all of my family and Wade brother's family over for some munchies and cake and icecream. It was a little crazy because we had just gotten back from Disneyland at midnight the night before and Wade and I were both feeling miserable, but we made the best of it. Hannah got some fun gifts and attached to one of them was a little dum-dum succor. That made her night! She really could have cared less about her cake, she was completely satisfied with the succor. When we tried to take it away she threw a huge fit. We finally had to put her hands in the cake for her and that sparked her attention enough to play in the cake for a little bit.

Hannah seems to be ahead of her game in life and I really wish she would just slow down. She began walking at 9 months and hasn't stopped since. She loves to give and blow kisses and it is the sweetest thing and melts our hearts. She also is very good at folding her arms for the prayers and sits very still for a 1 year old (she even sits more still than her big brother!) She loves candy and knows where I keep it and will stand at the cabinet and point and cry until someone gets it for her. She is learning where everyone's eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hair are. The only thing she is lacking is talking and that would be because she is very good at pointing and screaming and someone will get her what she needs, so what's the point, but we are still trying. We have loved having this little one in our home and she makes us smile and laugh often. Mason loves to tell people that his Mommy got our family a funny baby! We love you Hannah!

Disneyland 2009!

2 weeks ago we were able to spend 3 days at Disneyland. We decided to take a trip in honor of Mason and Hannah's birthdays. We had a ton of fun the first 2 days, and then the last day was horrible. Wade and I both ended up sick and feeling miserable, but trying to be in good spirits for the sake of our kids and then there was the rain, that was a whole other issue. It began at noon and never let up. We had umbrella's and ponchos, but those only cover your top half, so needless to say our feet and up to our knees were sopping wet and extremely cold, so we ended up calling it a day at 4 pm, which turned out to be okay, because we had to drive back that night anyway. Hannah was quite a little pill. She really prefers to do her own thing and not be strapped down in a stroller, but she did enjoy the rides and luckily none of the lines were extremely long. She was absolutely terrified of the characters, must be a girl thing, because both the boys loved them at her age. She didn't mind talking to Cinderella though, she was the only princess we got to see. Mason was kind of funny the first day. I think he wasn't quite sure what to think about anything and kept telling us he wanted to go back to the hotel. Towards the end of the day, he warmed up and decided he was having fun. The 2nd day was even better! Jakob surprised us the most and went on all of the big rides and loved them. He conquered his 1st big, upside-down roller coaster and loved it so much he went on it 3 times in a row. He and Mason also braved the Hollywood Tower of Terror (even their mom is too chicken to ride that one)! We had a such a great time and can't wait to go back again!
