September 2015

Well here we are at the end of December ~ it's time to play catch up on the blog!
I don't know what I'd do without my photo stream where I have all my pictures and notes.

Two sweet/funny things that I had recorded for Mason this month:
- "Mommy, I brought you some rocks! It's a daddy rock and a baby rock. The mommy rock is out on a date with her mommy friends."
- He might have had a little incident with not making it to the potty in time when needing to go to the bathroom.  I cannot even remember what we were doing a few days later but I had at least written the note of what he said..."So close! Almost made it.  Like when I had diarrhea."  ha ha!

Okay, maybe you didn't think that was cute... but there's plenty of cuteness ahead!
Starting the Halloween shopping... might need to supervise the kids a bit more!
Jackson's first day of full-day school at "Mason's School"!
These were our "first day of school" pics.

Now that the kids are squared away with school, Momma's off for a sisters weekend in Philly!  My first time away from the kids since Jackson was born (and I think I only ever left Mason once for a 1-2 night trip).
We did some fun wedding shopping for Lauren's upcoming summer wedding, and maybe a little bit of drinking too!  ;)
The trip to Philly wouldn't have been complete without the battle of the cheese steaks!
Meanwhile, rockstar Daddy did an awesome job holding down the fort
Silly Jack
Once I got home, we enjoyed some PNW fall weather in the COLD water
Hmm, little Jackster wasn't supposed to be joining this bath!
Sweet brother train and Jackson finding balls everywhere we go!

Anacortes Open Streets
Mason decorated his bike and helmet
We decorated the wagon too, and then met up with our buddies Tyee and Tate!
The picture on the right is my favorite... I was trying to get Tate to look at the camera and said, "where's Tate??" so Jackson pointed to him. 
They had a nice little obstacle course set up that Mason enjoyed!
And we were finally able to get both boys into the same gymnastics class.
Since it's a "mommy and me" class, it's quite a lot of work for me!
But they certainly seem to be having a lot of fun!
Mason [and a couple of his friends] moved up to the Pre-K room mid-month.
Here he is with his lead teacher, Mr. Tom.  I needed to get some new pictures for his weekly calendar!
Uncle Chad upgraded Mason's spidey jammies so we were able to hand the others down to Jack Jack. 
Dentist visit!  We were in the big boy chair this time.  And it tickled!
Jackson hopped right up in the big boy chair too!
He did GREAT letting the hygienist brush his teeth and loved the spit sucker.
The dentist was really impressed too!

Jackson's first haircut!  Say bye-bye to those sweet curls!
Look at this big boy!  He did awesome!  
Hopped up there just like his big bro.
Handsome boys!
As September comes to an end, it's time to break out the SKELE-BROS!!
Monster Jammies, monster-bros!
Just a little extra silly Jack.
He's so proud that he's sitting at the big table with us!

Sweet brothers enjoying some pumpkin decorations and water play
 Mason had a trial piano lesson and it went really well!
Ms. Joanna is fun and patient, and even let Jackson show off what he learned at the end of the lesson.
 Here are the boys practicing on their fancy piano!
