Happy Thanksgiving!

We celebrated Mason's birthday early this past Sunday. He had a great time opening all his presents. He loves his drums from Grandma and Grandpa Klein, and his forklift from Grandpa and Grandma Frieling!


The birthday boy yesterday on his actual birthday!! Hard to believe he is 3!!!



I couldn't resist putting in a picture of Reagan and I! It is so rare to have any pictures of me with my kids since I am always the one taking the pictures!


Happy Thanksgiving to our friends and family!! What a wonderful year that we are thankful for! We are so blessed to finally have our family of four. The addition of Reagan to our family has been something to truly be thankful for. I am thankful that we are all happy and healthy. I am thankful that I have such a wonderful husband and wonderful son and daughter.

Christmas shopping is DONE!

Dare I say, that I believe I am officially done with Christmas shopping??!! All I technically have left to do is stocking stuffers for Kevin. I am so excited about going shopping on Black Friday. My Mom wants me to pick up a gift for someone and I can't wait to go with all the masses!

Mason's birthday is this coming Tuesday. We are not having a birthday party for him, we will just keep it small with us, our parents and aunts and uncles if we decide to do anything. He is really getting big. He is hard to carry now because he is so tall.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I love the smell of turkey baking on Thankgiving morning. I also love the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I love getting miserably stuffed! I love Pat's cheesecake. Ohh...I can hardly wait!

Happy Veteran's Day and Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 32nd birthday. Yep, you heard that right, 3-2. Kevin and I celebrated Saturday night by going and having dinner at Red Lobster. I am getting old. You know how I know? Friday night at La Hacienda a margarita gave me heartburn. Saturday night, yep you guessed it, a Lobsterita also gave me heartburn! What the heck is up with that????? The only time I have ever had heartburn was during pregnancy. I know I am not pregnant this time!

Today is also Veteran's Day. My cousin Raymond is on his second tour of Iraq and I want to thank him for his sacrifice and service to serve our country. His wife and two daughters won't get to see him until September 2009. God Bless Raymond and God Bless America. Thank you to all our friends and family who served and continue to serve our country. Because of them, we are able to live free!

Mason is really taking off in his speech. Even though it is still only one word at a time, he is really making progress. He is saying chair, milk, please, no, up, etc. We are able to understand him a bit more then we have been. I really hope this is the beginning of something big. Speaking of big, his 3rd birthday is coming up in several weeks! Can you all believe that? He has sure come a long way in 3 years. It is so hard to believe he is no longer a baby!

Here is some video of Reagan a couple of weeks ago figuring out how to roll over! She was not happy at all in this video. Can you all believe she is getting so big???? She loves to scoot on her back along the floor too, I am going to have to keep a close eye on her because she already moves more than Mason did at this age!

Last night for the first time, Reagan slept in her own room. Kevin finally got enough stuff moved out to his office to where we have half of the room ready for Reagan! It was so sad for me to put her in her own room but it is about time! She needs her own space and a bigger place to sleep in other than in our room in the cosleeper. She does seem to like her crib, even though she was up several times last night.

I have began Christmas shopping. I have my family, Glenn and Donna and Kevin left! I am pretty pleased with myself! I love this time of year! Reagan and Mason's shopping is done and so are my brother in law and his family! I went over to Columbia this morning to do some shopping and forgot my Sam's card and a few other things, so Reagan and I will venture out while Mason spends some time with Grandma and Grandpa Frieling this afternoon when they go pick up Haley and Bronson for the weekend. Mason LOVES his cousins and should have a great time!

Here is our little NASCAR Princess! She had to honor Carl Edwards since he won the race at Texas yesterday!!





Reagan - Friday night at Grandma and Grandpa Klein's - our first stop Trick or Treating! She had to get some snuggle time in with Grandpa before beginning her evening of fun!



Poor Mason did not like his "bag of corn costume", so we ended up putting him in his NASCAR driver outfit. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of that!
