Being Mayson

This is Mayson being her silly self tonight. First she put on a too small cat costume, and then she found a floaty swim suit thing in the closet that she put on as well. She thought she was so funny...which we had to agree with. :)

My sweet (and hidden talented) husband

My birthday was Tuesday and Sam got me these beautiful flowers. He actually arranged them himself!! He's never been one to just buy a dozen roses. He always wants something unique. Well this time he bought the flowers separately and put them together himself. I thought he did a great job and had to brag on him. I really didn't expect anything since we just went on wonderful trip to Europe, so these were a nice surprise. Below are the before and after pictures.

Air Show

We went to the Air Show at the Air Force base in Marietta. Mayson liked seeing the planes. However the F-15, F-18 and F-22s were really loud and she wasn't too found of that. The first one that flew by was a F-18 that broke the sound barrier. She learned very quickly to cover her ears. It was really cute, she would see a plane and cover her ears right away, even if it wasn't loud.

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkin. Well actually here they gather all the pumpkins and bring them in from the field so it's technically not a pumpkin patch but it's still fun. There's a hay ride, playground, some animals and a small pumpkin/gord patch.

Daddy's Home!!

Sam got home from Germany Sunday night. We were so excited to see him. Mayson hadn't seen him in 44 days. I can't imagine how hard that was for him. The 12 days I was away from her while I was in Europe was tough for me. She was asleep when he got home but when she saw him Monday morning she was so happy. She ran up and gave him a big hug then was running around and jumping up and down. Below is some of the Daddy/Mayson bonding.

Top left is Sam putting together the tricycle we got w/ our points from Pampers. We were going to wait until her birthday to give it to her but decided to go ahead since it was still nice outside.

Silly Girl

Both these pictures made me laugh, we were on our back patio using sidewalk chalk. Mayson was just being her silly self

Gymnastics

Mayson started a gymnastics class on Wednesday. Right now she is the only one in the class. They also have a Friday afternoon class at 4pm that has a couple kids in it, but I wasn't too keen on that time, so for right now she has private lessons. She had a blast and didn't want to go home. She didn't understand why we had to leave. I attached a couple videos, I will try and get better ones next week.

Hanging w/ the Fam

We went to Tuscaloosa this weekend to get Rex since LaLa kept him while we were gone. Lisa and the kids came too, Todd had a last minute business trip so couldn't make it.

This is something Granddad does with the kids and they love it. "Tick tock, tick tock, Mayson is a granddaughter clock." Lael and Caeden still like to do it. I think Chace has outgrown it :) maybe because he is almost as big as Granddad!
