Rascal Flats... and my Birthday!

First of all I want to thank my mom and dad for the Rascal Flats tickets for my birthday and for watching Mason while we were at the concert! And also a BIG thanks to Chris Hubbard who totally hooked us up on our seats.

The story goes something like this... Mike hates country music and I really wanted to go to the Rascal Flats concert, and it just so happened to be on my birthday. My mom had said that she wanted to get me tickets, but Mike didn't want to go, so she asked if I would want to go with my dad. I said of course, you are never to old for a daddy-daughter date. Mike had told me that he was going to take me to dinner before the concert, and then I would go with my dad after dinner. So it was not until we were at dinner that Mike surprised me that he was the one taking me to the concert. I didn't believe him, I think I asked him at least 2 more times if he wa serious. So we had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory (and didn't have to wait, thanks to one of Mike's co-workers that works there). We got right in, had a great dinner and then headed for the concert. When we got there our seats were up in the upper bowl, it wasn't bad, but you couldn't see much because they did not have the Jumbo Tron going. After intermission we were told to check in with Guest Services to see if they could move us into some of the house seats... sure enough we landed in the 6th row just in time for Rascal Flats to come on stage! They put on a great show... Mike was pleasantly surprised at how much he enjoyed the show!

Thanks again to everyone for such a great day!

4 Months and Growing

Getting ready to roll over!
Hands are always in the mouth!

Today Mason is officially 4 months. We went to the doctor this morning for his 4 month check up and he is growing like crazy. He weighed in at 14.6 pounds (which is just under the 50th percentile) and he is 25 3/8 inches long (between the 75-90th percentile) so needless to say our baby is a little string bean... especially when you see him next to his cousin, Frank the Tank! His head circumfrence was also in the 75-90th percentile, but I didn't write that one down, so I don't remember what the actual measurement was! He had his second set of shots... I hate them so bad... and so does he! He screams so hard that he forgets to breathe, I just hide behind his head so he doesn't think it is me making him hurt! He is rolling over now (front to back only) which I learned is a little backwards, most kids go from back to front first... leave it to Mason to be different! He is also ahead of the game with his squeals and coos, the pediatrician said that they usually don't get that vocal until 6 months! Oh and the hands are constantly in his mouth, as you will notice in most of the pictures... it is hard to get a shot with out them! He is now constantly wearing a bib, it is dual purpose really. It is a puke collector as well as a drool collector. When he isn't drooling on himself he is puking and vice versa. That brings me to the next topic... the puking! Yes, for those of you not around, he is still puking... for those of you that are... you are very much aware of it! Especially Ya Ya who wore it twice on Saturday! Sorry:) But apparently it is something that he will grow out of, but until then we will just keep on popping the Prevacid!

Video Anyone?

Does anyone know how to add a video? I have a video camera and I have taken some footage that I thought I would add to a post... but I can not figure out how to add the video! I have the camera plugged into my computer but it is not recognizing it... I have even been reading the manual and no directions as to how to download video.

I know.... I know....

I know it has been a while... this is why it took me so long to actually get a blog, becasue I knew that I wouldn't have the time to keep it updated. I promise to take some pictures today... I have the day off and I add a new post with pictures of Mason! I know you probably don't like posts that are just writing! Stay tuned later today... this is for you Ashley and Natalie!
