OMG we have an update

I know I have been missing for a long time. I was so behind I think I got overwhelmed. So now I am caught up through Jan. and I will get the rest on here ASAP. Once I get caught up maybe it won't be so much to do to stay caught up.

SNOW





Mason loved the snow. Of course mommy had to build him his first snowman. He thought it was cool and after we got out to drive around he spotted the "men men" all over town.

First hair cut






Cousin Grayson

Mason's cousin Grayson Zane Parrish joined the family Feb. 2nd in the wee hours of the moring. GiGi, Mason and i packed up and headed to Rogers at 10PM to get there in time to see him. Aunt Sassy was a super star (made me feel like a wimpo) and Grayson looks just like his daddy.



Mason was not real sure about the new kid :)

Mason was more concerned about his buddy uncle Joel the whole time.

Meeting the new baby for the first time

The proudest GiGi ever!!

Christmas #3

Yes that is right this is Christmas #3 for us. Mason and I (daddy had to work) headed to Warren to celebrate with the cousins. WOW was this a case of sensory overload or what. I think the pictures speak for themselves :)





Christmas #2




Aunt Sassy and Uncle Joel hooked Maso up with some Handy Manny gear


Movies and pj's thats my kind of present

Mason had enough and thought he would hide in the bag.
We celebrated the Parrish christmas at our house this year because of the bad weather. Aunt Sassy was very pregnant with baby Grayson but she braved the car ride so we could all be together :)



Christmas Morning 2009


What a wonderful day. Of course Santa spoiled Mason again this year. Santa really needs to get a grip :) I always wondered who took the picture of all my presents before I ever woke up :)

The Handy Manny 4-wheeler was a big hit!!!

Suprise!!!! Mommy got a new HP Mini from Daddy


Rocket tent is pretty cool too

Of course we had to go outside and try out our new ride

December 2009


Our mantle (no I did not do this by myself)


I did however do the tree plus another tree in the front window

Mason decorating cookies with daddy so he can take them to school

Painting ornaments with friends

We celebrated Mary Elizabeth's 2nd birthday
Wow how time flies. It seriously seemed like minutes after Halloween it was time to decorate the tree and wrap presents.

Helping Mommy





Mason tried to help me decorate the tree this year. I actually had to wait till he was asleep to drag everything out because he would have made a mess.

Chicago


"Hey Oprah are you home?"
Yes I was stalking Oprah's apartment and the security came out. Of course I went right up to him and tried to work my southern charm. All I found out was she definately owend an apartment in the building.



the church from "My Best Friend's Wedding" I love that movie and this church was beautiful.


Just sightseeing

at the "Bean"

"YUMMY!!!" Deep dish pizza.

We took a firm trip to Chicago this year and had a great time. We decided to stay closer to home this year since Melissa (Jarrod's partner) was pregnant with twins. I have been to Chicago once before to visit my good friend, Tara, but I did not get to stay long. This visit we had lots of time to wonder around and check stuff out.

Halloween Party


Mason was Handy Manny.

Jon and Kate showed up :)


tryingto get a good picture of this many kiddos was not an easy thing to do.

We had a great party this year. I love having a Halloween party. We get to dress up, decorate and have fun foods.

Happy Fall Ya'll


Fun times at the pumpkin patch.



Mason would not smile so this is his scary face.
Posin'
Mason shows you how to pick the perfect pumpkin.......
Enjoy a ride to the pumpkin patch
Find the biggest pumpkin first (but you can't pick it up)

So, you decide to get a smaller one.


Yep, this will do nicely.
"Wait......" How did my mommy get way over there?


TIP-Don't run in the pumpkin patch. Those vines will get ya everytime.


Ahhh safe with mommy and my perfect pumpkin :)
What a day!!!

JT turns 2


One bite for you


One for ME


and another for you :)
The fam headed to ElDO to celebrate Jt's birthday. The boys (Mason's cousins) were having a great time feeding each other cake. Mason learned you can't run towards the swing while somebody is swinging. After two feet smacked him in the face he was ready to GO HOME. Actually he servived without a scratch and was playing again in no time.

LOOK OUT

Naked drivers ahead..............

Silver Dollar City












We headed up to NWA to see Uncle Joel and Aunt Sassy then we all went to SDC for the day. It was freezing but we had a great time. Mason loved it even if he did not get to ride anything but the big train.
