Newborn Photo Shoot and Kim's Birthday

We got Mason's newborn pictures back this week. Here are our favorites:






















Mason didn't cooperate very well but we still got some pictures we are happy with, not too surprising though with how cute he is ;)

Here is what we have been up to:
Three monkeys on the top bunk
 I think we are well stocked for the winter
 We tried Mason's blessing outfit on and he looks pretty cute
 Silly  Nixon
 We painted our bird houses for family home evening

 Nixon's is quite abstract

 Tuesday was my favorite day of the year...Kim's birthday
 The kids wee really excited to make cards for their mom
The theme of our menu was "American Gluttony"
This stuffed pizza was amazing

 We had to walk off some of those calories to get ready for the rest of the evening
 The kids loved showing their mom the cards they made her

 Mason wasn't too impressed
 Kim needed help with the wrapping paper

 We chased down the pizza with this glorious 7 pound All American chocolate cake...or as much of it as we could


 The kids enjoyed the cake


 AMAZING!
 Kim certainly didn't get the birthday she deserves but we did the best with what we have. We love you Kim!
It is funny watching Nixon push his big sister on the swing
 Kim had a visit teaching appointment at the park. The whole time the kids ran around and picked dandelions. The lady Kim was with invited them over to her house after so the kids could pick flowers in their garden. Lyza did a good job arranging the flowers they picked.

 Yesterday we went to an event at our dentist's office where they were giving away a new Jeep (we didn't win). Lyza likes the free swag that they gave her
 After that we stopped by my office so the kids could pick out a treat
 They liked the candy drawer at the front
 After that we did a little window shopping and ran across this cute little robot
We have squirrels that play in our backyard every morning. I decided to take a little video of them (excuse Mason's noises, I was holding him while taking this video)
It is fun sitting at the table and eating breakfast while watching these guys play
He has a really cute stretch
He is also working on his laugh. We didn't quite get it on video, but his smiles are cute too
We are excited to see our parents this weekend. Take care!
